"Also, give reasons. Give honest reasons." Companies deliberately don't give reasons due to concerns about legal action from rejected candidates. Sorry, but that's just how it is.

Backeddies from the wind bouncing off your body back to the sensor can screw with the readings.

I would be much happier if no one wore VFFs or Uggs in non-specialized situations (running, whoring, etc)

Vivo is automatically disqualified for naming their shoe sections "Mens" and "Ladies." Ladies don't run.

Heh. I wonder how many 1st Gen iPads are ending up as 'kitchen pads.' I know ours is. I also wonder if it therefore makes sense for kitchen-focused apps to make sure they still work on iOS 5.

I freeze up and blank at arithmetic (and required extra lessons in elementary school) but I am really good at (and enjoy) higher math like calculus, trig, linear algebra, etc etc. The only time I can reliably add, subtract, divide, multiply…

It's 'vittles', not 'viddles'. Derived from 'victuals'

Don't use chopsticks in Thailand at all. Don't ask for them at Thai restaurants either. The Thais use a spoon and a fork. That's just good sense.
