Phoenix666 writes in with a story from Ars Technica:

A report from Business Insider claims that Google has axed "dozens" of employees from its laptop and tablet division. BI's sources describe the move as causing "roadmap cutbacks" and that Google will likely "pare down the portfolio" in the future.

[...] Google's Hardware division is run by Rick Osterloh and is expected to launch a game streaming console later this month. The division is responsible for the Pixel phones, Google Home speakers, the Chromecast, Google Wi-Fi, and lately, the Nest smart home division.

Why is Google having a hard time cracking the hardware market?

    In the specific case of soggy jobs, I am _uncorruptible_

    Is that a typo or do you have a meaning for that word that sets it apart from the usual incorruptible?

    ...in that there is no amount of money - not even one billion - that could possibly convince me to favor any one company over the others.

    Ummm... really? How about some modicum amount of $$$$$ pussy [soylentnews.org]?

    Despite my great passion for writing, I do have an odd problem with spelling:

    It's easy for me to become completely convinced that an incorrect spelling is actually the correct one, thereby leading to for example my K5 and Reddit nick of "RepeatibleHairstyle".
