It was about that time that I LOL'd at the lemmings deserting MySpace for the sweet, sticky embrace of Facespook.

The small population that he posits will re-establish culture will tilt toward the Amish.
In my opinion, it gets better just after the 2nd hour.

As George Carlin says, imagine how dumb the average person is, and realize half are dumber. Facebook was designed with that philosophy, which is why the sucky stupid platform succeeded. Myspace was superior in every way. We are stuck with an inferior platform because it was tailored to inferior minds.

Never got into iPod, for the reasons I've outlined before; expense, doesn't read .mp3, doesn't present as removable media when plugged into USB, doesn't use USB, doesn't have an FM receiver...
