What Are You Doing Right Now? (280 Viewers)

Yes. But by using Facebook you support them.

Whatevs. I have too many "friends" to keep track of.

 

Buy on AliExpress.com

[Byrone]

Yeah they're might evil, practically an inspiration to everyone else.

I'll give apple credit where it's due. Their designs are sublime but you're basically paying for the branding, locking yourself into awful software & sky high costs for content. I love showing my friends that own apple pc's how much it would cost to build a custom built pc compared to buying an apple pc. The best part is when they realize they could buy a desktop pc plus two tablets & have some money left over.

Finally warm here again

Oh hey, Byrone. Welcome back.

Whatevs. I have too many "friends" to keep track of.

I was just stating a fact, people are free to do whatever they want. I don't have any friends that require a Facebook account I can see it being handy of course but personally I wouldn't use it.

 

[Byrone]

Any computer product really. The anti bangwagon is just as bad.

Any cell phone with apps and access to a web browser/email falls into that category as well.

No not really. With other manufacturers, if you have some sort of pc knowledge, you could buy the latest hardware without having to buy a new pc every time. It saves you a boat load of money. Apple is a by far the biggest rip off.

Hey Kylie.

I really don't care if people make money off my pics and I get nothing in return. Hell, I live in the USA and taxes get me all the damn time. Paying for everyone else and what not. My countys taxes are higher than some countries and one of the highest in USA.

I just like seeing the world how other people see it. Food, locations and such. I also think instagram removed that from terms. My friend actually got a check from Nike for using one of his pics in an ad.

I've moved around a bunch so I have friends from all over the place, some I catch up with every few years, since the contact info changes over time, it's nice to have a method to keep track of people.

 

[Marty]

Don't get me started on taxes around 50% here

It's brilliant for that purpose, no doubt

I bought my MacBook in 2006 and am pretty happy with it. Switched the hard drive out 2 years ago. Runs like a champ.

Got my Macbook in 2009, switched to a SSD recently, it's brilliant. I run Mac, Windows and Linux on it.

We don't pay for college here, it's free.

Then your taxes are awesome.

 

[Marty]

Not awesome when most people I know pay 30-35% here But yeah, I don't mind the taxes. Free health care (almost), college etc.

We don't get any of that shit. I owe 70k for college and don't have any health care. :frown:

I hate them so much.

Any argument against increased taxation in order to bring public benefits should simply be countered with "Look how they're doing in Scandinavia".

Nothing beats parental leave though.

Utopia aka Sweden?

Well a friend of mine who lives here (she's American) thinks our system is stupid and it's much better in the US. I'd hate to live over there and something happened to me or my family and insurance didn't cover it.

 

[Byrone]

I hate them so much.

I'm gonna promote Sweden big time, hopefully all the nigerians & zimbabweans realize Sweden is the place to be.

Oh yeah that too of course
