When I went through it I tapped as fast as if I'm playing a video game, although not because I'm a fast reader, more because there are so few words on the screen. I don't think there's a good way to solve this, or that you need to.

I think their return volley on this was pretty solid. They made a mistake. Did they know they were making it and did they do it deliberately? I am probably naive here, but I don't think they did.

I think the reason why this is able to get grow even stronger in 2012 is because our phones are able to make us more beautiful than our laptops. The easiest photo processing I can do is on my phone (Camera+), not my laptop.

This has been proven to be one of the things that helps grease the slide for a prospect to become a customer. One of the key things a salesperson does is to get the prospect to get accustom to a "series of yesses." Even the smallest yes, such as

Salesperson: "Nice weather today, isn't it?" Betty, unsuspecting: "Ah, yes..."

The thinking being that since the final sale will require one big yes, building up a series of small yesses gets the prospect in the habit (albeit subconsciously) of agreeing with the salesperson.
