How many designers work at Twitter?
Right now, there are around 20 people on the design team, including our creative director, several product designers, a few interaction designers, two interns, and two design researchers. We’re growing fast, too, and looking to add another 10 or so folks in the coming months.

On a VHS machine, pausing the tape kept the same segment of tape rubbing against the playback drum, which if done for a long enough time could wear that spot in the tape. This could cause any number of picture and sound hiccups, or worse, cause the tape to break.
With a DVD, there’s little mechanical difference between pause and stop unless you keep it paused for more than a few minutes, after which a stopped DVD motor will spin down but a paused one will continue to run [1].
