All she said was "Digital etiquette: always ask permission before posting a friend's photo publicly. It's not about privacy settings, it's about human decency." - is that especially unreasonable? It's dumb to expect, but it doesn't warrant this attack piece.

I think he explains it pretty well in the article, but the entire point of Facebook is to do exactly what she's complaining about with the information that people provide on it. You post or like things, they use that information to sell things to you or sell your information to someone else to make a profit. Randi was the marketing director for Facebook until last year, when she used the buckets of money she made off of Facebook to start her own enterprises. She's not -just- Mark's sister, she's had her own hand in the service and did pretty well off of it.

So close on the heels of the Instagram thing where they announced that they own your pics you upload and can do with them as they please, for her to complain about human decency while living the big life off of the money made as part of Facebook is, I don't know, sort of idiotic and hypocritical.

Randi,

Bitch to your brother about it. I'm sure he'll act all uppity and pretend that there is absolutely nothing wrong, like he always does.


As for the Twitter RPG, that's classy. Just steal EVERYONE's artwork, then pretend you're a non-commercial, tiny project and so it's okay. Apparently stealing shit is fine if you're a poor, starving 'artist'?

They forgot one. The word "experience." For some reason, people today use that word way too much and it sounds really stupid. This one is a lot worse than many of the words they picked.

Windows experience, UI experience, touch experience, single player experience, multiplayer experience, video game experience, keyboard experience (yes I recently read that one in a review and I just couldn't believe it).

Why in the fuck does everything have to be an experience now?

I have not seen one episode of GoT legitimately since I don't have HBO.

Am I doing this right?

On that note, who's ready to buy buy buy when EA releases their online-only SimCity game?

Picketing at the funeral of murdered children in front of their grieving parents.

That's all I am going to say about this because of course I will be called wrong by all of the internet know-it-alls who find things like this an opportunity to prove how brilliant they are (and maybe push an agenda or two) instead of showing a fucking shred of humanity.

Classy. Guess we're closed for discussion, then.

Actually in China today there was also an attack at a primary school. The difference is the culprit had a knife instead of a gun and so instead of 20 dead there are 20 injured.

But hey if everyone of of these now-deceased kids had had M4A1's in their Dora the Explorer backbacks, right next to their Capri Suns, this all could have been avoided.

I believe that these types of discussions should wait because it is insensitive to argue about petty details this soon after a tragedy, but you are leaving out a critical component in your comparison - China has been having an epidemic of these "mass stabbings" lately. 20 kids have been killed in these types of attacks. As what has sadly become the norm in recent years, China proves itself yet again to be more sensible than the US in these matters. They are viewing it as a crisis with their health care and mental health system, not an availability of knives problem. If only Americans were at least sensible enough to agree on the problem, maybe we could actually begin to come up with a solution.

Security at China's schools has been increased in recent years following a spate of similar knife attacks in which nearly 20 children have been killed.

The BBC's John Sudworth in Shanghai says many of the attackers have been mentally disturbed men, prompting a debate about the effects of China's recent, rapid social change and the inability of an antiquated hospital system to cope with rising levels of mental illness.

I loaded this up a while back, and I played it on auto pilot. All of the rooms, baddies, secrets, etc just came back to me like riding a bike. Spooky actually.

I find it strange that you would consider picking the one part of your post that summed up your (wrong) sentiment for brevity's sake as somehow being deliberately misleading. That's just weird. I don't like quoting walls of text, especially when the very basis of the post was so factually incorrect. I was not being "deliberately dishonest", nor was I trying to pick on you.

I didn't quote your whole douche post because it was stupid. Get it now?

You can't make some blanket (false) statement about everyone being haters of Popcap then preclude the most compelling evidence to the contrary by labeling it as an exception. It doesn't work that way, sorry.
