The New York Times has published a lengthy profile on Apple’s Retail operations, describing Apple retail employee pay in comparison to the company’s overall revenues from its retail chain. Controversially, Apple paints the average Apple retail worker as underpaid, comparing the average employee’s $25,000 per year salary against an average $473,000 per year made for Apple by each retail employee and Tim Cook’s large stock grants. Although this is what the NYT seems to initially depict, they then backtrack and say that Apple pays above the average for retailers....

Nick Miller is pretty much all of us. His character on New Girl is living proof that even during adulthood, we still have no idea what we’re doing or what is going on at any given moment.

We love Nick Miller as the cynical grouch who panic orders 200 dollars worth of Chinese food, is obsessed with “The Cotton Eye Joe”, and desperately wants everyone to know that he’s from Chicago....
