Australia here, definitely wouldn't catch on (IMHO). Nearly everyone I know just has 1 major card, their primary bank card, which works as a debit and credit card in 1. Some people (like myself) have a 2nd card, a credit card for major

I pretty much owe my career in tech to those programs. We were too poor for internet, but dad had a work computer at home. Fake CCs kept me online and let me upload the HTML pages I'd made offline, and chat to people who taught me ever

Mid 2011 27" iMac and a ~8mth old Win7 PC. I generally upgrade every 2 years, just not impressed by the new iMacs enough to replace my current one (did SSD upgrade to current one + 16GB RAM, earlier this year).

Add Sustagen to that list, who make meal replacement shakes, including a medically certified "hospital formula" used by hospitals and health services as a full time long term meal replacement. Very popular here in Australia and av

Looks to me more like someone sold a few bags of weed to friends and got lost in his delusions of being a runner, and made the rest up to try impress people.

Word Lens is one of those apps I show people to blow their mind at where technology is up to these days. It's a serious "we're in the future" moment every time I use it.

Adblock isn't doing it, definitely Ghostery, so looks like either they detect Ghostery and hide the article if you have it (the rest of the page shows up, just not the article content/text)... or Ghostery thinks their text is a tr
