Another proof of how things gone wrong...



The valuation of Rovio is expected reach Nokia... Zynga's valuation is between 10...20B€ with 235M revenue, 11.8M profit in a quartal.
How freaking far from real world economics?
Finance economy = 20 x real world economy keeps killing us...

Sudden burst of mysteriously stupid Qs...

What’s going on in FB – some weird new spying scheme, spoofing user IDs, checking out viral effectivity???

Funny (=sad) proof of “cultural erosion” … about 50% of 70k people thinks the answer to 1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1-1+1+1+1+1+1+1x0 =? is 0.

Don't do that RockMelt... loosing trust

No_rockmelt_no
I have been a pretty happy and also excited user of RockMelt for quite some time (almost from beginning?). It does integration of info/comms and browser in value adding way.
It was a bit scary to start using it by having to “give away” your social media accounts, first thing.  But I got over it – sort of a trust was created thanks to the value it added.
They do also frequently updates with no pre-warnings – pretty significant changes to functionality actually if I remember correctly. This is quite a bit different in their case compared to a “normal” browser, since they do integrate service experience deeply into browser – it’s not just the looks and speed that get’s updated.
Now the last attack update really first time seems to touch the service itself – RockMelt seems to remove functionality from Facebook page and integrate it to browser.
There goes familiar service user experience and comes browser depencecy.

There goes one RockMelt user back to good old Chrome….

Say No - it is great

"No thanks. Not interested." - what a wonderful & respectful response! Good straight forward fast "No" keeps thin...
