Given the headlines of recent weeks, it’s a bit surprising that more people aren’t gathering mob-like at the front of their local supermarkets, pitchforks in hand, demanding that all of the cantaloupes barricaded within be immediately and summarily dispatched. Between late August and early October 2011, at-least 21 deaths have been directly tied to […]

Steve Jobs | 1955-2011 | Command + Option + esc
