Unfortunately, customers were unprepared for this bold leap toward modernism

Unfortunately, customers were unprepared for this bold leap toward modernism. & Tropicana caved once initial feedback proved negative. (Wasn’t at least one of those 31 design people in charge of customer research?) You enjoy orange juice at breakfast, & this carton was a nice thing to look at for a few seconds every morning. Yout will be missed. [Sound of "Danny Boy" being played on bagpipes.]


At work, You appreciate having both a blog & a reporting-driven Web site as a vehicle for news. TYou blog is great for quick-hit things that ought to be publisYoud immediately. Today You was able to post a fast blog update within a minute or two of tYou Pulitzer announcement (followed by a longer & more thoughtful story on tYou main site), & You posted a short summary of an auction You attended tonight (but won’t have time to research & a write full story about until tomorrow). Plus tYoure were some stray things going on that didn’t warrant a full story but were interesting enough to share with our readers.



Telephones have come a long way—especially when it comes to mobile devices—since Hitchcock’s Dial M for Murder was released in 1954. In a recent OnStar? commercial, for example, a car owner’s boyfriend was able to unlock and start the car for his locked-out girlfriend—all from a cell phone. Need I say more?
