>Back in December, the domain registration and hosting company tested a new system that would automatically register any domains searched for by users of its site. That system went live last weekend, meaning users doing a search found the domain they wanted became unavailable and held by Network Solutions shortly afterwards.

Poor country have larger populations, but they ain't using earth resources as much.
What Gates is trying to do, transfer the resources to poor people to make up for this disproportion of resources due to wealth possessed by the comparatively richer people.
Update: I spoke too early, upon signing into my account and my domain section is old. it's looking creepy, 2014 design and 1992 one inside it :/
As for, NSA spying how exactly can this phone ensure 100% secrecy. Given a user would have to use the same apps, and above all, the carrier that other smartphone users use.
Point is, US Govt is hellbent on spying on you. And they will no matter what. Either change the US Govt, or suck it up. Nothing else is gonna work.
Having your bedroom near or inside a kitchen is a total chaos.
>I think technology is the enabling factor behind the tiny house movement.
Technology has helped most persons own a 'palace' which was only possible for super-rich in the past, due to lack of 'economical' technology and advancements.
The Delusion of Social Networking. http://nerdspace.co/588
1. Initial Launch: OMG! Cool. Signup
2. More people Jump in, it becomes even more exciting.
3. Everyone starts using it.
4. Eventually, excitement starts to fade away.
5. It becomes boring.
6. People's addiction eventually starts to decline.
7. People totally lose their interest.
8. Eventually, it becomes a ghost town. End.
Google+ even couldn’t pass through the 2nd phase.
However, that was bit silly and a lot more time consuming.
The best to improve English is to be part of a community (an online forum). it's up to you which you want to join. Only join the one which interests you. Get involved in lengthy debates and discussiona, I know it's not cool, but just for the sake of learning and improving your English.
If you follow up above advice, your English skills will skyrocket in a very short time compared to traditional methods.
As for $50K/Day price tag, it makes it loud and clear, this drug is for the filthy riches at least for couple of years, my average joe and jenny will remain old and ugly. :/
People over the internet, are little too much over-sensitive. I am not implying 'Privacy' has no value, but we have taken this issue bit too far over the 'internet'.
A prime example of so-called 'anonymity' over the internet is 4chan, you pretty much know what sort site that is.
I am not implying it's an illegal website, but frankly, anonymity mostly leads to creepy, drugs (silkroad), and everything else considered wrong and bad, than something good which is pretty rare. Snowden is an exception, but again, he committed a crime for a good cause. Most people however commit a crime for every possible wrong reasons.
On a side note, I am still not sure, if i will ever use this app. This is primarily because, I act on the internet in the same fashion as i do in real life. I won't do anything online, what I can't do in real life. Hence I don't and perhaps would never need an app like this.
As for sending someone 'secret' message, I always whisper that in the ears. It's an old fashioned trick but has proven to be most secured.
Point. He is just being what everyone else us are here. a normal human being.
As for coinbase, Well played Sir, this comes from a broker but in a different field. every fucking pun intended.
I was merely calling it a failure, to fail to deliver what it is known for. Social Networking. And it's just not facebook all other social networks. Hence the topic of this thread is named 'delusion of social networks'.
to be more precise, the facebook is no replacement to meeting in person somone, or calling over the phone.
I don't want to take any credit away from Google. But there is a thin line between a gimmick and something earth shattering. Unless, I practically see, the practical use of these products (by google) I am more inclined to think, they are merely cheap gimmicks.
Google at best, can replicate a feature. But sadly that trick is no longer working. read: G+ and all they have resorted to gimmicks like this.
Oh yea, I am an Apple asshole but that does not make my above point invalid.
