So you take a few edge cases and make them the example for the main stream? I doubt you should ever use Edison or Einstein to ever refer to the average person. Let alone put yourself in the same camp, you'll probably do yourself mental harm

Yep exactly my problem, but the fact is currently there is no incentive for people who make a living off promotion to post to anything but public. Infact would generally be a negative. It also becomes complex when people are friends and pro

OK heres ones example. I have a good friend who is a dance music promoter. He throws shows once or twice a week, and big ones every month. He posts like crazy. He is one friend, I have at a guess around 30 people involved in doing roughly j

Nope circles are a joke for me. I have venn diagram problem where lots of my friends belong circles in multiple circles. Lots of them are in advertising agencies, journalists, musicians, all people that self promote themselves as a living.

You say that like you don't have an ancestor room in your house :) I also refute any study involving only 150 people to describe human nature.

Safari 5 on OSX Lion is terrible. I'm usually a safari fan, but since upgrading last week nothing but trouble. Opened Chrome and Firefox a few times instead but I'm to accustomed to Safari now... and admittedly the gestures are AWESOME. I w

Android is Java based ... Minecraft is java based ... seems only logical Android is first. I don't really see it going to any other OS myself... maybe the Win7 phone when the xbox version is completed. I bet that payment from Sony was to co

No it reflects national pride. Samsung and LG are both Korean, and I bet that 95% figure is mostly those two companies.

What marginal platform are you talking about? you know its available on Macs, PC, Xbox, and Android right? You seem way off point with your analysis. Seems they are actively moving across every major platform.

Software patents don't exist in my country. I could be blocked from trading in the states, but thats not my market anyway so I couldnt' care less. I just read these threads because of morbid fascination. I truly don't understand the america

But if reporting is to be believed Google is struggling to hire and keep talent, and there hiring approach has been heavily criticised for encouraging 'generic' and 'average' employees. The entire truth behind that I can't comment on myself

You just made me realise it will be a total disaster. Because Google aren't buying the entirety of Motorola, they are buying the cellphone/consumer division of the company. Hence if the clever ploys are true which John Gruber alluded too, t

I read the whole thing buy out as extremely ominous. The size of motorola mobility (if I read it correctly) was larger than Google. It has the potential to destroy Google from a logistical stand point, tie it up in so much red tape that it

MS spent $9.5 billion of R&D in 2010, I would say they have a fairly decent lab, even if a portion is outsourced (or sponsored university projects). And free involves things being free. Having to pay MS (and maybe Apple soon) every time

You might want to look up free in the dictionary. Last time I read an article on the cost of producing Android devices Microsoft was making a very healthy profit from each device. Guess it pays to have an R & D lab and a few lawyers. Al

Thats the same thought I had. After some thought on my latest project I wrote a membership provider for the .net frame work to specifically handle this. I decided I wanted single sign and opted for oauth via Facebook (maybe more later). I u

I don't think so. If someone is spamming a thread they are over posting, I view it the same way. I can remember at one point having 200 Facebook emails in one day. Tell me that isn't spam. I often hear people moanign abuot 'Facebook spam' a

My EDIT: Most of them use posting tools, like ping.fm. So all networks are spammed equally. They just use social networks as spam aggregation tools ----------------------------------------- LOL I used twitter for a while, but I found it ver

Well I'm thankful I closed my Google+ account now. The wave of mass spamming was completely relentless ... even after I closed my account. I literally disabled emails (to prevent the wave of spam I was hite with), then I decided to leave, a

The problem I discovered is the iPad is very contextual to the user. It sort of adapts to your style way more than any othe device I've ever used. I use mine completely different to friends and my parents. I also found I only consume media

While I'm an open critic of Google I don't think in this case its a breach of that motto. Maybe a failure to disclose obligations to users. Most people would understand the real culprit is the government. Microsoft and Amazon space there da

I went to a talk years ago by Microsoft just after they had opened some new data centres. The MS presenter showed a government data centre dab smack in-between MS, Google, and Yahoo!. I can't remember the complex name, it was near a hydro d

OK thanks once again, got it work. Decided to keep using my previous dispatcher to handle webdav verbs, plus I've already written exception handlers and stuff. Great result for me :)
