“Premonition 2.0”
Premonition 2.0
8 hours ago - via NoiseRiver - Link
I don't want a social life. - Kaia is a party pooper.
Can't lose something that you didn't have to begin with. (I mean the general "you"). - Helen Hoefele
If you use it incorrectly, or you don't pay attention to how you're using it (which many probably are), then yes, this might be true. But if you continue to value the people around you and human interaction, then this isn't true. Just my two cents. - Kate Brodock via twhirl
Not having a social life is what got me into computers in the first place... - Jason R. Hunter
Internet communities are a social life (as was "pen pals" in a previous age). Does it really matter if you meet people "in person"? If so, perhaps we'll have more FriendFeed gatherings in the future. FlyerTalk.com people regularly have "DO"s around the world. ~200 of my Facebook friends are dance/Burning-Man friends who dance/party every week. - Mitchell Tsai
Having a social life never did anything good for me. I like my online peeps much better. - Bec
If I didn't have an online life I wouldn't have a life offline. All the people I know and like I've met online. My friend/coworker only lives in MD because she met her boyfriend online. I met the partner-in-crime online. I found a dog breeder online... - Nine (sawsome aus)
Wait, so we're not being social right now? - Mona N.
Yes. This is antisocial media. Now git offa mah lawn. - Nine (sawsome aus)
Mona apparently not?! huh?! :*) - Susan Beebe
I've been online for so long, I can actually tell how a person is in real life by the way the conduct themselves online. And truth be told, I prefer my online friends since it's a collective folks with similar interests. - Mona N.
It can still be a real surprise meeting an on-line friend for the first time. Screechy voice. Unusual accents. Very different look from pictures. Surprise about height. Depending on the person, some people are easier to get-to-know on-line...others are much easier to connect with in person. - Mitchell Tsai
I met my wife online. We've been together over ten years. - Ian Hussein Maverick May
What social life???? - Amit Morson
This sounds like a fun game, Mona. Guess my age and weight and win the prize! - Daniel J. Pritchett
THE FUTURE OF! Now get off my entry! You associal folks! :) - directeur
Scientific American (Sep 2008?) suggested that the "increased information sharing" in Facebook and other social media may produce a "primitive society" or "small town" effect where the community knows most of what's happening - for better or for worse. Their view was very old-school - concerned about allowing people the "opportunity to reinvent themselves" and running away from (concealing) a past where they badly f**ked up. - Mitchell Tsai

It might be a $160 million super yacht but it's as ugly as sin. - Toby Graham
Oh and am I supposed to feel sorry for the owner? - I'm not - Toby Graham
From the article and the photos it appears the clumsy captain tried to sail away from the scene and got chased by the Coast Guard. "Sir, could you furl your sails and heave to?" "What? Why? I didn't do nothing!" - Kevin D. White
@ toby lol no you are supposed to feel horrified for the yahoo sailing the 40 footer! - Marco (aureliusmaximus)
Marco - all I could think was I hope he has a good/understanding insurance company! - Toby Graham
I've been trying to imagine how awful that whole scenario must have felt for that guy - even if they were clipping along at a decent pace things had to have unfolded in slow mo to some degree - i am guessing he saw it coming a good ways off and was powerless to stop it. - Marco (aureliusmaximus)

