You watch your mouth.... It actually bothers me that Lycos and Angelfire are still things that exist. I thought Earthlink still being around was pushing it.
If you can't manage that, at least bring scantily-clad women to the party... nobody expects them to answer questions about the device, and as a bonus, you'll get a lot of pictures of it.
Even in jest, can we not continue to perpetuate this as a good idea for tech expos. And people wonder why it's hard to get women interested in IT.
If it weren't for the fact that it works, it wouldn't be perpetuated.
Lowest common denominator love socially-acceptable bags of fat.
For the love of all that is unholy... "People don't use the 'Start Button?'" and "People use keyboard shortcuts.."
When?! Where?! WHO are these mysterious users?
Ctrl + and "Fn + 1-12" are two of the best kept secrets in using a computer. Rare is the day when I encounter someone that knows how to do either of these.
Shocker this, the Slashdot community hates anything to do with Social Media anyway. Why am I still surprised on the vitriol?
That said, I think this is an amusing idea. Sure, some people will buy according to like-counts, but I would HOPE that that would be a small percentage compared to those that buy by personal taste and fit. This is only the obvious next-step beyond typical advertising.
Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to see a man on Craigslist about buying a bridge.
Those who would give up essential usability to purchase a little temporary security, deserve neither usability nor security.
Yes... But he said liberty, not usability.

I can't argue with this. More and more, people are now feeling the backlash of spending too much, expecting too much and doing too little to make it happen.
My condolences are out to the people that have fallen on hard times. That said, money is rather easy to come by, and people are always willing to shovel tasks off on someone willing to do them for a price, no matter how menial. In fact, doing something is better than lying around bemoaning about having "nothing to do." And, assuming it's not against someone's ethical code or harms anyone else, I don't see the problem in doing it.
Facebook isn't concerned, since they know that people are addicted. Even if there ARE other games in town, none of them have the reach and grip that FB has on social culture. Count up how many websites are using a FB login as THEIR services login.

I, for one, will be curious how long it takes before there is a mass android-worker suicide where they leap off the buildings.
Yes. As in USSR.
Oh, lookie, another Communism reference!
An apple is red and a rose is red, then an apple must be a rose.

... The same example that the FBI and other governmental organizations have been giving out since their inception?

They call that "work ethic."
That sort of translation technology doesn't exist, as of yet.
So, does that mean when I look at my Facebook Friends List, I'll start getting popups for Proazc, Paxil and Xanax?
That's okay. Most CEO's should generally be dismissed as people with no leadership abilities, intelligence, morals, scruples or logic.
Hence, "businessmen" as opposed to "Human."

Which is STILL a pathetic "industry," since anyone with mp3's and a copy of iTunes (or other music software) can make snippets of music.
...Which blind folks can't see.
Hence, blind.

I see a huge modding community on the horizon...
It's all fun and game until
I'm actually waiting to see that change, actually.
Like it's any different when we see another scary set of Security Studies, Sponsored by Symantec.

It's because hyperbole is fun!
Wrap the thing in tinfoil like a baked potato.
If AT&T:
Preheat oven to 450-Degrees-Fahrenheit.
Bake for seven (7) hours.
Serve with sour cream/chives and cheese of your choice.
Enjoy.
Yes. Yes, they apparently are.
Then again, it's also possible that this was the intended purpose all along. If so, +10 Dark Side Points for them.
