Right...just like Meego. :)
Good point, but then again flat screen TVs probably cost $10,000 at the time too. :)
Continue to use anonymous message boards to interact with those that know you by your pseudonym.
If I lived under a repressive government I'd utilize anonymous message boards to post my opinions rather than social networks. Different tools for different purposes.
Agree. There are plenty of anonymous message boards for gay teens and abuse victims to turn to for support. The point of a social network is to connect to people you KNOW, so why would you want to use a pseudonym unless that's what your real life family and friends know you by?

I am also not on this site to interact with people I know, which is the point of social networks like Google+ and facebook. I am here to read and comment on things of…
LOL. You never know what eccentric billionaires like to do. Sigh, I wish I knew...from first hand experience.
Yes.
Well he did get a new liver, so he's changed more on the inside than outside.
That ain't SJobs fo' sho.
If I were that wealthy I'd go out naked!
Must have been before he threw away his fat jeans. :)
Different.
