From another article:

In a statement, DirecTV chief executive Bill Morrow said a merger between the two companies “will be better able to work with programmers to realize our vision for the future of TV, which is to aggregate, curate, and distribute content tailored to customers’ interests, and to be better positioned to realize operating efficiencies while creating value for customers through additional investment.”

Corpo-speak 101: how to use a lot of words to say absolutely nothing.

I don’t want to have to drive from McDonalds, OH to Walmart, KY on the I-71 brought to you by Microsoft.

You should have taken the Apple iWay instead of Microsoft’s I-71. The ride is much smoother, as long as you accept you can only exit where Apple says you can. And have the “courage” to hold your pee since they removed all the rest stops on the way.

Seriously kids, don’t vote Republicans if you don’t want every mile of your trip privatized and monetized.

Hey, at least one Nazi did go to prison.

…of course, things went real bad for France not long after that.

Given that SCOTUS is focused on destroying the government one agency at a time, you’re likely to see them rule that the FTC is unconstitutional because it didn’t exist in the 1600s or some other equally-bullshit excuse.

You know how we know ground-up rhino horn doesn’t cure your dick problems? Because Pfizer or GlaxoSmithKline or Bayer aren’t spending billions on rhino sanctuaries.

¡Este comentario es una puta mierda!

Every engineer working on the project simultaneously groans in despair. The resulting low frequency wave shakes the foundations of Sagrada Família, setting the construction back another generation.

Are we sure the Sagrada Familia isn’t a source of perpetual energy?

What, never heard of powerline networking? 😂

So risk someone else beating you to market? And they’ll either have the resources to make it superior, therefore making yours irrelevant, or they’ll make it inferior, which generates bad press for you?

And 11% nationwide.

With numbers like Texas, I think we can safely assume that 11% number is being driven exclusively by red states.

It’s far more expensive to try to have two systems and possibly handle a CA resident incorrectly.

Apple: Hold my doesn’t-cure-cancer fruit smoothie!

Turns out, when people have information, they can make informed choices!

Probably why he’s been sucking up to Elon so hard recently. Hoping Elon will buy it out then continue to let Alex spout his bullshit.

I don’t think this is even about Trump. This is about state officials wanting to look “tOugh On crIME” for reelection.

I can’t believe you got such a simple saying wrong. It’s not rocket surgery.

That’s a pretty accurate summation of gaming in general in the 80s. The art in the book was nearly always better than the gameplay for lots of games.
