Facebook’s Dead People; Canine Heroes; Nintendo Finally Faces Losses; Where You Might Want To Go To Prison; And A Most Obvious Blunder;

Alright, this is going to be my first run at doing a daily blog post, so bear with me because you’re in for a bumpy ride.

Facebook Sees Dead People__________

Everyone I know has a Facebook these days (Who ever heard of Myspace?) so I figured this was an article of interest.  Many people have probably wondered, “What happens to your Facebook when you die?”  Well, unless you’re sheltered and your parents have the passwords to delete it, probably nothing; At least that’s how it is right now.

At one time Facebook deleted member’s profiles when they were reported deceased.  Of course, there’s always those who have to take issue with something, so they stopped.  Now people are complaining that they’re being suggested to reconnect with their friends who have passed away, sometimes months ago.  This can bring up old memories and so on. 

I think that the profiles of the deceased should be deleted just like the profiles of those who have gone inactive.  If no one logs in for six months, delete it.  This method is used on countless other membership sites and forums.  It’s simple and effective and keeps your system from being swamped with deceased or inactive people.

Memorial pages just make me raise an eyebrow at ya.  You can already do something similar with the handy ability to make whatever page you want, and to be honest getting off Facebook and remembering them another way is better for you.

Why Dogs are WAY Better Than Cats__________

If three cats had seen the suicide bomber, would they have done the same?  HELL NO!  They’d have gone on licking themselves and clawing up tents.  This article further proves that dogs will always be the most superior pet.

Truly sweet story about three dogs who saved a group of American soldiers and now the two that survived are being adopted by one of the soldiers they saved, and the medic who saved them.

Nintendo Finally Hit By Losses?__________

What’s this?  Nintendo and… losses?  It’s the first time in a long time that Nintendo has been in the negatives.  I personally blame it on their E3 show.

While the Nintendo 3ds was super impressive, it’s not out yet, and Nintendo hasn’t showcased anything new in a very long time.  In fact I haven’t seen any new Nintendo games that sparked my interest in the last year.

With the prospect of Microsoft’s Kinect, we could see Nintendo crumble a bit.  I would mention Sony’s controller with a ball on the end wand thing that lights up… but we all know that’s a joke.

Because Prisons These Days are a Joke__________

The only prison on this list that is a real, legit, “what prisons are supposed to be” prison is the one in Russia.  Do you see that?  They get one fifteen minute shower a week.  I wonder if prisons were like that here people would be more afraid to go.

All this “coordinated” dancing in prison nonsense, TV’s in their cells… It’s a joke.  You ever see that movie Alcatraz?  I watched that when I was ten, scared the Dickens out of me, I never wanted to go to prison.  Prison should be a scary place.

Oh So Innocent a Music Player, Yet Oh So Not_________

Open this page, what do you see?  Oh, a little music player where I can type in my desired artist and get a list of songs, I click on the song and I can listen to it just like that… AMAZING

What I see:  Oh wow, I have DownloadHelper for Firefox, I wonder if it’ll come up.  *waits for a few second* Oh my gosh… I can!

Add the DownloadHelper application to your Firefox browser, go to this website, type in your artist, find your song, play it, download it, enjoy wherever you want to.

Whoever made this website is a real winner, it’ll probably get taken down soon, so enjoy while you can.

For the record, I didn’t download anything from this website and do not encourage you to download music without paying for it.

Have a nice night and see ya tomorrow!

  1. Hmm... I just realized I didn't clarify something. The titles of all the stories/links of interests are in the titles. Probably should have told people that considering it looks like I'm just going on random rants about things people have no idea about unless they read the articles. Lol, will clarify that again in today's post.
