Comment The player shoots, but is intercepted by a rocket (Score 1) 154

The stadium's not going to exist in 2022, that whole part of the world's blowing itself of the face of the earth right now. Qatar is right in the Persian gulf, my family's in gold trading which is big in that area and it's only gotten worse and worse, Gaddafi is crazy but he's not rolling over like Saddam. He's sitting on the biggest oil reserve in Africa and he knows it, I'd be interested to know where he's still getting weapon's and money from since he's been cut off from a lot of his funds and the UN refuses to even supply the rebels fighting Gaddafi. Yemen isn't far and and their president who's been in power for 17 years, Ali Abdullah Saleh, has repeatedly backed Iran and is letting rebels and freedom fighters run wild, he's also done nothing to stem the flow of arm's trades through and around the area and is facing an uprising of his own. Iraq has never been the same since the US starting in but the US has spread themselves thin with another sustained war in Afghanistan against a religiously driven foreign enemy using their homeland advantage. Obama's administration promised an end to things in Iraq but is now involved in 3 wars, spreading things a little thin much? Abdurahman Mohammed Farole, President of Puntland, an autonomous state inside of Somalia is right in the horn of Africa is worried about the uprising in Yemen affecting the Somalian people as they have already seen 100 refugees come from there in the last week. Dubai has used this technology in the summer months to create fake rainstorms in summer of 2010, but as a bankrupt international hub for big business could it become a ghost town as the more no fly zones are implemented and a recent ban on blackberrys, perhaps smartphones in general. F1 has looked at creating fake rain for when they race in Abu Dhabi, UAE, being the trend in the area this could be implemented fairly easily but with the area affected by No fly zones already. May 1st marks 8 years since George Bush's invasion, taking that as a vague reference point 2022 is 11 years ahead, will this kind of extravagant sporting event even be possible or even heard of in this part of the world by then?

Comment Farm Complete: You lose at life! (Score 1) 42

If you work at Zynga you're all going to have farmville, etc. cause let's face it some of them have got to have like farm lvl1000 or whatever by now, but if an employee has a low level at their games or has a custy little farm with are they actually wrong in not playing on facebook all day or would you be expected to have a good upstanding farm the size of Iowa?

Comment As if my insomnia wasn't bad enough already (Score 2) 148

Thank's for making me aware that there are robots out there sneaking around unseen and unheard, heaven forbid someone gets the idea to give them weapons or even voices. WALL-E was kinda cool, you know what's not cool? When he sneaks into your house in the middle of the night, neutralizes your dog and family members, then fulfill's your bittersweet fantasies of a robot style apocalypse!

Comment Don't be fooled! North Korea is behind all this! (Score 1) 545

Back in June 2010 North Korea asked/demanded $75 trillion from the US, this can only mean the North Koreans are in control of the world's music industry and are back for their trillions! It may also explain why mainstream music is in the state it's in and of course the uncanny resemblance between Kim Jong-il and Justin Beiber...

Comment Needing and Wanting (Score 1) 789

I just don't see the point of tablets, we don't need them. Why do we need something that's not quite a smartphone and not quite a laptop? Would you buy a massive smartphone that can't make calls or fit in your pocket or a laptop without a keyboard or disk drive? When the Ipad came out people did what they always do when apple releases something: instantly buy into the hype, assume they'll be left in the stone age without one, and pay out the nose for the shiny thing. If Steve Jobs decides he wants to combine widescreen TV's and laptops then Apple and their astute marketing team will convince the average consumer their life depends on buying the iWall or they'll be shipped off to Africa.
