Steam Gamers Are Avid BitTorrent Users - http://digg.com/playabl...

Some people see lots of failed Hard Drives, Some People see failed Memory. I've rarely seen those in 20 years of computers. Failed Video..
Those people probably aren't using a grounding strap. :-) - Mark Davidson
Well I mean "lots" in like if you asked someone what the most common issue they've seen is - Liam M
When I deployed laptops as an IT admin, I saw hard drive failure rates of about 5-10% within 6 months of usage. That stayed fairly constant regardless of brand of laptop or hard drive. - Scoble, Alex Scoble
See that's what I mean. I've had a grand total of 1 hard drive failure in 20 years. And that turned out to be a cheap enclosure not actually the drive. I've Never seen memory fail. But I've seen about 15 graphics cards fail - Liam M
Ahh...out of hundreds of systems I've seen maybe 2 graphics cards fail, hehe. Not a lot of memory failures either. But if you are in this business long enough you'll see things fail like backplanes that they say never fail, heh. - Scoble, Alex Scoble
I've eliminated the phrase "never fail" from my vocabulary. If it was made it can fail. Too many support calls where the resolution was replacing something that "never fails" - Liam M
Oh well. this forces me to semi-unplug for a couple days.... I "GUESS" that's good for me :( - Liam M

Get a Mac vs. Laptop Hunters: Which Are the Better Ads? - http://mashable.com/2009...
Personally I think the spoofs of the Laptop hunter ads are the best. http://www.buzzfeed.com/peggy... - Liam M
Although I am an Apple product user for the past 24+ years I think both companies should be reprimanded for coming out with such ads. I think it is always a bad idea to make fun of the competition, no matter how true the points are. - Vinko

3 questions: 1. Do you think Michael Jackson molested children? 2. Was MJ a 20-year+ junkie? 3. If yes to above, does his music absolve him?
1. No, I think he was just a big kid. 2. Yes. 3. Not sure... then again, I was never a huge fan. - Mike Wills
1. Possibly, there were a lot of wierd things surrounding him. 2. I don't think so. 3. I'm not sure that it absolves him, but I think it is possible to just look at who he was before all the trouble began. - John Fogarty from twhirl
I'll answer #1 by saying that he slept in a bed with children behind closed doors. Why isn't that bad enough for people? - aldenoneil
I remember my friend throwing out a Milli Vanilli CD after their scandal. His mom asked, "Why? It's still the same music." Pop music is so much about image, and Michael's image wasn't so great until his passing. Now it seems public memory of him will be unsullied. De mortuis nil nisi bonum, I guess. - aldenoneil
1unknown due to his level of wierdness. 2 who cares aren't a lot of celebs on something or another. 3 no but we can love him as a performer and hate him as a person. - Liam M
I agree, Gabriel, but it's tough for people to do. I still cringe whenever I hear Gary Glitter's "Rock & Roll, Part 2" played in any sports arena. - aldenoneil
My TV's off today so that I don't have to watch the repulsive spectacle in Los Angeles. - Rob Sterling
1. I have no idea. I find some of his actions questionable, but I find the actions of some of those parents just as questionable, if not more. 2. Once again, I have no idea. 3. If he's guilty of those two, of course it doesn't absolve him. But the same way it doesn't absolve him, those actions also don't take away his pure genius and what he's contributed to music, charities and the world. - Angel Smith
Jim Connolly
PC or Mac? I've had almost 100 replies and it's almost 50/50 so far. #mac #pc
Technically it's 100% PC. - Scoble, Alex Scoble
Agreed it Should be OS X or Windows :) - Liam M
No, I wanted to include linux users - which turned out to be around 20%. - Jim Connolly

My favourite breakfast ever:

(not my picture) - Bryce Roney
Oh Lord. I'm afraid that if Australia and the US every go to war it will be over Vegemite... - Sprague D
As in, you can't make us eat that stuff and we'll go to war to prevent this from ever happening. - Scoble, Alex Scoble
Odd, I've never heard of this stuff. What's it taste like? - Liam M
Dynamite is most certainly good...blowing shit up == awesome - Scoble, Alex Scoble
What about Dolemite - Liam M
I had Marmite when I was in NZ... I wasn't impressed :) - Tim Hoeck
Tim, Marmite and Vegemite do not taste the same! :-) - Kate Foy
"He just smiled and gave me a vegemite sandvitch and he said "Do you come from a land down under..."" - Scoble, Alex Scoble
Chris ... flavour. There's another 'something' in there that makes it different ... hard to describe without sounding wanky ... like the difference between one wine and another of the same varietal. :-) - Kate Foy
Chris, enjoy! I believe a 'new' Vegemite is being planned for release. Not sure what that's going to taste like tho' ... understand it's going to have cream cheese in the mix. Oh, the heresy! - Kate Foy
And on that note, I'm off to have some Vegemite toast for breakfast. Cheers! - Kate Foy
Now I fancy Marmite on toast - M F
yep, best way to start the day - lyallbaynz

Iran 'hangs 20 drug traffickers' http://news.bbc.co.uk/2...
Is "drug trafficker" a euphemism for political Dissident? - Liam M
Human rights groups say Iran executes more people than every country in the world apart from China. - Mark
Dunno, its a quote from the BBC article. My point kinda was we all demonize Iran in the media, but our Chinese allies are no angels. - Mark

BS! RT @kevinrose: Wow, Murphy-Goode Winery (@areallygoodjob) just screwed @martinsargent (even though he won most votes) http://digg.com/celebri...
I don't think they doing very well in the Social media so far.... - Fee501st
this will end in a epic fail then! - Fee501st
Way to Alienate the audience you're trying to obtain Murphy-Goode. Epic Fail! - Liam M
They wouldn't have someone picked, that would be fraud (and is illegal). But corporations always have escape clauses, which backfire very hard on the Interwebs. Just because it's legal doesn't mean its fair. Rule 10 at http://www.areallygoodejob.com/finepri... will push them into an epic fail. - Dave Friedel
