That's enough humans. Robots! come over.

had they been smart enough, perhaps the company would have been in better share than it is today, in regard to smartphone warfare.
ha! they need not worry about my ISP. Because youtube is totally blocked for more than year now. hehe.
is't it the registrar we are talking about, who would register a domain name himself, if you search it using their website. Only to find, you would have no choice for 5 days except to register it with them or wait for 5 days to register with someone else. 'douchebag' is seemingly an innocent word for this kind of business.
Back in December, the domain registration and hosting company tested a new system that would automatically register any domains searched for by users of its site. That system went live last weekend, meaning users doing a search found the domain they wanted became unavailable and held by Network Solutions shortly afterwards.

If all human beings on earth used the resources as much as an average American does, it would need the resources of the 7 earth to meet the demand.
Poor country have larger populations, but they ain't using earth resources as much.
What Gates is trying to do, transfer the resources to poor people to make up for this disproportion of resources due to wealth possessed by the comparatively richer people.
bam! it's cool. I signed in only yesterday, and there was no sign of new design it's a pleasant surprise. ;)
Update: I spoke too early, upon signing into my account and my domain section is old. it's looking creepy, 2014 design and 1992 one inside it :/
I would hate to say this, but people here and there, are cashing in NSA fiasco. I would have loved it more, if this was more focused on 'features' than playing with people's emotions. this is valid for everything currently cashing-in NSA issue.
As for, NSA spying how exactly can this phone ensure 100% secrecy. Given a user would have to use the same apps, and above all, the carrier that other smartphone users use.
Point is, US Govt is hellbent on spying on you. And they will no matter what. Either change the US Govt, or suck it up. Nothing else is gonna work.
I don't how I feel about this, right after watching the 'her' trailer. I am speechless.
I am going against the wind. It's not only stupid but also ugly.
Having your bedroom near or inside a kitchen is a total chaos.
I think technology is the enabling factor behind the tiny house movement.
Technology has helped most persons own a 'palace' which was only possible for super-rich in the past, due to lack of 'economical' technology and advancements.
This is my general observation, but i don't know anyone, which does not have above characteristics, reason I asked it, these characteristics actually have nothing to do with coding.
here i have written about.
The Delusion of Social Networking. http://nerdspace.co/588
the advantage or significance of facebook is that, it has been able to prolonged these phases.
Social networking overall has run its course. below are the phases it has gone through like everything else.
1. Initial Launch: OMG! Cool. Signup
2. More people Jump in, it becomes even more exciting.
3. Everyone starts using it.
4. Eventually, excitement starts to fade away.
5. It becomes boring.
6. People's addiction eventually starts to decline.
7. People totally lose their interest.
8. Eventually, it becomes a ghost town. End.
Google+ even couldn’t pass through the 2nd phase.
because it counts people not value them.
I hate democracy, but I will choose it over any other method for transfer of power. The only credit I can give to democracy is, it ensures transfer of power without bloodshed and in a civilized manner, rest is all crap as we know it.
Even though I had my personal interest to learn English, back when internet was not common, or not very accessible due to dialup, i would buy English newspapers and study them, and always keep a dictionary with them.
However, that was bit silly and a lot more time consuming.
The best to improve English is to be part of a community (an online forum). it's up to you which you want to join. Only join the one which interests you. Get involved in lengthy debates and discussiona, I know it's not cool, but just for the sake of learning and improving your English.
If you follow up above advice, your English skills will skyrocket in a very short time compared to traditional methods.
Similar to what was portrayed in Avatar Movie.
I have not handwritten a single paragraph in the past 10 years.
We cant prevent credit card credentials theft. what we can do is, opt for 2 factor authentication, one of my credit card companies does that. It's a little pain but it worths it.
Question is, would it make one, 'young at heart' too. Possibly No. And this is all what matters.
As for $50K/Day price tag, it makes it loud and clear, this drug is for the filthy riches at least for couple of years, my average joe and jenny will remain old and ugly. :/
It's not about being creepy, it's about having enough time on hands and why. I would be interested to find someone, who values taking 1000s picture of mine than his time spent making money for himself. In the case of celebrities for instance, they have almost their entire life public, and i don't think it had harmed them any way, unless, they committed something illegal and it was made known.
People over the internet, are little too much over-sensitive. I am not implying 'Privacy' has no value, but we have taken this issue bit too far over the 'internet'.
A prime example of so-called 'anonymity' over the internet is 4chan, you pretty much know what sort site that is.
I am not implying it's an illegal website, but frankly, anonymity mostly leads to creepy, drugs (silkroad), and everything else considered wrong and bad, than something good which is pretty rare. Snowden is an exception, but again, he committed a crime for a good cause. Most people however commit a crime for every possible wrong reasons.
Bravo Son! you have earned respect for your this deed. Appreciated.
On a side note, I am still not sure, if i will ever use this app. This is primarily because, I act on the internet in the same fashion as i do in real life. I won't do anything online, what I can't do in real life. Hence I don't and perhaps would never need an app like this.
As for sending someone 'secret' message, I always whisper that in the ears. It's an old fashioned trick but has proven to be most secured.
I am the CEO, and my salary is lesser than all the key staff in my company. Reason, self-funded. And everyone in the office knows it. I am just astonished how a CEO of company like Buffer, can afford such an expensive package for himself. Are you making enough or just billing it to your investors?
Bill Gates: when you reach your first billion dollar, you are back to cheese burger.
Point. He is just being what everyone else us are here. a normal human being.
it barely warrants paid upgrade period.
Now take my sincere advise, take a trip to Hawaii for couple of weeks. don't sell them fast. Once you are back, you will either have another trip, or just cash out successfully. end.
As for coinbase, Well played Sir, this comes from a broker but in a different field. every fucking pun intended.
Exactly.
Handsdown Facebook is a massive monetary and startup success.
I was merely calling it a failure, to fail to deliver what it is known for. Social Networking. And it's just not facebook all other social networks. Hence the topic of this thread is named 'delusion of social networks'.
to be more precise, the facebook is no replacement to meeting in person somone, or calling over the phone.
Ah! remind of the times, he fucked up himself. Now the baby (fakestevejobs) is on the right track. chuckles to himself selfishly
Just because everyone is not making alpha releases of their products, does not mean they are not working on ground-breaking technology (which works) either. If you understand Apple, you will get my point.
I don't want to take any credit away from Google. But there is a thin line between a gimmick and something earth shattering. Unless, I practically see, the practical use of these products (by google) I am more inclined to think, they are merely cheap gimmicks.
Google at best, can replicate a feature. But sadly that trick is no longer working. read: G+ and all they have resorted to gimmicks like this.
Oh yea, I am an Apple asshole but that does not make my above point invalid.
