Comment Re:Yeah yeah the US does this too (Score 1) 196

I agreed to be a "web intern" for the local newspaper one semester. I thought I'd be helping to design layouts or code bits. No, it turned out all I did was copy news stories from Quark and paste them into HTML, and modify/crop the newsprint images for the web.

A recent Supreme Count ruling makes that type of work paid. If it isn't education and setup to benefit the student, then you get should get paid.

Submission + - Microsoft Pulls iPhone YouTube videos (thenextweb.com)

Sez Zero writes: Microsoft’s Windows Phone team posted today a rather cringe-worthy Windows Phone video on YouTube that mocks Apple and its recent iPhone announcement. Titled “A fly on the wall in Cupertino?”, it depicts what some might believe to be Apple CEO Tim Cook and Senior Vice President of Design Jony Ive in separate meetings to go over the various color options and other features for the iPhone 5c and 5s.

The nearly two minute clip doesn’t follow the same style Windows Phone typically does when making fun of iOS and Android phones. All you see are two “employees” poke fun at the decisions that Cook and Ive make about the next generation iPhone. What makes things awkward is that although you can only see the back of the actors’ head, it appears that Microsoft has got the wrong image of who Cook is — or is it supposed to be Steve Jobs?

Comment So how much does it weigh? (Score 1) 164

They say it is made primarily of carbon fiber, which I guess is for weight savings, but why not tell me how much it weighs?

I don't mind the way it looks, even if it looks mostly like a toy (I think because of the size), but agree with others that a plain-jane designed electric car would probably sell.
