Ha! I love the phrase "Facebook, eater of dreams and souls!" I may steal that.

I'm not sure it's accurate to classify the reason people like Facebook as a poorly misunderstood need to communicate. Personally, I see its popularity as a perfect extension of Dunbar's theories on language and gossip as an evolution of social grooming. Essentially, because social grooming was necessary for group…

Whales. They're kind of assholes sometimes.

2spooky4me! I feel like I should have paid more attention during the training now. All I learned is that they like spearfishing.

Holy crap. That looks suspiciously like the hacker that appears in MY company's training program too! Your company's logo doesn't happen to have lime green in it, does it?

I'll go ahead an agree with part of your assertion right here. I don't think there's anything wrong with taking pictures, per se, but having been engaged to a person that went through periods of obsessively documenting things via pictures posted to social media sites, I think it can be problematic.

My father bought me one of these for my birthday this year, presumably to make sure that I don't get lost in the woods for good. All things considered, it's actually an interesting little device. The service will hook up with Twitter and both Facebook accounts or Facebook Pages. It allows you to have one custom…

I was under the impression that Queenie was descended from one of the witches from Salem (I'm pretty sure she said it in a previous episode), so her powers behave like the other members of the coven and not Marie's.

This was my thought, too. The picture isn't great, but it looks like a coypu to me. They're an invasive species, so if they were introduced in Asia, they could be spreading. But, yeah, they don't eat meat.

Doh, you're right! And I was thinking, "Hmm.. Was that article about the slow loris?" But then I talked myself out of it. That's probably why I couldn't find the original article. :)

I don't find this hard to believe. I remember reading a while back about a cute, little mammal (I'm pretty sure it was a tarsier) that we frequently see in photographs online and coo over, that is being destroyed because of the demand for cute animal photography. Apparently, their eyes are exceptionally photosensitive…

I actually think you and I are a lot closer in our arguments that you might realize. I'm not really advocating for closer scrutiny of gun owners and, perhaps, it was a bit of a hot button issue that I picked to illustrate the point. I agree with you regarding the frequency of people to point to marginalize people…

Sure, but certainly someone who owns a gun is much more likely to use that gun improperly than a person who doesn't own a gun, such as myself. By this argument, we should come up with a way to scrutinize gun owners more than we should scrutinize yours truly.

This is an interesting argument. I see it more as an issue of, say, whether it's proper to pay closer scrutiny to folks that utilize technology that has both legitimate and illegitimate purposes. One could make the argument that gun owners are more likely to use their guns to shoot others than, say, non-gun owners…

It comes with an empty paper towel dispenser?

I would totally pay to read that comic. I'm not a huge Superman fan, but, yes, a situation where he must be forced to either compromise his moral code to save, say, millions of innocent lives or "be the good guy" and let millions die. I'd read that. And it's much more compelling than, "Hey, I'm a weak-minded…

Ack! But no weather proofing? I mean, it doesn't need to be "ruggedized" and I don't need to be able to take it diving, but I'd kill for a camera with the quality of a RX100 that I don't have to baby when I'm hiking. I was really hoping it would be in the next version.

This is exactly what I was thinking. Beware the Tall Man!

So, let me get this straight. Twitter doesn't represent the general public. Twitter represents... Twitter users? What kind of crazy talk is this?
