    “this is a company for grown ups.”

    That’s too bad. I was thinking of getting their phone when I needed a new one, I guess I’ll just add them to my mental list of companies to avoid.

        Right? Imagine thinking that working in a cubicle is something to aspire to as a “grown up.” Fuck that. I’ll continue working from home, like an adult, thanks.

          It’s still unbelievable considering Twitter had made its way into other languages’ lexicon other than English. In Spanish, for example, the word “tuit” had been added officially in the dictionary. It had no competitors in brand awareness and all it took was a manchild with money to burn to take it all down.

      Clearly it’s not a company for grown ups because you think they’re all children that won’t play together unless you cram them into a classroom and tell them, “Make nice.”

        Right? Grown ups can be trusted to get their work done without someone watching them all the time. It’s small children who need constant supervision.

        Teenage Engineering is a hardware design firm that Nothing contracts with for hardware design. They aren’t a division of Nothing and they don’t work on just earbuds.

      “this is a company for grown ups.”

      When I became a man I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up. – C.S. Lewis

      Don’t I have one and it’s the only Android device I’ve owned that crashes and reboots almost daily. I can’t recall any other device ever doing it actually.

      This company’s all about the next gimmick and couldn’t care less about actually making decent phones.
