  1. Re:I'm buying stock in freezers by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 0 · on Global Bacon Shortage 'Unavoidable'

    A website I found claims 18 pounds of bacon per year. http://www.asylum.com/2010/08/09/17-mouthwatering-bacon-facts/

  2. Facebook isn't "Social" by rsborg · · Score: 5, Insightful · on Poole To Zuckerberg: You’re Doing It Wrong

    Society is a balance between privacy and sharing. When a so-called "social" website decides that everything that goes in the website should be "public by default" that really violates the public/private social balance.

    In the absence of strong information/data privacy laws, only a fool would use Facebook to put more than even the basic public details about themselves; you only need take a look at the growing legal, workplace and criminal ramifications to see the end results.

    The real tough part is that rabid facebook users can get you listed on Facebook just by "tagging" your photo. So you have to join to even purge the stupid... this is anti-social.

  3. Nearly 40% of the Internet is porn by kstahmer · · Score: 1 · on Meet NELL, the Computer That Learns From the Net

    Since nearly 40% of the Internet is porn, NELL isn't just getting "brainier every day," NELL is also getting hornier every day.

  5. Re:Specs by lordofthechia · · Score: 1 · on 3M Launches First Pocket Projector

    A hi-res version of that would be real handy in a laptop. I can't count all the times there has been a laptop around but no project or monitor available to share the display with everyone else.

    Be careful what you wish for. You may one day be visiting some personal sites while the projector built into your laptop is on and happily displaying to the world the deepest darkest recesses of your mind.....
