My 2 cents. Everybody is fucked up in different ways. You have around 80 years (or much less) to live, after which nothing matters. Conclusion, go enjoy your fucked up life. If you want something, go get it, or not. Peace.

I don't think this takes their copying to a whole new level. They've already copied an entire city called Hallstatt in Austria. They've built the same houses, same streets. Compared to that, copying an Apple store is nothing remarkable.

This thing is a classic Dreyfus affair. I mean, isn't it obvious that they just want him out of the way since he exposed some of their dirty little secrets, thus they created this whole sex crime charge to achieve that?

You do not have the privilege to post on IMDB forums either, which is owned by Amazon, unless you do "additional verification". You might think that a Captcha would suffice. In fact, you gotta either send a $1 sms to Amazon or buy something worth at least $1. If they can make you pay, they will. However, I wonder how reliable those reviews and forum posts are when people cannot freely speak their opinions unless they pay first.

So why have they rolled out the "reply to message by email" feature recently? Surely that decreases your time spent on Facebook, and increases your time spent in your email client.

Picasa is made by Google, right?

And random dude gets promoted to admin, because he made more negligible 'copy-edits', (i.e. remove commas, revert vandalism, put picture to the left/right) than academic adam who wrote the whole article full of information himself in one edit, and then random dude reverts all edits made to the article because they do not fit with his world view, and in the end random dude bans academic adam, because random dude is considered a power user who makes 1000 'copy-edits' a day and is part of the inner circle.
