  1. Re:You can search unnecessary people you want on Microsoft Social Media Site Accidentally Revealed · · Score: 1

    Microsoft is NOT good at this.

    Just like in the mobile OS space, they are years late and several dollars short.

  2. Re:In other news on 34% of iPhone Owners Think the 4 Is 4G · · Score: 2

    My phone is supposed to be 4G but since I have AT&T, I doubt my 4G is any faster than their 3G.

    True. Google+ arrived in time to likely cost him the GDP of a small (medium?) nation in stock value after the IPO

    Sorry for not phrasing that in an Amerocentric way that you would understand.

    "...in my opinion"

    We'll see if they take the facebook route of introducing things like "We'll use your picture in Starbucks ads" or "We'll use facial recognition to tag you in other people's photos" and opt you IN by default, requiring you to navigate an incomprehensible maze of ever-changing privacy options in order to opt out when new features - which you are never notified of - threaten your privacy in new ways.

    I'm guessing Google won't do that.

  6. Re:Interesting fact on Zuckerberg Quits Google+ Over Privacy Concerns · · Score: 2

    At work at least, I updated my hosts file to redirect anything related to facebook domains to a dummy IP. This prevents the facebook widgets and placement devices from functioning at least from any PC other than my home one.

    This was obviously a stunt from the get-go. Zuckerberg joined only with the intention of quitting in mock disgust later, in a stunt to protect his media empire, which is all based around collecting and selling personal information.

    if you read TFsentencingmemo, there's no doubt he did.

    the only fitting punishment for a pedophile is execution, for me

  10. Re:Yet *still* no full-sized soft drink on Man With 10 Million Air Miles Gets Plane Named After Him · · Score: 1

    International flights and flights on european airlines and in first class are a different animal entirely. I flew on Air Canada in first class and received two meals (microwave dinners, but hey), abundant snacks and alcohol, etc. for a 7 hour flight.

    Domestic airlines in the US, beaten to a pulp by labor unions and rising fuel prices, cut every corner possible while increasing fares and fees and still are on the financial brink.

    Go easy on him, he's probably just wondering how the plane flies with no propellers.

  12. Re:Yet *still* no full-sized soft drink on Man With 10 Million Air Miles Gets Plane Named After Him · · Score: 1

    Southwest, as the only airline not approved by the galactic empire, is probably not a good example.

    They are much less evil than the others due to the fact they can actually make money honestly.

    But can I run it in WINE?

    "Aero" also was to blame.

    But yes, it's mostly been due to DRM and useless bells/whistles/eyecandy

    It was funny to get an email from an ex girlfriend to whom I have not spoken in years advertising black market pharmaceutics, a subject with which she was intimately familiar...

    Is this why you can't re-order songs in your playlists in iTunes like you used to be able to?

    As I was saying, the real issue is, why can't people today go 2 hours without stuffing junk food down their gullets?

    Or, respectfully, it would cost half that much if you can sit for two hours without having to eat and drink.

    If there's no profit from movie tickets there are no theaters, and thus no new movies.
