My Space - My Arse
So Micro$oft decided to change the world again...
I'm not usually the Luddite, but what was wrong with the old profiles on messenger? You knew where you were with profiles... Mine had been there untouched since about 2002, and now it's a distant memory :(
At least on the default my space profile they have my occupation down as Barbarian, which raised a chuckle, but what of my flower arranging hobby, or my flagrant useage of Nietzsche quotes?
What would Micro$oft think if I chose to arbitrarily discard parts of their software? like the need to activate, or indeed buy their stuff?
Erm... ok... sounds like a fair deal to me
But did we need our 'own space'? Is this just Bill and his merry men trying to sugar coat the few remaining free speech arenas on the internet? We can't take the right to free speech for granted anymore it seems, what with the new religious incitement laws being shoehorned through parliament, and most of the 'free world' big internet companies rolling over on command from governments... (yes China, but also in the US as well...)
for the record Bill... 'My Space' begins when I turn off the computer, and dare to step outside... And if it's 'My Space' will I get a percentage of the advertising revenue for the adverts that I'm sure will cover our spaces?
