legit

baghead 4 life

lost it at the PR with a code of conduct

i liked the (accurate) detail of it blowing a gale outside alcatraz for the hawaii party

making alcatraz not look like a jail, combined with going insolvent, a++

All the alcatraz stuff was v accurate

Massive blooper in the episode was that using space characters doesn't mean you keep whacking the space bar over and over. You set up your editor/IDE so that the tab key produces 4 spaces. Total credibility fail.

uh yeah but if you were trying to clown someone who hates spaces you would do exactly that

She wasn't intentionally clowning him at first though? Maybe I missed something.

have we officially hit the point where we've realized he's the younger version of the hooli ceo

this episode was bighead's time to shine

Zach Woods is incredible. "Can't you see... You're each other's best friends."

the conversation between erlich, bighead, and the DA was #death

Jared w the chicken stats

I just watched all of this in about a week. Jared is one of the best sitcom characters of the decade.

I know exactly where it is. It's. In. The. Bay.

some mathcore nerd mc needs to sample that pronto

"It's a war of all against all"

Yes. The egg hatching line. All time.

gosh that was a fairly rushed episode, huh? from "no, we can't test the beta yet!" to "okay here we are, launching"

jian yang crank calling bachmann

this is your mother... you are not my baby

^^^ all-time top 10 moments of SV imo

Middleditch was at the Cinespia showing of Mean Girls (at the Hollywood Forever cemetery in LA).

There's another pic of him making the same hand sign.

amazing

i can't imagine why monica had a problem with the interface

i guess the idea is that they only sent it out to techie nerd friends and she's not that - so it could be that the appeal for the general pop is going to be limited?

well yeah! I mean look at that fuckin' thing!

yeah that is clearly not a non-geek tool

An online compression platform doesn't sound like it would be a consumer-facing product anyway. UI seems fine for what it is...

btw any SV fans who don't regularly listen to CBB - middleditch did an imo v funny ep w/ laura lapkis last year called 'kid detectives' def worth checking out http://www.earwolf.com/episode/kid-detectives/ -- there's a part 2 that isn't as good

Pied Piper sounds like the kind of thing you sell to a Dropbox or YouTube. I guess consumer-facing in that they could combine those services plus Flickr with lower overhead?

if i could mail you a full length film and you were able to receive and open and play it immediately, would you pay $5 a month for that? I would.

but i presume the sales are intended toward small businesses so that you can share multi-gig files instantaneously.

this is supposed to be some thing for zillions of ppl to just share files with friends and not think about it, that is the worst possible interface and only tech nerdos would be "hmm yes good default interface"

this thing is going to bomb hard

like they're not even aiming at small biz now, they're like "it's for EVERYONE" what a clusterfuck in the making

jian yang is the best

^^^

it's gonna turn out they need those marketing guys after all

well, people who are used to developing products for a target market, not necessarily the marketing weirdos they had

I <3 Jared

get in line

Pied Piper UI is straight out of the nerd-supplied non-UIs for things like ffmpeg and Handbrake. User forums filled with "I don't understand any of these settings - I just want to watch this pirated movie on my phone" posts

yeah, that's undoubtedly where we're headed next ep. My guess would be we see the return of Dang in a much larger role.

middleditch did an imo v funny ep w/ laura lapkis

Lauren Lapkus

sry; thk u
