Bad Ass Shirts For The Holidays!

Published 5 years ago in Apparel , China , Hack , Uncategorized

It's That Time of Year!

The Tech Fugitives only wear cool shirts (this is actually a new thing for Mark). Because we care about you and want you to be cool as well, we've created branded shirts for you to purchase for yourself, friends and family! Christmas is here and to create some cheer, let you're support show and allow the coolness to flow (sorry, I'm listening to rap right now).

Option 1 - Show Love

This is our classic Tech Fugitives Logo. Simple, clean, and maximum swagger. This uses custom thread synthesized by squeezing swag out of some of the coolest people in the world! It's a complicated process that's too hard to explain.

Option 2 - Take a Stance!

Our listeners know that we're not a fan of China stealing IP and that we like video games, so we created this as an homage to the awesomeness that is the famous Zero Wing meme mashed up with Xi Jinping playing the bad guy CATS.

As smartphones like those made by Apple and Google increasingly move toward biometric access, younger users lean on the convenience of a single tap or look, over traditional passcodes.
And with the option to store multiple fingerprints or facial appearances, couples are lending a finger for easing unlocking of their significant other’s device.
Experts caution the practice is risky.

https://www.theregister.co.uk/2018/10/30/apple_launch_kill_laptop/

It’s so good that you just don’t need that musty old laptop. And here’s Apple CEO Tim Cook to make it real clear. Here’s a chart showing the past four quarters – and there’s the iPad alongside… other companies’ notebooks: Dell, HP, Lenovo.

“What you might not know is we’ve sold more iPads in the last year than the entire notebook lineup of all of the biggest notebook manufacturers,” he said. The Macs were also in the list – down there in the middle of the chart.

Half of the 90-minute launch was dedicated to the iPad Pro – with every effort made to point out that it is just as good, if not better, than a laptop.

This is the latest in a string of employee activism events at Google.
