Wow, that must have been painful to film. It was painful to watch. How does anyone seriously think users want to watch this dumb crap?
Renault sacked Piquet and of course he spills the beans on their race fixing conspiracy. Gosh, can’t imagine why they didn’t see that coming.
When your growth plan means acquiring every other company in the industry, there’s bound to be a point at which the plan is no longer sustainable. Add to that they’re gouging their customers during the worst recession in decades and you begin to wonder if they are someone you’d want to work for.
Just when you thought it would make sense to buy cheap hardware, cut corners and sacrifice just about everything (performance, reliability, etc), lo and behold it’s really not the case.

Gotta hand it to The South for keeping the Old Ways alive and well. “One principal said, ‘I was whipped as a child, so it’s fine with me.’” Why stop just because you grew up?
All of my problems have been solved, thanks to TweetLater. What with Twitter falling down two days in a row it’s a godsend to be able to express myself immediately and still have my nuggets of wisdom appear once Twitter is back online. After all, you know that I’d otherwise forget and never post anything. :)
I’m so happy that I’ve learned this phrase. I’ve noticed this phenomenon myself for years and now I finally have a way to refer to it.
If I had a fight with a person here in the U.S. I’d face a night in jail and a fine. But in Azerbaijan you get one to five years for so-called hooliganism. That’s what I call a tool for the government to suppress views they don’t want anyone to hear.
United Breaks Guitars — I love it, finally take their shit and throw it into the fan for everyone to see. The problem with airlines is there is never anyone that is responsible for customer satisfaction. Customer service is one thing, but actually ensuring that customers are satisfied is simply too expensive. Shareholders don’t see the value in it.
