meenriquezon Yahoo's 10 patents that it claims Facebook infringed

It's probably true. However, if it's true that facebook is earning from yahoo's properties, I think they have the right (and probably should too) to sue facebook

meenriquezon US on 'KONY 2012': No plans to remove advisers

meenriquezon 12-year-old sues school district over Facebook profile search

This happened to a page that my former classmates made too. It was made up of pictures of people in the community that they think weren't helping. It didn't get much popularity though. But it got shut down by facebook too. They later on found out that several people reported them using the "report/block" button. These people are relatives of the people that they posted funny topics about. They couldn't do anything about it.

On a related note, maybe the people who deserve to be reported are the likes of Justin Bieber. See Bieber tweets a phone number, except the last digit. Real people driven mad http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3690118

meenriquezon Colleges and Employers Demanding Facebook Passwords

This would do it. But I suppose that some people still keep their myspace accounts, or worse yearbook accounts. And those things can be searched via Google.

Also, deleting these accounts does not assure complete invisibility on the net. If you've used your account to comment on a public facebook account or page, there is no assurance that deleting your account would delete that post too.

meenriquezon My daughter taught me to fail more

I second.

Also, I think, the author would like you to keep pushing for whatever it is that you desire. Because really, it's impossible to not succeed when you just go for it.

The writer is just a plain sypporter of SOPA.

meenriquezon Thumbtack raises $4.5M, already half the size of Yelp

I've used Thumbtack and I must say that it's a user-friendly website. You talk to real people and you can pay right then and there.
