«Владельцы порносайтов терпят убытки: так же как и обычные фильмы, их продукцию бесплатно предлагают сервисы видеоблогов и видеообмена. А вот смежному сектору adult-бизнеса — сексу по веб-камере — пиратство не угрожает. По приблизительным подсчетам, сегодня в мире трудится около 5 тыс. онлайн-гейш — в большинстве своем они из стран бывшего СССР и соцлагеря.» #порно - × × ×

“I don’t know about you, but a future without URLs and without the infinite organicity of the web frightens me. It’s not that I know what we’ll lose by removing this artifact of one of the most generative periods in history — and that’s exactly the point! The URL and the ability for anyone to mint a new one and then propagate it is what makes the web so resilient, so empowering, and so interesting! That I don’t need to ask anyone permission to create a new website or webpage is a kind of ideological freedom that few generations in history have known!” - × × ×

“Perhaps in a sign of how the plague of social media has numbed us all to the value of legitimate human connections, the New Oxford American Dictionary has picked the verb "unfriend," or "to remove someone as a 'friend' on a social networking site such as Facebook," as its 2009 Word of the Year.” - × × ×

Дорогой Аллах, правда ведь, мне не придётся в Стиме прикидываться эмигрантом из-за странных людей, ну правда ведь? Ну, пожалуйста? "As everybody knows by now, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 includes an incredibly controversial level set in a Russian airport that has generated much discussion. The level has proven to be so inflammatory that the real-life Russia has acted, recalling all copies of the game from stores and effectively banning the title. Infinity Ward has opted to patch the level out entirely for Russian consumers, and an edited version of the game is expected to be re-released in less than a month, pending government approval. Even that may not pass, however, considering the entire game is based around a war between the US and Russian forces." - × × ×

Придется. На версию 1С steam в любом случае уже докачивает патч, блокирующий неугодную миссию. - my bears are augmented

Не-не, я буду как раз на новый год в Стиме покупать нелокализованный оригинал (подозреваю, что у него снова будут проблемы с кириллицей в чате, как у MW, но я всё равно не общаюсь с людьми иначе, как смайликами). - × × ×

“COLLECT: Whether you're making an outline while someone is talking in a meeting or lecture or keeping track of your daily inspirations, your thoughts just flow. ¶ ORGANIZE: Sometimes people ask why thinklinkr is "limited" to outlines. I prefer to say "constrained," but the point is organizing your thoughts into an outline makes them crystalize before your eyes. People have used desktop-based outliners for years to take advantage of this way of processing their thoughts. ¶ COLLABORATE: When you collaborate on an outline you and your collaborators get on the same page right away. The outline structure lets everyone see where you're coming from and puts your ideas in context. Meetings get shorter. Lectures and presentations are more enlightening. Project plans actually become useful. - × × ×

Аукцион yahoo.co.jp , говорит нам К.О. - anatoliy

Это-то понятно, но, в отличие от Ebay, скажем, акционы на японском Yahoo, выходит, имеют очень специфического потребителя в России. Миллионы лотов на русском языке, гитары, клавишные и ударные. #the_daily_wtf - × × ×

injapan.ru — лучшие по теме :) Автодетали, в т.ч. тюнинг, hi-end audio, винил, инструменты, гаджеты, дизайн-одежда ещё. - anatoliy

"I had a brief chat with Karp last night about the company, which counts only 10 full-time employees today. Karp told me Tumblr is still not all too worried about its ability to generate revenue with the service, keeping its options open and trying to come up with innovative ways of making money rather than merely adding standard premium features or advertising. What they are experimenting with, however, are imminent paid features that would basically give Tumblr users a way to promote their content in ‘new ways’. Sounds rather vague, so we’ll just have to wait and see what they come up with. Also on the roadmap: localization. The Tumblr team is currently considering translating the service and offering customer support in more languages besides English. Karp said Tumblr, which raised about $5.25 million in venture capital to date, has about two years of runway left before running out of cash." - × × ×

(Спасибо, rogneda! http://ff.im/bn0NJ) "There is a great site on all things sheep called Sheep101.info it has so much good information, and again the parallel to sheep and community management is uncanny. On the page about how sheep are led there is this amazing article about a type of sheep called “leadersheep”." И там отличная реплика про сообщество — «These sheep want to be heroes», очень правильная. :) - × × ×

Ага, там высокая концентрация овец и сообществ на единицу текста :) - rogneda

"We all knew that Infinity Ward's Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 was going to be big, but just how big? Well, according to publisher Activision, the game has sold approximately 4.7 million units across North America and the United Kingdom in its first 24 hours. These numbers are based on "internal Activision estimates," which also claim the game had the largest opening day sales numbers across all forms of entertainment, raking in an estimated $310 million." #проигры - × × ×
