Depends. At the bottom of the page did it have a "Like" icon, and the words "432 of your friends like this page, you should too?" If it did, you're already on that list.

Realistically, burglars prefer to rob houses where people aren't. My guess is that very few burglars sit around scanning all of the (52 x 52 x 52 x 52 x 52 x 52) possibilities of Longitude.me directories (assuming they just use case se

Well, while I agree with the spirit of what your saying, 100%, I do disagree with his argument not making sense. Everything you're suggesting would be illegal, because the person would be defacing public property. There's a clear

Do you think that's the expressed intended reaction or an unintended result? My guess is it would be difficult to find any piece of document where it states something along the lines of "The goal of this program is to make this co

Given the number of people that missed it, I kinda think the government could flat out issue statements that "We are in fact watching everything you do" and just hide it in enough nuance that no one knows any better. They likely a

It'd be great if there were a number of "Huh? Doesn't everyone do this?" comments at 12am PST. (east coasters were already in their second sleep by the time it was posted)

Seems like a lot of guess work. I fear I'd be doing something wrong just by trying to figure out whether or not the other person was gay. So a straight guy can say to another straight guy "Hey man you have a nice ass?" without legal repercu

Well, I think the idea is that the link Gawker released initially was the one that got passed around the most and posted on facebook page, twitter, etc. ( I know I posted it. ) As a result, I believe that would also be the URL that ranks hi

I half wonder if PJ has just spent so much time seeing his movies as they are being made,that he's frustrated that audiences don't see them -that way-... maybe on set is normal for him, and in order to get the audience to see "normally"...

Just a personal 48FPS testimonial here... For some reason I found myself at an IATSE event. IATSE is a union for motion picture professionals. At the end, they projected a scene, once in 24fps, the second time in 48fps. 48fps looked "real

One of my favorite things about this is its presentation. You've placed your app in something that people lust after (a macbookair) and then something 'cool' inside of that (x-men). Probably more compelling than a screen shot of a spreadsh

I wasn't under the impression that advertising (for a company like GM) was supposed to "work" in any easily measurable way. Especially not $10million of a budget which, though undefined, is clearly large if they are trying to cut $2 billion

I wonder if the negative reaction to this is just a result of scale. Most people I know do everything they can, both legally and questionably, in order to minimize their tax liability. (And they actually live in the United States.)

I think it's a combination of a number of factors that make this appearance different from will.i.am. a. As the person above me mentioned, Tupac is dead, but not only that, his death is considered (by some) to be fake, so his "appearance" s

My understanding is that the team at Digital Domain (pirates of the caribbean, Jeff Bridges in Tron) modeled the body, and then used mo-cap on an actor who did the "performance".
