I know why they do it, but it's funny to think about working with your monitor angled nearly 90 degrees from where you're looking

Agile Vector posted:oh, maybe? it's been so long. I trained up on quark just in time for indesign to start to gain ground, so I tried to quickly dump as much of it out of my brain as possible and what's left is a mix of memories. he had more experience back in the aldus days, so i'm probably mixing them up more indesign gained ground because quark refused (or couldnt?) port xpress to osx. lol. it ended up destroying the company

FAT32 SHAMER posted:I forget what happened with Monster and Beats the patriarch who owns/runs monster was contacted by dre/iovine about working with them on a headphone product patriarch puts failson in charge of the negotiations (its time he learned the family business after all) failson goes down to los angeles and immediately gets sized up by dre and iovine as an easily-rolled rube dre and iovine proceed to dazzle him with meetings with famous musicians and celebrities and parties and booze (and, it has been strongly implied, drugs and sex) failson, with his head spinning, is too busy having a good time to pay close attention to the details of the deal he is negotiating. he has hit it off incredibly well with all these famous people, surely the deal his new best friends are mostly driving will be fine the deal he negotiates and signs ends up being ruinous to monster. unbreakable, have to produce an uncapped number of headsets at a loss, they dont own any of the technology they developed for the headphones, they cant even compete with them as soon as monster came into contact with the real sharks who run the music industry, they got effortlessly boned and filleted and devoured
