Maybe this is Zuckerberg’s secret plan for convincing those last 17 people in the U.S. who haven’t signed up for Facebook to finally give it up and give in?
Dennis alerted me to an exciting development in the world of technology, and all I can say is, oh yeah, baby! I’ve gotta have one. My sons won’t understand why this turns old geeks like me and Dennis on, but a Commodore 64? Fully rebuilt, Windows7-compatible, with Ubuntu, HDMI, Blu Ray? I mean that’s as beautiful as it gets.
Barry Altman, a retro-grouch with passion formed a company called Commodore USA LLC, got the rights to the Commodore brand, and packed a wolf into an old sheep’s clothing. He’s selling it at the same price as the original Commodore 64. Problem is, they sold out within 24 hours.
OK, I admit it. I never even owned an original Commodore 64. But hey, I can be nostalgic about the original VW Beetle, and I never owned one of those either.

Of all the resources that the Internet has to offer, Facebook is the one that has captured more registered users than the entire population of the United States, Germany, and Japan…combined! As of this time last year about 42% of the people in America had a Facebook account. Every day supposedly busy people spend about 700 billion minutes on Facebook. The Facebook website now receives more visitors than Google!
