I think what she is trying to articulate is that if we don't know how to be alone from time to time, we are going to be a pretty fucked up bunch of folk. You see it already on the bus, the sidewalk, metro whatever. People are constantly engaged in their phones, "communicating" with their friends as opposed to having an interesting conversation with a stranger on the bus. Hell, just yesterday some lady told me all sorts of personal things about her life and her issues with her daughter. It was interesting that someone would open up to a complete stranger.
Her argument, seen through my own interpretation, makes plenty o' sense.
Can you provide us with the link to the numerogroup blog? I have been looking for it for a while now and can't find it. I think they may have taken it down.
@Phaedrus: I am sorry that you have not heard of Syl Johnson. Please take a listen to this youtube: http://goo.gl/zAkVA
Honest to god, who the hell wants to listen to an album through an app only? Are these people retarded? So much for shuffling with other music, adding specific tracks to your favorite mix, etc. Dumb dumb dumb.
I am disappointed that you are sitting here arguing "why should I pay 25 dollars a year to access music I've already paid for."
You are smarter than this. You don't have to pay any money, you can just sit at home with your enormous hard drive and listen to your gigantic music collection.
the 25 dollars is for cloud access on devices that otherwise would be unable to store so much music. stop arguing apples and oranges.
Ha! I think it needs to be pointed out that Park Police are federal officers. Shoot first, ask questions later type. I have gotten into more unnecessary, power-trippin', trouble from Park Police and Park Rangers than I care to recount.
Nowadays I boogie as soon as they are in sight. And I don't mean dance.
I accidentally flew with a pocket knife last weekend. I had no problem getting through security with it at both airports I was at. I did not realize the pocket knife was in my carry-on until I was unpacking it at home.
As a graphic designer, I can confidently say that doing work for free gets me nowhere. Free does not get me 'exposure.' Free does not pay my bills. Free does nothing but devalue the work that I do. Design contests are a joke. That said, I think this is a misguided post from Masnick.
Seriously, F**K those ads that you have on this site that pop out every time I mouse over them. It took me no less than 7 attempts to read the top headline without that ad popping out. I know you are trying to make some money through ads, but I think you should limit the ads that just seriously piss off users.

Oh noes!
I guess the bar down the street called 'Bilbo Baggins' better look out!
Love it!
He is so hung up on the "who knows who" bullshit, I love it. Get a life dude!
It's too bad those designs are terrible!
link or it didn't happen!

Paywall?
I go there once a day or so and poke around, and I have yet to come across any sort of paywall. Who the heck is paying for this s__t?

AOL? LOL.

Re: Re:
A few more apologies should just about cover it...

Where does The Atlantic actually link to NYT articles? I have been poking around the site for a few minutes and have not found anything.
all I know for sure is that they won't be getting my money.
Free my ass
