Google will roll up their sleeves and get the IOT guillotine ready, happily running all their american leftie-progressive marketing back home while they do so. Why not? Apple did it!


As propaganda ages and stops being an effective meme-weapon, the propaganda fades and the art shined through. Old, obsolete ads for dead products that you look up out of curiosity are mostly harmless.

Still doesn't mean I'm not installing and updating my adblocker!


It's been a pejorative since nietzsche!


The acid's definitely right- 'formic' comes from fourmis, the french word for ant!

A man doing that won't get you fired and tarred. The downside risk is too great.
