I just tried SL for the first time last month, and had to abandon it in the tutorial. The UI and movement controls we're intolerable. I come from a long history of MMORPGing, with familiarly in diverse control schemes (from UO to WoW to ESO), and yet I just couldn't get used to SL's movement and camera controls. I'll return if/when they ever improve.
I've had great luck recently trying out the Mercury browser on both my iPhone and iPad. It alone seems capable so far of restricting all the pop-ups and perhaps more importantly the new-found pop-unders.
I'm not sure what the point is that you're trying to make, since you simply posted one link and two snarky words. Perhaps you're trying to contradict my point by saying Android sells well, and IT'S a quality product, proving my theorem wrong?
If so, you are mistaken, and are merely proving my point. Yes, Android does sell well, but I, too, think it's pretty a pretty craptastic platform, in desperate need of numerous improvements. This again merely proves my point that the quantity an item sells does not correlate to the item's quality.
Brittney Spears has sold millions of albums and McDonalds has sold billions of hambugers. It doesn't make either of them are good. It just means lots of people have shitty taste.
I have a Facebook account, I share on Google + as well, and I was one of the fist Ingress'ers in my city. I've shared nothing of any consequence to anyone in doing so. My life hasn't nor will it change in any significant way because of these activities which bring me a few moments of fun here and there at the cost of NOTHING to me. I already was a number to corporate America long ago, but I avoid consumerism and its pitfalls on my terms just fine.
Sometimes I wonder why I read/., with all the crackpot tinfoil hat libertarians that troll it....
"That domination is complete in China. Everything is censored, controlled, tweaked, threatened, bullied, or groupthinked into "order".... The chinese neither like nor dislike it. They have no right to an opinion either way."
This is utter and complete bullshit. I'm an American professor of history, and was in China no more than two weeks ago. I had frequent, open exchanges about politics, economics, society, the Communist Party, Hu Jintao, his likely successor, and even Tiananmen Square with numerous Chinese.
Stop making shit up about China and the Chinese to fit your own agenda.

Was the United States of Dumbfuckistan founded by Yahweh, Zeus, the FSM, Amaterasu, Marduk, or Odin?
I just want to know where I can SAFELY buy some Viagra online without a prescription. Surely a Yank can find some luck in Canada. However, maybe Googling it now isn't the way to go....
I really enjoyed the trailer, and I'm very much looking forward to the film. I'll catch a midnight showing, no doubt.
However....
Don't some of the dwarves look a bit, well, silly? Is it the make-up? Is it just their design? I'm uncertain. But something doesn't quite fit right with some of their looks.

Who cares how much it costs; Mexico is gonna pay for it, remember?!
Oh, wait....

Ah, yes, telling a stranger how to spend their money, always a good rhetorical strategy. /facepalm
NMS works great and is quite fun on my PS4. /em ducks and runs from the rabid "PC is the Master Race" crowd
I thoroughly enjoyed The Cuckoo's Egg by Cliff Stoll.
Asheron's Call?
I'm always amazed at how otherwise smart people get taken in by the idea that bitcoin is anything other than a scam. /boggle
If you molest my daughter, you'd be lucky to be living under a bridge. It'd make it harder for me to find you, but eventually....

If I had mod points today, you, good sir or mam, would get them all!

Coward.
Stay and help fix the problem instead of fleeing with your tail between your legs.
Surely there's something more worthy of our nerdly attention at the moment....

I can't remember the last time I've seen such a vast collection of shitty music all in one space.
Just imagine how much faster the porn will download in Utah! Wait....
+1 for "The Jerk" reference.
I will be the first one to bow down to our mosquito overlords.
