One of the biggest main lines in the Apple store I worked for (and left - i started between $11 and $12 an hour in Northern VA btw) was that you were SPECIAL by working for Apple, and you were giving people a world, etc. So what if they paid more, etc.

I was one of the few people there that didn't own a Mac (the discount would have been great to use, but they didn't pay me enough to buy it in the first place) so whenever someone would talk about switching from Windows, I was the one to sell them - or not sell them - a Mac.

Honestly most of the times I sold Macs were because they could dual boot windows and go to the mac side if they felt like it.

was very very very happy to leave Apple after the corporate hiding of sexual harassment, the divulging personal info to managers that were fired for said sexual harassment, and many many other things.

(For the record, I still only own an iPod.)

ASCIIpOrtal is a 2D platformer that has a portal gun. It shares many of the same elements as the original game, plus a few others.

Here, have a demo:

Exactly. We're all well aware of all the things people do to alter their appearance on a daily basis to look more attractive. If someone is naturally overweight and works out a lot to be thin, that's "altering their appearance". If someone has cosmetic surgery for any reason, it's the same thing. So is makeup, hair coloring, hell anything but the most basic hair styles in general. Specially tailored clothes fall in that category too.

It's stupid to complain about this since the vast majority of people (men and women) do things on a daily basis to make them look better than they naturally do.
