Pure jealousy I assure you, as I grind away at an AngularJS tutorial for work, not for fun, I sit here thinking I could be out doing what I want instead of this! Sooner or later these buggers are going to stop paying me - PLEASE!

I work almost as many hours as I used to but when I want and on the things I want. Am remodeling a house, learning to program the Arduino Due [first shot at ARM processors], learning Eagle[^] [so I can create my own PCBs], photography, camping, hiking and the list goes on.

crApple Elephanting over power users. Color me totally unsurprised.
Meanwhile, in MS land the Elphants keep parading as well. Yoinking 6GB out of my main PST into a secondary one only took about 45 minutes.
Compacting the old one down to recover SSD space is ongoing and has taken 4 hours to squeeze out 2GB of empty space. All this is being done while a model dialog is keeping me from accessing my accounts.
Meanwhile as for elephants hiding in the corners; my version of outlook will corrupt PSTs larger than 20GB (2013 lifts the save limit to 50GB). I was within 5% of the danger zone; and never got any warning of the problem. 
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

I'm on Outlook 2010 and have a 29GB OST. I don't even bother sitting through the 6hrs of compacting to get that 5% bonus anymore.

Unless I'm mis-remembering which version upped the limits, your .OST is a ticking timebomb. OTOH if you have a copy of everything on the exchange box it might not matter.
I'm stomping on mine because until I stop procrastinating and finish building my new box, my SSD is near capacity and creating a new 7GB PST for the 6GB of archival data I pulled ate half my remaining free space.

Everything's on the server so if it goes a bit pear shaped I'll just nuke and re-download.

After about 14 hours of compacting I've gotten a bit over 20% of my space back (19 GB -> 15). Hopefully the elephanting thing will be done before I'm back home.

'bendgate'
Dear oh Christ it isn't THAT important. Wow, you can bend your phone if you apply loads of force. No sh*t, its made of aluminium and plastic.

Sounds a lot like the initial reaction to Antenna-Gate from the faithful; and we all know how that one turned out. 
Maybe this will give Cook the opportunity to prove he really is the next Jobs by getting up on stage and telling people "You're pocketing it wrong."

I don't see how people can bend iphones in their pockets.
I mean, their pockets are empty after they've paid for the damned thing.

"It is one of the busiest Starbucks in the country, with a captive caffeine-craving audience of thousands of analysts and agents, economists and engineers, geographers and cartographers working on gathering intelligence and launching covert operations inside some of the most vexing and violent places around the world."
It is also now the only coffee shop in the world being targeted by ter'r'rists, so the rest of us can drink our coffee in peace.

Whenever I hear a Dutch speak of coffee shop, I assume he means something else:

This coming from a guy whose name, essentially, is "a Dutch guy's pyjamas"*.
Is that the Canadian equivalent of "a big girl's blouse"?
* "Arend" is a dutch boy's name, for those not in the know.
