AT&T Weds T-Mobile; No Reception Afterwards
AT&T to acquire T-Mobile USA I’m sorry. I’m still exhausted from my coverage of the American Crossword Puzzle Tournament. Better jokes next time.
This Is Why We Can't Have Nice Things
Ever since I can remember, I’ve thought of our country as one, big, mostly happy family. Stay with me on this; it’s not as delusional as it might seem. Like all families, there is always one relative who gets caught doing something naughty. And instead of admitting fault and taking his time-out like a man, [...]
If You Think There Are No Jobs Out There….
… you are clearly not thinking creatively. BP is hiring. Position requires a positive attitude, an ability to laugh off harsh personal attacks on your character and a willingness to clean up Tony Hayward’s poop.
And Just In Time, Too
Attention, mergers & acquisitions people: SSL International, the makers of Durex Condoms, is being acquired by the firm that manufactures cleansers called Cillit Bang and Finish. There goes my ‘PG’ rating. You’re welcome.
Physics For MBA Students 101: ROUND Sandwich In a ROUND Hole
Here’s a reason why physics should be taught in Business School: Candwiches. Before I even get into the whole federal fraud thing, or the what-kind-of-moron-would-eat-a-sandwich-from-a-can thing, or even the obvious how-the-heck-did-they-get-that-thing-in-there-in-the-first-place thing, I would like to draw your attention to the convenient pop-top opening at the top of the can. As any soda drinker knows, [...]
There Is No Need To Panic
… That waxy smell and flavor is probably just the protective coating that keeps all those great vitamins and minerals in (part of your complete breakfast.)
"SouthWest Airlines: Of Course We Take Your Complaints Seriously"
Note to Customer Service Representatives: Never answer customer complaints on “Margarita Fridays”.
Well, Our Work Here Is Done
IBM, a trusted name in technology for reasons we can’t seem to remember right now, handed out free USB drives to people that most likely contain malware. At a security conference.
The ACLU Will Have Something To Say About This
I have news for you if you happen to live in Jakarta and own a body part that — for the purposes of maintaining my “PG” WordPress rating — we will refer to as an ‘airplane’. Apparently, your ‘airplane”s constitutional rights are being violated. At least, they would be if it was flying in U.S. [...]
Matlock Would Never Have Approved Of This
From the Department of How You Can Tell The Legal Profession Is Secretly Laughing At Us: Grapes with a EULA. For those of us (and by that I mean me) who are not extraordinarily tech- or legal-savvy, End User License Agreements are those long, boring documents that no one reads but everyone clicks “Agree To” [...]
Probably Not A Good Time To Ask For A Raise
Warning to photo editors: Tuning out in editorial meetings is not a good strategy in this economy. And here is your #1 reason to PAY ATTENTION.
It's A Good Thing He Didn't Say 'Banana'
Anyone who has spent a lot of time with a small person below the age of, oh, five years old or so, knows that their sense of humor is just beginning to emerge. This emergence is cute and adorable, but can be alarming to someone who is not used to it. At this point in [...]
To Avoid Pregnancy: Don't Forget To Carry The '1'
WARNING: Today’s post contains some terms that might be upsetting to the highly squeamish, such as ‘menstruation’, ‘undergarments’, and yes, I even go so far as to talk about ‘multi-column addition’. If you happen to be one of those people with a delicate constitution, I advise you to turn away now and find another blog [...]
Moving On To More Sobering Economic News…
… H. J. Heinz Co. suffered a 7% drop in net income at the end of their first quarter according to Marketwatch.com, and will reportedly spend the next fiscal quarter trying to play ketchup. My apologies. That seemed really funny to me at 2:00 in the morning. Back to our regularly scheduled programming.
Haggis Cola Hits The Spot
I don’t want to cause any undue concern, but the soft drink manufacturers in this country have finally gone off the deep end. In a fascinating development that makes you wonder just how heavily medicated they really are, the marketing people responsible for messing around with a perfectly good formula at Coca Cola have announced [...]
