So you are the reason I keep getting this in my logs "getty keeps dying. There may be a problem".

Relating Facebook to its features and applications and how they could be replaced is missing the point. Facebook is all about the contact list. People will not move away from it and lose their contacts and seamless communication. i.e. importing the contacts somewhere else just adds complexity.

Like all things FB will eventually die but it will take some killer app that no one has seen yet, not just duplication of features.

Another way it may die is through a really bad event like major identity theft or a really nasty virus that causes people to flock away from it. Or possibly a bad DDOS attack that brings it down for an extended period.

Perhaps the 6 graders that just started math had a really good teacher. One year with a good teacher can outpace several years with a mediocre teacher. The conclusion of the study should be better teaching methods not less education.

To become a leader you have to be able to look people in the eye and tell them exactly what they want to hear. The better you are at this the higher up the ladder you will climb. For some reason people will always believe what they want to hear. It seems to apply across all ideologies.

The worst part is what journalist intentionally left out due to bias and protecting their own interests. Now when people hear something important on the news they are likely to look it up on the internet to get the unfiltered details. Of course if it is controversial then they will go to the sites that feature the bias of their choice. At least there is choice and alternate views available.

I really miss the 70s when college essays were hand written and talking to an actual person was exciting and you went to the theater to see animation. And thank god no one cared to archive more than a few random photos.

"Didn't Obama publically state that he wouldn't be spending Federal Funds to go after state licensed medical marijuana growers?"

You can hang that up with government run health care. Once that passes your body is property of the US Government. I expect you will see the government using that fact to pass and enforce many more laws concerning health related "sins". With the full support of the legal drug industry.

Where does the money go? It seems to me that $66 million could fund a lot of development for many years. Put that in the bank and you could easily pay the salary of 10 full time programmers and a decent amount of overhead and never spend a dime of principal and never need additional sponsorship and strings that go with it.
