They found a way out. They will still pay US tax on US profits.
No. See, what they do is they "sell" all their patents to an Irish division of the company. That makes all the revenue they get from the US, "Irish profits".
Do you believe that only 30% of Apple's profits are from US sales? Do you really believe that?
Before Sony was an evil fucking corporation it was an awesome fucking corporation. You bought Sony if you wanted an excellent product.
I remember. They used to have miniDisc players that had some of the first AD/DA audio converters at the consumer level. I used to buy them at garage sales and use them to make music using early versions of ProTools.
Also, they had some nice multiband radios and a field recorder called the TCD5M that was superb. When I did sound for films I used mine all the time. A lot of pros used it to replace the Nagra recorders. That's how good it was.

I enjoyed the hell out of mst3k, but some things are better left alone. It's really hard to recapture something that's very specific to a time and a generation.
Seeing new mst3k episodes is kind of like watching a Guns'n'Roses reunion tour. It's not going to be anything like seeing them back in the day and it all feels a little seedy and desperate with a fat, bald Axl Rose and the once-rocker audience now checking their smartphones and Apple Watches to text the nanny that they're going to be a little late.
If you're an artist and you've done something good, move on and do something else good. Don't try to recapture your glory days. Like Earnest T Bass from the Andy Griffith Show used to say, "I don't chew my cabbage twice".
This reminds me. I had a '72 Plymouth Satellite 2-door with posi-traction when I was in my junior year of college. It was a totally bad ass car. I wish I had it now, if only to show those friggin' millennials with the new Challengers what the original looked like.
I had glass pack mufflers on it so it made a racket when I was taking off from the stop light. Got about 3 miles to the gallon, if I remember correctly, so I mostly kept it parked.
I didn't know there was more than one. The Hobbit ones have the guy who plays Dr Watson alongside Cumberbatch's Sherlock, right? Yeah, the one I saw wasn't so horrible. It had dwarves who found some big basement filled with gold and then the head dwarf didn't want to give it up and then the badass elves came and said "You've got to give up that gold" and the dwarf said, "Nuh-uh!" and then Gandalf came and said some shit and then the orcs came (love the orcs) and then Billy Connolly as one of the dwarves comes riding up whipping orc ass and them some more shit happened and then...I don't remember the rest. But I love Billy Connolly because I find Scottish accents to be funny as hell. I like to imagine Begbie from Trainspotting riding the Caragor, yelling, " 'CUSE I FOOCKING TOLD YA SO, YA DOSS CUNT!
It wasn't great, but it wasn't horrible. I'm pretty sure I was high as fuck when I saw it though.
So, there were more Hobbitses after that, and did they have anyone with Scottish accents? I'm gonna go watch a little Begbie to tide me over.

Qatar is Amsterdam compared to Texas. You know, they only have two things in Texas, right?
And you don't look like a steer.
They're still in Texas.

Yeah, a time before Sony was an evil fucking corporation. The late 19th century, I think.
And I wish I'm gonna win the Lotto, but it ain't gonna happen either.
I'm pretty sure this is the Year of Mars on the Desktop.
Heating from hot young things tends to cause chemical and crustal differences in my underwear.
Sorry. It's Sunday night and my fantasy team is in the toilet and I've been drinking.
Thanks a lot, Obama.
Bless your heart.
Jeff, you're supposed to be on paternity leave. Put down the computer and go tend to your wee bairn ya doss cunt.
Well, there you have it. Here in the US we'd rather have our children raised by wolves, because we have to fill all those privatized prisons.
If Zuckerberg really wanted to give his kid a better outcome, he'd dissolve Facebook immediately and give all his money to the EFF.

You want a retread of a show from the '80s and you think I'm the one with the issues with aging?
Dude, there has to be something more compelling than your show from 30 years ago.
Green Acres, starring Kanye West and Kim Kardashian in a dual role as both Lisa and Arnold.
It could work if they could get Ricky Gervais to play the Sebastian Cabot role. And Charlie Sheen to play Uncle Bill.

My kids can play with Lincoln Logs just like I did. The Playstation is mine, dammit.
I prefer, "seasoned".

The fact that the only customer is the government, using taxpayer money.
You know, they make pajamas with feet for adults, right? Just be prepared for your significant other to never look at you the same way again.
