The jackpot is hand paid, so I think its defrauding the casino staff that verifies the payout?

There are signs on these machines that read malfunction voids pay. This ultimately is a malfunction, and is the casino's responsibility is to verify before payout. Exploiting a malfunction to increase payout on an already negotiated win mig

If this is such a problem, why aren't news sites delivering executive summary like articles for mobile customers? A 400 character summary written by the article's author would be easier and more accurate than this.

I don't see where the article mentions a 1000+ person company. There's lots of answers to the structure question, its a good question. I was referring mostly to boss with a boss - and what the term boss implies vs leader, or enabler.

The problem is not the author, the code, or the original programmer, the problem is here: "First to my boss and then to my boss's boss and then to his boss and then to a whole assortment of higher ups..." "Many of those boss's boss's bosse

I wonder if Netflix's neglect to innovate in this area is a result of concentrating all their efforts on content. All the UI features in the world won't mean much if you lose all relevant content feeds. This also brings up time between sear

OK, Apple's support product, for the Mac. The focus on support is to address buyer's apprehension that the Mac is difficult to use, support being a key benefit to many buyers. If you are saying support helps to resolve difficulty, then yes

This ad is for Apple's support product. I think it's well made. Having worked at an Apple Store, I don't see this ad calling anyone stupid. Users finding value in Apple's genius support product (benefit) would strongly identify with these

This is very interesting for use with a mock gambling game - one where users cannot cash out. Users can buy in-app chips to keep playing. Is this the entire purpose of it? I'd think actual gambling online, even with no house edge, has prove

I did something similar, boil about 5 hours of work down to 15 seconds using an Excel macro. I was told to re-do it by hand, because my future replacement wouldn't understand how to use a macro.

This means like is a misnomer. It should be the opt-in & endorse button. This should make the like button very valuable, as users discover their likes are used as endorsements to their friends. But its still an ad disguised as mechanic

Facebook will figure out the ad problem - and that's the problem. They're seemingly profitable now on ads (not 100B worth), and through innovation, testing, & learning revenue will grow or at least not disappear. Advertisers will unders

Since this message is directed to new hires, probably in a new-hire orientation, I don't see a problem. New hires know exactly what they're getting into with Apple, at this point. At least this message has more soul and honesty than "we're

Workers who feel powerless by sophisticated solutions need to learn the solutions, and not be intimidated by them. Yes, assembly line workers need simple steps to do a job. But that of course isn't who this is referring to. In your example

Doesn't this assume users have no choice? If a better map product came along, couldn't they also make it free (to compete with Google's future raised prices) and then when Google is bankrupt, raise the price? Isn't this totally ignoring the

Isn't this the basis of "disruption"? Change the format and you cause people to look more closely at something. Users will get used to timeline and they'll have to change again. Also I'm skeptical of the statement "facebook will be changing
