#42That page has a white "loading" overlay that I had to "display:none;" to see the content. I really hope people stop using them soon.
your probably using adblocker or ghostery. they dont show you the content unless you disable them. Scummy.
Might be accidental, can be a real pain if you develop media tech (and don't personally run adblock yourself).

#43This sounds absolutely terrible. Hopefully they've made significant changes, but the stuff included in the OP's link fits with the story beats mentioned in my link below. From a review submitted to AICN: "If this script is unchanged as HBO begins production, it will be one of the worst pilots HBO has ever aired. The draft I read is dated mid October, so God willing Mike Judge (and other writers John Altschuler & Dave…
Who is "Nolan Night"? Is he qualified to review a script? Reading a script is hard. A lot of fantastic movies have screenplays that sound terrible if you don't have an ear for it (and I don't, that's how I know I'm right).

#46A few days ago someone linked to a test for media, where you had to see if two women have a conversation that isn't about men. I don't know why, but it really stuck with me, and then I was really disappointed when the two female characters in this script turned out to be gold diggers.
I'm not trying to argue there should be more women in this show. I'm mostly just complaining about whoever planted this idea in my head. It may be good, but it's kind of ruining my enjoyment of pop culture

#48Holy crap, the overdone continuous scrolling and animation makes that page almost useless. Scroll a little bit, and suddenly I'm jumped to a different part of the page. Don't scroll too far up, or it loads the previous article right in place, and doesn't keep you where you were. Then the top-bar seems to come down at random. What a frustrating example of overdoing an attempt at a "rich experience" thus hindering the…

#49From the article: TANDY: This is it? This is where all the tech billionaires decided to live? LANGDON: It can't be. (stops a passerby) Excuse me, is this Palo Alto? Hilarious :)
Unless they were standing outside a whole foods or so, I don't buy the existence of "passerby"
Well downtown palo alto has passerbys.
