Here comes the man hug express! *hug* - Andrew Dobrow

Luk atz mai uid! - Yuvi

I guess this is technically an LOLHuman. - Andrew Dobrow

awww - Bryn Youngblut

Panda's are quite possibly the most absurd looking animal second only to the duck billed platypus. It is for this reason that I <3 dem. - Geoff Schultz {TF}

Kungfu Panda is showing his sensitive side! :) - imabonehead

Been there, done that. Many, many, many years ago, we brought computers to a week-long music festival just so we could play games. - Akiva

Akiva, you went to burning man? Sweet! Tell all... - Pete D

Hah, no. It was a regional festival. - Akiva

That guy needs to ditch his eMachines and get a MacBook Air. - Louis Gray

What in the hell resolution is he running at? The IE icon takes up the entire screen. - Akiva

I wonder what battery he used... - Ming Tsai

He's writing "e"-mail - Morton Fox

.LOLz - .LAG liked that

Wiindows Fit - Jemm

L ... O ... L - Mike Reynolds

LOL that would be my bf! - Brandy Lea

Dude. Get a Shuttle case at least. - Cyndy

Heavy pc and crt, ok, but the subwoofer too? You know how heavy those things are? This would work in space maybe. - Josh Haley

And I wonder where it's getting powered from. Is there an extension cord behind him, or maybe he's got a generator attached to his feet? - Costa Walcott

But which way would it point? Or should there be two, one aimed at his face, and one on the visor of his hat, to see what he can see? - Ladyepiphanybug

It's a 'Trojan Horse'!! The hollowed out tower contains 8 Macbook Airs, 25 iPhones, a G1™[product placement by Google] and a handful of Newtons - just waiting to be deployed! - Micah

There is a distinct lack of cup holder. - Rochelle

True... where does the Mountain Dew go? Or coffee or Jolt Cola or whatever caffeinated substance he drinks? - Ladyepiphanybug

Rochelle: thats what the CD Drive tray is for. - Roberto Bonini

hehe - Kamilah Reed (K. Gill)

Hmm, needs more counter-balances on the front. Right now it's just a touch off-center. :D - i80and

WIN! - TheHenry

COOL! :d - selma hurkan

That's terrific! It's funny how Hillary still loses states she 'wins' (Texas and Nevada, I'm lookin' at you) - Kevin Fox

Sure, but I tend to think of that as extreme recklessness on the part of the press. Certainly, in the case of her loss in Texas, there was no reason to report that she 'won'. Not quite sure how that happened. - j1m

And I think this paradox Kevin mentions hi-lights the strength of Obama's campaign. HRC has been conducting a pretty traditional primary campaign. Obama is running away with it thanks to some new-fangled ideas. - Shellee

Yes. He's good at winning elections, in a way we haven't seen since at least Reagan. - j1m

Go Ana! - Jim Norris

Oh yeah! I guess that means Ana's really 2 for 4, not 0 for 4, right? - Kevin Fox

Thanks for the Saturday delegate update Chris. - Mike Reynolds

@Carla And I credit, you, Shellee and Kelly with Texas, so there :-) - Chris Reed

@Mike No problem... Having fun with my crackberry on the convention floor . - Chris Reed

ouch. - Alfredo 亜瑠布れっど

Happens to me all the time LOL - Mona Nomura

One reason why I don't use facebook. - Brandon Titus

LOL... this has happened to me a couple of times. Worse still when we decided to go to Hawaii and did not let some of our relatives know about it. They found out about it via Facebook! - Bindu Reddy

hahahahahah - Shevonne

LOL - Dobromir Hadzhiev

Me on the flip, I miss out on all the invites because I won't waste my time on Facebook, then I get, "Well, if you read my posts..." - Anika

I think I'm gonna do that today - bust out all my friends. OMG I HAVE THE BEST ONE BRB - Mona Nomura

My response to Emily: Because my activities aren't dictated by when you want to talk to me. - ·[▪_▪]·

I just busted my friend out: http://img.skitch.com/2009030... - Mona Nomura

LMAO!!!! LOLOLOLOLO - Rah-PM 2012

Same here...I haven't checked my FB Inbox in over a month, and honestly, it'll probably be another month before I check it again. - Derrick

Another one - I'm being a FB troll today: http://img.skitch.com/2009030... and another http://img.skitch.com/2009030... - Mona Nomura

You HAD to bust him. hahaha - Shevonne

"It is important to note that not every single person on the internet is American." - Neither do we all drive on the right. :^) - Nick B.

This is hilarious. - Josh Haley

That will teach her. - Meryn Stol

oops! - Sarah Perez

I wouldn't disable my DM, because I do get some that are legit. I think this is going to be a social persuasion. Maybe we need some folks to start a new convention of unfollowing those who send out these automated DMs. Unfollowing is the worst fear of these automated DM types. - Hutch Carpenter

Twitter should allow users to opt out of DMs altogether. I tend to unfollows accounts that send auto-DMs, it immediately diminishes their value to me. Too impersonal -- not what I use Twitter for. I know where your website I'd but I'd prefer to receive your updates via Twitter. Imagine if every RSS feed began with a form letter pitch... - Andy Sternberg from fftogo

Good analogy on the blog RSS feed subscriptions. And if I've taken the time to look at your tweets and the link on your bio, you don't need to send me anything else. Just keep on tweetin'. - Hutch Carpenter

