They also all started with access to a certain amount of capital most of us will never see in our lifetimes. Gates and Jobs are/were exceptionally intelligent people who put in a lot of time and energy to achieve their level of success, but they didn’t start from nothing, and both were exceptionally lucky to have been…

I don’t know what the author of this article uses word processing software for (I imagine just writing articles), but for anything even slightly more complicated than just typing a rant, Word blows every other software that was mentioned out of the water. It’s not even close.

Yes. Dear god, I can’t even imagine trying to draft a complaint. There are so many random weird formatting things you need to do.

Why use a worse program? That’s all it comes to. People who use Word do so because it always works.

zactly.

Do you even know what happened in this story? It seems you missed the whole point!! This man wasn’t belligerent, he payed for his seat on a plane that United OVERBOOKED and kicked passengers off of AFTER BOARDING so that four pilots on STANDBY (didn’t even have tickets) could board a plane that was going to LOUISVILLE…

I smell united airlines​ PR department at work

the market has spoken. It said “fuck United and all their bullshit”

sorry

are you serious? . What they can do is offer more $$..everyone has a price. Someone else will take that $1000+ hotel. You can’t use force on a paying customer. He had a reason....What if your mom was dying and you had to fly home to see her? and the next flight out is not til the next day? C’mon man can’t blame the…

Good.

CEO: What’s this about?

how? I still have it :(

You know perfectly well that what’s behind these claims are not “art and artists”, don’t even pull that crap.

Exactly. Every tech blog has been bitching for years that Touch Wiz is awful and overwhelming with useless features and that the “pure Google experience”is what all phone makers should strive for. So LG does exactly what you’ve begged for and slims down their customizations and you call it “underwhelming” and “too…

LG really can’t win with the tech blogs, huh.

The answer, as always, is ‘more.’ Things can always get more ridiculous. And the big corporate nation states are aggressively pushing us back to the fiefdom ages of old. Carve out their own private corner of the world and everyone becomes indentured servants of whatever that corporation wants. They don’t want…

Buying a single VHS copy of Star Wars and then not being allowed to legally sell that single used copy would be a comparable scenario.

Nintendo is concervative. They take hudge risks in design but only slight ones in manufactuting. That is how they survive bad bets like the virtual boy and wii u.

Does Nintendo consider it messing up though? In the past, it was their tactic to intentionally short supply of their product to retailers. It kept the demand high and kept the retailers beholden to Nintendo and whatever strategy they had.

They’re not living beyond their means. After their luxurious lifestyle is all paid for, they have $600 a month to spend on whatever they want. The question is, why would anyone feel sorry for these people?
