“the new Motorola Razr will clock in at the eye-popping price of $1,500 retail (still less than foldable competitors Samsung Galaxy Fold at $1,980 or more and Huawei Mate X at $2,420)”

It seems like common sense to not have to say this, but here goes anyway:

Every single person that had something to say about the original design needs to get their ass to a theater and see the movie. I can’t think of another time where a movie studio immediately listened to the audience and backtracked this publicly…

I do the exact opposite; I stand up as soon as the plane takes off

Do you know what I do when the plane lands? Nothing. I sit there and relax while all the busy bees trip over themselves and get angry and work their blood pressure up trying to get two minutes ahead of each other, and when they’ve finished I leisurely stand up, grab my things, and saunter casually off.

The window seat has the window. The aisle has extra elbow room. That’s why you pick either window or aisle. The middle seat is fucked.

There are so many perks and freebies at Google’s HQ in Mountain View that I really doubt enough employees would join a union. These people are basically kept in gilded cages . They can get all the free food they want so they don’t have to go home and cook...so a 16 hour workday is cool

Use it here. You privacy is not more important than my life. I’m not joking. Fuck your demand for privacy.

Why don’t they all just sound like the Jetson’s car? Everyone knows it and it’s already perfect.

This guy must be Russian or something. Doesn’t even slow down. #NFG

That’s load-bearing paint.

These combatants are also well versed in the classic flanking maneuver. By which I mean maneuvering around despite consuming 6 flank steaks per week.
