When Eudora email client was still a thing, a receptionist downloaded and installed a plugin that turned every letter into a different color of the rainbow. A rainbow-colored email was quite annoying. Fortunately, she got canned right away for other reasons.
If you read the article, he made a small fortune outside of YouTube through an external business. With the business shut down and the outside income gone, he probably became distraught that the ad revenue from YouTube wouldn't support his lifestyle and he would have to get a job. YouTube is a great place to build an audience but not for making money from ad revenues.
Probably not. Most traditional publishers are keeping ebook prices high to protect their print business. If the hardback is $36, expect the ebook to be priced the same.
That's cheap! I paid $129 each for all three models of TI calculator I was required to use in college in mid-1990's. None of them played Missile Command like the $500 HP calculators did that the electrical engineer students had.
A good rule of thumb is to never use them in anything important.
Someone should have told the designer of the movie ticket dispensing machine. It's not unusual for the touch screens to be unresponsive and/or have massive dead spots over the virtual buttons. If you're really lucky, one machine out of a half dozen will behave perfectly.
When you got millionaires and billionaires putthing themselves ahead at the expense of the public, people are not going to have a positive opinion of capitalism.
Did you become an engineer to get rich? Engineering pays quite well, but to get rich you're better off in finance.
The electrical engineers I went to college with in the 1990's are now working in I.T. support, some are still paying off student debt and a few are bitter that their career crashed and burned in the Great Recession. Yes, they all got an EE degree because it was the money major of the day.
I'm intrigued that engineers in Silicon Valley feel they are empowered enough to make such demands.
The Silicon Valley labor market is very tight. Engineers and most tech people are in a position to make demands, especially if they are currently employed and don't need to find a new job.
You're thinking in terms of headquarters. Microsoft and Amazon have offices and brick-and-mortar stores in Silicon Valley. Maybe you need to learn how to fact check?
When the 85/87 interchange was being built in Silicon Valley, small hills on a lot were scraped down to become landfill for the freeway. Construction workers found a boulder-sized deposit of abestos. Caltrans picked up the tab for cleaning up that up. That lot became the future home of an auto dealership because it was so large and flat.
Especially since Facebook is running out of non-users to convert into users. Once user growth starts declining, Wall Street wll bail out in a hurry. Facebook stock dropped 20% two weeks ago because it missed the quarterly numbers by $100M and a shadow fell across future growth. Now everyone is recommending buy on the rebound. If I was interested in Facebook, I would have bought two weeks ago.

LBJ nicknamed his johnson as Jumbo. So it really should be called the Jumbo Space Center.

The supply closet was 6' x 10' with a folding table in the back. We called it the scream room. ;)
I can neither confirm nor deny what happened in the office supply closet.

I stand corrected. However, the quote really does apply to Star Trek 5: The Final Bomb.

They are just chipped like cats and dogs.
So they're neutered, had all their shots and kept on a short leash?

Don't forget a colony orbiting Venus. Can't have all those Venusian women going rogue on Earthlings and Martains.

Never mind that YouTube is the second largest search engine after Google.
Wikipedia will need more than one AI to peer review each other's pages and make the pages authoritative in the underwear sniffing department.
I would expect a Tesla to have built-in cupholders.
