Bill Gates quits Facebook over 'too many friends'

Stop poking me ... Bill Gates quit Facebook, saying he's "not a 24-hour-a-day tech person" / AFP

MICROSOFT co-founder Bill Gates said he was forced to give up on the social networking phenomenon Facebook after too many people wanted to be his friend.

Mr Gates, the billionaire computer geek-turned-philanthropist said he had tried out Facebook but ended up with "10,000 people wanting to be my friends".

He revealed the problem to an audience in New Delhi as he was honoured for his charity work.

Mr Gates, who remains Microsoft chairman, said he had trouble figuring out whether he "knew this person, did I not know this person".

"It was just way too much trouble so I gave it up," Mr Gates told the business forum.

Mr Gates was in the Indian capital to receive the Indira Gandhi Prize for Peace, Disarmament and Development, awarded by the government for his work for the charitable organisation, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.

The foundation, built by his massive fortune, has committed almost $US 1 billion ($1.22 billion) to health and development projects in India, targeting AIDS and polio.

Mr Gates also confided to the audience that he was "not that big at text messaging" and that "I'm not a 24-hour-a-day tech person".

"I read a lot and some of that reading is not on a computer," he said.

Mr Gates, who sought to drive a vision of a computer on every desk and in every home, said the information technology revolution had been "hugely beneficial" but added: "All these tools of tech waste our time if we're not careful."

----------------------------------------------------------

Well, well well, aren't you Mr Popular, Bill? 10,000 friends request?
Bet that didn't happen at high school eh? :)

At least Mr. Gates, you didn't register an account at myspace. Otherwise all those billions will go towars eyeliner research.

that was an emo Zing! btw.

The Boy Wondered...

You know how Batman consider Robin as his trusted sidekick?
Well, I don't think Robin feels the same. Watch this:



Never knew Batman was so clingy and bordering on douchey, LOL.
He's one less slap to Robin's ass than being a pedophilia.

P/s: yes, that was Justin Long and Sam Rockwell.

Super-Rebound

Have you ever wondered, What if, Superman breaks-up with Lois Lane, and by some weird coincidence it's you that catch her on the rebound?

No? well somebody did, and they did it on a stack of post-it notes.

---------------------------------------------------------------

Post-it Comic Reveals the Perils of Catching Lois Lane on the Rebound

You're dating a new girl and things are going great. Then one day she asks you to meet her ex...who just happens to be Superman. Can a mere mortal ever live up to the Boyfriend of Steel?

Jonathan Goldstein's short story "Man Not Superman" (previously featured on This American Life) follows the man who dates Lois Lane after she breaks it off with Superman. Our comparatively ordinary narrator is head over heels for the famed reporter, and things go swimmingly at first; sick of superheroes, Lois just wants a guy who can make her laugh. But Lois and the big Kryptonian are still good chums, and the relationship hits a snag when Supes insists on taking his ex's new beau as his sidekick.

The original text is an uproarious read, but the artwork (composed entirely on yellow sticky notes) from animator Arthur Jones perfectly captures the narrator's insecurities and the humiliation involved in working for Superman.

------------------------------------------------

Have a read of the comic here, and also here is the original text.

I advise you to read both, just in case Superman did dumps Lois.

Part 2

2 UK gaijin (foreigners) without any translator, save for an electronic one, trying to use the Japanese public transportation which is all written in Japanese, while an older UK gaijin is driving in one of the fastest road legal car across the Japan countryside trying to beat the bullet train.

Hilarity ensues.

A Bull with a pair of twinkly eyes

It's been a long, nearly fruitless search. 3 plus, plus, plusses years, to be exact.

The Mission : To find the pair of glasses that I really, really wanted, the exact replica of what's been in my head, the same design that my late grandpa used to wear, the same pair that I have been nagging to her every time we went looking through the nook and cranny of every optical shop that we go into.

Finally, on that fateful night, my precious!

This is what they called "Horn-rimmed Glasses"
Look at that shiny glass, that squeky clean black rim!
Oh wait, that 'shine' was the reflection from the lamp. But still...
Mine!
Mine!
It's!
All!
Mine!
Muahahahahahahah!!!!!

