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.

So Alamo Drafthouse is doing a pre-showing of the first two episodes of Season 4 with a Livestream afterwards this coming Tuesday night. I only found out by checking the calendar of my local one - it's $5 for admission, but that's reimbursed in the form of a food and beverage voucher. You might have to register for their "Victory" program to get access to it, but that's free.

Large corporations never have to pay out fines that big. They settle with the government for pennies (or often fractions thereof) on the dollar because the private sector has better lawyers and lobbyists.

Yeah, the ~wheels within wheels~ thing here is that at his core, Richard is just another Gavin Belson-to-be. Pretty sure this series is going to end with Jared smothering Richard to death with a pillow because he realizes his grand hope to hitch his wagon to a 'better and kinder' Silicon Valley demagogue just created another lovely emotionally-bankrupt one.

Jian Yang will develop a "Can I Uh Smoke Here" (the "Uh" is very important) app that uses your phone's GPS to determine if you're legally allowed to smoke in that specific place, and where the closest place you *are* allowed to smoke is and how to get to it. He'll be hailed as a visionary for keeping smokers away from Californians who want healthy lungs, and celebrated by smokers for keeping them away from complainers.

According to Mike Judge, evidently some of the songs that have been on the credits either were never released or are debuts of songs that aren't even fully finished yet, so the newer the episode, the harder it'd be to nail down a full list.

He made out with his dream Pacific outdoor hangout spot and a Corvette with minimal effort and he still complains. I hope Jared murders him someday. Evidently a souped-up, $150,000 Corvette, too. I'd imagine driving one of them in the Valley makes you worse than Hitler. Worse even than Russ, because at least his supercars announces he's 'tres comas' rich.

My honest guess is they're gonna find a way to end the season like every other season. With the guys clawing their way back up again. I called it earlier that Jared's either going to kill him or TRY to kill him after learning he's had a hand in turning another SV tech genius into a legendary rear end in a top hat.

I also love that Richard still hasn't learned from the focus group that he'll have a monumental task in convincing the world to let him use *their* smartphones to run *his* internet, likely by getting them to *voluntarily* download and install something that helps someone other than themselves. That black lady and the team will be the only ones using it because *she* gets it!

Could be worse - Gavin could've said something to the effect of "You've got a brilliant idea, but it seems like anyone who gets close to you suffers and fails, so I'm ~outta here~" and leave us with at least 2-3 episodes of neurotic ~hemming and hawing~ on his part until Erlich says something while high that snaps him out of it and WACKY HIJINKS ENSUE. The first two episodes had me hopeful they wouldn't just re-tread old plotlines, but yeah, this is feeling too familiar.
