@outcoxed @counternotions The acquisition happened in 2004. Cingular rebranded as AT&T in 2007. So they're one in the same…@outcoxed @counternotions That's just branding…@counternotions AT&T could…Otellini's folly. http://t.co/yk9YwYtuvh
@bobegan @treestman OK. So how often do the employees keep the Surface Pros after the 2 week trial?@dnanian @siegel I admire your diplomacy. Nissan is clearly not playing it safe with designs like the Micra, Cube, and Leaf.@dnanian No, man. Camrys and Civics are practical (aka "unnoticeably bland"). The Nissan Leaf looks like bug-eyed clog with wheels. Ugh.@treestman @bobegan Yep, I have an rMBP. I think I'll wait for an rMBA…@bobegan @treestman Say "no" to the Surface Pro!@dnanian It's so terrible in every dimension that you have to wonder if it's a plot to destroy the future of EVs.The design of the Nissan Leaf is an affront to the senses.@bobegan @treestman Nope. Doesn't meet my use case, yet.Just tell me if Yahoo buys Tumblr for $1 billion, it's not going to turn into Yahoo buys GeoCities: The Sequel http://t.co/4OkInXXaVR
