Haha, I've kinda liked that he uses that picture, tho.

Yeah, but you're not a tech journalist writing to an audience of 20 million, who you would kinda expect by job description to know at least the top 5 internet companies in the world, so slightly different situation.

Aight, this might sound harsh in light up the update, and yes, Tencent has very little US prescence. But com'on. They are four times the size of Yahoo. Earlier this year they were higher valued (and still maintain more users) than Facebook.. If a Chinese tech journalist had never even heard of Facebook, wouldn't that…

I'm sorry Eric, but you just sound incredibly ignorant right now. Tencent is the third largest internet company in the world (behind only Google and Amazon), with a market capitalization of $90 billion. They run one of the most popular chat services in the world, issue credit cards and handle billions of dollars in…

Maybe you just need to try more interesting games? FTL, Don't Starve, The Walking Dead, lotta super good stuff has come out recently.

I don't know, four months is definitely enough time to produce a track, and there's more than just sounding similar. That horn in "thrift shop" follows almost the exactly the same pattern as "wut"s chorus, the cadences of the first line are very similar, they both start with "what"s chanted in the beginning, it seems…

I know it gets a mention in the article, but I think it needs to be clarified that Macklemore owes all his success to biting the song of an actual queer rapper, who he never even credited.

What I don't like is how the main character is far less interesting than any "supporting" character. I don't like how it's basically "white lady goes to prison," and on a more meta level, "white lady profits from…

Well, a cell phone charges at about 5V, and an electric car charges at about 600V, so no. If you tried, your phone would catch on fire.

Oh, well done.

As long as we're leaving out Dallas.

Wait, the rest of Texas? Let's not get carried away here.

They could call it "Right Wing Slime"!

I never do. But I did once have a girlfriend who considered it tantamount to cheating if I thought about someone else while masturbating, which seemed insane.

Holy shit. Move to Austin, or something.

Hahaha, oh man. Yeah, totally, it's like I help people paint the picture of their lives together. Only $180/hr.

Nah I was just giving you shit for some reason - breaking double/triple pine boards are a good way to condition. But seriously tho, this guy should not need the boards they use for little kids.

Dude, really? We always used oak.
