As well as embracing the bald, embrace what bald gives you . Do you know how long it takes me to get ready in the morning? Minutes. Do you know how many times I look in a mirror? The answer is often "none", because nothing much c

I heard somewhere - reference long lost, sorry - that repetitive music makes us happy, but slightly unpredictable repetitive music keeps us really happy. It's like the brain has a threshold; under the repetitive threshold is boring

Who exactly does IBM still have credibility with ? I don't know about the rest of the world but here in Australia they're an absolute laughing stock. They're the company you call to mind when you want an example of laughably
