Re:The End of the Facebook Era on Wednesday May 19, 2010 @01:45PM (#1361705)
I sincerely doubt this is going to be the end of the Facebook era. There are way too many people using the service and only a tiny fraction of them are going to delete their profiles anytime soon.

I think it's pretty obvious that once you put your photos on your Facebook (or other social media channel) profile they are pretty much public. I don't really understand why people would upload sensitive information about themselves in the first place.
Re:Steve Jobs’ Email Debate With Gawker Blogger on Wednesday May 19, 2010 @01:40PM (#1361684)
This was simply an EPIC email exchange! The blogger made some really good points there. And Steve kept his cool remarcably well, until the end. It kind of makes you wish he hadn't pulled that "what have you done that's so great" card.
Re:Twitter's Alex Payne quits, heads onto something new. on Wednesday May 19, 2010 @01:37PM (#1361676)
That's a huge leap for him. It's true, it doesn't sound to dependable, but it might be worth the risk in the end.

This is just like Farmville, but in real life :)) No, seriously, great concept. Maybe more people will find it easier to eat health thanks to this.

Best of luck! Fabrice Talbot

Re:Web 3.0: The Semantic Web, a short film on Tuesday May 11, 2010 @07:02AM (#1337454)
I just shared the video on Twitter and LinkedIn. Great, informative video, if you ask me. It depicts both points of view.

However, I do agree that the word "semantic" has become too much of a buzzword and most people aren't really aware of it's true meaning.

Re:China drops Dropbox on Tuesday May 11, 2010 @06:59AM (#1337450)
Well, China just got even more amazing. I don't think the Chinese people were very affected by Google leaving. But DropBox is a very useful tool. I'm not sure it has any remarcable competititors that can relevantly fill the gap.
I agree, Flash is running pretty well on the Nexus One. This is only one of it's great features. I think I've fallen in love a bit with the Android 2.1 platform. It didn't crush once, in about 3 months.
Please tell me this was a joke :) However it reminded me of this parody: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=odBDAcOEKuI
Re:Wikipedia's getting a new look on Tuesday May 11, 2010 @06:53AM (#1337438)
I don't know, I'm pretty ok with the way the editor is now. Maybe I've just grown accustomed to it.
