Cpt. Obvious

I would argue against that. For one thing, this movie obviously glorifies creepily watching sleeping girls.

Ah. This actually strengthens an old idea of mine: that it was the absence of Elliot in his world that helped to create Lord Tedd. Also, I had once before speculated on the possibility of targeting Elliot to get at Tedd. I am rather sorry to see my hypothesis confirmed in this way. :/

They do however spin in midair if a face-up piece of buttered toast is strapped to their backs...

Dang it! There you sank my theory that she'd been practicing extensively with enlarging cupcakes to the max and shrinking herself to the min just so she could dive into the cream filling... Which wouldn't have been the least bit hard to explain if someone walked in on her...

Elliot would be like "We had to break up before I could see you naked?"
And then Ellen would say "Don't you dare break up with Ashley for that reason!"

Well I have no opinion on that as I'm just a figment of my imagination.

We've been over that. It is I who is made up and everything else that is real.

I suspect, if asked, they developed a sudden interest in baseball.  Of course, in canon, that is if you aren't thinking about Grace, but we could generalize it a bit.

I'm glad I read all the way to the last comment before posting. Saved me a whole lot of typing, and you managed to explain the non-euclidean space idea way better than what I would have been able to.
The only things we are certain of right now is that no matter how you slice it there are going to be problems, and when the nitpicking begins just about every clever theory ends up requiring more magic for it to work.
 

Sure, doing the shrinking by removing cells, molecules, atoms or elemental particles is impossible without killing the person (at least if you shrink 7x).
When shrinking the "space" - making elemental particles smaller - you don't hit any problems inside body ; the size of particle is already function of some field. Where you hit problems is the border - normal and shrunk particles would react very differently than two normal or two shrunk particles, most likely explosively. But this problem disappears if instead of magic "ending" after shrinking there is actually some magic field which stays in place and converts particles between big and small version, or in case of something bigger, wrap it into the field and convert it gradually later (this is happening with food). Only problem is that you effectively have different values of physical contacts inside the field and outside, which sounds very similar to what Raven describes as spicy magic.
(Note: this is supposed to agree but extend what Scotty is saying.)
Another alternative is to use non-euclidean space, similarly as in bag in holding, just not closing it completely. Catalina is actually still as big as normally, but the space is curved so parallel lines which are 3.5 feet apart inside her body are 0.5 feet apart outside. Of course, normally would bending the space so much cause all sort of city-destroying effects (especially considering you might need more curved space than in black hole ... hmmm ... maybe not just city) but so would the mentioned bag of holding, lot of teleports (some work differently but many are supposed to bend space) and any of those magic doors and mirrors which have their ends very distant if in same universe at all. In fact, just in EGS, the shape of universe which takes griffin's half into account would likely be complicated. So, I would assume that it's proven that magic CAN bend space without gravitation-based sideefects.
And to look back at the cell reception: can work ; magic field will simply resize the wavelength of photons entering or leaving the shrunk area. It would be no different from what it already does with photons of visible light, which would otherwise develop big shift, resulting in Catalina not being able to see visible light and instead seeing ultraviolet with her 7x times smaller eye cells. In fact, considering Catalina does NOT complain she's blind, we can consider proven that the cellphone works
PS: Violating the thermodynamic laws is likely bigger reason for physics crying. And yes, it happens with magic very often.

More importantly, it sounds exactly like the sort of thing Catalina would instantly think was a good idea. And then minutes later horribly fail at because she couldn't keep her big mouth shut. You see, Catalina has another magical power -- her mouth is always big no matter how small she gets.

My shrink tells me that talking to yourself, to include answering yourself, isn't a bad thing, as long as you know you are doing that.  It's when you talk to yourself and you think you are talking to someone else that life gets, as he puts, "somewhere between not real good and very very bad".

You don't write much fiction, do you?
I get into conversations with my fictional characters quite often. And I've lost several arguments with them.

Chances are, mechanical clocks, ones with gears and a pendulum for the timing, might work, but electronic quartz bases clocks won't, at least not accurately, she could probably try to simulate an electronic clock, but it might be too fast or too slow if she can't accurately simulate the electronics.
Same goes for this, if Sarah doesn't know the process of how computers store information, how can she even attempt to accurately access it beyond what's initially displayed.
Where the datacenter is located is irrelevant, the fact I'm trying to explain is Sarah could try, but the illusion would attempt to take from Sarah's imagination, there's a good chance that if Sarah just types in a random thing she knows little to nothing about, she'd either get something that's obviously fake, or nothing. Alternately for something local, she could open Windows Explorer (the file manager in Windows, not Internet Explorer) and if she had used Explorer before, the GUI would appear for it, but the drives, folders and files would either not exist, or be loosely based on Sarah's experiences if she ever rooted through Explorer on her computer, so nothing there would be accurate either.
She may also be able to load up Solitaire or Minesweeper, but chances are she'd have a 100% win rate.

And I think it's time to stack up on balls of yarn...

Back in my time spent on IRC there was a /slap that involved a trout. Someone had created their own version that used a 60lbs Unix manual instead of a fish. Used it quite often too so....I would say Yes?

I hope not.  Apple is to full of themselves now.  Plus guidelines from on high should not be in a proprietary format
Information wants to be free
DRM is spawn of the Evil Ones.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN 'USED TO BE', FOUL UNBELIEVER!!!!! (!)

Getting scratched behind the ear, under the cheek, belly rubs, sleeping thirteen hours or more a day and no one says anything about it... The list goes on...
 
Oh, and no one "owns" a cat, they own you. Claiming anything else is delusional.
