"Hopefully by the end of your visit you will understand the operation better and appreciate the utility of this invention."
You only need to look at the grainy photograph and all becomes clear. There is nothing staggeringly complicated about this invention. I'd be surprised if someone hasn't already done this somewhere. It disappoints me to see multiple patents being applied for this.
And I wonder if the device is calibrated to a particular variety of coffee. I wouldn't want to drink the same brand every day - which rules out home use. Besides, the idea of brewing both espresso and filter coffee from the same type of beans doesn't appeal.

Please could you increase the default width for filenames in Explorer. It's f*cking annoying that you have to reset it with every Explorer window opened.
People may wonder, but I don't think it's about simple profit. I believe Amazon uses the "cash and burn" model. You take continually growing investment to fuel continual expansion, ad infinitum, without actually turning a profit. Sort of financial momentum.

Dear Microsoft,

Yours, etc.
Anyone notice the prominent "(Alpha)" notice on the Shadow screenshot?
Can't imagine it's referring to the CPU, either.

Fantastic series.
