The maxim as I know it is making fun of people above you is fine, making fun of people with you is probably alright, making fun of people below you is mean. Of course, measuring where that power lies is the minefield.

What’s the origin of the penalty announce, anyway? It’s not like in basketball where telling the table who got the foul matters.

These things get millions or even billions of views a day; errant clicks alone probably make them…

Laying off the general manager is not usual end-of-development downsizing.

The iOS sandbox is more restrictive than the Android sandbox. The best an iOS app could do is ring the phone (something like Skype).

Speaking as a straight male, it’s disappointing how few players wear knickers

Mercury is the tough-luck go-getter putting in all the hard work in the unappreciated blazing inferno of sunlight while all those GLORY BOY planets get the groupies and highlight reels
