If you see people with 1000+ friends, they don't have 1000+ friends to converse & be friends with, that's just 1000+ people they can broadcast to.

If you see someone that adds you as a friend, but never comments on any of your wall posts, you're just another viewer to their wall posts. It may or may not have commercial promotions involved.

If you have someone that adds you as a friend, but doesn't talk to you if you saw them in person, well, that's a mystery to me. Maybe you were interesting to them at one point, but lost your shine & been replaced by other recent adds.

Facebook isn't a tool to meet new people, that's for sure.

You are a hip celebrity & are having suicidal thoughts. Do you

1) Call 911

2) Call a friend

3) call suicide prevention hotline

4) tweet about it

If you chose 4, you are probably faking it so you can get on gawker.

It seems like every other day celebrities are reaching for a twitter client than hitting 911. This makes me think there isn't an actual emergency and things are a bit trumped up. "okay blood is coming out".

This is near(ie in the same building) the Penny Arcade or Playland, whichever one exists.

If you are in the twin cities area, go to the MN State fair. There's a room with nothing but pins. This is a welcome change from the increasing numbers of shooting gallery & ticket redemption machines invading the fair.

I can answer for that. If you are picking out individual pages from a base page(ie clicking links), it's sometimes faster than clicking a link, and hitting back to go back to the original. Often pages don't cache, or cache properly. Tabbed browsing is easier. So you look up something in google and find 5 results. You can open up 5 tabs to find what you want instead back & forth 5 times.Then there's those token tabs you leave open all the time, like gmail, etc.

I can't for the life of me ever want to use it in Thunderbird, though.

The comments won't load. They also try too hard to make it like twitter(following newsfeeds, etc). It lost any unique charm it once had.

They are axing for help in translating....

Internet access in a car? Wireless no? Insert joke about moving your house around to find said WIfi hotspots.

Instead of TVs everywhere in Max Headroom, it's Internet access in real life.

Every 7-8 months or so, I experience a dream that seems to last 3 or 4 hours, and seems like it was written like a well-made movie. I wake up out of it, thinking a long time has passed, and it's only 3-4 hours elapsed. Other, ordinary dreams seem dull in comparison and run me through the whole night.

Is there a name for said type of dream?

So how did the "company" explain the phone call in the first place? I highly doubt when people have to register for Windows XP activation they actually leave their phone number. And if so, how does a 3rd party get said phone number?

I'm 2 years running into my 20 gig Xbox 360 unit. I really wish Microsoft would reduce the hard drive add-on prices to more realistic levels. The casing around the HD can't cost THAT much. It would almost be better to just buy the new slim unit(that has over 10 times the hard drive space I have) than to buy the 250 gig drive alone.

I could buy a 1 terabyte drive for my system for less than they charge for a 120 gig unit.

Any reason why Chrome for Linux has so many problems reaching Gmail? I have to try over & over again to reach it, yet it works just fine everywhere(OS & browser-wise) else.

If e360 doesn't like Spamhaus, then don't use it! :)

Also, e360 should tell all of its customers that in order to receive the 6 billion+ emails, that they should not use SpamHaus on their mail servers. Oh, wait....

Wasn't there a case back of some company that made anti-spyware software that got sued by a company because their sw was labeled malware?

It's amazing how fast spammers can adapt to new media, websites,etc.

Last time I tried using it, just about 60% of the users I connected with just had a video on loop trying to advertise a website. Until chatroulette ups their game(accounts, captchas, etc), it's going to quickly fade out.
