BIG HEADLINE posted:I still think that potato gun's going to spur the idea for some low-cost micro-satellite launching system. The Hooli Spudalite System, and they'll be forced to pay Bighead royalties. Especially when it looked like Bighead was going to replace Gavin as CEO, I thought he was going to salvage his co-director's project (the bionic monkey prosthetic) to give actual legs to his moonshot proposal of the brain computer interface for Nucleus and be trumpeted as a true genius to Gavin's fuming consternation.

Have you guys seen the video for Rick Astley's "Never Gonna Give You Up?" You should check it out. It's pretty cool.

The real life Omar actually survived a jump from the 6th floor, not the 4th, but the writers thought it would seem too unrealistic to the audience

MiddleOne posted:What is this ceo on rollerblades thing everyone keeps referring to? They met with a Google techie who runs the GoogleX group and he wore rollerblades while talking to them. He also fell over when trying to badge out of the meeting area . also TJ Miller negged Elon Musk after the screening quote:Some Valley big shots have no idea how to react to the show,” Miller told me. “They can’t decide whether to be offended or flattered. And they’re mystified by the fact that actors have a kind of celebrity that they will never have—there’s no rhyme or reason to it, but that’s the way it is, and it kills them.” Miller met Musk at the after-party in Redwood City. “I think he was thrown by the fact that I wasn’t being sycophantic—which I couldn’t be, because I didn’t realize who he was at the time. etalian fucked around with this message at 02:28 on Jun 18, 2016 |

If you actually search eric blachman in google you get the article from the show. http://www.coderag.com/is-erlich-bachman-the-dumbest-man-in-tech/ The comments are the best part.

It's a real comment section anyone can post to. I'm surprised HBO is okay with that.

Swastikas ruining CodeRag's comments section would be a funny subplot on the show, doubt they'd care. It's just an easter egg for fans.

Can someone remind me (not of the new yorker article but) what the Blachman/Bachman joke was? I do not remember it at all and so that is flying right over my head.

Erlich is such a Z-lister than they misspelled his name in the White Pages because no one cares about him despite his perception that he is the next Steve Jobs.

Bill Hader was listed as a guest star in the credits but I don't recall seeing him. I'm assuming he was the voice of Pipey?
