In today’s world, there are dozens upon dozens of web browsers out there, especially if you factor in browser apps for Android, iOS, and Windows Phone. When looking at just desktop browsers, most of these dozens tend to be f...
Life, often sometimes, is not fair. When it comes to hair (hair on head, not body hair), the scale is clearly tilted in the favor of women. This favoritism (damn you, Darwin) is most obvious in old(er) age. As men get older, most ...
You know one of my pet peeves? Hypocrisy. I cannot stand people who say one thing to you then, behind your back, go do the same damn thing they told you not to do. It annoys the crap out of me. You know another thing I hate? Peopl...
Companies, specifically tech companies, may not be people in and of themselves but they do have characteristics (or personalities, if you will). Because of these characteristics, it is often enticing to compare the companies to ot...