“o m g. First it was Zoe, now i get called Zen...it's Zee people...Z E E. It's only 2 actual different letters. grrrr.....”
October 7 at 11:07 am - via Ping.fm - Link
Sorry about that, Zon. - Yolanda
Whatever you say Zea. - Alex "Chameleon" Scoble
People make too many tiny mistales, Zohan - Outsanity
Where I'm from, we pronounce your name "Chuck"...or "Zed". - Stephen Pierzchala
I Zee, said the blind man. - Sean McGee
Chill out zed. - Not Not Geoff Schultz
You're right, Zed. It's rude to call someone by a different name! FOR SHAME ON EVERYONE! :-D - Mattie Kenny
Also, I feel your pain. I get called Maggie and Matty a lot. - Mattie Kenny
Damn are we a bunch of smart asses or what? It is these simple, silly posts that crack me up. I'm so easily amused. - Yolanda
If they get my name wrong it's either Cain or lately, Kanye. - Cains
the thing is my real name is Ziad - the whole reason why i've used Zee since i was like 12 and have lived on the side of the world is to make it easier for people to pronounce, spell & remember...And now i get this! :) - Zee from WeDoCreative
Zee like Zee and moose? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v... - Denis
Zowey! - JodyUnwired
Whatever Zeq...sometimes it's hard to remember that it's Zep....I mean accidents happen. Ok, "I pledge to correctly spell your name at all times lest I be smacked in the head." Happy now, Zie? Jeesh... - Live4Soccer
working with a bunch of comedians here... :) - Zee from WeDoCreative
And to make you feel better, I'm mononymous (meaning I have only one name instead of a traditional first and last name), screws up applications all the time. - Cains
no.way...that's incredible! how do you get one of those! :) - Zee from WeDoCreative
Um Mattie...what's the difference between Mattie and Matty? - Alex "Chameleon" Scoble
You can do it by deed poll but only a handful of people have, I remember Teller from Penn & Teller is his only name but they had to give him the initials NFN (no first name) just so they could process his application. - Cains
Gee it's not that hard us it? - chet
I know what you mean! I get called ZulEEEma and I cry inside. My name rhymes with dilemma :) - zoblue (Zulema ❤'s you) via fftogo
You could always change your name to ZedPM or ZPM... Stargate-ophiles would lurv that. :) I can't even count the amount of misses to my name, so don't worry, happens to a lot of folks! Just carry a nerf bat. hehe - Arlan Koizumi
@Zulema - I would never ever have guessed you pronounced your name like dilemma. It has to be hard when your name isn't spelled like it's pronounced. - Lindsay Donaghe
no problem, we finally got it @Lee, thanks for telling us ;) - denise
I've had lots of people call me "Ted" on FF. :) - Tad - the Meme Maker
lol Denise...there i was looking through comments for Lee :) - Zee from WeDoCreative
I shall call you Zoey - Pete Delucchi
Can I call you 'Bill'? - Soup
My daughter's name is ZZ ... I feel your pain. - Clay Newton
Zee pearl iz in Zee river - Josh Haley
Zee will do :) - Zee from WeDoCreative
how about zeezoo? :P - embee
zeezo is actually what i got called as a little kid funnily enough :) - Zee from WeDoCreative

Mostly on Hulu. I don't have a TV (at least with cable). Also I watch lots of HBO shows on DVD. - Chris Messina
Either I catch Indian television on the TV (analog cable sucks!) or for western shows I turn to torrents. - Rahul Das
+1 Rahul. - Yuvi
background noise in the hotel room CNN or BBC - tagami
At home via satellite link. Also torrents for the latest series. - Mo J.
at home, mostly 720p HD .mkv files. :) - roel
Haven't watched something on an actual TV for at least 2 or 3 years. But in terms of TV shows--torrents for me. I wish Hulu worked in Aus. - David Adam
Digital over the air to my tv or to SageTV. - Roberto Bonini
These companies are missing a huge opportunity imo. I'm willing to support their monetised method of providing TV via the web, but instead I'm literally forced to take the illegal route. (Well, I presume Hulu is monetised via ads- I wouldn't know though as I can't use it) - David Adam
Hulu, if they make it available immediately, or showcase, otherwise eztv.it... - timedalkat via twhirl
From the article: "Also, with your next update for your Xbox 360, you’ll also have access to another option to access Netflix streaming. MediaMall Technologies has a media server app, PlayOn, in beta that lets PS3 and Xbox 360 owners stream from online services on their device. This gives you many more options to watch the shows you want, with the quality you’ve come to expect." - Faboo Mama
That's great to know. We don't really watch TV. As of now, we DVR The Office and will do the same when LOST starts again. Otherwise, Hulu, DVDs and torrents have been our friends. It's much better watching episodes back to back opposed to the old model of TV watching. - Faboo Mama
I only watch 1.5 hours a week: True Blood and Entourage - Denis
Phone is OK in a pinch (stuck on a plane, for example). Internet is fine for shorter stuff. I try to limit TV shows to 1-2 per season. Mostly I like to watch movies. But when I do want to watch, I prefer it to be an immersive experience, so it's most likely on a big screen with surround sound. - £ogical €xtremes
Don't really watch a great deal of TV. I watch some football, documentaries and current affair stuff now and then plus shows like Heroes. I've used BBC iPlayer a few times but picture quality is low (though it is a great service!). - Kol Tregaskes
If the Mr. has the tv on, and if I'm around, I sometimes get snared, but I don't watch tv otherwise. Since we work different shifts and don't have the same days off, I have proven to be very elusive prey; the bedroom tv will turn itself on in an attempt to trap me. - MiniMage LightBlueRanger
Hulu, network sites, or download something I may have missed that's not shown on the internet. I barely watch the actual TV unless it's a video game on the screen. - Outsanity
Using DVR on my 50" TV. - Alex "Chameleon" Scoble
on my 37" TV or online. no ability to record anything. that's annoying at times but in the long run, probably for the best. i already watch more TV than i should. - .·*♥pea♥*·.
don't have a tv -- just two 25" iMacs. mega and i watch everything on pbs.org, surfthechannel.com, and hulu. - J450N
I ended up with a 56 or 57 inch tv (its a long story) with the exception of the sci-fi channel on Tuesdays and Fridays and FSC/GoalTV over the weekends I don't use it that much. - J. Abdul-Qahhar
Hulu, youtube, NBC online. We don't have cable. We watch football on the weekends with rabbit ears. - Laura Norvig
Internet only. 'Illegal sources' included. - Zu aka ElijahBailey
DirecTV and online including Hulu, NBC, ABC & Fox - David Ward
Only Briefly at BestBuy, to check on the Bronco's Game. - Paul W. Swansen
Movies on cable (I like TCM). The rest on Hulu. If I could find another way to get TCM delivered to me I'd probably cancel my cable. - Al Stevens
mostly on DVR, including football, which I start watching 20-30 minutes in so I can skip commercials. - Stephanie•CogSciLibrarian
I stream it online: Hulu, alluc.org, or sidereel.com b/c my toddler takes over the tv in the evenings :) Tho, when Lost begins again we'll have to figure something out b/c that shows gets my full attention :) I sometimes do torrents but it's rare. - zoblue (Zulema ❤'s you)
I download tv episodes.. Because in my country each season appears 2 months later aprox. - Leandro Ardissone via Alert Thingy

