Gribble flange

(grĭb′əl flănj)

n.

A Gribble flange is actually the device that causes electronic and mechanical devices to fail just a few weeks after warranty expires. Accurately tunable to suit different warranty periods. Perfected by Apple to require only a new improved OS every six months or so.

Formerly seen as a money grabbing device to benefit the manufacturer, now seen by Gen Y as no more than a friendly reminder that whatever the device is, it's about time we had a new one. In a different colour.
Ted: 'Where's your new iThingy?'

Bill: 'The Gribble Flange kicked in early - it's in the shop for repairs. Hope they forget to reset the timer chip.'

Infosomnia

* In·foe·som·ni·a

noun

Inability to obtain sufficient sleep, esp. caused by the overabundance of thought processes: difficulty in falling or staying asleep; sleeplessness due to memory banks being overloaded with data or distracted by the quest for more input.

The question as to whether it is a syndrome caused by too much stored data or the quest for more is very valid, and has been the subject of many and varied studies over the years.
Hilary used to lay awake at night: After getting over several years of mild Nymphosomnia, Her more recent and well-documented Infosomnia was often causing her to be overly tired and hard to start in the morning.

Modwashed

WoW, He used to be a laugh until he was modded, now he's just angry all the time, and has no time for us little people, or even to post in teh fora.
