Yeah, it's too bad that for some of the new products, Apple's quality control seems to have slipped. On the other hand, their return and repair services are great, and they seem to bend over backwards to fix or replace to cover any problems you're having.

How likely do you think THIS is going to happen? "An ex-UN prosecutor has said that following the issuance of an arrest warrant for the president of Sudan, former US President George W. Bush could -- and should -- be next on the International Criminal Court's list. The former prosecutor's assessment was echoed in some respect by United Nations General Assembly chief Miguel d'Escoto Brockmann of Nicaragua, who said America's military occupation of Iraq has caused over a million deaths and should be probed by the United Nations."

I think this is not as bad as people are making it sound. As I commented on Paul's post (see: http://friendfeed.com/e...)

I'll post a quote below.

From the UK Parliament site (http://services.parliament.uk/bills...) one should read the final bill as "Royally Assented" (the last version.) The language is different.

- Roberto Bonini
The thing is, all of the anti terrorism laws have been abused for things totally out of the realm of terrorism. This law makes it very easy to shut down anyone trying to get evidence of police abuse of powers or brutality. Our government needs to learn a very important word - transparency!
- alphaxion
I do agree with you guys that it's a concern, I was just saying the intent of the Parliament is not what it's made out to be. Having said all that, i don't see why we (US, UK, wherever) need more laws.
- Anthony Citrano
How the English could give away their personal freedoms so easily is beyond me-first it's the CCTV capital of the world, then it was Habeus Corpus and now this, all in the name of terrorism! British MP's should be ashamed at being so hoodwinked by this insidious legislation which is just re-enforcing what has become a police state.
- Jack Sagel
Horrible, but not at all surprising. Even before the rise of the “war on terror” Britain has been walking down the path toward becoming a tightly controlled police state. This is just another step that the UK government is taking toward its fascist future.

@Jim, it could be worse. I didn't check to see if "barely legal" was taken. And maybe it's better that I have it than somebody else who would be linking to a darker place.
- Louis Gray
I think that the fact, that someone at 31 is having problems with being followed online by a 14 year old geek - who is probably seeking a role-model - or by a 20 year old girl (isn't that what people used to call woman in saner times?), and instantly starts to worry about "people assuming things" is telling. When I was 10-14 I used to hang out with older people, learning from the collegues of my mother - usually mechanical engineers or such - or of my father - working in the computer industry.

@Roland... telling? Explain a bit for us.
- Louis Gray
I think it is a sad thing that you have to worry about "what people will assume??" If a teenager can't follow adults, how in the heck will they find a normal, everyday role model? How will they learn something useful? Why don't we just wall off people of separate ages? Sorry, but this is just plain crazy.
- Roland Hesz
@Roland It is crazy, but it's a truth of modern day society...at least in the United States. Even if that truth wasn't there, though, I'd still hope a youngster would be able to find a role model they could learn from offline. At least start it offline, and take it online if it's something that works for both.

I'm 36. I have friends and colleagues who are 20. Ay 18, one of my best friends - and a great mentor - was nearly 30. Don't worry about it.

@Didi Good on you. I'm not much older and I find teens and early 20's people a strange but fascinating alien species. Wish I didn't. Is it another sign I'm getting older? Do people of any age have to lose touch with younger people, or am I just closing myself off? And when will those damn kids get off my lawn?!? ;-)
- Jim Stanger
@Louis Gray telling that you have to worry about it. That's a problem I think.
- Roland Hesz
Part of this is also that the perspective is changing as well. I've been at the same company for about 8 years, starting there when I was 23. I've always been the youngest, or one of the younger, people in a specific category. As I grow older, and the next generation starts to be in the peer group, it takes getting used to. (Not creepy per se, just new)
- Louis Gray
@Jim problem is, that if a Hungarian teenager wants to learn about, say rocket science, he will have to look for a US engineer say. Given that it takes about 20 hours to fly to the US, or more, the offline bit is impossible. The online thing will work, and sometimes that's the only way. And a 20 years old is not a youngster. That's an adult :)

