What email? I didn't know I had an option to vote till reading this today. Did I need to "Friend" Zuckerburg to get these notices? Maybe no one voted cause no one knew it was an option. “But the plans were on display ” “On display? I eventually had to go down to the cellar to find them.” “That’s the display department.” “With a flashlight.” “Ah, well, the lights had probably gone.” “So had the stairs.” “But look, you found the notice, didn’t you?” “Yes,” said Arthur, “yes I did. It was on display in the bottom of a locked filing cabinet stuck in a disused lavatory with a sign on the door saying ‘Beware of the Leopard.” Douglas Adams, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy

They are not productive. Neither is going to the office apparently. http://www.ted.com/talks/jason_fried_why_work_doesn_t_happen_at_work.html

The business split was due to the licensing agreements. I forget which studio was mentioned in the article I read at the time of the split but the scenario went like this. Studio license costs $500,000/yr if you have less than say 100,000 subscribers. If you go over that subscriber limit the Studio ups the fee to $5million/yr. With Netflix as one company the studios were lumping DVD only customers with the Streaming customers to inflate the subscriber limit. If the streaming side became its own business then the license fee is based only on streaming customers. At the time the DVD only customers were something like 2/3+ of the customers. If the split had been successful it would have severely reduced the license fees that Netflix was paying. If Reed had come out and explained this to the customers the split might have worked. But he didn't. So Netflix came out looking like they were simply trying to double your monthly bill.

Funny you should mention that. I wrote a story for the gaming website I work at about the new TOS and used the humancentipad picture in the post. I just changed all the Apple references to Sony. http://www.the-games-blog.com/sony-updates-tos-with-you-cant-sue-us-clause/

Same here. I like Anime and the B-Movies. And an A -List movie just means the actors are overpaid. It says nothing about the quality of the story or how much I will enjoy watching it.

actually you can hide your networks / circles. Go under your profile, click edit, click on your circles (left side bar) You will see the options to show or not show your circles. You can show all circles or specific ones. You can limit circle viewing to public or only those already in your circles. You can even stop people from seeing who has placed you in a circle. The only mandatory public information is your Name, Gender, and a profile pic.

I have a 3DS. I get headaches if the depth slider is at full power. 1/4 to 1/2 works best for me. I've seen alot of folks that complain forget that there is a slider switch for the 3d effect. But then again, every time a 3d movie comes out I see the statistic that 20% of people are physically incapable of seeing the 3d effect so you may just be one of those unlucky folks. Out of the launch titles the only one that really used the 3d for more than a gimmick (for at least part of the game) is Steel Divers. Periscope Strike mode is fun. I'm betting the sales will climb when the Zelda, Mario, Kid Icarus games come out. I can't believe Nintendo would launch without at least one of them available.

It is from a year ago. I wrote a story about it on my website. Even the .pdf of the decision says Jan 2010 on it. Fox has messed up.

I've been on Ubuntu for about a year. I've only had 2 issues.

1. I had never had to worry about file permissions before. Not a flaw of the OS, in fact that's part of what makes it safer than windows, but it was frustrating for a whole 10 minutes while I googled instructions.

2. Loading Skype on 64 bit Ubuntu when skype only made a 32 bit version. Gave me a wrong architecture error. But A few more minutes of googling, and one command line input later and I had skype.

It would take a lot more than 2 paragraphs to list the problems I've had with windows from 3.1 through Vista.
