part 2:


1. Tyra banks (or Tyra banks’es researchers) are stupid.
She asks this girl who’s boyfriend is a WoW addict :
“he’s doing this with a video game . something that’s just a computer. it’s not real. how does it feel when he’s choses that over you, a human ?”

World of warcraft isn’t a video game. It’s a social interaction tool. Just like skype or ICQ or A PHONE.
imaging 60 years ago someone would talk to his friend a lot with the phone. would 60’s version of dumb Tyra ask “how does it feel when your boyfriend talks to the phone all the time ? it’s just plastic and wires. It’s not real ! how does it feel when your boyfriend chooses to talk to his friends on the phone over you, a human ?”

I’ll tell you how it feels : it’s feels like you’re a moron.

2. destroying World of warcraft’s installation CD’s means nothing.
NOTHING.
you still have the game installed on your PC. You can always reinstall from new cd’s, go to a friend’s to play, or an internet cafe.

3. The psychologist is dumb too.
He lets the fat girlfriend destroy most of the CD’s instead of the addict. The whole “leap of faith” with destroying the CD’s should be a step the addict is taking. Not the addicts freind. there’s no point in your friend throwing away your heroine. It’s YOU who has to do it.

4. Tyra banks tells the fat girlfreidn she’s not fat. This is why americans have obesity, becuase the anorexis tyra-banks models tells the fat lady she’s not fat. well, guess what fat lady, YOU’RE FAT !

Now back to real life, with real people, and not this computer blog thing. It’s not real.

I don’t get my neural network some times.
Yesterday, talking to Ami Ben Bassat he pointed me to his blog becuase he linked there to Feng-Gui (awesome name) which analyzes your website and gives you a heat map of where’s the user’s attention is. Analyzing some of my websites, Not suprising, it chose to tell me that people focus on pictrues. (Duh einstinen software).
Then i decided to try it out on an all text page, like my shows page.
Guess what ?
It got confused, and gave me an amorphic picture.

Waking up today, I went to visit his blog again (by googleing) and I destictly remember it now, and reading it in the past.
Google sends me to an article of his that was slashdotted a while back about using snails to have higher bandwidth than ADSL
It’s something we joked about when i worked with On Paradis in Nsof: If You send a terabyte of DVD’s to netvision HQ in haifa from Tel-aviv, you get a HUGE bandwidth.
But the latency sucks.

I don’t know why my memory didn’t make the connection earlier, but in any case Ami’s now back to my favorite RSS aggregator: Thuderbird.

Side note: about 3 months ago (approx.) I told Ami about Clicktale which is a start-up of someone i know from my MBA, lead by my enterpraneurship proffesor from the MBA – Tal Schwartz, a very nice guy. He even made it to the astroclub a week ago. When ever I meet Ami again, we have something to talk about – the fact he didn’t try it yet.
I feel like i’m one of the largest viral promoters for clicktale. I got Lee using it already, and I promote it around.
Tal and Arik ! I want precentage !

ME WANT !
