Solid state devices come with less smoke, so you can miss the smaller amount of smoke that comes out. You see, back in the good ol' days, devices had lots of storage space for smoke. Look at the size of those glass tubes, for example. Lots of room for smoke in those! And all the parts were bigger, and they had special parts, called capacitors who's primary job was to hold smoke! One of those old tabletop radios could make enough smoke to set your smoke alarms off, which is why nobody had smoke alarms in their houses in those days. But now, with all those tiny ICs (Which stands for Internal Combustion, because they let the smoke out inside the device.) there is so little smoke that escapes to the outside that most people just don't notice.

And you will note they don't say a thing about that on the packaging. When was the last time you saw an Apple computer box that said, "Now with 80% less smoke!"? No, they try and hide it, because they know somebody is going to want a refund! "Hey! I'm not getting as much smoke for my dollar as I used to!" They try and cover it up with doubletalk about labor costs and hikes in material costs and increased taxes, and somehow they never get around to explaining about the smoke. It's those 1 percenters again! They're keeping all that extra smoke for themselves! They have special offshore accounts where that smoke is kept, and they never, ever report that smoke on their income taxes. That's the real reason Romney won't release all those tax returns, he doesn't want anybody to figure out he hasn't be reporting his smoke on a yearly basis. Put that together with all the mirror purchases he claims as "business expenses" . . . well, you're all smart people, I'm sure you can put it together.
