A disturbing story about laissez faire capitalism →
Apple executives say that going overseas, at this point, is their only option. One former executive described how the company relied upon a Chinese factory to revamp iPhone manufacturing just weeks before the device was due on shelves. Apple had redesigned the iPhone’s screen at the last minute, forcing an assembly line overhaul. New screens began arriving at the plant near midnight.

The Kings of narration,voice-overs
I think that in 25-30 years Johnny Depp will be the king of narration and voice-overs just like Morgan Freeman and James Earl Jones are today. I also believe that, like those two greats, he will still be a working and great actor.

Buying the Farm
Hi,
I had a heart attack at 0200 last Sunday morning. Survived, just got home a few hours ago.
I will write more when I am not so tired but a few things:
I missed my tumblr community. I may not post a lot but I follow and read daily.
A lot of the cliches about looking death in the face are true and an equal amount not so true (at least in my experience).
Standing outside at 0200 in 38 degree...

A dialogue box for the “Create Post” button like the “Cancel” one that asks you “Are you sure you want to post this? Have you carefully thought this post through?”
Maybe that would stop a few people from posting dumb…

It's Only Sunny in Philadelphia
OK, I haven’t laughed like that since the last episode of last season. This is an insane,hilarious,brilliant show. The doctor office scene was one thing but the limo scene kept me laughing for 10 mts. The fact these characters are so sincere in their self-absorbtion makes this show special.

I’ve written a great many words about the death penalty over the past week (here and here) and many people have seen fit to read them, to think about them, to share them widely across the internet, and to discuss them with me. For this I have been extremely grateful.
I think it’s safe to assume that not a single one of the people who attended the GOP debate last night read any of...

Apparently, LinkedIn has recently done us the “favor” of having a default setting whereby our names and photos can be used for third-party advertising.
This is getting god damn ridiculous. I’m done signing up for shit. You want to get in touch with me? Try the phone or email. If you don’t have those, maybe you should think about why you don’t have that...

Remember how everyone used to bust on Ben Affleck because he was in so many terrible movies in the late 90’s and early 00’s? People acted like he was the stupidest jerk in the film business but I defended him and maintained he was talent. Good Will Hunting remains one of the best movies I’ve ever…

We shall not speak of last night's game
cvxn:
Other than to say the smartest thing I did was get up from my seat in the middle of the second and stand next to some Silver Lining-ers talking up the positives - because believe it or not, there actually were some. (It also helped to get suuuuper high afterwards).
So we’ll win it with Game 5 at home. That’s not going to suck.
It’s still our year. And we just need 2 more wins.
