ate all the Oreos posted:[...] a windows store that's trying adorably hard to be an apple store There’s an Apple Store in a mall near me. I went to pick up an iPad, and directly across from it was a Samsung store. It’s an outdoor mall, and this was a freestanding store (not in the main structure like the Apple Store was). All glass walls and ceiling. There were *maybe* 15 people in this fairly large (1,200 sq ft or so) store, and directly across is the Apple Store with about 100+ customers.

death of retail: barnes and noble editionquote:On Monday the company laid off 1,800 people. This offered a cost savings of $40 million. But that’s particularly interesting. That means each of those people made an average of $22,000 or so per year and minimum wage workers – hourly folks who are usually hit hardest during post-holiday downturns – would be making $15,000. In fact, what B&N did was fire all full time employees at 781 stores.  b&nyoud think as the last big national chain standing (after borders collapsed) theyd have the space to stay afloat but lovely management gotta manage shittily i guess

samsung has a huge chip on their shoulder about Apple is still extremely thirsty for an equally-relevant Retail Experience and also love trying to buy cool and dumped a ton of money into an Experience Store in the meatpacking district. they had an 'art exhibit' where a quarter-round mirrored tunnel which vaguely smells like puke is filled with LCDs that blasts photos and yells text from your instagram at you, so it just screamed CRUSTIES at me while I stumbled for the exit. There's their Oh, and you can't actually buy anything there because that would anger their other Sales Partners. They coned-off like half a block in midtown to set up a 'mobile service center' during one of the coldest weeks of the year and I saw nobody there, ever.

https://techcrunch.com/2018/02/20/nuance-ends-development-of-the-swype-keyboard-apps/quote:The party is over for third party keyboards. But hey, it was fun while it lasted. Nuance, the company that acquired veteran swipe-to-type keyboard maker Swype — all the way back in 2011, shelling out a cool $100M — has ended development of its Swype+Dragon dictation Android and iOS apps. nothing like getting gamebreaking news from an official release channel quote:As Xda points out, Nuance has been concentrating on its b2b business using its speech recognition tech to enable speech to text utility — such as a dedicated version of its dictation product which is targeted at healthcare workers. that would be fantastic news but talking to your phone makes you look like an even bigger tool than usual, and "you can talk to your phone instead" isn't an alternative to having a usable keyboard on a handheld computer what is wrong with people anroid lol
