It is forbidden for 5 year olds to have a facebook account. So you are already teaching your kids to disobey the rules?

THey have recently lowered the age to 12+, but if they want to include such content, it should be pulled up to 18+ again.

This is exactly why I just tried to connect once, and then went back to offline... I knew it wouldn't work the first week.

But I don't understand why they don't rent scalable cloud services, from amazon or whatever? Are they actually buying all the servers themselves?
Or would even amazon or MS azure datacenters not be sufficient?

It's cuz I'm whitespace isn't it?

no seriously, this even has too many whitespace on the sides on my ultra low resolution work laptop... not to mention vertical whitespace...

I like to scroll it, scroll it, I like to scroll it scroll it, we like to... scroll it!

New meaning for Blue screen of death in 3...2...1...

This is what happens in the land of the free, everybody does what he wants, and nothing gets done.

I will leave it to you to youtube a Cartman quote for "I DO WHAT I WANT", because I'm too busy being free to do it for you.

on the plus side, it looks like you guys have some minimalistic kind of health insurance now? Although I wouldn't bet my money on that being something significant either...

So they send all posts to NSA?

This is not true at all, I have an iPad (and it's the only device from Apple I own). I could throw it out the window tomorrow and buy an android or a Surface.
I do everything online, with apps only giving me a better view to the online content:
- feed reader
- evernote
- mail
- maps
All of these are replacable by either a mobile website, or an application on android or windows that does the same.
Some games I might miss, yeah, but that's not a deal breaker...
The only cost for me to get out of the eco system, is the same as getting in: just buying another tablet.

That being said, I like the apple hardware, it can take a punch, and is very stable. unlike the android devices I've owned.
I do own a WP7 but have sworn not to give MS a cent again, after they told me my top of the line hardware will not be receiving an update merely 2 weeks after I bought it. For a gadget freak and early adopter, this is a serious kick in the head.

Good for lenovo, and it's workers.

Still not buying a laptop from them though:
- I dont want a touchscreen on my laptop (on the plus side, they still offer win7)
- Im not buying a 2000 euro X1 with a resolution of only 1200x900....

Why do phones have higher resolutions then laptops these days???

If I send an email to a gmail account, from a non gmail account, I did not agree to anything. Still they scan my message, and probably keep, use or sell the info they harvested.

seriously, how do you measure 600 000 000 revolutions per minute on a microscopic sized ball?

You deserve the wage of you company's boss.

I got sweaty hands just from looking at 10 seconds of your video.... that's some crazy stuff

LOL, are you seriously implying that americans have free speech? In what world do you live in? Politically, the US is one of the worst countries out there, they are just very good in making it look democratic. You search for a pressure cooker online and get arrested....

Take off the blindfold mister.

and BTW, what is all this "netflix" you keep talking about... We can't even get that in BE either......

^ this. they have only aired the first two seasons so far in Belgium AFAIK....

And why would it be OK for your crappy gov agency to spy on me, and not on you, just because there is a sea in between us?

I'm really getting fed up with Americans going crazy over the fact that their government is spying on american citizens... They shouldn't spy on anybody without a very good reason to do so....

But if you want (and dont morraly oppose) your tax dollars to be spent on watching every piece of meat with 2 eyes and an evolved vocal capability as long as it isn't part of this piece of stone and water you call "the land of the free", you've got bigger problems imho
