The music industry, like the musicians who make it up, are a bunch of lazy douchebags who wish to get paid for plunking some strings and getting all funky and such, but mostly sitting on their collective asses doing next to nothing until time to record some new caterwauling. I used to want to be in a band and wish to get paid for nothing, then I grew up and got a real job. Let's be frank; you're batshit lucky if you every got paid to make music. For every good band, there are a million shitty ones all trying to get a recording deal. The world needs ditch diggers too, and playing drums and/or guitars builds upper body strength. So, come on you long-haired douchebags, pick up a shovel and get to fucking work!!1! Metallica must be rolling over in their graves! And now the prayer scene from National Lampoon's Vacation; "O God, ease our suffering in this, our moment of great dispair. Yea, admit this kind and decent woman into thy arms of thine heavenly area, up there. And Moab, he lay us upon the band of the Canaanites, and yea, though the Hindus speak of karma, I implore you: give her a break."
Not if they visit using a Live CD based OS. Ooops, sorry, just broke your new thing there.:) I'm not above using a Live CD to do things, and to collect stuff, which is stored on other things. IPs won't even help that now. Looks pretty broken. Hope the evercookie is chocolate.
It's merely lying to save face with the moronic investors during a "not-as-good-as-we-thought" quarter. Let's fix those awful quotes and inject some truthiness into them:
"When selling to users who want their devices not to suck, we believe a walled garden will be less confusing than and open one, every time. And we also think our developers can be more innovative if they can target a singular platform in our choice of development environment, rather than choose their own. And not piss us off with any of the innovations that go too far and provide free things where AT&T should be profiting from, as the incumbent carrier."
"Contrast this with Apple's integrated App Store, which offers users the most boring choices of tip calculators and other safe, mainstream, applications that lack some basic usability found in our other products. Ones that don't need to be shaken and have a real keyboards and mice attached. We once made computers, you know. Now just MP3 players and an MP3 player with a camera and a phone built in. Get excited, gammit!!1!"
...doesn't get viruses. Nice. What else do you prefer about itunes, other than it's price and the fact that you don't even need to buy things from Apple to fill up your local iTunes DB? Office is crap, and so are most Windows except for the dead XP. Don't make me say the Z word, or the K word, or the S word... (Zune, Kin, Slate). It's a troll to say MS products are not bloated hunks of shit that are force on you at work by ill-informed IT managers getting some freebies from Redmond. No, that can't be.;)
Don't take me wrong. I can't stand the App Store closed bullshit, or the over-hyped iPhones, but for my $$ iTunes is a fair content catalog system that can be fed from places other than the iTunes store. So, don't play up MS and their proprietary crapware. It just looks foolish here in the real world.
A commercial it is. Nothing good is ever found at the end of a link with *world.com as its suffix. Ads and disappointment, along with something like this article; complete Social Net-Hype bullshit. Yeah, grow your biz on facebook... if you're an idiot. I don't read articles like this, ever. Let me guess though, your "article" was light on info, heavy on ads to the point of absurdity, perhaps broken into several pages for no good reason and so much java script that you'd think the Mormon Tabernacle Java Script Choir was standing on your head. Nice!
Not that anyone here has fallen victim to the waste of time that is facebook. Rather this is just a vehicle for me to say:
"Hey, you got your waste of time website in my crappy OS! Well, you got your crappy OS all over my useless marketing engine disguised as a "social web tool" Mmmmm, two shitty tastes that taste even shittier together! Reese's Social Net-Hype Cups! Now with extra marketing!"
Great! Now I can pretend to stay connected to people I would not bother to see in real life, all with tons of ads, shitty web apps, and completely search-able! Where do I sign?!
1) get an inductive amplifier, the kind used for tracing telephone and communications wiring. Most electronic devices, FBI GPS tracking devices included, emit a wide range of radio noise, like when you try and put an AM radio near your 'puter.
2) wave the inductive amp around underneath your vehicle, you may find some spots normally emitting radio noise, like the car's clock or other always connected electronics gear like sweet free GPS devices and/or James Bond remote control and/or destruct systems, depending on your personal threat level.

I've yet to become paranoid enough to break out mine and try it. I'm more concerned about tree droppings on my paint job. Good luck, Citizens!
Whoopee-T-freaking-DO! Apple is fast becoming a Mee-Too company. How about an SD card slot, or a wired Ethernet mini-jack, or an open app store, or an on-screen keyboard that does not suck? I guess not today. The iPhone is a unique, limited, and interesting product that many non-technical people are in love with. Dopes. It's just a wide-screen iPod with a shitty phone and camera shoved in. I'll keep my dumb phone, thanks.
Giant, triangular spaceship at the ready. (pew pew pew) You have impulse engines and HyperSpace too, just hit the "HyperSpace" button, or pull back on the stick, if a dedicated button is unavailable. You have three chances. Watch out when the asteroid breaks into slightly smaller chunks! Oh, and there might be an alien or two out to shoot at you. Other than that should be smooth asteroid hunting. Good luck, Captain!
