Comment Re:Facebook will benefit from this (Score 2) 210

What continues to scare me are the numbers of people that still insist how awesome Google services are. Threads about email? "Just switch everything over to Gmail." Hosting? "Use Google Apps, it's awesome." Photos? "Use Picasa.." Phones? "Oh, get an Android phone. Apple is evil."

Google blew past evil and kept on going. They just did it right under everybody's nose.

Exactly. And I think this band sucks. I didn't give a flying turkey about their last youtube video either, and I don't care about this one.

I don't have Chrome installed on this machine, and won't either. Oh well...

Comment Re:anyone remember friendster? (Score 1) 373

There's a difference between goofy fake name accounts and a nickname, or in the case of a lot of people I know.. "name that identifies me to my friends but I still need to be hidden from the general public."

Friendster was just getting filled with crap..Ironically, Twitter is full of fake accounts, and they can be some rather popular ones.

Comment Re:Crowdsourcing FAIL (Score 2) 83

Google is a complete fucking pile of FAIL when it comes to anything related to customer support. They don't fix spam problems and spammers have been flocking to gmail/googlemail for ages now because Google actively protects them by hiding origin IP headers.

Then they let users add stuff to Google maps, and guess what? IT's becoming a spam hole thanks to the hoards of Avon reps & home "Scentsy" businesses. Even in my sparsely populated area, i'm seeing several worthless mommy-biz entries.

Google stumbles with this.. a lot.

Yet we're always told that illegal immigrants are paying into SS but won't ever get it. Now the H1B group will simply be exempt?

How long before the new "guest worker" program wants the same treatment?

We're going to have millions more *not* paying into the system, and people will act surprised when it fails.

Comment Re:No solar assist? (Score 1) 106

Next time, read the fucking article.

"Switch has apparently investigated alternative power sources such as solar power and the possibility of recycling the heat generated by its equipment into energy, but neither methods are cost-effective or space-efficient enough at the moment."

Comment Streaming is nice, but... (Score 1) 722

no new added value. Unless I like a bunch of anime bullshit and cartoons, and childrens programming like the Veggie Tales and stuff. Oh, and B-rated direct to video shit too.

Who do I really blame for this? The greedy motherfuckers at the movie studios. They're the rat bastards we should be directing rage at. Netflix is simply a delivery mechanism.
