1) Im in ur base, killin ur mans — old school gaming smacktalk telling somebody that you’ve infiltrated their base and are killing them. Basically the first part is “we’re going to develop an iPhone killer”

2) can has iphone – i can has cheezburger. Reference to lolcats who desperately want a cheesburger but can’t quite get it.

so: I’m going to develop an iPhone killer, but can I please do it by living in your shadow?
