    And that makes you - according to facebook's skewed metrics - an ACTIVE USER! Anyone who logs in via fb to any website or "likes" something via a fb thumbs up is classified by fb as active. Also, being turned down for a position because I don't have a fb account?? What kind of employer would use that as a deciding factor in their hiring process? The most ridiculous thing I've ever heard...

    What a joke... I'll gladly cash in on this over-hyped garbage stock and be happy to take it out of the pockets of the people who buy into the "facebook is a game changer" mantra. They're clearly skewing user data to pump this trash and dump it onto the suckers that attend these "seminars". I hope to god this thing goes to zero and restores my faith in humanity.

  2. 20-30 minutes of searching. No, you're missing something. I don't search for anything at all except the odd movie available on YouTube or netflicks. I simply don't waste my time with shitcoms. Instead, I waste my time on ShiteTrader.

  3. well, sometimes we watch tv shows about the growing corruption in government. That way we know what to bitch about on ET. Everything I know I learned from TV. That's how I know Iranians are bad. TV can be very eduacational. Watch enough of it and you can learn whatever they are trying to teach you. But if you want to be an expert on everything, you need a lot of channels. I would suggest first watching everything cable has to offer, and then once you've mastered that, you may be able to get by with what's available on the internet.

  4. first things first. It's got to go public before it can go to zero. But to tell you the truth, I'm not sure I would want to be long humanity and short facebook. I lost a fortune betting against O.J.

  6. By the time you've mastered the TV, you'll be a vegetable - to stupid to find anything useful on the internet. Now what was that you were telling me about you and computers?? :D :D :D

  10. No fb account. No tv. Best decision, I think, after quiting smoking.
    I have a mobile phone though, a very old one, and my daughter asks weather we should get a tv to watch the olympics.
