My wife is an internet advertising buyer for a very large advertising company (you'd have heard of it). She buys ad space for very, very large clients (think global brands). I know that she buys a lot of ad space from Facebook. Heck, I've been out to dinner with their ad sales people. Companies buy ad space where their demographic's eyes are. It's really that simple.

My advice: start your own company. I started my own a few years ago and I can and do bring my dogs to work. This the great secret that employers don't want you to know: no corporate perk comes anywhere close being your own boss! :)

Oops, I forgot to mention that. I also run XP in Parallels pretty much all the time too so I can test in IE6.

I have an entirely different experience. I code on my MBP 10 - 15 hours every single day and I'll go many weeks between reboots. I have 4GB of memory and it's running just fine. I nornally run Eclipse, Tomcat, Postgres, Photoshop, a couple terminal windows, and Open Office all the time.

Not sure if you're aware of this, but being gay means having sex with someone of your same gender. The rest of your points could describe anyone, most of my heterosexual friends included.

All those game updates were driving me nuts too, until I found out you can hide them. When you see those, click on the "Hide" button and then choose to hide all posts from that app. It'll make your Facebook experience much less crapy.

Holy crap. That's like a pun wrapped in a pun. Freaking hilarious! Nice work. You win.

Actually, it does. All those "random places" you list contain protein. Don't mistake protein and meat.

As someone who has gone from obese to quite trim, I can tell you that in my experience obesity is caused by taking in more energy than you burn, period! I cut the amount of calories i take in, and I lose weight. I add calories, I gain. I was never a carb eater, just a "too much" eater. Of course, carbs are really high calorie, so generally cutting calories mean cutting carbs. But, I'm not convinced the type of food is nearly that important.

That's my long winded way of saying: citation needed. :)

I have an unlocked Nexus One. T-mobile has two separate types of plans: one with a subsidized phone and one if you provide the phone yourself. For me, I pay about $20 less per month then if I had gone the subsidized route.

I believe T-mobile is the only major carrier in the US that does it this way.

Sorry, what? You lost me right there. :)

Just kidding, geez.
