I'm guessing you guys didn't get any Apple freebies in your stockings this Christmas?

You mean you didn't pick up on the "Caller IQ" option in the latest release of OS.X-for-iPhone?

Lord Steve our saviour of the Church of Jobs will not be ridiculed in this way!
I wish to place on record that this is incitement to religious hatred against my fanboi brethren and if the law won't save you the Lord Steve will visit vengeance upon your house, unbelievers!!!
All kneel and praise the saviour of personal computing!

I heard you liked obvious April Fools jokes so I put an obvious April Fools joke in your Register issue so you can get fooled on April Fools day.

No way - more like 10-2-36 looking at the diagram.

I already had a method for dealing with voicemail, although it doesn't work on all systems. Just send yourself a message to turn on the message-waiting light, then turn the phone over and flip the switch so the light goes out. Then you don't get bothered by messages from anyone else.
As for phone call avoidance, I've done that for years. It's known as "time for a cup of tea", where one merely picks up one's cup and heads for the kitchen when the phone rings.

before realizing it was an April fool.
Apple would NEVER patent something obvious like an answering machine that doesn't record message. That would be Microsoft who does that, because they are the only company that can afford all the lawyers required to protect such an absurdity.

If it was not true it would be funny.

I have to admit a geeky chortle at the use of Avogadro's constant for no apparent reason.

I'm pretty sure that was used to identify the humanoid figure as a "mole"- an internal spy.
Still made no sense, as the "mole" would seem to be using said avoidance techniques to prevent disseminating inside info.
