Look at the dumbth on Facebook
They put me down without a single clue about why I said it. Facebook reminds me a lot of what was said about AOL 15 years ago, but with some distinctions: people get too lazy to open up links in posts that go outside of Facebook and it makes people dumb.
If they’d have called me an anti-Semite, I’d have known that at least they read the post.
This is a portion of the “Likes” at the profile of a person on Facebook who thinks Jason Thompson’s phrase “back to Kenya” was devoid of any racial overtones.
Not racist… because “they have white people in Kenya.”
That’s a direct quote.
Is it stereotyping if I’m completely unsurprised by this person’s Likes? Oh well… color me completely unsurprised.
This looks like apostasy to me.

- zberg02: i have a question
- ThinkComp: ok
- zberg02: are you interested in doing other things besides the housesystem venture?
- ThinkComp: in what context
- zberg02: like would you be interested in possibly partnering up to make a site if it would not be incorporated into housesystem ThinkComp: for the sec? think? or separate
- zberg02: separate i guess
- ThinkComp: depends on the site i guess
- zberg02: well it would be on the new thing i’m working on
- zberg02: i could let you know exactly what i was thinking about it, but i’m a little worried that you might just be inclined to want to incorporate it into housesystem
- zberg02: which isn’t something i want right off the bat, and maybe not at all
- ThinkComp: i guess i’d need to see the advantage of starting on something new
- ThinkComp: since i’ve already sort of got a lot going on…
- ThinkComp: it’s much easier to just incorporate things where they fit from my perspective
- zberg02: well i agree
- zberg02: but we disagree on whether or not it would fit into housesystem
- zberg02: well really i just want to make sure that we’re not doing the same thing
- zberg02: because then neither of us would succeed i think
Hey, it popped up! I thought that they had deleted that post.
I take back some of what I said about Facebook.
Android Fragmentation & Frustration
Finally, someone with some tech cred has confirmed what I have suspected about the turd that Samsung dropped on my phone: no one at Google is setting any standards or doing any code reviews of the different versions of Android. I seriously doubt that Samsung did any regression testing with this version of Android on my phone.
I’ve got a bone to pick with Samsung, as the last link shows. A couple of applications that I have on my phone seem to get high overhead and bloat out over the device’s resources kind of like Microsoft Office Extra Deluxe, 2015. One of them was Facebook v.1.9.4. I used to have a life event about deleting it from my phone on my FB page, griping about this flavor of Gingerbread and how awful the Facebook app was. I sent a link of that event to Samsung Support on a form they have on Facebook about a couple of weeks ago. Funny thing: that life event is gone from my FB page.
The only good thing that Samsung has done is to show me how to reboot my phone without having to pull the battery out of the back of it. Other wise, I don’t have any confidence left in Samsung to support their products through a life cycle of three years. I told Facebook all about it last night.
The Zuckerberg GIF you deserve on a Friday.
Why not put up a monster banner ad offering users to buy in at $25 a pop instead of going through all of this trouble? Really, why not?
The Update to Facebook for Android runs Even Slower on My Phone
It’s like FB is trying to write bloatware.
What is Facebook thinking? They’ve signed on in support of CISPA — the new bill that would obliterate online privacy, give the military crazy new abilities to spy on the Internet, and potentially let ISPs block sites and cut off users accused of piracy.
I lie when I complain about Facebook advertisements
I often dismiss most ads on Facebook as misleading. Think about ads for cell phone service providers or political campaigns: how could those be honest?
This morning I did something different: a well known North American innkeeping chain was offering one night free after spending 3 nights with them. I dismissed the faux poll ad by saying I didn’t like it because I wasn’t given my best friend’s wife as a choice of a person to spend it with.
