Steve's Mass Appeal

"What they should have been doing was making rational profits and going for market share."

Nope, let's aim for snobby, snobby, overpriced. Mid 90's Apple has returned (-sigh-)

Border Crossing Rules and Regulations

Trouser Cats: Prohibited

Trouser Snakes: Allowed

Not for Everyone, but always Someone

Internet data pilfering and misuse, an expectation of fail.

After we finally eliminate prostitution, we can make this go away as well.

On the other hand, it does seem to be recession proof and always in demand.

We'd just like it NOT to be a primary flaw of our major companies.

Proactive Reservations

"The biz is also offering to cover a year of identity-theft monitoring service."

Since it takes Marriot four years to uncover such shenanigans...

Can new guests get that free protection NOW, before the new system is inevitably discovered as hacked?

Not much point in giving out life-vests 4 years after the boat sank.

Just add some more detail

Maybe if the facial recognition was not just based on your face, but your face with a rarely displayed expression.

"Hey Joe, why are you making that strange face?"

"No worries Sam, that's my unlock face. Just forget you ever saw it."

Overstepping on Word Ownership

As one of the few states with more than one state motto (they must have their reasons), let's add yet another such as:

"Virulent purveyors of language"

or maybe

"With God all things are possible but certainly not engineered, unless a state license has been issued"

China is not the Scapegoat

Tim needs to elaborate on why he thought China was going to increase their Apple iPhone consumption, despite:

* An increasingly competitive smartphone landscape

* An Apple price point set at a new all time high

* New features that are rather ho-hum and don't uniquely address any particular Asian demand.

Maybe if China manufactured the product, the multitude would better see the brilliance. Oops, guess that didn't work either.

Joy to the World

Listening, reacting to your customer's concerns.

How business should be done.

Short-sighted Stupidity

Companies go to China:

Stockholders cheer, local workforce depends more on government.

Companies get hijacked from China first polices:

Stockholders demand government involvement, local workforce shares their knowledge of this place called "The Shaft".

A bridge too many

Bricking the devices will certainly make them secure.

While some people will change the locks, Logitech's step 1. is to bulldoze the home.

Bacon, the (edible) fabric of our lives

Why just vend bacon? Bacon works well paired with most anything.

M&M's with 1 slice of Bacon, Coke bottle with 1 slice of Bacon. Personal hygiene product with 1 slice of Bacon.

Bacon isn't everything, it just makes everything... Better

Creepy Poacher Types

Cutting off shark fins, rhino horns, elephant tusks, and apparently deer heads while leaving the resulting mess for others.

Being better people, thankfully we don't respond in kind by removing the unlawful parts of their anatomies.

Prank Check

I think the cosmonauts were hoping to find a doodle of a monkey pointing to the "hole" in his butt.

The comrades at the factory can be so funny.

Otherwise, this hole thing was not cool, not cool at all.

Nueral Net AI Driving

They are asking too much of one AI-car to make decisions.

It would be beneficial to let AI cars share information with each other, to coordinate actions and give heads-up alerts to hazards.

There is safety in the herd. But they must be smart enough to avoid the lemming cliffs.

That personal touch

AI killing is so cold and methodical.

I guess we would prefer the operation to be more "warm and fuzzy".

The type of killing, great grandpa used to make.

Throwing the wedding rice, a new future awaits.

Today's IBM and Notes, has been working about as well as the partnership of water with a grease fire.

HCL at least wants (loves?) Notes. You'd have to be crazy in love to PAY for the privilege of maintaining it in the present condition.

Notes and IBM will likely still remain friends.

If you depended on this app, Google recommends you try a new app called "Allo-vera".

It's for people who get burned.
