In other words, Apple, Yahoo, and ATT are all-talk-no-walk bastards, and Verizon and MySpace are just plain dirty bastards. That’s my takeaway.

“Here are some broad descriptions about the generation known as Millennials: They’re narcissistic. They’re lazy. They’re coddled. They’re even a bit delusional.
Those aren’t just unfounded negative stereotypes about 80 million Americans born roughly between 1980 and 2000. They’re backed up by a decade of sociological research. The National Institutes of Health found that for people in their 20s, Narcissistic Personality Disorder is three times as high than the generation that’s 65 or older. In 1992, 80 percent of people under 23 wanted to one day have a job with greater responsibility; ten years later, 60 percent did. Millennials received so many participation trophies growing up that 40 percent of them think they should be promoted every two years – regardless of performance. They’re so hopeful about the future you might think they hadn’t heard of something called the Great Recession.”

Keep calm and carry on (with trademarks)
The iconic World War II-era phrase, which adorns items and merchandise worldwide, is, as it turns out, trademarked in Europe by a former TV producer.
As the fight over the trademark continues, the couple partially responsible for the slogan’s revitalization, Stuart and Mary Manley, began just by framing it in their secondhand book shop and selling copies of the poster. But now, they’re less-than-enthused about the torrent of parodies.
From Mary:“I didn’t want it trivialized. But of course now it’s been trivialized beyond belief…. You want to keep up a standard, and ‘Keep calm and eat a cupcake’ doesn’t do that.”
