"We've revamped the product so you can see the true magnesium of the product coming out."
 Does that mean they've left a hole in it?

"I'll tell you how it's more sexier, because it is."
Arggh. It's sexier, not more sexier you buffoon. Don't dilute your message into making me want to take one of those lovely new magnesium showing devices and ram it down your throat while repeatedly kicking you. Oh, and please don't use circular reasoning to try and sell this to me - that's not going to work.

No, but saying "Look, shiny!" is a sure fire winner.

I'm not impressed, the hardware changes are good and there is improvement, but WinRT is still there... :/

So, it's $449 for the Surface 2 - is that with, or without, the keyboard? If it's without the keyboard, then that puts it almost back at the original Surface pricing. Have they learned nothing?

At least Balmer smiled, if not incessantly..
Oh look! The stock price is almost back up to it's pre-launch (an hour ago) levels.

I watched a documentary about this job - it was really difficult, the clocks aren't all just sitting on mantelpieces, some are up towers and in walls of buildings and very dangerous to get to some of them. There's a lot more to it than you might think. The salary is quite justified in my opinion.

The salary might be justified but the job itself isn't

why not?
There must be a lot of antique clocks that need to be maintained; Me think it is not only a job to set the clock to the proper time, but to maintain and conserve them.
I'd rather be phishing!

I don't think there must be thousands of clocks be running at the same time while nobody even needs them. Sure, there are probably a few dozen clocks which are used. But is there a need to run thousands?
Maintain and conserve does not necessarily involve "keep them running all the time and keep them accurate".
