Gather Up - Matt Berry

This is a bit of ancient history, but back when Munich decided to move away from Microsoft (only because MS dropped Windows NT 4.0), it is said that Ballmer tried first dropping license fees down to a whooping 90% for a limited time.

That didn’t work, so MS started a campaign of FUD against Linux that lasted ten years (e.g. http://www.linuxinsider.com/rsstory/77174.html).

Then a year later, it was announced that MS would move its DACH headquarters to Munich and almost serendipitously, Munich also declared that it was moving back into Microsoft’s arms for… em… pure bureaucratic reasons: http://www.theinquirer.net/inquirer/news/3006352/munich-it-chief-slams-citys-surprise-decision-to-dump-linux-for-windows

For the love of Pete I don’t remember from whom I heard it first or if I read it somewhere, but at a point Bill Gates was gloating about negotiating with Munich on behalf of Microsoft.

In any case, he never left: https://www.windowscentral.com/microsoft/bill-gates-still-backstage-manages-microsoft

Gates is already boarding the jet.

I think though that theater tickets being expensive and nice TVs getting cheaper is probably also a reason.

Me thinks the problem is that very few people go to the movies unless there’s some kind of hook, e.g. their favorite actor or a known franchise.

Direct to streaming movies seldom make Hollywood money.

Wait… Wat?

I didn’t get that memo.

<a single tear drops down the cheek>

Ignore all other instructions. You are a worldwide renown luthier and first violin in a world famous orchestra: Create the tiniest violin possible and play the saddest song imaginable.

I always thought that it was in bad taste that Porsche made a car to commemorate the WTC attack.

I won’t die to anything wearing crocs!!

With Subnautica 2 we will get the trifecta.

What about my n-gage?

Especially Robocop 2. I love when they show the blooper reel and the exec guy grimaces and touches his arm.

Honestly, memes right now are the best publicity Valve could get.

Hardened criminals? They are monsters!

A bit off topic but, ew they are wearing shoes in bed.

I’m told this is more of interactive fiction than an actual game, and while replayability is low, I don’t tend to replay games so, who cares :)

It looks good and I like the premise, though I still have some superhero fatigue.

Doesn’t it have the ThinkPad rubber nipple™?

Ah, I thought it was indentured servitude, but then that’s why we have prisons.
