  1. True. But...the politics behind facebook are interesting.
  2. Yeah... well I was responding to Malicious Intent's slider issue. And if you don't like it,
  3. The Daily Swarm reports that EMI is 1) close to raising $200 Million in investment 2) is preparing to lay off 1/3 fo their 6000 manned staff 3) plans to take a 'focus group' approach to album releases I find #3 to be frightening. They might as well be in the detergent business.
  4. Quicktime Pro is pretty versatile and you can edit on it - no problems with the slider, either. I agree that Miro is top heavy - its because of all the additional programming and features they offer; but they have the slider issue covered
  5. A tip of the hat to Fark for the find...

  7. From the UK Guardian article Facebook's privacy policy Just for fun, try substituting the words 'Big Brother' whenever you read the word 'Facebook' 1 We will advertise at you "When you use Facebook, you may set up your personal profile, form relationships, send messages, perform searches and queries, form groups, set up events, add applications, and transmit information through various channels. We collect this information so that we can provide you the service and offer personalised features." 2 You can't delete anything "When you update information, we usually keep a backup copy of the prior version for a reasonable period of time to enable reversion to the prior version of that information." 3 Anyone can glance at your intimate confessions "... we cannot and do not guarantee that user content you post on the site will not be viewed by unauthorised persons.

  8. In his article "With friends like these ...", UK Guardian writer Tom Hodgkinson condemns the social network... and he has a few good reasons - check out their policies in the next post: "I despise Facebook. This enormously successful American business describes itself as "a social utility that connects you with the people around you". But hang on. Why on God's earth would I need a computer to connect with the people around me? Why should my relationships be mediated through the imagination of a bunch of supergeeks in California? What was wrong with the pub? And does Facebook really connect people? Doesn't it rather disconnect us, since instead of doing something enjoyable such as talking and eating and dancing and drinking with my friends, I am merely sending them little ungrammatical notes and amusing photos in cyberspace, while chained to my desk? A friend of mine recently told me that he had spent a Saturday night at home alone on Facebook, drinking at his desk. What a gloomy image. Far from connecting us, Facebook actually isolates us at our workstations." Read More

Gorrell wrote the lyrics for Hoagy's sister, Georgia Carmichael . However, the lyrics of the song are written ambiguously enough as to refer to the state or to a woman named "Georgia."
