Social media — where offensive comments can spread like never before! I’m glad you pointed out that his comments were made in 2006. That doesn’t excuse them, but it’s a tidbit of information I hadn’t read anywhere else.

Hi Todd … thanks for this.

Feel free to strike-out the 40 000 and insert 56 000!

For anyone who wants to memorise a shirt link the map, say “bit dot ly slash ISS Images Mapped” then type bit.ly/ISSImagesMapped

Voila!

Cheers, @DaveAtCOGS

Comment on Adobe Delivers Latest Innovations in HTML5 Web Tooling to Creative Cloud Members by Joonas H

Hey!

It seemed to me that you have used both Adobe Flash Professional and Adobe Edge Animate. I’m studying in a university at the moment, and to complete the assignment that I had to do, I created a simple poll to find out, how users of Flash Professional can adapt to animating in Edge Animate. I have posted this request into about 18 forums, but nobody is responding to my poll (only 4 so far).

I’d appreciate it a lot, if you answered this poll (12 questions)!

Thank you!

I think the key is that they can, although they say they don’t plan on doing that, if the terms say they can, I wouldn’t trust them not to someday down the road. (disclaimer: I don’t have an instagram account, I’ve just been following the saga)

A lesson to be learned indeed Melissa. Social can bring down governments such as we saw in the Arab Spring. Can it affect multinationals? At some point it might.

I think it’s great when things like this happen. The more ways big corporations are held accountable, the better, and by their customers no less. This isn’t government giving them a slap on the wrist, it’s customers giving them a slap in the face. As much as Starbucks probably likes to think it has a flock of loyal sheep that will buy their coffee over others, there is more and more competition in the coffee biz all the time. That combined with the local movement, could spell trouble for a big company.

Comment on Sometimes the Best Response is None by Kim Dunn

People are free to believe what they want and if I come across a faith-based comment on my news feed I let it pass. But when people post hateful messages, denying others’ humanity (homosexuality, gay marriage, etc.) or proselytize, they are going to hear about it. In spades.

Comment on Note to Apple: Shove Your Self Grandios QT by textureweb

I would not call it a stupid rant, but a rant created from frustration of unexpectedly encountering large file format Quicktime when all I wanted to do was get online. Bad posturing in MOHO. Each to their own.

Yes, Einstein was important. But Jobs founded, then made Apple into the biggest company in the world. Why the hell are you surprised, let alone miffed, that Apple would commemorate the 1st anniversary of his death? Get off your high horse and stick your indignation where the sun don’t shine. I’ve never heard a stupider rant.
