    speaking of eyebrows, my eyebrows are quite thick, is it now socially acceptable to trim them. I have been wondering of doing this but I am afraid I might be seen as a metrosexual kinda person. The reason I ask here, is because the theme came up, and you guys are like me, mostly geeky. #google

    I have sort of the same issue. I can't sit still. I simply can't. My hands need to be doing something. I always end up fiddling with a rubber band or a wad of paper or something. If I don't, I just zone out and I end up not remembering what has transpired in the last hour or so.

    One time, during my job orientation, the instructor left these little rubber koosh-ball knock offs on each of the tables for people to fiddle with. I loved the thing. #google

    @Xagest: Mild fiddling is one thing. annoying, but marginally tolerable. To not even look at the guy during a meeting? That's clearly unacceptable.

    Once I was in a production meeting, and the VP was playing with her ring, spinning it on the table out of boredom, which made a lot of distracting noise. Of course, no one was going to call her on it. #google

    Fixed:

    "I said to Larry, ‘Is this boring?' "

    "What? I'm sorry I'm too busy being a douche. I always do this," Page said.

    "Well, you can't do this," Diller said. "Choose."

    "I own Google, so that automagically gives me the authority to do what I please." Page said matter-of-factly, not lifting his eyes from his handheld device, as he googled an efficient way to fix his eyebrows. #google

    Cache's Law states: Google's invasive cookies will fill your temporary cache and history. Ofcourse, Internut Explorer default setting is NOT to empty the temporary files.


    Thus Page's law is correct but also promotes the slowdown to stimulate new purchases of ubiquitous stuff.

    Ive always found that the more you know about something, be it computers or cars, the less often anything goes wrong with them without you actually having to do anything. Its like the universe appreciates and rewards knowledge on the quantum level or something. The more skills you have, the less you need them. Yeah that sounds just about dickish enough to be something the universe would do.

    not true as long as you aren't constantly adding new software. i stick with a short list and use TinyXP and everything blazes along just as fast as it always did.


    iTunes, VLC, 7zip, Open Office, bittorrent, firefox. That's all, folks.

    Here I thought it was just my brain losing half it's performance every 18 months. Someone needs to explain to him that Limewire is probably not a good application to have on his PC, or, better yet (my apologies) but someone buy the man a Mac.

    @OMG! Twinkies!: I don't think it's that we're getting stupid. I think it's more a case of information overload and too much multi-tasking (not only on the computer but in general, trying to juggle work, family, etc.) which bogs us down. We need the computer equivalent of defragging and rebooting our grey matter from time-to-time...
