Many companies send out press releases to report everything, like Bernie moving from shipping to accounting. I will do the same today. Fairway, the wold's famous Giz Wiz Biz LLC mascot has moved on. After two hours on a warm kitchen floor, she has decided to move on to the tiled bathroom floor. "My duties remain the same" said Fairway "but I needed a change and it's way cooler here".

Actually I think +Google just wanted to make the inevitable unboxing videos more entertaining.

Tricky Nexus 7 box is tricky. Maybe this is why +Phil Nickinson doesn't enjoy doing unboxings, scared he might face a box like this lol.

Victor Gruen's concept for the enclosed shopping mall is a prime example of unintended consequences and frankly not really thinking things through all that well. The era of the suburban mall helped make the exodus from our cities to the suburbs much more practical, thus hastening the decline of American urban centers. 

At least in some areas, the decline of the mall is running in parallel with a movement back to the cities although it's not necessarily a causal relationship. I for one won't be sorry to see the end of the mall as I knew them growing up, I've always hated them.
