To say your reply to my opinion was blatantly aggressive (numerous caps) would be an understatement. Actually, I was quite positive from my point of view. I believe the security officials were acting in their capacity to do so. They treated

Let me get this straight. This is a person who has openly admitted to knowing how to hack banking systems among others, then travels to countries like Abu Dhabi and the Dominican Republic to present that information. We are surprised that h

The iPhone was initially a hit because it was the first smart phone that was really designed for the consumer. Yes, you are correct, because consumers want the bells and whistles I mentioned earlier. Apple's marketing was a success in highl

"Even Ubuntu needs an upgraded graphics card and RAM to utilize all of the bells and whistles." Bells and whistles are what makes computing fun for the average user. Why do you think the iPhone is such a hit? It's basic functionality? or th

I agreed with the article in the sense that a smaller company has seen the error of some major manufacturers' ways. My opinion was that these major manufacturers do not have the user's best interest in mind and used their PC sales as anothe

Well, you can't effectively run Mac OS X or W7 on 512 to start, the most used operating systems in the world. Even Ubuntu needs an upgraded graphics card and RAM to utilize all of the bells and whistles. As I said before, I was referring to

Big surprise, Dell, Hewlett-Packard and IBM not innovating? I can't believe it... Just look at the computers they are selling. most still offers 512M of RAM as a default. What can you run on 512? Nothing like having to upgrade the day you r

Avoiding distractions is not a physical addiction that one needs to go "cold turkey" with. If so, the user has bigger problems than information overload. Game addicts would fall into that category, not those following Twitter or any other r

You countered with "So a period of cold turkey pain is some times necessary." How does that apply to turning off your services? Doe one then seek counseling before turning them back on? Or in the case of the alcoholic, never turning them on

So the only answer to controlling ourselves is to hobble our equipment? I totally disagree. That's like saying the only way to quit drinking is to lock yourself in a room with no alcohol. Eventually you have to come out and face your proble

I totally agree and was just contemplating the same topic. Spooky. What gets me is even some of Twitter's own employees don't know how to use the service in a 100% useful manner. And you would be surprised who....Tweets like: "He said that?

If nothing else, I think we can all agree that the "China" topic can bring an emotionally heated debate and it's great to have the platform to discuss such issues. Thanks to pg for that! Forums such as these are not as common in the rest of

I cannot imagine what "quality" IT solutions you sold over here. Where did you get your HW and SW from, the IT malls run by teenagers? Internet blocking not a problem? I guess you don't read much online. It amazes me what I cannot get acces

Cost of living ain't low, unless you live in a village. Shanghai is more expensive than NY. A beer is 45RMB, and that's for a Bud, not a fancy micro. Live like a local and you forgo comfort for cost. Anything foreign or of genuine quality i

As I write this I too am having to go through a VPN to access the world. Even when it works properly, I constantly have to "play the VPN game." I really don't have the time to list out every item from jhancock that I disagree with, but pre

Slander: a malicious, false, and defamatory statement or report. Since when did calling someone on their verifiable actions become slander? When America becomes complacent to the lack of moral and ethical accountability of our CEOs and busi

Absolutely brilliant! Just start with all of the articles citing direct actions on his part. I'm sure the compilation would end any speculation as to the nature of his character, if there ever was any.

Have you heard of the phrase, "When I see a bird that walks like a duck and swims like a duck and quacks like a duck, I call that bird a duck." Well even from the beginning of Facebook, within the Harvard campus, Mark Zuckerberg has been su

I will throw my 2-cents in. My wife posted the name CCP on the Chinese version of Twitter and received an immediate message. Scared her enough to quit for good. For those who can read mandarin: http://twitpic.com/19h81p We need to push ou
