Oh I don't think you'd like 1/7 billionth of the available resources...the fact that you have access to a computer says that many people are living in poverty or even starving in the 3rd world for you to have your (nothing special by 1st-world standards) wealth. It's exploitation all the way down, the oligarchs at the top and the 3rd world slave labor at the bottom. I remember that in the early 2000s, Snopes.com calculated that if all the world's wealth were divided equally among the population, we'd each have about $20.
I think that there's room for a social media fad for every generation. It's a new mistake we can make growing up that technology has enabled in just the last couple of decades. I went through it back in the Geocities/Angelfire days, but there are more suckers born every minute. In the future it will be something we'll just have to try (but not always succeed) to keep the new generations off of, like cigarettes, but since social media is nowhere near as addictive it should remain a small industry, like the various BonziBuddy-clones and adware toolbars that still exist today.
Even the biggest fanboy doesn't post with such regularity on what they're a fan of, and rarely gets in a big propaganda piece as a first post which is quickly modded to +5. Or you can stick your head in the sand and assume they're all just very dedicated fanboys with very recent accounts...
Safer than driving per mile that is, a misleading statistic touted by the airline industry (unless you assume that driving is always an option). In % fatalities per person transported it's only slightly safer than riding a sportbike:
Can you be sure it's the TSA though? The baggage handlers on the arrival side are the ones that usually burgle the bags. Although the existence of the TSA gives them better deniability.
If he does make it to the airport, you catch it by profiling him for special extra screening. So you don't screen granny, but you do screen me (44 year old darker skinned guy, non US-citizen, with beard).
That's sort of like saying production problems in economy car plants are a huge opportunity for supercar builders. Have you seen the $/GB on those things!?!? And even if you can run a workstation in the meager space of an affordable SSD, the average joe won't say the performance benefit was worth it when the SSD suddenly goes titsup and the data is unrecoverable.
I often say that hard drives on off-the-shelf computers are like tires on cars: They sell them with the cheapest bargain-basement shit they can get their greedy little hands on. And the 5400RPM drive is the knockoff-brand all-season of hard drives.
You must be trolling me. Google indexes and caches everything they run across (it will actively seek out new URLs) unless you set your site to not be indexed or cached. That's how search engines work, that's the right way for them to work. But apparently you didn't know that. Maybe you should get a job as an English teacher since l33tspeak offends you and you have the requisite level of computer skill.
There is even software being sold now to superimpose posters, products, and even vehicles into old TV shows. So you could see an episode of Seinfeld tomorrow where someone is walking past a poster for a brand new movie while listening to music from an iPhone and then gets into a Prius.

I don't trust him. I just get the feeling he's going to turn into some flying supernatural creature and we'll need to fight with giant swords.

Yeah when the sum rises it's called inflation. And look at whose adjusted wealth goes up with inflation and whose stays roughly the same.
You're absolutely right but he is a brilliant businessman and a visionary in the area of digitally milking people like dumb cattle.

The natural lifecycle of all social media fads, that Geocities and Myspace have gone through before.

Look at the guy's post history smartey man.

You forgot one thing: These days if the hijackers lives, you die. So the passengers have only 2 possibilities to choose from:
1. Fight and possibly die fighting, or possibly live.
2. Remain in your seat and certainly die.
That's an easy choice for anyone.
It's been done before, just not in airports yet.
If he does make it to the airport, you catch it by profiling him for special extra screening. So you don't screen granny, but you do screen me (44 year old darker skinned guy, non US-citizen, with beard).
You're advocating racial profiling? Seriously?
Don't forget T-shirts with pictures of giant cartoon robots carrying giant cartoon guns.

I've suspected this for a while and now I'm calling it: You're a shill for Microsoft.

Oh jeez you're hopeless.

Yep this is why I don't block all ads. I block flash, scripts and trackers. Deliver a plain image/text ad and I'll see it.
Yes as we can see from TFA they are a compassionate species so we must stop using this hurtful term. The rats don't deserve it.
Already exists, it's called "money." Most of us just haven't received an effective dose to find out if it works on us.
Should have enabled the restricted extras before blastoff...
