Wired’s interview with Dropbox CEO Drew Houston is a good read, but you might want to skip right to the correction at the end for the very best part.
“Correction appended [2:37 P.M. PST/9/17]: A previous version of this story incorrectly quoted Dropbox co-founder Drew Houston saying “anyone with nipples” instead of “anyone with a pulse.”
The obvious question: how does one mishear “pulse” as “nipples”? You can’t even try to blame that on autocorrect.
And now I have @HuffPostTech reporters repeatedly saying "nipples a pulse" to see if we can differentiate the terms.