(macam sesuai je pakai spek ni gelak cam orang jahat yer?)
and know where did I finally find it? At Uptown Danau Kota! of all places. The same place that she had been nagging me everyday to take her since ...EVER!

If only I'd listen to her sooner eh? :)

Sanma Akashiya’s “Karakuri Terebi” held a contest last month in which 10,000 of Japan’s biggest Harry Potter fans competed for a chance to travel to the UK and interview the stars of the new Harry Potter movie. As it is a comedy show, they intentionally picked the strangest fans as finalists.

A girl named Kana was the grand prize winner, and here are partially subtitled clips of her meeting Rupert Grint (Ron Beasley) and Daniel Radcliffe (Harry Potter).

Lest you be judged.


From XKCD

Don't judge other, lest you be judged yourself.

In case of Awkward Silent

Things to say during sex. :)

In case you don't have anymore interesting (or dirty, you dog you) things to say during pre and post coitus, refer to below chart.



(larger image here)

Idea:

Print this as large as you can and put it above your bed post so you can always refer to it everytime during sex (unless u did it in the living room, or the toilet, hey, you can always print more).

sell out!

From Wired.

Comic-Con Sell-Out to Be: Darth Vader Toaster

The new Star Wars Darth Vader Toaster is a sure-fire Comic-Con sell-out and every Wired.com writer should get one for free.

San Diego’s Comic-Con International is more than a massive expo to build hype for the coming year’s biggest genre TV shows and movies. It’s a money murderer’s row of merchandise scientifically engineered to beam funds right out of the wallets chained to the average fanboy’s bulging belt.

It’ll be a surprise to precisely no one that Lucasfilm leads the vanguard of Comic-Con must-have gimmicks and gadgets. The marketing machine that put the “action” in action figures will introduce the Star Wars toaster (above) at this year’s convention, which runs July 23 to 26. The device turns every piece of toast over to the dark side — burning an image of everyone’s favorite Dark Lord of the Sith onto your Wonder Bread. How else would you get a chance to smudge jam into Darth Vader’s grill?

If you want Imperial forces in charge of even more of your kitchen’s carbs, you can add the Death Jar cookie container to your counter. Crack the lid on this technological terror and a million Chips Ahoy will cry out in horror — before they’re suddenly silenced down your gullet.

Either this is an Empire Smear Campaign from those darned rebel scum or Vader really needed the monies.

Hey, those armor polish don't come cheap, you know!

It's one of those OMG moment.


A 42-year-old Russian woman has made it into the Guinness Book of Records for having the world's strongest vagina. Tatiata Kozhevnikova reportedly lifted over 30 pounds with her vaginal muscles in order to receive the title.

Whoa! This is like a different level of records. That lady must be a Professional Kegeller.

No wonder some guy turned gay, they afraid of losing their johnson (in case during the copulation the lady decided to exercise on her "grip") :)

Oh yeah, btw, this post might be NSFW.

Death by Creamy, Sticky Chocolate, yummy.

from BBC

US worker dies in chocolate vat
Map

A man has died after falling into a vat of hot chocolate at a factory in the US state of New Jersey.

Vincent Smith Jr, 29, was emptying pieces of solid chocolate into the melting vat when he slipped from a platform into the 2.5m (8ft) deep unit.

A spokesman for the local prosecutor's office said the man appeared to have died instantly from a blow to his head by a paddle mixing the chocolate.

His colleagues at the factory tried to shut down the mixer, but were too late.

Local journalists met some of the workers in the car park, covered in chocolate and seemingly in dismay, US network ABC reported.

Mr Smith was a temporary worker at the Cocoa Services Inc plant in the city of Camden.

The chocolate is mixed at the plant by another company before being shipped.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So if someday, while enjoying a piece of creamy, black chocolatey chocolate you just bought and you'd bitten into something hard in it, or chewy, whatever, then you found out that it is an eye, or some bone pieces or a factory nametag even, you know where it came from.

Meanwhile, enjoy.
