[citation][nom]haljordan[/nom]If you can't stand to take off a glove in the cold, or can't wait to find a warmer place to utilize your smart-phone, then why not snip off the tip of the glove index finger. I wouldn't imagine a person would lose that much body heat that way or suffer frost bite. Though, with a sausage stylus you have an immediate snack at your finger tips...decisions, decisions...[/citation]

Or, if you can't stand the cold, why are you so desperate to use your smart phone? Is it a life threatening situation? Do you really need to use the phone at that moment?

Damn those koreans are smart. Keep their hands for getting cold, and then when the get in a nice warm place those fuckers have snack already in hand. FUCKING GENIUS I SAY!

However, some creative south-Korean smartphone owners have come up with a better solution: sausages.

For certain values of 'better', certainly. They can't invent a stylus that will work with capacitive touch screens? Come on.

so if no sausages around they can just open the zipper in the pants, pull their "johnson/willy/cock" out and slap it against the touch screen, ehh?

It gives a new meaning to: No judge, I was not flashing my penis at the girl, I just tried to call home..

[citation][nom]deadlockedworld[/nom]I'm confused-- I thought the touchscreen sensed electrical current? Or is that just the patent filed for the next generation?[/citation]
Here's a little known fact: next to silver and gold, sausage is the 3rd best conductor of electricity.

[citation][nom]pattyrr[/nom]> Apple should be held responsible for this Responsible for what? For designing a touch-screen that works exactly like it should? Designed to be touched by hand... not a sausage.[/citation]I knew this was gonna happen. Settle down there champ!

News sure is slow today. Eh?

Couldn't you just wear leather gloves and give 'em a lick? It'd be more convenient... plus leather gloves are warm warm warm. =D
