How can you use social networks sites, such as Quora (to pick a site du jour) to advance your career, if you're old and crotchety, spacey, not real well informed on much of anything, smart alecky, reclusive, overly emotional, and easily upset? Folk like that have to have incomes too, so saying we're out of luck is not an acceptable answer.

Why can't we all just get along? We don't all have to like each other, just tolerate each other and respect each other's rights.

TweetAttacks gives the time remaining till the next task starts in thousands of a second. Do we really need that level of accuracy? The display is only updated every half second or so.

Is the part of war that's supposedly good for the economy the destruction of objects, environmental damage, or killing and injuring people? If the supposed benefit comes from destroying things, wouldn't it be simpler and cheaper just to take pickaxes and sledgehammers to everything you see and wait for the wealth to flow in?

You ever fill up a text entry box like the one I'm using to enter this text in right now, look at what you've written and said "Sheesh, what a bunch of crap that is, no one will like it or know what I'm driving at", then delete it?

My dad had playboys around, along with the New Yorker's and other magazine. I liked the Gahan Wilson cartoons in the Playboys. If memory serves, Charles Addams was in New Yorker. - You from Bookmarklet

Sigh, when are we going to have light emitting nano paint, that you spray on anything, and then the particles tell each other where they are and notify nearby devices there's a new display available?

I agree with Logical. StumbleUpon is an excellent approximation of this, if you set everything correctly.

Are there any spherical touch screen devices?
Seems like that would be difficult to view.
- Kevin L
Viewing spheres is no special challenge, looking at a beach ball is no harder than looking at anything else. Spherical displays would tend to roll away. A spherical display could sit in a holder like a trackball sphere does. Or maybe a big one would just sit on the floor, and you could roll it from room to room.

That friendfeed development was abandoned, while work continues on stuff like Angry Birds, shows how silly it is to have any hope for the world at all.

If Google was a person, would you have gotten mad at them and yelled at them or punched them? If the answer is punch, would it have been a moderate intensity shoulder punch or an "as hard as I can manage" jab to the nose?
We're not required to pay income taxes to 99.5 percent of the governments in the world. I propose a modest .5 percent increase in that number.
