Our news feeds are filled with bite-sized, sharp-tongued criticism and callous call-outs from various politicians, CEOs and even our closest friends. Not to mention more than a few brands. All of whom could benefit from heeding some of this “ancient” wisdom. But can we really blame them? Is it only the messengers and the messages that have changed, or is the medium also responsible? While so much of the current cultural cannon focuses on the new communication opportunities arising out of the digital transformation, there’s a gap in the conversation....

It does, however, have a quiet, cool running green hard drive with a fan-less enclosure....

While appearing in a video for Vanity Fair’s “Notes On A Scene” series, Knives Out director Rian Johnson shared a detail about Apple’s product placement demands.

As Rocky Balboa’s manager for the first three Rocky films, Mickey Goldmill played a huge part in the success of Rocky’s fighting career. While initially hesitant about his attitude towards the sport, Mickey always knew that Rocky had the fighting ability to make it to the top.
