at least the alphabet is right :) the rest looks pretty believable though, makes me wonder what that text is supposed to represent

As fantastic as this office is, I'd hate to work in a environment where anybody can freely look over my shoulder at any time. I'll take privacy and a dull office over this any time. We've managed to satisfy this concern (http://www.mojalbum.com/popcom/popcom-office) and I'm really happy about our office.

Who cares about privacy at work?

I highly doubt they have HR walking around trying to catch people viewing something inappropriate.

The images looked like they had been badly scaled with nearest neighbor in Chrome, so I reopened the page in Firefox, then looked at the original image.

Sure enough, when the photographer took the original image off their camera and scaled it down for the web, they used a low quality interpolation. For some reason. Damned unprofessional.

Pretty sure those are all acronyms.

Not a single one is real acronym. Looks more like "made-up lols".
