Richter7 Weekly Retro

2010 No Pants Policy

To beat the heat yet again this year, Richter7 decided to continue its now three-year tradition of the No Pants Policy. Not only will violators be fined a quarter for each offense by the “knickerbocker police,” we will also be donating pants to the needy.  “This is a huge morale boost for everybody,” said Tim Brown, Richter7 partner in charge of morale boosting. “Our success in battling the heat seems to spill over into tackling tough client projects. And putting our pants to good use by donating them to our community encourages us to look for creative opportunities and continually make a difference.”

Apple offer free cases to iPhone 4 buyers

Apple held a press conference today to announce how to fix the Apple iPhone 4 “death grip” issue. They have decided to offer free cases to each iPhone 4 owner who wants one. What a downer. Also, those who already purchased the $29 case will be eligible for a refund.

Facebook will remove profile boxes, permanently

Facebook has plans to permanently remove application-generated profile boxes in the near future. On Monday, July 12, Facebook removed them without warning, and then brought them back the next day. They are doomed to be removed again soon. Many users rely on profile boxes to display games and other activities on their page. Why is Facebook having a hard time getting things right when they normally get so many things right?
