"To be fair I am a big fan of FriendFeed *but* I come at using it from the
perspective that it is a tool and as such I need to be selective on who I
add and how I fine tune the service so I can work with the noise rather than
it overwhelm me. I also like the fact that topics that have had new comments
added to get moved to the top but I do believe that there should be a date
limit on that happening as getting month old posts resurfacing because
someone just discovered them isn't beneficial IMO." - Steven Hodson
In no modern society should this be what we can expect from the best especially when cost isn't an issue - I can only image what would have happened to someone without excellent coveage and a caring loving family - this is disgusting. So while you are all bickering about the "noise" in here or the web take a minute and ask yourself - if technology and the web is all about improving our lives why does this shit keep happening - Steven Hodson
The hospital in Barcelona has ~30 wonderful buildings. The architect Gaudi wanted people to feel comfortable, so the ground floors are beautiful like homes, and the techy stuff is on the basement floors. - Mitchell Tsai
...crazy...MPAA and RIAA has been heavily involved with the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors in crafting new local laws that will declare music and video piracy as a public nuisance. - Mitchell Tsai
India will soon begin to outsource to the USA as well now that the dollar has fallen so low. - Robert S. Robbins via Alert Thingy
The interconnected world is curious. When I was in Egypt, they were getting undercut by Chinese on some holiday lamps, and some Egyptians were only making $25/month. :-) Poor infrastructure and massive traffic jams in China are bad. - Mitchell Tsai
For many companies I'm not sure about the benefits of outsourcing to India - with one of the projects I'm involved with at the moment, I'm sure it could have been done in half the time and for half the price in the UK. The talent in India is patchy, there are some excellent people and some very average ones but most of all I think they lack a depth of experience, this should improve with time of course. - Andy Davies
Completely agree. Data caps in these times is like a stealth tax on your surfing. Sure, download a movie for $3 but once you do this a few times we're going to hit you with a massive surcharge. How much does that movie REALLY cost? - Colin Walker
