This is the person that Hillary Clinton just gave $45m in "Logistical Support" to and almost nobody on my facebook and Twitter list thinks that this is a problem?

There should be rioting in the streets over this issue that Hillary and Barack are taking us to war with Syria a sovereign state.

Can you imagine if Iran or China or Russia decided to fund a group of Americans $45m who were driving around the streets with weapons like this on the back of their SUV's.

Hey Barack Obama how about you wake the fuck up!!!!

#Louie

WOW.

I love that #Louie has no constraints or boundaries where this show can go eg from the horror of 11.59 NYE to the happiness of the family shack dinner.

Some of the best tv out there at the moment. Shits on Letterman (joke).

Cute fluffy rabbits

Been reading up on homesteading and self sustainability recently (eg duck weed, talapia growth etc) came across a video on how to cull rabbits humanely etc.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?annotation_id=annotation_434275&src_vid=_PZh_gadbDY&v=EXAhzfqhMNE&feature=iv

I was all sad about the cute fluffy bunny when he killed it thinking there is no way i could do this when he was cutting the tail and head thinking ....but its so sad.....until he "slipped off the sweater" and i instantly saw "baked rabbit leg" yum :)

(oh and for anybody complaining about now...... i didnt tell you to click through the link and unless you are a life long vegetarian-Hi Dale-....where do you think the packaged meats in your supermarket come from...?)

www.Tent.io

This is the most critical two lines in the entire www.tent.io FAQ

Q. What can Tent users do that they could not on other social networks?
A. Tent users can take their relationships–the users they follow and the users who follow them–and their content with them

And thats why for a lot of people....this is going to be interesting.

Hey UK pollies, it was a criticsm on society not a fucking training manual.

This song was a different one but the one that i whipped my phone out for as was great to see it live (BTW Jill dont believe VH1 you've got a plethora of hits :)

Twitter is the Benjamin Button of apps

Twitter to Dump Third-Party Image Hosts From Apps

Twitter will reportedly stop supporting third-party image hosts on its official apps. The changes will likely roll out in the next round of updates, according to a Buzzfeed source. Currently, users are able include photos in their tweets that are hosted by Twitter’s own official photo service, as well as third-party websites such as Twitpic and yfrog.

i hope developers not only consider their future involvement with Twitter but with any of the other new companies the founders develop.......(square etc)

You know I saw a comment the other day that sums it up


Andrey Petrov- https://plus.google.com/109834643338395014064/posts/A9Fk7bsCA1B#109834643338395014064/posts/A9Fk7bsCA1B

Twitter is the Benjamin Button of startups.

Born out of wisdom and insight in our daily social behaviour, completely changing the way we communicate. Soon grown into a heroic Atlas, holding up the world of third-party developers on its shoulders, thriving as the platform rises along with thousands of apps and services transforming the experience. Dusk approaches when Twitter sheds its desire to leave a mark on humanity and finds itself destined to die as a single-feature web-based MVP. A sparkle in a developer's eye.

Security issues for "wifi - on the chip"

What are peoples thoughts on the security issues raised by “wifi on the chip”.
- http://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2012/09/intel-researchers-put-wifi-inside-the-processor-that-is

Eg at the moment I know the only way to get “access” to my desktop pc is via the Ethernet cable, and or the usb/ps2 ports etc.

With developments like this where there is wifi on the chip itself who’s to say I can still protect “all vector points”

Any thoughts?

Stephen Conroy doesnt "own" the internet

Lol can someone let Stephen Conroy know Australia doesnt own the internet.

http://www.abc.net.au/news/2012-09-13/conroy-takes-swipe-at-arrogant-twitter/4259868

Last time i checked Twitter inc was a USA based company and as such only needed to follow the laws of the USA.

As appalled as he is (hows the great firewall of Australia going stevie?) can you imagine if Saudi Arabia decided tomorrow that all Australian companies needed to follow the rules and laws of its country?

Talk about "acting above the law stevie".

What a moron, why is no one in the press telling him he's an idiot and laughing at him?

Bezos scum

And this folks is why Amazon sold out its customers in the recent issues around collecting sales tax.


They knew they were planning on setting up distribution points throughout the country so lets screw up the non representation sales tax issues and screw up the market for other online marketing firms before we make the change.

Wa Wa Nee

Just picked up a second hand copy of Wa Wa Nee from Amazon

Blu Ray promised fail to deliver?

Has anyone read the review of various Blu Ray players out there in the market on Amazon etc. Seems like not a single vendor is seen as a winner and reliable?


Reviews are littered with the dead souls of hope, broken promises and frustration.

You know i cant remember DVD being such a big an issue after this many years of release.

Why do you think there are so many upset Blu Ray users? Are you happy?
