Commented on Icelandic tourist to US held for two days, shackled, deported -- over a ten-year-old visa mistake
I don't even like traveling by plane in my own country anymore. That's pretty sad. Security theatre has to end. Shoes and water bottles are not dangerous. Tourists from Iceland are not dangerous. What is dangerous is giving up our...

Commented on Facebook will sink under the weight of socially obligated "friendships"
There's these things called the phone and email that I use to keep in touch with my friends. Somehow that works just fine, thanks. Facebook is a scam to get your private information and sell it to someone. Wake up,...

Commented on How to run a snail race
I used to have my kids find snails to race to help clear them out of my garden. We just drew numbers on them with chalk and drew a chalk circle around them. The winners were the first ones tossed...
Commented on Science and carbs - A big fat lie revisited
High Fructose Corn Syrup is what is making Americans obese. It is in everything - even in many of those "healthy" whole wheat breads. I was really surprised when I checked ingredients on them. Since the 80s its use has...

karikasery commented on Icelandic tourist to US held for two days, shackled, deported -- over a ten-year-old visa mistake
I fully approve of the measures taken by each country for their own security but cavil at the way it is implemented by US officials. I waited for decades before I could be pursuaded to take a vacation in the USA, because I did not want to go through the demeaning VISA procedure that was the official policy of the US government.

If you sell through metric CPC (cost per click), you will come across some very low clickthrough ratios, because users are not going to Facebook in search mode, but to socialize and display information about their friends,...

PrintPlace commented on What do political poster designs say?
The Obama logo has been regarded as one of the best logos ever by those in the business. As Sutton comments, McCain’s logo looks unfinished. And Hillary’s typeface gives off a feel of comfort and confidence, quite opposite of Bush/Cheney’s ’04 macho typeface. With people wanting change, Hillary’s campaign logo gave it to them. Ad Age even crowned Obama’s campaign as “Marketer of the Year,” beating out Apple and Zappos....
