Ashton Kutcher is apparently influential with staff at Apple who internally refer to the Shortcuts feature in iOS 5 as the 'The Kutcher', reveals TV Guide.
Shortcuts is a feature that will recognize inputted strings and replace them with predefined text.
It's Week 3 of work on the Two and a Half Men set, and Ashton Kutcher is still getting to know his costars. Conversation drifts toward mobile phones, and Kutcher reveals there's a feature on the iPhone 5 that Apple internally calls "The Kutcher."
What's "The Kutcher"? "An in-mail editable text expander," the actor explains. Jon Cryer and Angus T. Jones are dumbfounded. "Jon, how many times did we have this same conversation with Charlie?" jokes 17-year-old Jones. Cryer quips back: "All the time. He was always talking about the new spellcheck on the iPhone."
I don't believe it to be either. But I do think it is funny how people hate/love an awesome (or potentially awesome in this case) product just because they don't like someone. You will also be the same person to miss the bus to salvation because someone you don't like is on itâ¦