I don't know why this pisses people off so much. The furor over the DMs to me is more annoying than the DMs themselves. I just don't like the boring pseudo-sincere "let me know how I can help you" ones. I use one and dig it. - Steve Isaacs

Spams are everywhere! XD - Esther

It's annoying in the way spam email is annoying. My Gmail spam filter saves me from dealing with the spam deluge, but does nothing for these spam DMs. - Hutch Carpenter

i think if your twitter account is a business, it's a perfect opportunity to link a new follower to something useful to them - Nathan Chase

LD - SocialToo lets you auto DM? I just use it for stats, not that. - Hutch Carpenter

Nathan - I agree that a link to something useful is fine. Say I tweet about something, and you have a link that is relevant. @ or DM me. But how do you know what's relevant with an automated DM after following? - Hutch Carpenter

If you have one of the "let me know how..." ones, I will let you know, and if you ignore my @, I'm just going to drop you. To use auto-dm to begin convo = not bad, but to not continue convo = fail - Michelle Darnell

@Hutch - for instance, if you follow Flickchart (my startup) on Twitter, it auto-follows and responds with. "Thanks for checking us out! Be sure to sign up for our beta to get your invite soon! - http://www.flickchart.com" - does that seem annoying or misplaced? - Nathan Chase

Agreed. Twitter should review this. It's becoming an epidemic. It diminishes my impression of someone immediately. - Seamus Condron

Nathan - that seems OK. I mean, I'm following a company (Flickchart), so I'd be interested in getting a beta. But there are a lot of marketing types and life coaches who fire these things off. Often after they've followed me and I follow back. Wasn't expecting to get spammed in that transaction. - Hutch Carpenter

I actually don't need DMs at all. If someone wants to contact me privately they can follow the link to my website and contact me through it. It seems that it would be very easy for Twitter to add a "Disable DMs feature." - Keith - @tsudo

SocialToo can help you block many automatic DMs. http://www.socialtoo.com - Louis Gray

Louis: You mean if I join SocialToo I can tell it to not send me auto DMs from other SocialToo users, or is there something more sophisticated? - Ken Sheppardson

I use an auto DM to send silly phrases to people when they follow me. It's the "let's tweet soon" ones that grate my cheese. - Jonathan Hardesty

Ken, it will block DMs from SocialToo users and TweetLater users, for starters. - Louis Gray

What is the biggest complaint about DM's? Is it the links? Number of DM's you get a day? I use an automated DM to aid in being cordial. I got the following DM this morning and thought it was a good one, "Checked out your profile and you are an amazing person! Keep it up!" - Damond Nollan

I didn't even know you could setup auto-DMs...awww and here I was so happy everytime someone wrote to me ;) - Dennis Bjørn Petersen from twhirl

I can't stand those who send a DM to invite me to become "friends" on Facebook, I've only known of your existence for a whole minute and are we supposed to be "friends"? Mind you, I received a message from someone on Diigo who is looking for a husband and I thought it was a social bookmarking site. - M F

What if it's just a simple "thanks for following me" message and not a link or sales pitch? - Mattb4rd

@Matt, I hate those "thanks for following me" messages just as much as the automatic sales pitches. If someone wants to "thank" me for following them, then follow me back. Or, if that person followed me first, there's no need to do anything. - Joey Gibson

LOL looks like? - The Real sofarsoShawn

omg - Erin @queenofspain

Jesus, must have been the horse that got her leg. Don't f with this chick! - SteVe C

@Bwana HAHAHA +1 - Alfredo 亜瑠布れっど

I hope the horse eats her other legs, the one with that pink furry boot - Mike Nayyar

That's seriously better than the Sleestak-in-a-gym from earlier. PONY! - Jennifer Dittrich

It rubs the lotion on it's mane, or else it gets the hose again. - Josh Haley

My entire office said WTF! - Eric

+2.3 Josh - SteVe C

trapdoor horse is watching you masturbate - Cee Bee

Wow, wtf indeed! - Chieze Okoye

That's disturbing - the horse - BEX

@Cecily: or maybe Ubuntu??? ;) - Jason Shultz from twhirl

Why not Linux?? Because someone will type "sudo rm -rf /" in the terminal... - James Fridley

Ya and how many people in the White House would know the root password. Anyone who knew it would be smart enough not to do that. - Sweyn Venderbush

I can't think of a worse gift. - Kevin Bondelli

Fortunately for my fiancée, I don't plan on ever dying. I dunno about the rest of you, but I'm getting a cybernetic body as soon as I can afford one. - Chris Charabaruk

Gawd, I'm getting all teary, this is so romantic. Nothing says, "Honey, I'm having an affair and may have to kill you" like this affordable gift. - Jack&Cleo

+1 Jack - Kevin Bondelli

LOL - Christian (Simply X)

For realz; after all she will dress him up in her love; that is what is in vogue, so papa, don't preach and instead be a ray of light cause you know Jason is crazy for you - RAPatton

first of all, what, I can't listen to classic Material Girl sometimes? Second, y'all stupid. - Jason Toney

LOL at this thread, and just played the first half of the Immaculate Collection, and I'm totally not one of those Madonna Gays. - Derrick

I really wish Bill Hicks was around today, he'd have a fantastic time with the internet.. imagine Bill Hicks + youtube! - alphaxion

I love Bill Hicks with all of my black heart - Toby Graham
