this is done by celebs and models. your platonic female friend or booty call probably won't influence you to buy anything because of her facebook posts
i like my kindle app and this one person i know she loves the Nook along with another of my facebook friends. and there is no way you can get me to buy the nook over an ipad mini
yeah, but this time we have real eyeballs. not the fake ones from 14 years ago
i know single people who are always going out to bars
single people hacking away on tech
married no kids who are always chilling out somewhere
and lots of other kinds of people
why would i want to buy everything they buy? even then you can have a group of a dozen girls and some will have expensive and snobby crap, others wal mart crap, others the hipster overpriced crap, etc
and like every networking company that speed is on the ISP's network, not the entire internet like some retarts like to claim now. and even then it's all shared bandwidth with others in your networking segment. always has been.
the reason netflix is fast here in NYC is because cablevision has an open connect appliance and netflix has their own presence in downtown manhattan in the same building as every ISP and networking provider in the area. when i stream netflix here it comes from 10 miles away. if you want to live way out in the sticks, don't expect everyone to serve you
sender pays to send their data or traffic has been around for a long time until netflix started playing games and demanding free bandwidth as a competative edge
CDN's have been around since the late 1990's
google and other edge providers have been doing direct connections to ISP's for a long time as well
today's net neutrality arguments seem to be done by a bunch of blogger retarts who think Netflix should get everything for free because they like netflix and hate cable TV. and they have no idea how the internet really works and think everything is streamed or sent thousands of miles via tier 1 backbone networks which isn't true at all. everyone has been staging their content as close to the users as possible for many years now and spending a lot of money to do it
when everyone knows how to code expect it to be the factory work of this century. find some pictures of early 20th century offices where everyone sits at a desk in a huge room with no dividers. it's already here again
the value is going to be figuring out algorithms to make sense of the huge amounts of data being collected. the code to implement the algorithm will be your average low wage job
a lot of people go to school to another state
used to be you went to your state school. now kids want to be independent and fly off to some school a thousand miles away. a state school in another state and pay out of state tuition and room and board
a lot of people who went to college in the 70's and 80's also worked full time or part time and lived in crappy apartments. now the kids aren't working and borrowing their living expenses for four years
everything is faster than java
same with cars
30 years ago you had an AM radio, you needed a V8 for 190hp and dozens of features we take for granted today may have been thought of to be only on ultra luxury cars. not like we had navigation, blue tooth and lots of other gizmos in cars. a lot of the safety features and the new features people want suck up gas as well
i remember in the 90's everyone swore it was impossible to go under 90nm how 1GHz was the maximum speed you could get
you assume it never happened
for all you know there is a mini money printer at langley
not in biblical times, back then it was like 900 years
tell that to the bike nuts in NYC
they want the city to build bike paths and the drivers to pay for it
With your bare hands?!?
