queue Fox News to say that Obama should have insisted that this be done 4 weeks ago.

Old News. That was the first thing anyone did when they got the game genie.

I didn't disagree with that statement. I'm just explaining why Facebook wants users to "share" more data. What is your explanation for why facebook removed the ability to make your…

The more content is private the fewer pages of targeted advertising Facebook will serve. So if everything was private facebook would make less money. By tricking users into making …

The most effective argument is that it is a "Gateway Drug". There is no proof that weed makes people use crack or heroin but it is a good way to scare the public.

In the article they explain it is more like wine than a standard commodity. After legalization you will end up with everything from cheap mass produced quality up to artisan award …

Someone needs to create a standardized Social Network file. Then users could "download their facebook" then upload it to another social network.

Interesting, However I trust my wife way more than I trust a 'company' that may or may not get bought by someone that wants to reinterpret my pre-nup to determine if it is iron cla…

I randomly had an OK magazine app installed. I don't remember going to that page, it must have been a link off of Google news.

They controlled for IQ, but they didn't control for desire. Some people want to make good grades for pride, to impress their parents, etc.. Others would rather do something other t…

"Into thin Air" showed how easy it can be if everything goes well. He talks about people who were out of shape making it. But if one or two things go wrong, you're dead.

Clearly this is an automated process. No one at Google has done research to determine who you have dated. It is possible that your parent, or friend or neighbor has done searches a…

Interesting rant, however you have not explained why you think Union Teachers are better than non union teachers at educating children? Tax payers pay taxes so that children in the…

FB will get a share of ad revenue from a 3rd party application that Bob installs. That application will have access to my picture that I set to "only Bob". You can blame Bob for be…

By private I mean when I upload a picture and set the privacy to "only Bob" It makes me think that Bob is the only person who has access to this picture.

From FB point of view they have 2 options. 1. Go back to the 2007 FB and keep most people happy, and lose the ability to sell private data. 2. Lose 10-25% of users and monetize eve…

There is more than one exchange. If you see a Bid of 10$ come up on the NYSE you can put in a bid of 9.99 on another exchange and if that order gets filled you can then turn around…

Front-Running is currently a legal tactic in trading. GS seems to be very efficient at it. And the 1/8th point higher you have to pay when you buy a stock isn't that much anyways.

Good article, I WFH and I think my peak productivity would be if I was going into the office 1-3 days a week. One benefit to the employer he didn't mention is lower salary. I have …

I don't understand why you would plug a battery charger into a USB port? How many people don't have an extra power plug, but do have a laptop that they are going to let run for hou…

You are correct, he didn't do a poll to find out what percentage of black people would only go to OKCupid after failing at those others he mentions. So basically this discussion is…

On Digg I have noticed that the top rated comments are pretty good. There are a few top comments that are obvious rebuttals to trolls but the original troll comments are not in the…

yep. The mentality is that we are in a war against terrorism, most people understand you cannot actually attack terrorism so when you say "war against terror" most people really th…
