The newer products are actually pretty good: XPS 12, XPS 27, they announced the XPS 13 with a 1080p screen, and so on... However, I think they had some problems before that and this might be one of the reasons why they're in a pretty bad sh

Your second link doesn't show the total number of US air travelers, only passengers on US airlines. There are also non-US airlines serving the US. I'm not saying that this makes a very big difference, but it probably brings down the cost pe

Hmmm? With a unemployment rate at ~8% why would you factor that in?

If it was $4.95 I might have ordered it as a Christmas gift. But $495 is slightly too much...

OK, yes, but these other red flags weren't included in your blog post, so for the reader it's hard to understand what they actually were.

He doesn't request a "pony from apple now" but a working phone. If you don't see the difference here, then sorry, but I don't understand your point.

What's left in most companies is usually some title including "Principal" or "Staff". So Senior clearly isn't the end of the ladder.

That's not true, in 2012 The Audi A7 was their car of the year. So that shows that they're not just always picking an electric car no matter what. The original article also mentions that the Fisker Karma won their "Design of the Year" awar

Tried the same thing: Searched for Skype, there's a big "Downloads" link at the top, clicked on it and got the following 2 results: LifeCam HD-3000 Microsoft Lync Server 2010 Resource Kit Yeah, not really what I was looking for...

Maybe you're lucky then. I have a similar issue as OP: I have a new dryer from LG that was rated very high by consumer reports but even at the "optimum dry" setting the clothes still stay wet and I often have to start a second drying cycle

I think this is a valid complaint, but it's nothing new. Same thing happened to me when I tried to buy Tickets for the NFL. They also only accepted Visa at that time (not sure if it changed since then). I wasn't able to buy Tickets online b

That helps, but doesn't completely solve the problem. This is actually done by many companies in Germany that I know of. However, if you set the X% relatively high (e.g. 40%) then you still have the problem that the whole department might n

I'm a German citizen living in the United States (SF Bay Area) since 5 years now and I think your post is completely overstating Germany. Better education - Kind of, although most of the top universities are still in the US. Better attitude
