@SamsungSupport Why not make the details of the promotion available and publicly accessible online?

[Alan Blayney @BlayneyAJ]

@SamsungSupport Really excited about the new galaxy book pro, and the generous pre-order promotion! But what does 'eligible purchase' mean here? Is there a catch on how I can spend the credit?

[Alan Blayney @BlayneyAJ]

@Doulia_Hamad One of us!

@benphillips76 Not that this is bad, but it would be more meaningful if they hadn't used every drop of the stuff in their armory first

#PS32 moment of the day:
"My institution says I have financial conflicts that must be declared."
Buddy, there are six different biotechs listed on that slide. You shouldn't need to be told that requires disclosure. #biotech #bioethics https://t.co/yNzq8tEAzO

A great, disappointing, frustrating read.
"Children under age 16 comprised more than a third of uninsured patients [in Ontario]." One of the saddest facts I've learned all year. Situation is better here on the other side of the border. https://t.co/9AXCAW0iPw
