How do you know that the internet is even real and not a cleverly designed honeypot?

Or maybe the CEO of Apple sits on the board of Disney. You know.

He uses NTFS junction points you insensitive clod!

Don't want to flame but the only OS with proper support for blind or disabled people is still Windows.

That's why a constitutional monarchy is such a blessing. Essentially, nobody is in power. The monarch can refuse to sign the laws put forward by the parliament. But parliament can vote to dethrone the monarchy. Which means more power to the people. In theory ofcourse.

I'd love to be able to create my own stats and upload them to LG.

I'd rarther reverse engineer the protocol and then build a 'crap stats generator' which sends insane viewing patterns to LG. You know, just to tilt the balance in another direction, to make their entire stats database worthless and get a few managers fired. Not allowed? Collecting data like that is highly illegal and could cost LG their import license.

My A4 does 9 liter diesel per 100km while cruising at 210 km/hr (and when I'm the only person in the car). It does 4.6 l/100km normally at 100kmph, 62mph. Which roughly translates to 21 mpg at 130mph. With a full tank that means I can get up to 600 km, over 350 miles, at this speed.

I just told my boss I have to go home because Facebook isn't working properly. So I can be at home looking at a non-functional Facebook.

Gmail has been constantly giving me javascript errors for months now. In Chrome, always latest build. So having a Google product yield errors isn't that unexpected.
"SyntaxError: Unexpected token https://mail.google.com/mail/ca/u/0/#inbox:1"

Because the use cases, paradigms and business environments change. Word 95 was sufficient in 1995; nowadays I need Word to be compatible with the cloud, be secure, and integrate with modern environments. So you do need the regular upgrade cycle or you'll be stuck with 90's technology.

I always tell people I'm the newly appointed VP when they catch me around offices I shouldn't be.

Didn't the guy give an interview to Forbes in August? These dates don't match up.
