What bugged me more was people's reaction to the lack of mechanical webshooters from the new movies. Since he was bitten by a spider what's wrong with acquiring it as a power in the movies. I'm a pedantic person but this detail is so minor that I don't understand why people care so much.
Dude, your convenience is equal to theirs, the mobile network is a democratic communication medium, don't like it? Turn the phone off and only turn it on when you need to make a call, otherwise tough shit.
People will tire of auto responses after a while. How about setting it up so it doesn't appear as an auto-response and just include 'I'm a bit busy..." onwards with a randomiser thrown in to make it come across as less casual.
In real life we don't count our friends as easily as we can in facebook. A facebook group of friends can be easily represented as a nice factual summary, then categorise and organise them, we're people, but we're being turned into statistics that can be managed. I doubt anybody in real life has put pen to paper to find out the same answer or even thought about it in those terms. It has nothing to do with nostalgia either, its just places like are facebook dehumanising us.
My trouble with facebook is that I valued everybody across that medium much to my shame and time wasted. Having had a profile on Match.com and chatted up girls in real life, I'll take the real life any day, its so much more expressive and human, that surely translates as being more meaningful? People can be more flippant and narrow minded while staring at a computer in the safety of their home. Oh ironies of ironies, here I am chatting to you here about it as well.
I just pulled myself facebook, I got sick of all that faceless and meaningless interaction. I had nearly 300 friends and I informed everybody I would be leaving so they could give me their details and we could meet up in real life. Out of those 300 people, only 2 people gave me their details.
That says a lot to me as it turns out nobody was really bothered, human interaction has become passive activity (when it should be much more important) and probably with a lot of people I was just a number.
You should explain, it's not just the parent after all who is going to read your post. Whatever you will say will probably benefit others and if this was a real conversation you would come across as a douche, even though I understand in this context you're not.
As soon as this happens, I'll stop paying for the Internet, it's free in a lot of places already so there isn't any real need on my part to have it in the house.
if there were no tax heavens anywhere in the world and businesses just paid what they owed like the rest of us. Sure the prices will go up but if this happened from the get go, it wouldn't be an issue.
I'm annoyed with companies avoiding paying tax but then using the government system to seek protections or create laws for their benefit.
That is a good enough reason, maybe they should also ship an iphone without call making capabilities because bandwidth and coverage isn't good enough for that either.
Most are not on AT&T's network, why hold back features just because of one mobile provider's inability to keep up to on their network?
I can't contest your points about hardware and battery unless the device was made bigger.
You don't have to buy the DVD's you know. Also I've noticed with iPlayer a lot of content keeps getting repeated so why buy the DVD's in the first place? How many times are you really going to watch that DVD. Define your real needs first.

You're wrong to suggest that I didn't know any of them when I in fact did know who they were.

so simple its true.
Sure I can scan it on Monday when I am at Uni.
everyone is pedantic on some level and it's necessary in life.
Don't get me wrong, I haven't given up. I've already written to them about this. I'll still check out your website though.

Because nobody corrects each other in real life either right? Moron.
Your, not you're. You first sentence doesn't make sense.

You and the parent don't understand the difference between 'lose' and 'loose'.
because of this link, I will be chucking my facebook account come the new year.
How do you explain free speech zones then during the bush administration?
Maybe if they are hot, on Ultimate Surrender instead?
Maybe a credit card version of the Oyster travel card would make things even faster? No pin, just swipe.
I agree, makes perfect sense: http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/07/entourage-edge-e-reader-shows-off-its-softer-ware-side-on-video/
