I've got one better. Submitted an application for a company, didn't hear back. Got a new job in the meantime and about 2 months after I submitted my application, I got an e-mail from their head of HR, like not from a no-reply addr

Cinemark came out with their own subscription service. Not the same type of deal as MoviePass but still, it made me decide to go with theirs over MoviePass. Sure it means I'm locked in to Cinemark only if I want to make use of it but I

I think it's a trained behavior for a lot of users to default to wanting a mobile app instead of going to a mobile site because, at least in my experience, 9 out of 10 times the mobile web experience is flaming garbage and just infuria

Nintendo Switch isn't using USB-C, officially. They're implementation is not spec compliant unfortunately so the blame should be 100% on Nintendo in this case for using a universal port with proprietary implementation.

It seems somewhat counter-intuitive to go to an on-demand video delivery service and want to see a lot of text though, no? People didn't go to Blockbuster to go read a description of the movie on white note card. I see this mentality a

I think they're being serious. Names are important, not as much as the underlying technology, and I think some people legitimately would be embarrassed trying to pitch a DB with the name Cockroach, or their phobia could be so extreme t

Personally, I prefer apps over websites almost always unless the app is just a dedicated browser window to the company's website. I feel like the mobile experience on almost all websites is absolutely terrible when compared to a dedica

I don't really get this sentiment. I get not wanting to see ads that have nothing to do with the service you're using, but I personally have never been upset or revolted at HBO running their trailers for other shows before the sho

YouTubers get a lot more money for their product placements than they do for their views. Hell, almost universally all the Tech tubers did promos for Dyson's new battery powered vacuum. YouTubers don't get a direct benefit for you

If you're in the US there is HBO Now which is their cable-free subscription service. I believe the actual monthly fees are still being serviced by third parties though, e.g. I pay Apple 15 dollars a month for my HBO subscription, but I

While not the sole or even probably a significant reason for the decline in split screen; I think split-screen has really suffered because of the need for consoles to be both somewhat affordable but also not terribly behind in terms of hors

Part of the thing with Blizzard is they have the Overwatch League which they're trying really hard to legitimize as a true spectator sport. I don't know the specific person you're referencing in your post but there are player

Honestly curious, why is it a delusion to want the WWW to be a more powerful platform that offers more than just being a web of shared documents? Why is it bad for there to be an array of purposes or applications available on the Web? Just
