Old News. That was the first thing anyone did when they got the game genie.

I didn't disagree with that statement. I'm just explaining why Facebook wants users to "share" more data. What is your explanation for why facebook removed the ability to make your profile picture private to non-friends?

The more content is private the fewer pages of targeted advertising Facebook will serve. So if everything was private facebook would make less money. By tricking users into making more information public they get more hits and get more opp

The most effective argument is that it is a "Gateway Drug". There is no proof that weed makes people use crack or heroin but it is a good way to scare the public.

In the article they explain it is more like wine than a standard commodity. After legalization you will end up with everything from cheap mass produced quality up to artisan award winning products with a wide range of prices.

Someone needs to create a standardized Social Network file. Then users could "download their facebook" then upload it to another social network.

Interesting, However I trust my wife way more than I trust a 'company' that may or may not get bought by someone that wants to reinterpret my pre-nup to determine if it is iron clad enough to invalidate their right to half my stuff

I randomly had an OK magazine app installed. I don't remember going to that page, it must have been a link off of Google news.

They controlled for IQ, but they didn't control for desire. Some people want to make good grades for pride, to impress their parents, etc.. Others would rather do something other than the busy work required to be in the 94th percentile as

"Into thin Air" showed how easy it can be if everything goes well. He talks about people who were out of shape making it. But if one or two things go wrong, you're dead.

Clearly this is an automated process. No one at Google has done research to determine who you have dated. It is possible that your parent, or friend or neighbor has done searches about both of them. For example, an old friend may be curio

Interesting rant, however you have not explained why you think Union Teachers are better than non union teachers at educating children? Tax payers pay taxes so that children in their communities get a good education. Why would tax payers

FB will get a share of ad revenue from a 3rd party application that Bob installs. That application will have access to my picture that I set to "only Bob". You can blame Bob for being the middle man, or me for not reading the fine print in

By private I mean when I upload a picture and set the privacy to "only Bob" It makes me think that Bob is the only person who has access to this picture.

From FB point of view they have 2 options. 1. Go back to the 2007 FB and keep most people happy, and lose the ability to sell private data. 2. Lose 10-25% of users and monetize everyone else's data.

There is more than one exchange. If you see a Bid of 10$ come up on the NYSE you can put in a bid of 9.99 on another exchange and if that order gets filled you can then turn around and try to match that bid of $10 on the NYSE if you are fa

Front-Running is currently a legal tactic in trading. GS seems to be very efficient at it. And the 1/8th point higher you have to pay when you buy a stock isn't that much anyways.

Good article, I WFH and I think my peak productivity would be if I was going into the office 1-3 days a week. One benefit to the employer he didn't mention is lower salary. I have had opportunities to move to jobs with 20% more pay but it

I don't understand why you would plug a battery charger into a USB port? How many people don't have an extra power plug, but do have a laptop that they are going to let run for hours to charge their AA batteries.

You are correct, he didn't do a poll to find out what percentage of black people would only go to OKCupid after failing at those others he mentions. So basically this discussion is pointless until this poll is done.

On Digg I have noticed that the top rated comments are pretty good. There are a few top comments that are obvious rebuttals to trolls but the original troll comments are not in the top comments. I would rather not see the troll or the reb

Like what Gmail did to all the e-mail provider/administrators who said anything over a 100MB Inbox was too expensive.

You are correct. It doesn't matter, if someone is getting nothing done you can fire them unless their performance is due to a medical issue. I was referring to the people who get very little done. Other companies would love to hire only Go
