From a Q&A on Reddit:
What would you say is the biggest perk about your job?

Year in review 2011: November
Jobs was right, tablet news Xooming and more
Remember, remember the fifth of November? No? Us neither – in fact (possibly due to hitting the Christmas sherry a trifle early) we don’t really remember November at all. It’s just like a hazy dream.
