Willingham Sends Fables Into the Public Domain

Since I can’t afford to sue DC (Comics), to force them to live up to the letter and the spirit of our long-time agreements; since even winning such a suit would take ridiculous amounts of money out of my pocket and years out of my life (I’m 67 years old, and don’t have the years to spare), I’ve decided to take a different approach, and fight them in a different arena, inspired by the principles of asymmetric warfare. The one thing in our contract the DC lawyers can’t contest, or reinterpret to their own benefit, is that I am the sole owner of the intellectual property. I can sell it or give it away to whomever I want.

The Pixel Tablet is actually just a few spare parts in a half-empty body | Ars Technica

The interior photos of this tablet are stunning. It's half empty. Usually high-end devices, and even low-end devices, all feature components that fit together like perfect puzzle pieces, maximizing the interior space and striving to not leave a single square millimeter of air. The Pixel tablet interior just looks like a box of spare parts, with miles of space in between each component. All of the white background visible in the interior photos are the back of the body. It's just plastic. It's nothing.
