Or even more admirable: Startup and shutdown of the iPhone are silent. Vixy's Samsung Android phone has to play a goddamn melody every time it starts up or shuts down. Haven't these phone manufacturers ever attended a concert or a movie?

"Please turn off your cell phones. Unless you've got one of those annoying phones that plays a melody when you turn it off, in which case, please just leave the building and quietly smash your phone on the sidewalk outside."

Really? You feel the need to actually turn off your phone at that point? Isn't that what the silent switch is for?
