A side note, or a snide note?
The downside of not sharing is not being able to read books in a joint
account. Well, you can, but you'll have to file the drm off first. I
advocate doing that not cos I'm looking to rip off authors, but because
I've got a huge library of .lit books I can no longer
, or you just don't use Facebook. Just like everything else in
the market place.

There's a little cross in the top left hand of each of the Facebook ads. It
doesn't stop the ads, you just get different ones, but it's fun to say you

I think the raw nerve that is struck with a lot of people (perhaps Greg,
perhaps not) is that there is an underlaying fear of manipulation, or

you, often without you realising it.
Psychology is an amazing thing because we

I'm glad the subject of 1984 finally came up in the context of
advertising. When I read Orwell's book in early high school it had a deep
and lasting influence over me. Even since I have been very sensitive to
propaganda, double-speak, weasel words and varieties of fallacious argument
techniques;
