I would argue that, for Intel, the phrase "returning to form" does not indicate a move in a positive direction.

I agree with this - and it definitely can be a problem.

I do the vast majority of our shopping. For me, the issue is kind of the opposite of the OP's... I'm trying to buy non-dairy stuff for my wife, but the products frequently obfuscate what exactly they are!

THIS SHALL NOT STAND!

My wife has various issues with most dairy (except for some cheeses) - so she only eats non-dairy fake yogurt and uses oat "milk" on her cereal. She prefers the coconut-based yogurt substitutes though, as opposed to cashew, almond, or soy based versions.

You can't claim to be amazed by something that isn't surprising.

In its announcement, Qualcomm said that Arduino would "[retain] its brand and mission," including its "open source ethos" and "support for multiple silicon vendors."

We hear this sort of pablum all the bloody time... pretty much with *every* acquisition or merger.

- "We see $COMPANY's culture as an important strength and have no desire to change it"
- "We want to assure its customers that $COMPANY will continue to be managed independently"

Yeah, at first glance I'd suspect this is/was intended for one of their "fan" events, like WWDC.

My dad called his car "Bessie".

Problem is, he called every car we owned "Bessie"... even when we owned two cars.

A relatively dangerous job with terrible hours... it sounds like a job that deserves decent compensation.

I'm wondering if there's a Kindle version available, so I can read it a little at a time.

Hahaha it's great to see that some writers haven't lost their sense of humor!

It's the only way to be sure.
