The original CEO/investor, Steve Perlman, was forced out. The company is surely being sold for a pittance and at great loss for the investors. Even if the idea didn't work out, if the investors/CEOs hadn't made the company, the engineers wouldn't have had jobs in the first place. They can make big money, and in this case they lost a large amount. The engineers just shrugged it off and got another job.

That had nothing to do with the article, but I'm glad you were able to get that off your chest!

You are way better than the "sheeple" out there who use Facebook to talk with their friends and family rather harmlessly! Keep fighting the good fight! I hope you don't use any Google products, either!

Making rules against cyberattacks against US computers? LOL!!! Foreigners should just be able to hack away with no repercussions! This HAS to be an April Fools! LOLOLOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well similarly, nothing in your post disproved the existence of a teapot orbiting the sun.
It's fairly common practice with action movies. Godfather, Lord of the Rings, Matrix, Batmans, all did not have opening credits.

It's true that George Lucas was forced to pay a fine over this, but basically your post is nonsense. To quote Wikipedia, that infallible source of wisdom:

Many major American motion pictures have done away with opening credits, with many films, such as Van Helsing in 2004 and Batman Begins in 2005, not even displaying the film title until the closing credits begin. Similarly, Welles's Touch of Evil originally waited until the end to display the title as well as the credits; however, Universal Studios took the film out of his hands, and his vision was not restored until 1998. Had Universal not wrangled Touch of Evil away from Orson Welles, it might very well have been the first film to follow this practice.

George Lucas is credited with popularizing this with his Star Wars films which display only the film's title at the start.[1] His decision to omit opening credits in his films Star Wars (1977) and The Empire Strikes Back (1980) led him to resign from the Directors Guild of America after being fined $250,000 for not crediting the director during the opening title sequence.[2] However, Hollywood had been releasing films without opening credits for many years before Lucas came along, most notably Citizen Kane, West Side Story, 2001: A Space Odyssey and The Godfather.

The Macbook is quite expensive and rather large for a laptop, this is the budget model of a tablet/ultraportable latop. Personally I would consider that a poor showing by the Macbook.

Dude lives in the middle of nowhere. There's nothing wrong with Comcast not offering him service, there's something wrong with them claiming they did when they didn't.

Additionally, the homeowner should have been more diligent that his home in the middle of nowhere, with no cable box, would actually have cable.

Internet over 4G really isn't that expensive, and that's what he uses now. I'm surprised that doesn't work for him.

True, I was simplifying. But basically he just said he ate less and exercised. Why would this be a hack? It's just common sense. A hack implies some kind of clever nerdy invention.

The bro-science book that says you should eat 6 meals a day? It has some good ideas on lifting at home if you are poor and can't afford weights or a gym membership, but that's about it. Later, the author went to jail for transporting loaded assault rifles across state lines.

So you weigh only like 45 kg/100 lbs? Do you even lift, bro?

Wow! The guy ate less calories, and he lost weight!

I meant solid state external hard drive, of course.

While I think the basic premise is a little silly, I imagine a $200 fanless laptop is powerful enough to run Plex (I run Plex Server off an old Mac Mini, and never have had any problems).

Depending how much space you need, get a solid-state SSD or even SD card, put some kind of basic protection about it (a cheap laptop bag?) and throw it in your crawlspace.

My Plex server runs fine over wifi (with the router right next to it), but I still have it connected to Ethernet. I imagine that could be a problem with higher bitrate movies.

Holy crap, and the GM of Toyota probably doesn't go on record as being a fan of Ford's latest offerings, either.
