Not a huge fan of the little face camera dingleberry at the top, but what I really find ugly on the iPhone X is the sides. You've got the screen, then a tiny little bit of black, then a tiny bit of bright, shiny silver. It just looks a

IMO it really depends. In my current role if I'm running any interviews I might talk to maybe 2-3 candidates at most. But in a previous role that could be more like 20-30, and when you're meeting that many people over a week or so

Moral of the story, people are bad so don't store anything sensitive on a tiny little device that can be easily taken from you and broken into 100 different ways. If you insist on storing your leaked NSA documents or whatever on your p

But Samsung hasn't sold it anywhere near as well as Apple. Honestly, I don't care about watches all that much so I don't go out and look for smartwatch related news, but even as a bystander I can't help but to hear all a

Damn, so does this mean I need to actually take off my VR apparatus to receive delivery of my dank legal weed? I can still pay with Bitcoin, right? Sorry I mean Bitcash. Wait no, Dogecoin? Or was it Litecoin? For real though, 2017 produces

So from this story, we now know that: 1. A woman at a law firm earned less points for reasons and thus got paid less. 2. The firm claims this was commensurate with her performance. 3. She says it was not. 4. Other women at the same firm d
