"Samsung mocks Apple’s crushing iPad Pro ad with its own ‘UnCrush’ pitch"
Watch the ad. Clever? Easy pickings to mock your rivals mistake?
Me? I thought it was meh. Samsung has done way better, like that ad where someone got a "notch" haircut when iPhone came out with the notch. That one was wicked.
Apple pulls the controversial "Crush" ad and apologizes.
"The ad, posted on social media Tuesday by Apple CEO Tim Cook, was met with backlash from internet users who felt that the ad celebrated technology’s destruction of human creativity and art."
It is quite literally impossible to choose one KPop track that makes me want to dance. So here's three that made me dance (while cleaning) today. Thank goodness no one was watching except the cat! 🙈 :blobcatgiggle:
"The Romans conquered the world through seriousness, discipline, organisation, continuity of vision and method; through the conviction that they were a superior race, born to command; through the well-considered, methodically calculated use of the most ruthless cruelty, cold perfidy and the most hypocritical propaganda, employed simultaneously or in turn; by an unshakeable resolution to always sacrifice everything to prestige, without ever being sensitive either to peril, or to pity, or to any human respect; by the art of decomposing under terror the very soul of their adversaries, or of putting them to sleep with hope, before enslaving them with arms; finally by such skilful handling of the crudest lie that they have deceived even posterity and are still deceiving us. "

"Life expectancy at birth in Roman Egypt was just 27.3 for women and 26.2 for men."
"As the empire expanded, the Romans took the show—including all their diseases—on the road. In every location, “The empire’s arrival led to the hasty construction of the first town, in Roman style, with baths and aqueducts, drains, heating systems, and latrines. Despite the amenities, a reasonable answer to the question ‘What have the Romans ever done for us?’ might have been ‘Got us sick.’ Mortality rates went up.”
#Trump believes his authority in a second-term would be absolute. He would wreak #vengeance against enemies. He would #crush press freedoms. He would #gut the mechanisms of government. None of this is speculation. These are things Trump is exclaiming openly, proudly — @rbreich#quote#quotes
¡Que comience el desmadre! Este es el inicio de mi hilo sobre #EVA y mi lectura de los Evangelios. Ya se verá cómo está conectada una cosa con la otra. #Evangelion es una #serie que me ha acompañado por décadas y la he visto muchas veces: me estoy preparando para verla una vez más. Este hilo se alimentará durante días o tal vez semanas.
La primera cosa es el nombre que comparten el conjunto de obras, y para entender un poco más su etimología… ¡con ustedes!… ¡El #DRAE!
La primera conjugación de números es entre ellos dos. Las motivaciones de Shinji siempre son otros, por ejemplo el cabrón de su papá. Y cuando conoce a Rei quiere protegerla porque #crush instantáneo. 💙
Su relación es primigenia, como la de Adán y Eva: son numéricamente consecuentes. Ambos están unidos a las Unidades EVA y a Gendo, pero por caminos diferentes. Son como el código binario: 00 · 01 🤯 Sin embargo, parecen diverger en algo: Ella es primera y él, tercero. Ahí participa Azuka. 🔴
