Good. I can't friggin stand Sony's business practices, and I hope they crash and burn. They're predatory, arrogant, and self-congratulating. Always a new proprietary device or technology that they will attempt to shove down everyone's thro

I think a certain cynicism has developed/is developing in social network users. Certainly almost a great deal of my peers have come to a state where they generally loathe facebook and merely tolerate G+. In fact, it seems that the only ma
