Man, over the course of, like, a year, these job postings have gone from "need someone who can carry three cups of coffee at once" to "if you're not Jason Bourne, don't even frikkin' bother or we will hunt you down and kill you!"

@ilovexspin: seriously. it's not like any of them would actually apply anyway. they're all perfectly happy at geek squad stealing porn from people's hard drives and posting it on 4chan. #gizmodojobs

The intern serves you coffee at 170* ONE TIME and you ship him off to Somalia. I'd hate to see what would happen if Julia got Shake Shack without telling you.
By lousy pay are we talking at least enough to rent an apartment and eat food?
Because I'll move my ass out there myself from Saint Paul, MN for a chance to have a job where I can screw around with gadgets and write stuff about them.
