My cell phone has a blacklist. You may call my phone once after that I blacklist and I'll never know you called and you can't leave a message.

Zynga is killing themselves with all the spam your friends crap. I've played some of the ville games and the thing that really kills them is the spam 100 of your "friends" to get this or that and continue in the game. They'd make a lot more money sticking more with the sandbox than the spam.

1.21 gigawatts to be exact

Haha too true. I use Gimp but I can't stand the UI on it. This will be a much welcome change for me.

Allen Bradley CEO sees $$$$$$$

Same here. Mine's not updated.

We didn't need guitar hero 1,2,3,Aerosmith, Metallica, band hero, world tour, 5, etc that were not all compatible with one another. Harmonix had it right supporting the same platform through multiple versions. I think most people just got tired of the genre. My family has hundreds of DLC tracks for Rock Band, used to play it a ton. We just burned out on it.

If I want to post a picture from my phone for people to see and comment on why the hell would I want to send an email to all those people with the picture? Much easier to share it on my G+ page because my phone uploads every pic automatically to my private G+/Picassa album. Facebook I play some games like Castle Age and have hundreds and hundreds of friends.

Did you read some of the IRC logs from the lulzsec channels? They are obviously teenagers.

But apparently on by default or something. I don't know my wife posted her first picture on it and it had a link underneath with our exact address on Google maps. She didn't enable it she just took a picture with the Google+ Android app.

So far I'm digging Google+. The Android app for it is nice too. Hopefully it doesn't get clogged up like Facebook with tons of games, quizzes, etc. I'm using G+ only for people I actually know unlike Facebook.

Pay attention to what the app wants access to when you install it. You have to OK it before it will install. If it's a live wallpaper there should never be a reason it needs to access anything on your phone for example.

Writing software in the semiconductor industry for almost 2 decades I have found reviews to be a waste of time mostly. I never worked in environments where multiple people were working at the same piece of code at the same time. It would have more value in that setting. When you are working by yourself on code and you have to do code reviews I found most of the time is explaining what the code is doing to the manager. The other developers don't care, they have their work to do and really could careless what you are doing unless it affects what they are doing.

I think my electricity bill was just slightly under that last month in Phoenix.

Well I'm still in a contract for another 1.5 years with Verizon so I guess I'll have unlimited data until then.
