Compatibility Woes

I awoke on the train, several stops past my destination, confused as to why my internal alarm failed to go off. As it turns out, JR, in a monopolistic ploy to increase demand, has "upgraded" the Personal Train Happy Waking Service. As a result, my surgically implanted alarm clock can no longer connect to the train's GPS device. As has been the response to similar strategies from Microsoft, many are importing knock-off hardware. In a related bulletin, downloads of Dr. Hfuhruhurr's Do-It Yourself Brain Surgery FAQ have spiked this month. While the nationalist media ignores the issue, Mr. X will continue to investigate into whether it has received too much attention already.
