As excited as I am about this platform being opened up to more users (I am getting tired of seeing nothing but CmdrTaco and Lady Ada updates), Google is still lacking the one thing that would help it dominate in the social networking market: scantily clad 16 year old girls. Say what you want about how annoying 16 year old girls are on the internet (OMGPWNIES layouts and such), but they really are the catalyst to social networks taking off. Once high school girls start to establish a presence on a website, other high school girls want to join to keep up with their friends, and every male on the internet wants to join so he can creep on those girls' profiles and fap to their bikini pictures. That may sound offensive to some, but it is the one truth of social networking. Until Google has a large userbase of skanky girls to lurk on, it will not take off as the dominant social platform.

Adobe Flash: I'm not dead.
The Internet: 'Ere, he says he's not dead.
Google: Yes he is.
Flash: I'm not.
The Internet: He isn't.
Opera Software: Well, he will be soon, he's very ill.
Flash: I'm getting better.
Mozilla: No you're not, you'll be stone dead in a moment.
The Internet: Well, I can't take him like that. It's against regulations.
Flash: I don't want to go on the cart.
Apple: Oh, don't be such a baby.
The Internet: I can't take him.
Flash: I feel fine.
W3C: Oh, do us a favor.
The Internet: I can't.
Google: Well, can you hang around for a couple of minutes? He won't be long.
The Internet: I promised I'd be at the Robinsons'. They've lost nine today.
Apple: Well, when's your next round?
The Internet: Thursday.
Flash: I think I'll go for a walk.
Mozilla: You're not fooling anyone, you know. Isn't there anything you could do?
Flash: I feel happy. I feel happy.
[Microsoft glances up and down the street furtively, then silences Flash with his a whack of his club]
W3C: Ah, thank you very much.
The Internet: See you on Thursday.

What's with the "but?" Sounds awesome. If they can't pull it off in real life yet, they should make a movie.

I'm still waiting for my pet velociraptor. How am I to defend myself against the zombie hordes without velociraptors?!

I'm sick of us jumping in every time a species is about to die out. Too cute to fail? I say let them go extinct. The ones that survive who looked to the future instead of eating all the grass in the field this quarter are doing what's morally right, and will lead to a stronger society.
Before you know it, the lazy lower-class animals will be living in human-provided housing, with food handouts and arranged marriages, and the predation the superior specimens take part in will be outsourced to the hunters!
A lot of people forget that before Al Gore became the poster boy for global warming, he was one of the most conservative Democrats. His wife tried to ban heavy metal albums for example. It makes me think about how much this country has changed in the past thirty years. The political climate has moved so far to the right that it’s sometimes difficult to appreciate the shift.
