Now, I’m wondering… did they sneak these iPads out under their shirts… what? If each iPad is $700 (not an unreasonable number), that means that they stole ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTY iPADS. That sort of merchandise doesn’t JUST go missing. I smell an inside job.

As he’s a single vegetarian with no children, he needed to go with something that made the best use of whatever little space was available.

(Quite economic, considering that there’s a palatial 90-square-foot apartment for about $1000/month.) According to Neatorama, Tyler has every luxury: “a Murphy bed (that he made himself), a couch, a microwave, a refrigerator, and a closet.” He shares a…Read more
