  - [deleted] 3

  - I've only subscribed for the last 2 of their 163 years, but I'm still a little sad. -- nm - psilotum Jan 14, 14:11 1
    - yeah, it's a drag. print media is a mess, most ad spending is down like 20-30% for print....nm - x Jan 14, 14:13
- And the LA Times is now making enough money off its online ads to pay for its newsroom. -- (link) - Mop Jan 14, 14:07

        Though the mormon part is probably more targeted at the drunk part as they don't drink. (Heck, they don't even do caffeine). -- nm - Ender Jan 14, 13:54 5
        
        yes, the logic was: fake mexican + fake drunk + fake gay = mormon (non-mexican) man. I just picked black, because it seemed funnier. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 14, 13:54 4
        
        how about Straight Mormon Canadian man? -- nm - loosilu Jan 14, 13:56 3

Apple says CEO Steve Jobs to take medical leave until end of June. Jobs: Health issues 'more complex than I originally thought.' -- nm - ty97 Jan 14, 13:44 32
- I think their stock is going to get very oversold over this - Stewie Jan 14, 13:57
- i hope he makes it, but it really puts the lie to that happy horseshit they tried to sell before ces....nm - x Jan 14, 13:46 25
  - Unless it was unintentional, and the doctors were just mistaken. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 14, 13:50 5
    - with the doctors he can afford? I doubt they make mistakes - Epiphany Jan 14, 13:51 4
      - Yep, they do. -- nm - Tom Brady Jan 14, 13:55
      - even House makes mistakes. -- nm - loosilu Jan 14, 13:53 1
        
        *especially* house makes mistakes. Almost makes me want an episode with a string of bang-on diagnoses. - Beryllium Jan 14, 14:01
      - I still think it's lupus. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 14, 13:52
  - *cranky meter goes to 11, head explodes* -- nm - Mop Jan 14, 13:48 4
    - The above line was self-descriptive. I was not projecting on someone else. -- nm - Mop Jan 14, 13:51
    - you have no right to pick on hyde for crank after your below-linked post. -- nm - martin luther king jr loves mandy lane Jan 14, 13:49 2
      - I'm not cranking on hyde. That was not my intention. -- nm - Mop Jan 14, 13:50 1
        
        oh, it's cool. didn't take it like that, i'm really not being cranky about it. i just think it seems pretty clear it was a corporate smokescreen....nm - x Jan 14, 13:52
  - I don't think any of us really believed the lies about his health. - ty97 Jan 14, 13:46 13
    - agreed, but in this case it's easy to figure out why. -- nm - loosilu Jan 14, 13:47 12
      - i'm not sure what good it did them really....nm - x Jan 14, 13:50 8
        
        Apple's good at hyping things. I think they were trying to reverse that, to avoid a huge selloff. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 14, 13:51 7
        
        their stock ran down to the mid 80's on the rumors, they laid out some marketspeak and it recovered to 94 or so and has now fallen back... - x Jan 14, 13:54 6
        
        insider trading? I dunno. Maybe without the spin, it would be in the 60s. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 14, 13:57 5
        
        that's silly. without the spin the markets would have had the proper information to price the stock accordingly.... - x Jan 14, 14:03 4
        
        Well, hopefully I'm not being offensive here (because I know your market prowess is superior to mine), but I think this isn't accurate. - Beryllium Jan 14, 14:07 1
        
        i don't see it, honestly. but i'm certainly not any expert...nm - x Jan 14, 14:09
        
        silly you have to give all the executives time to exercise their stock options before the news breaks. -- nm - znufrii Jan 14, 14:04 1
        
        hey, speaking of stocks, how's c looking this week?....nm - x Jan 14, 14:07
      - not really. Truth will come out. -- nm - ty97 Jan 14, 13:48 2

  - me too. - ty97 Jan 14, 13:45 2
    - His Legacy whether alive or not alive is - amazing. -- nm - Epiphany Jan 14, 13:50 1

  - Such is life with temp agencies. -- nm - con_carne Jan 14, 13:52
- I'm figuring I'm either going to get paid twice, or I'm going to get f*cked. -- nm - JaxSean Jan 14, 13:43 4
  - LIR: I don't understand how it's cheaper for you to be with another agency? Doesn't Chase pay your agency? -- nm - con_carne Jan 14, 13:47 1
    - Oh, it just occured to me that Chase would have to pay your agency to get you onto their payroll. Per typical staffing services -- nm - con_carne Jan 14, 13:48
  - [deleted] 1
    - paid three times! - oblique Jan 14, 13:46
- Definitely sucks. Sorry to hear it. -- nm - emoticripple Jan 14, 13:43
Went down to my wife's studio to tell her about Motalban. She was having trouble finishing an 8 second liner - TWuG Jan 14, 13:41 4
- Did you give her a chair upholstered with rich Corinthian leather? -- nm - loosilu Jan 14, 13:44 1
  - No, but I waxed my chest and tore open my shirt and told her she tasks me. -- nm - TWuG Jan 14, 13:45
- ... she does radio voice work, right? -- nm - Beryllium Jan 14, 13:42 1
  - Yep. Also does Message On Hold (think phone tree) stuff. Narration. Every thing except character voices. -- nm - TWuG Jan 14, 13:43
