Oh, James Fleishman, not Glenn Fleishman.

You see what I have to contend with here!

Not a relative. Not a friend. Not a well wisher.

(My family's name was transliterated from Lithuanian Yiddish written in Hebrew characters. They could have chosen Fleischmann, but, no, they had to go unique.)

I want an Apple-logo Home button...

The PGR/Samsung case report -- there's an App for that:

Or just '400' to an assembly language programmer...

Google could have really messed with Apple's legal team on that one.

In the original version of this story, I wrote that it wasn't Glenn Fleishman. But then I decided you probably didn't want Google forever associating your name with this dude. YOU'RE WELCOME.

Look at your hands. Hold up your 10 fingers/thumbs and waggle them. Maybe wave them in the face of your "opponent". Now think of them as BINARY digits. What number base 10 are you showing?

1024 decimal = 400 hexadecimal. That's why the assembly programmer's reference. They're born with 16 fingers. Sheesh!
