Nuffnang and PLDT myDSL Special Screening
“The Social Network is to Facebook, as PLDT myDSL modem+wifi is to family life.”
Family Life because our family members are connected through the internet in more ways than one:
Google Driverless Car
Google’s driverless car has gotten a lot of attention the world over. I for one would like to see it, with James Bond in my mind, wheee!
Who wouldn’t get excited to see this? Ok, some people are wondering out loud if this car is “legal” enough to drive (Q: who’s driving, it IS driverless) on the road or if it even merit a car insurance quote.
Would flying cars be next like the ones in The Jetsons?
Private Matters
People are happy to finally find their long-lost elementary or high school classmates in Facebook. Isn’t it exciting to finally get in touch with these people after a long time?
Of course! you say. And so you share your intimate details in your page for everyone’s perusal: birthdate, employers, pages, organizations you like, TV shows you watch, photos of your families, photos of yourself, your email addresses, your mobile numbers and even your home address.
No problem these people are your friends, you say. Ok then, your call.
Problem happens when your friends have friends who can see you and have not-so-good plans after seeing your lovely grand home and reading that you will be away from a vacation for several days.
That is probably worse than writing about the need for a cure for herpes read by your partner.
Strangers can see and read those too because I happened to read and saw a LOT of these status updates and photos that are best kept hidden from strangers.
You don’t know what I am talking about? Check your privacy setting. Hide your tagged photos from people you don’t want looking at them.
Better yet, read the Six Things You Should Never Reveal in Social Networking Sites.
Mafia Movies
I think most men love Mafia movies. My husband does and I must say he loves these with a passion especially the scenes with adrenaline rushing car chases among alleys and/or scenic highways.
No question why Mafia Wars is one of the more popular game app in Facebook (which the hubby does not play, btw).
Most Mafia bosses are portrayed as mostly surrounded by a posse of heavily set armed (not visible) men, has cohiba cigars on their hands, have big bullet-proof cars, have beautiful daughters, live in posh homes and have slick hair that seemed to have been combed with pomade. Don’t ask me why I know what a pomade is please 😀
I also like movies that are Mafia-themed but sometimes the plot gets predictable that it gets boring because one gets a feeling that “I’ve seen that before”.
If there was one tagline I’d probably remember from a Mafia movie, it would be this from Scarface:
“In the spring of 1980 the port at Mariel Harbor was opened, and thousands set sail for the United States. They came in search of the American Dream. One of them found it on the sun washed avenues of Miami… wealth, power and passion beyond his wildest dreams. He was Tony Montana but the world will remember him by another name… Scarface“
