I was thinking the same thing.
Apparently technological advances in Canada only apply to robots and not consumer devices.

Mobile phones ??? Canada only recently switched from the telegraph to the telephone. This further proves 1114 has better technology than the rest of Canada.

I wonder how many others wish they could too "win the last match" and make confetti angels on Einstein.

It's a heck of a moment... and I'm glad K enjoyed it.

My personal cell phone is in my hand. The phone on my belt is a loaner from GM, used by our mentors to talk to each other at competitions and cut down on our roaming charges. I know, it's very Zack Morris.

It looks like the aftermath of Karthik getting swamped by a tidal wave of confetti after it has ebbed away.

That reminds me of one of the greatest all-time quick comebacks from one of our students. During our first visit to Portland we were hanging out in Pioneer Square and a friendly, but slightly inebriated local clued in to the fact that we were Canadian and decided to have some fun with us. After the usual go-round about sled dogs and igloos (the students assured him that we were moving out of igloos and into teepees due to global warming) he asked,

"So, like... do you guys have cell phones in Canada?"

and one of our programmers replied, spinning his finger in a little circle,

"Yeah... but they're rotary dial."

We all laughed and the local fellow happily wandered on to the next pub, or wherever he was heading.

P.S. Just for the record, however, our cellular air time, particularly data plans, are rather over-priced, and none of the carriers officially supports or sells iPhones at the moment. Pity... one could actually program a rotary dial interface into an iPhone, now that I think of it.

Rotary-dial cellphones? They exist.

Karthik basking? Karthik doesn't bask. He's always on the go. Someone must have stunned him with an accidental blow to the head. At least he's got 2 phones to call for emergency help.