Life in Zimbabwe - Wait for Useless Money
Life in Zimbabwe - Wait for Useless Money
October 4 at 8:52 am - via Bookmarklet - Link
"HARARE, Zimbabwe — Long before the rooster in their dirt yard crowed, Rose Moyo and her husband rolled out of bed. “It is time to get up,” intoned the robotic voice of her cellphone. Its glowing face displayed the time: 2:20 a.m. They crept past their children sleeping on the floor of the one-room house — Cinderella, 9, and Chrissie, 10 — and took their daily moonlit stroll to the bank. The guard on the graveyard shift gave them a number. They were the 29th to arrive, all hoping for a chance to withdraw the maximum amount of Zimbabwean currency the government allowed last month — the equivalent of just a dollar or two. Zimbabwe is in the grip of one of the great hyperinflations in world history. The people of this once proud capital have been plunged into a Darwinian struggle to get by. Many have been reduced to peddlers and paupers, hawkers and black-market hustlers, eating just a meal or two a day, their hollowed cheeks a testament to their hunger." - Cee Bee via Bookmarklet

@Denis yes I know but it seems if you wait a second or two and try a refresh it comes back - I'm on the wire with hosting (idiots) support to get it fixed - Steven Hodson
Steven, talk about irony -- your post is about knee-jerk Microsoft hate and I just assumed it was more of the same because I'm so used to people slamming them. Good post. - Sprague D
MS bashing has all the marks of peer pressure among the tech blog industry. If you like Vista or think MS is doing something good then you don't get to be one of those cool, rebellious Mac folks. I am all for people using whatever OS they enjoy and are comfortable with but the knee jerk mindless Vista / MS bashing just makes some writers look like idiots... but they are idiots with massive page ranks :) - Soulhuntre
damn, I find myself agreeing with Soulhuntre. And I use Vista. Yikes. Time to retire from the tech blogging business. - Robert Scoble
Soulhuntre, more irony -- those who pontificate from inside their iBubble have next to nothing to say to the vast majority of tech consumers. The first big name tech blogger who bucks the trend and breaks out of the narrow niche they inhabit will gain more audience than they can imagine. Talk about serving an unmet need. - Sprague D
@Sprague Personally I think that the average person doesn't care about technology, they just want a magic box that gives them free videos, porn, vijda games, a way to talk to their friends and occasionally bitch about movies. Other than that they could care less about who makes it or how it works (or doesn't). - Sam Levine
Sam, I agree average users are not any tech blogger's target. I'm talking about the millions of technical people who use Microsoft OSs and non-Apple smartphones whose needs and interests are not represented in the tech blogosphere nearly enough in proportion to their numbers. - Sprague D
