The act of posting replies to someone's blog entries, sending them IMs or SMS messages, modding up their forum posts or otherwise justifying their actions on the Net as a lead up to a booty call, asking for admin privileges, etc.
Dave's been posting an unusual number of positive comments to my blog, I get the feeling he's netstroking me.
The series of fifteen IMs waiting for me on my machine at home from Tom was a serious netstroke.

A person who works in a call center, usually a lifer who has --for reasons unknown to the common man-- not been fired yet and has been deemed somehow superior to other call center agents. His job is either to rove or answer the mentor line. Roving mentors walk around the call center waiting for desperate agents to flag them down, sometimes involving the embarassing process of waving some sign or doing a chicken dance, in order to get help with resolving a customer issue. Mentor line mentors take calls from other call center agents and attempt to talk them through customer issues while the customer is on hold. You can't call the memtor line unless you have someone on hold, but you can get around that by dialing someone else, dialing the mentor line, then hanging up the first dialed line.

A paytard is someone who spends money indiscriminately, particularly on the Internet or on technology products.
Mike is such a paytard, he just spent another $400 on a new iPod 40GB even though he already had an iPod 20GB. Is it really that hard to clean up your music library?

The act of providing incremental updates to a piece of hardware such as a smartphone, CPU or wearable device in the form of marginal spec bumps instead of releasing a revolutionary device.
Usually requires you to buy an entirely new device to get, for example, slightly more internal storage space or a marginally better CPU speed.
Usually done by hardware manufactures such as Apple, Motorola and Qualcomm.
The goal is to make as much money off of existing technology as possible before spending money to innovate.

I really hope that Merrifield and the next iteration of it are good and I hope Logan is great too because no one is competing with Qualcomm so they are literally sitting on their asses trying get another year out of bumping clocks on Krait.
