It's not about being creepy, it's about having enough time on hands and why. I would be interested to find someone, who values taking 1000s picture of mine than his time spent making money for himself. In the case of celebrities for instance, they have almost their entire life public, and i don't think it had harmed them any way, unless, they committed something illegal and it was made known.

People over the internet, are little too much over-sensitive. I am not implying 'Privacy' has no value, but we have taken this issue bit too far over the 'internet'.

A prime example of so-called 'anonymity' over the internet is 4chan, you pretty much know what sort site that is.

I am not implying it's an illegal website, but frankly, anonymity mostly leads to creepy, drugs (silkroad), and everything else considered wrong and bad, than something good which is pretty rare. Snowden is an exception, but again, he committed a crime for a good cause. Most people however commit a crime for every possible wrong reasons.

Bravo Son! you have earned respect for your this deed. Appreciated.

On a side note, I am still not sure, if i will ever use this app. This is primarily because, I act on the internet in the same fashion as i do in real life. I won't do anything online, what I can't do in real life. Hence I don't and perhaps would never need an app like this.

As for sending someone 'secret' message, I always whisper that in the ears. It's an old fashioned trick but has proven to be most secured.

I am the CEO, and my salary is lesser than all the key staff in my company. Reason, self-funded. And everyone in the office knows it. I am just astonished how a CEO of company like Buffer, can afford such an expensive package for himself. Are you making enough or just billing it to your investors?

Now take my sincere advise, take a trip to Hawaii for couple of weeks. don't sell them fast. Once you are back, you will either have another trip, or just cash out successfully. end.

As for coinbase, Well played Sir, this comes from a broker but in a different field. every fucking pun intended.

sifarat | 12 years ago | on: The delusion of Social Networks

Handsdown Facebook is a massive monetary and startup success.

I was merely calling it a failure, to fail to deliver what it is known for. Social Networking. And it's just not facebook all other social networks. Hence the topic of this thread is named 'delusion of social networks'.

to be more precise, the facebook is no replacement to meeting in person somone, or calling over the phone.

sifarat | 12 years ago | on: Google is the new Bell Labs

Just because everyone is not making alpha releases of their products, does not mean they are not working on ground-breaking technology (which works) either. If you understand Apple, you will get my point.

I don't want to take any credit away from Google. But there is a thin line between a gimmick and something earth shattering. Unless, I practically see, the practical use of these products (by google) I am more inclined to think, they are merely cheap gimmicks.

Google at best, can replicate a feature. But sadly that trick is no longer working. read: G+ and all they have resorted to gimmicks like this.

Oh yea, I am an Apple asshole but that does not make my above point invalid.

Handsdown it has pretty good ui. But i regret buying it, because i can't calculate % seriously why isn't on the front. I have to press folder button to find it.

additionally, I am baffled why do i have to press = to find end result, it should automatically calculate as i enter figure just like my $3 citizen calculator does.

sifarat | 12 years ago | on: Microsoft: US government is an 'advanced persistent threat'

US government is an 'advanced persistent threat': Iran since 1979 Any sane person can figure this, this is no play on words. If someone can be aggressive against someone, he will be against everyone too. It's a delusion, He (they) are aggressive for someone else, in fact, he (they) would be for everyone else too. This rule is not specific to a person or country.
