The sketch artist could have intentionally drawn the women My thought was that we, as individuals, don't really know what we look like. Sure we see ourselves in the mirror but how much detail do we see? I see my wife all the time and c

But the JCP consumer wants their coupons. Johnson shouldn't have tried to bring JCP up to Macy's or Nordstrom, it was never going to happen because Macy's and Nordstrom aren't giving up those customers. Kohl's and Target have stolen the JC

The point of those mini-stores (store-within-a-store) that make Target so successful is that you can possibly get things that you don't have access to. It brings people looking and those people will hopefully see your other stuff while the

There is a way to successfully appeal to a broad range of consumers. Target is a master of this. Johnson wasn't or at least felt the scorched earth policy was going to get it done faster. Too much, too fast for the JCP core consumer.

There's nothing left to say except the people who hired Johnson are idiots. He was successful at marketing a high-end brand as high-end and had no clue on how to tactfully re-brand a company that had been around for generations. Especia

Isn't this in direct conflict with whistleblower laws? I mean, it should never be illegal to report on illegal activity. However, if PETA feels that a perfectly legal and well-maintained slaughterhouse should be taped and the 'horrors' sho

That’s right. Given the data at hand, the “damaged goods” myth is just that — a myth. It’s a rationale regurgitated by those who remain stupefied by the lifestyle choices of pornstars. I think that 'myth' probably wasn't a myth 40 years a

He illegally accessed a network to download material that wasn't his. If this was all a big misunderstanding, why did he set it up the clandestine operation in a server closet? His intent was to distribute the material. The CFAA was the

The bulk of the Aaaron Swartz case was around distribution of copyrighted material which he was allowed access to but not distribution of. This is not merely a ToS issue as there are laws against distribution of copyrighted material.

We don't want to have a system where you're needlessly imposing burdens on thriving industries or even budding industries Messaging is superfluous on the internet. Everything has it from Words With Friends to World of Warcraft. I unders

I don't install non-work IM programs on my desktops anymore because I found that an 'online' status typically denoted to people that I'm available to talk. It got to a point where my wife was even pinging me too often. Then I just put it

In defense of the modern male, things just aren't as simple as getting on a whim of building "walls and sidewalks, installed woodstoves, laid tile, added electrical circuits and plumbing fixtures, fixed furnaces". There are so many codes t

I don't think he needs to back that up. I mean there isn't a whole lot of difference between an amorous, unmarried couple who cohabitates together or an amorous, married couple who cohabitates together. In the US, other than a document fr

The average age at which a woman first gives birth (25.7) is now earlier than the average age of first marriage (26.5), a phenomenon Knot Yet calls "The Great Crossover" and which brings with it all of the well-documented concerns that sur

What happened to the good ole days when a huge corporation would just implement the app on their own and cut out the need for an aquisition? For $30 million, even an order of magnitude less, I think a lot of us could put together a team goo

Sometimes it's not that they are smarter it's just that they aren't constrained by current thinking, maybe even the pragmatism that comes from experience.

It's very odd. At this point Bezos is patenting something that (probably) doesn't exist in the hopes someone does build it or his team can build it. It would be like someone realizing that we could send out electrical signals from a transm

The only lawnmowers I've seen are the rotor-bladed push-powered mowers. They usually only have them in the spring when all the garden stuff is out.

I can buy trying to figure out allergies, but Type I diabetes? It's clearly hereditary, rarely showing up without some family link. Finland may have a high rate due to a lack of ethnic diversity.

I can see one or two of those things being covered but even 30 days of PTO? That's 6 weeks per year that you won't be in the office. Portland (OR), USA, right? Not Portland, Spain/France/Norway? :P

This was the comment that convinced me that you are a sexist. I can honestly say that you are being over-sensitive here. It was a tongue-in-cheek comment. You should remove the stick.

You are stretching on all of you examples. The Men's Warehouse commercials are as I described before, they talk about looking good for a function - work but life also. This is the pragmatic men's marketing. It's not the 'expensive so it m

Think of how men are marketed to and you'll see the difference. It's not a name brand or a lifestyle, almost everything marketed to men has some sort of pragmatic function to it. Be it the big F-150 that can tow a ton, to the comfortable (
