Boeing Possibly About to Nail It

Boy that 787 Dreamliner debacle must have bummed a bunch of engineers out. I mean they make a hell of an airplane which first entered their minds in the 90s, it kicks ass across the board with its super efficiency, great operating cost efficacy, quiet, carbon-fiber-whatnot, the whole deal.

My old men fell under the impression last year that he’s not too old to start a new company and / or that retiring is for pussies.

It’s official: I hate the iPhone!

I’ve never been fan of Apple products. Yes, they are elegantly engineered and designed products.
