EDITOR'S LETTER

Although year reviews are a trend since long ago, it tends to be seen more and more as a bad Omen than something to remember.
Rightly so because this year was the year with the most car accidents in history. Especially Newtown automobiles are known for their poor quality engines; yet again a Newton exploded in the middle of Union Square in Washington DC killing an entire family and 10 other people in it's area.
Managers of Newton Cars have officially declared "an engine malfunction that also allows hackers to easily hijack the automobiles".
A further problem announced by professional automobile drivers regards the lack of waterproof functions; no matter we talk about driving through the rain or simply car washing.
The only good thing about Newton automobiles is their ability to drive on any terrain.
It seems Newtons are the most controversial cars in history: there have never been as many strikes against an automobile producer as it is now because of Newton. This strike started shortly after Newton was made public. People hate the idea of not getting a job if they can't afford a Newtown. Some people sold their homes to buy a Newtown but they still don't get a job because company managers don't get the idea of "someone not being able to pay a car and a house in the year 2987.

Mr. and Mrs. Smith bought a pack of printer cartridges yesterday.
Today they have to print some official papers useful in their company. It's 11:30 but the couple didn't print a single page yet. They tried anything from restarting the printer to reinstalling the printer driver. The error still pops on the computer screen.
Mr. Smith contacted the printer manufacturer and answered robot's questions. After one hour Mr. Smith knew the cartridges ordered from a local tech shop may be fake; just like the last time he bought cartridges from the same shop. As the printer series is officially written on the package, Mr. Smith could be the one who doesn't know anything about printers and the shop is not guilty, so no one is the wiser.
Mr. Smith ordered the original cartridges from the manufacturer's website; more money lost because of "his" mistake, another unproductive day for his company, another customer lost...
He tried every printer manufacturer under the sun. Whichever typed manufacturer series on the packages can't be found or judged because officially he/she is not hired.
Because of days in which Mr. Smith's company didn't bring any profit, the couple will have to find a job. But people who once were bosses of their own companies are seen as weak, stupid, losers who beg for a job.
