reality distortion field

It means exactly what it sounds like it means. When Steve says or does something, the very nature of reality is altered.

Steve says that Safari is the best web browser out there? It is.
Steve says that the iPhone gives you the "true internet"? It does.
Steve suggests that you need a bigger brighter screen to watch video on your Nano? You do.
Steve informs you that the ability to create ringtones from music you already own for an additional $.99 is a good deal? It is.

These are not the droids you're looking for.

$599 is a completely reasonable price for a sexy cell phone.
Wait! Now $399 is a completely reasonable price for a sexy cell phone.

You need a new iPod.
The reality distortion field was in full effect at Apple's keynote today.

social distortion

One of the seminal Orange County (California) punk bands. The Sex Pistols, Johnny Cash, the Rolling Stones all f--ked in a blues bar...and out came Social D. Great band, defined as "refusing to sell out in order to sell more records."
Blink 182 is no Social Distortion. The Vandals were Social Distortion until they released their last crappy album.

distortion

A sound that is not part of the original signal. Distortion can be a modification of the original signal (intermodulation distortion), or generating new signals that result from the interference of a combination of signals (harmonic distortion). Can be characterized as a roughness, fuzziness, harshness, or stridency in the music. There are many distortions that can be measured: IM (intermodulation distortion), harmonic distortion, and TIM (transient intermediation distortion).
Distortion can cause breakup, where the headphone can’t handle the power or the low frequencies, which causes sound to crack up.
