If they aren't virologists, maybe they should leave this kind of research to those that are? The headline says "Researchers Find Herpes Viruses" ...but they didn't (or cannot?) find them? Then, umm...why does it say th

You actually buy and take some kind of man-made chemical every single day to avoid getting a cold sore every month or two? Here is the list of known side-effects here (sorry about the formatting but i guess carriage returns don't trans

So why don't they try to isolate the virus itself instead of looking for RNA/DNA? Too expensive? Or impossible perhaps?

Great point. Healthy people (or any other life form) do not suddenly get sick and die. I think this is a major issue with the entire system of Western medicine. Instead of focussing on healthy diet, lifestyle, exercise, managing stress,

If they are going to use up to 26 dimensions in their theories, of what use is a machine that only senses the 4 dimensions we normally perceive? Maybe all these missing particles are in some of the other 22? I'm sorry, but I don&#x27

Good, level-headed post. Gaming is just another way to avoid real life for a little while, which is scary for almost everybody but more so for teenagers. It is also fun as hell, and builds certain skills such as reasoning and problem solv

There is only one way to study meditation. Do it. There is no Buddhist Pope that makes proclamations that you just have to accept on faith. There is no Buddhist scientific organization holding press conferences on their latest discoveries

Low intensity exercise increases the heart and breathing rate, helping the body get oxygen to its cells, get rid of toxins, and other benefits of increased circulation. These are all very important for the body and particularly the brain a

My Chromebook updates automatically about every 2 weeks or so, but last time I tried to install an Android app it still didn't work. And, yes, I do read tech news daily, get about 10 emails a day from sites like Techcrunch and so on,

Wow. Well that does suck then. But just because you emailed someone named "jeff" over there hardly means he read it..that's a stretch.

What did you do about it, and how did Amazon (and whoever else) respond to your problem? I think this is a very important question relating to whether Amazon is indeed "complicit" or not...

Wow, at least one person on the same page as me here. I just don't care what people think..."addiction" to a game and the associated anti-social and possibly self-destructive behavior is just not a disease. Or, if it is, th

Are you asking my opinion? In my opinion all companies, as well as government agencies and most other organizations, should have polite, knowledgeable, trained, and responsive customer service. At the very least, they could use email, whic

It's something though. Don't they have a more responsive online chatting thing too?

Oh totally, like for sure.

What it seems we are facing here is pure, unadulterated greed. They want to rake in billions and do the bare minimum. We, The Human Race, cannot continue to reward this behavior.

Not trying to be argumentative or anything, but newspapers and magazines have long had a similar model, but you have to pay for them. So does that 25 cents change you into the customer, even though they make way more from ads? I think it

Even some of the ancient congressmen who know nothing about technology already have figured out that Zuckerburg lied to them extensively. I hope that our representatives will start to do their jobs. It has to be a crime to lie to Congress

Customer service is the way to people's hearts. Ultimately, Facebook and some of these other companies are using bad business practices and it has to come back and hurt them eventually.

Actually, you can reach actual human representatives at Microsoft. You absolutely cannot at Facebook. I don't wanna bore anyone with my most recent story but you really can't. And I was an advertising customer too, not just a r

Yes, I've read all that stuff. But it is a step in the right direction. What happens if everyone does? Then who can they show ads too? They grew fast and they can shrink just as fast...it's happened before. You got AOL? Yaho

Do you know how much Facebook makes, on average, off each of its members?
117.
by XalvinX 8y ago
To Facebook, we are all just so much data. They just don't care. Who doesn't have a personal story or two about Facebook's indifference by now? Just...Delete Facebook. It is time.

by XalvinX 8y ago
Oh? Care to elucidate on that? What do they actually do and how do they make money besides selling a few ads on that client? Serious question I'm sure everyone here would like to know the answer to.

Exactly...they have nothing to speak of, but a lot they like to talk about. Cohen got real lucky here and if he is as smart as he is supposed to be, he will stash away a couple million of that for a rainy day. History is littered with inv

BitTorrent does what again? Yeah, I know they claim to have 100-some million users, but that's pretty easy to say. I think the buyers got a bad deal here. I have followed technology for a long time and BitTorrent has managed to get