I know, if you sub LG you see them all, but just in case here's the other FF discussion going on about this: http://friendfeed.com/e...
- Jim Stanger
@Jim I agree. I still think it's not about the age, it's about the 1) reason and context of contact 2) modified by age. What is perfectly normal with someone over 20 or your own age is weird with a teenager, and the other way around. But I would not say that "I won't contact people younger by X years". I will not in any circumstances welcome a kid on Second Life, but I will gladly talk with him or her about software development or music on twitter, msn, plurk, whatever.

This is an ancient thread, but I just read the article. My life situation is strange (10-yr-old at college), and I wish that people would just value others based on who they are (not title, class, sex, race, age). I'm 41 and take ballet/jazz/hip-hop classes with people -29 yrs younger, and was at a springboard diving competition with a lady +64 yrs older. One relationship was with a lady +16 yrs older, but always with older women. My Facebook friends are 17-75 (avg 37).

- Sebastiaan van den Akker
I think it is refreshing that someone actually thinks of this. So many just want the followers. Age wasn't really the focus to me, but it seems that was the stopping point for many. It was more about that weird feeling of when you know you've stepped into a maturity level that is not your own. And frankly, at some of the levels things can get dicey. And generally, that has some relationship to age (but not always). It is creepy.
- Boo
Apologies for coming late to this discussion, but don't see a point having been made here tht I think needs to be made: wrt twitter, ffeed and identi.ca (at least), following/subscribing is very much NOT the same as "friending" on other, more deliberately "social" social media e.g. facebook. I've never used the latter, so actually have trouble groking this issue. For me, subscribing/following says nothing about any desire for reciprocity; I'm just using a tool to make it easier to read your stuff.

Oh, crud, sorry -- I see my point/issue *is* well-addressed over on the other thread, at http://friendfeed.com/e... Come on, Ffeed, get that de-duping stuff done!
- Tegan Dowling
I'm 47 and my feelings on this issue are complicated. I do feel creepy when I find myself occasionally in situations surrounded by people 22-25 years my junior (in other words, 22-25-year-olds). Or more -- I felt totally gross when I innocently friended my 17-year-old niece on Facebook, only to find that I was apparently more than twice the age of her next-oldest friend. Eww! (con't on next rock)
- Mitch Wagner
OTOH, it's wrong to judge people based on their age. And, as we get older, we have to work to keep our brains from becoming calcified, and one way to do that is to associate with people of *all* ages. I surround myself with people whom I consider peers, aged from early 20s to nearly 70, and I think that's good. When I find myself in a gathering that's much younger than me, I try to behave in a manner appropriate to my age -- which, I think, involves being a bit aloof and avuncular. (con't on next rock)
- Mitch Wagner
That said: I like to go to clubs in Second Life, and when SL introduced voice, I was pleased to see a lot of people were using voice in one of my favorite clubs. I switched on voice myself -- only to discover that most of the people on voice appeared to be teen-agers. Ewwwww! I had no idea that they were teens -- I guess when we're clubbing in SL, we all behave a bit in an adolescent fashion. I never went back to that club again.

I'm voting for "more likely". Two syllables generally calls for "more" instead of "-er".

BTW I agree with Linda: likelier feels ok to me verbally but I'd never write it.

On Friendfeed, more likely is more likely to be liked than likelier.

Great reminder from Jason Alba on why we can't trust everything to work perfectly. Take 2 minutes to read his post and another 2 to take his advice.

I am glad I did this before - not because of fearing to lose my data, simply I keep an offline copy of everything. It is an annoying thing, and actually I am astonished that they have no backup in place. If they can not restore an account, doest that mean that in case of some big trouble (DB server dying), LinkedIn will be wiped out? No daily backups or archives of the DB?
