Wow, 5 million is impressive. More impressive, that the US is not even 1/3rd of their user base. Talk about global adoption!

So how much longer before we can get a few of these hardwired into our brains? Carrying things around is sooo late 20th century.

Somewhere Ray Kurzweil is getting very excited.

Uh, there is already storage available that's much smaller than this; microSD cards, for example.

An undergraduate degree in this country teaches you how to become a worker bee. If you like being a worker bee, getting a decent(?) salary, taking 2 weeks and then later in life maybe 6 weeks vacation, by all means study business, marketing, etc. Otherwise, get educated.

"Self education is, I firmly believe, the only kid of education there is." -Isaac Asimov

If only we could have a few more people every year become free thinkers and creators.

He likely meant "Go to school/college to learn, not to 'be taught' everything by your teachers."

Didn't Asimov do an advanced degree in chemistry?

Yes he did. Medicine, law, engineering, mathematics, etc., most people will need to go to college and graduate programs. Tough to self-educate in those areas.

As a Google fan boy, this pains me to say this. I had to turn it off :( After everyone connected their twitter, blog, google reader feeds it became the same useless jargon as everywhere else. I'll come back around to it after they change things up.

Why not just unfollow people who's content you already get elsewhere? What's the obligation to follow?

(Maybe) he wants to send a clear message to Google: Buzz is crap.

The problem is not that it's crap, but that it's trap.

[ crap = something that just lies there and the reasonably alert can choose to step over ]

None really. Problem is that some are close friends who I love having discussions with online and wanted Google Buzz to be that forum style of discussion with friends. Becomes difficult when I see everything else they do already a 2nd, 3rd or 4th time.

The question is will it go to the bathroom for you as well? I could easily save a lot of time in the day by outsourcing that.
