No, as a phone company, completely aside from the wireless side of things, AT&T is a horrible entity to deal with in every way. They treat big corporate clients - buying many dozens of products and services from them - just as shitty as the customer who has a single mobile phone. They have broader scope for screwups…

I think there are a lot of things like this that get it the wrong way around.

Okay, but button your jacket. We don't want to see your nipples.

It will enhance the masculine appeal of trenchcoat-wearing teen boys across America.

You've improved upon Samsung's stylus. Brilliant!

Run to the store? Are you crazy? If you've got a baby monitor on the job, you can walk to the store. No rush.

You know nothing, LocoRobo.

But over-engineering is what BMW does best. Why make it simple when it can be unnecessarily complicated?

With reduced yields in some places, it would seem to be a third world problem as well.

I'm pretty sure he's a Blackfyre.

Lord Baelish. He's small and he's the smartest man in Westeros, but he doesn't flaunt it.

I came here to say exactly that. Well done.

Historically, Alfas probably have the most experience coasting in neutral.

But you make my point for me. Why would HBO risk their primary revenue model when the alternative is not quite 1/6 as large and offloads a lot of the marketing expense to the cable providers who act as resellers? HBO doesn't have much room to maneuver because of existing contracts, but they aren't going to renew…

They have already considered the money you think they are leaving on the table. It is calculated for when terms are negotiated. Delayed releases to other media are exactly why cable providers are willing to pay what they do to insure temporary exclusivity. They know with absolute certainty that they make more money…

HBO's interest is in making as much money as possible. Cable (and Satellite) providers offer them piles of it. And HBO is important enough to cable providers that they'll probably offer HBO much better terms to keep them exclusive to cable subscribers. But HBOs not going to play hardball until there's at least a…

It's unfair of you to speculate regarding ulterior motives for why he apologized. We don't know his internal motivations. We can only evaluate what we actually he actually did, which was the right thing to do after a mistake which he acknowledged.

Purses.

Has everyone forgotten all the complaints about the original iPhone being too large? People used to feature phones (back when tininess was THE best feature of all) and earlier smart phones lampooned the iPhone for barely fitting in pockets and looking like a book held up to your head.

The value of click-throughs will certainly diminish, but advertising hasn't traditionally been about directly converting eyeballs into sales.