Let's say we can get over #2, the government is still overrun with assholes too caught up in their own power struggle to ever work together as a team. Then Microsoft will send in their lobbyists, because they want a piece of the pie, and it's business as usual: political infighting without any real results, all payments to/from the same bunch of crooks who proposed this whole debacle. No thanks, not until we get a government that works as a team, not two groups or shitheads trying to out-asshole each other and draw our attention away from real issues and into the status quo of non-issues: gays, abortion, Mooslims, Xtians. It's all nonsense, non-issues that most morons fall for and vote behind. If someone is a hardcore republican or democrat, then consider that they aren't a real American because they lack some simple skills that make our country great. Period. People like that are wastes of space and air, and their children will be eaten alive by kids like mine, and every kid in China. Better get to work, you're falling behind, and you're raising little shitheads who can't think for themselves and react like their awful parents: knee-jerks.
I'm teaching my child STEM, IT skillz, and very little team sports. I suggest you all do the same, or learn Chinese.
And if their a Tea Bagger... then they're truly ignorant. Might as well join a baptist church and howl at the moon.
I got to fire a real grenade launcher in the '80s, and it IS as good as it sounds! Hit the side of a rusted out tank with a non-explosive round. Good times!
I hear ya! I'm still using a Moto RAZR from 5 years ago and AT&T is seriously pissed that I haven't upgraded. I got an iPod Touch, but only for widescreen mini-movies, the App Store is a worthless joke. A smart phone cannot make one smart. Although, I would like the stock Android OS auto-installed on my iPod should it get "rooted". That would be fine with me.
Try scrolling your document to see the portions above or below the screen using the handy scroll bar to the right or left of your document. It's amazing! You only work with one page at a time anyway, get over not seeing all of it, or just print it out, gammit!
Also, why can't I have a screen view that flips 180 so I can watch movies upside-down? Fix that before we "fix" not being able to scroll, I mean, "view" your +5 Tall Document of Nonsense. Don't make me come down there! Get on my lawn and subscribe to my newsletter!
Thank you! I'll be subscribing to your newsletter shortly. I found it odd that people still use laptops in their laps! I mean handhelds and smartphones are the new laptops, the laptops are the new desktops, and desktops are the new home servers. Eventually augmented reality glasses will replace the handheld, then minions of nanobots. Laptop in his lap?! What a dope!
Then you would think, in a free society, that would be enough; not stocking it at the military version of Walmart. But, no, that's not enough. In an actual free society we would have been given the choice to either purchase the game or not, then play as the Taliban or not. The choice, the free choice, is now taken from us by whiny douchebags. Period.
BREAKING NEWS: George Lucas has now decided to recall all Lucas Arts Star Wars themed games to patch them so you cannot play as the Empire.
Same thing. If you don't like them, don't play as them, or buy the game you frickin sheeple!
It just hasn't peaked yet. You'll see. Facebook is the flavor of the month and it WILL go the way of myspace. It's just not going to have legs to stand on when people tire of the lack of attention to it's basic features, security, and all the attention on adding the latest answers to questions not asked; geolocating me and my stupid posts, unwanted tagging, badly integrated media types, shitty apps filled with malware and ads, etc. Yeah, Grandma and Grandpa are going to be "sticky" to facebook in two years time with their HUGE Farmvilles! Would you also like to send me $6000 to help me unblock my Nigerian back account lottery winnings?
Facebook will be around as long as their scam fools the general population. "Like" that, Saddos!
NASA Scientists also mention that "Space Brownies were invented in the '60s by Earth-bound hippies and no further research is needed in this area. Thank you."
To the contrary, the fart apps sound SO lifelike that a real fart delivered through the shitty bandwidth of the "voice application" sounds awful in comparison. RIM has to ban them to keep people from wondering why they pay so much for so little quality in the base application; the frickin' phone. Same with the iPhone; the voice quality is in third behind the data consuming and screen effects. So much for "SmartPhones."
That I have already purchased my last Sony device, several years ago; a first gen PSP. I think I'm done with you now, Sony. This idea ranks up there with Network Walkman. Sony and it's products are second rate crap with pretty plastics. You'd be much better off with an XBOX-360 or a Wii. Although Wii seems to be pissing me off with their download content and similar OS "downgrades". All done with Sony. You buy from them.
Capture these badly programmed drones, reinstall them with some sweet, sweet Linux goodness, use them for fun aerial combat play, and taking snaps of bikini-clad neighbors. Problem solved. Patent not pending. Come as you are. There you go.
They are compromised from the inside before they even string up one RJ-45 cable. Just tell Gen. Nuisance that "We'll just not dial into the bad guy's BBS, Sir." and call it a day. These are the great "cyber warriors" from the USA; unable to comprehend and put up a VPN for this shit. Dumb, and dumber.
