Yahoo buying up the internet

Suz — Fri, 17 May 2013 11:58:22 GMT

Quote:

I�ve heard rumors that Yahoo was trying to get into the following deals over the past couple of months: Foursquare (at an $800 million asking price). Path (at a $2 billion asking price). Pinterest. Hulu. Zynga. Daily Motion. And at a smaller scale: Gdgt. Wavii. Media Ocean (?). A spate of others. And now Tumblr. �Literally they talk to everyone,� said one person familiar with the matter on the matter.

Panic tactics maybe? What does everyone think? Internet rumors?

A lovely story about coffee

Ivana Luton — Fri, 17 May 2013 07:56:13 GMT

I sat with my friend in a well-known coffee shop in a neighbouring town of Venice, the city of lights and water. As we enjoyed our coffee, a man entered and sat on an empty table beside us.

He called the waiter and placed his order saying, Two cups of coffee, one of them there on the wall. We heard this order with rather interest and observed that he was served with one cup of coffee but he paid for two. As soon as he left, the waiter pasted a piece of paper on the wall saying A Cup of Coffee.

While we were still there, two other men entered and ordered three cups of coffee, two on the table and one on the wall. They had two cups of coffee but paid for three and left. This time also, the waiter did the same; he pasted a piece of paper on the wall saying, A Cup of Coffee.

It seemed that this gesture was a norm at this place. However, it was something unique and perplexing for us. Since we had nothing to do with the matter, we finished our coffee, paid the bill and left.

After a few days, we again had a chance to go to this coffee shop. While we were enjoying our coffee, a man entered. The way this man was dressed did not match the standard nor the atmosphere of this coffee shop.

Poverty was evident from the looks on his face. As he seated himself, he looked at the wall and said, one cup of coffee from the wall. The waiter served coffee to this man with the customary respect and dignity.

The man had his coffee and left without paying. We were amazed to watch all this when the waiter took off a piece of paper from the wall and threw it in the dust bin. Now it was no surprise for us the matter was very clear. The great respect for the needy shown by the inhabitants of this town welled up our eyes with tears.

Coffee is not a need of our society neither a necessity of life for us. The point to note is that when we take pleasure in any blessing, maybe we also need to think about those people who appreciate that specific blessing as much as we do but they cannot afford to have it.

Note the character of this waiter, who is playing a consistent and generous role to get the communication going between the affording and the needy with a smile on his face.

Ponder upon this man in need. He enters the coffee shop without having to lower his self-esteem he has no need to ask for a free cup of coffee without asking or knowing about the one who is giving this cup of coffee to him he only looked at the wall, placed an order for himself, enjoyed his coffee and left.

When we analyse this story, along with the other characters, we need to remember the role played by the wall that reflects the generosity and care of the dwellers of this town.

He said to me

Ivana Luton — Fri, 17 May 2013 07:52:58 GMT

to put in it
I said to him .... . . You wear pants don't you?

2

I said to him .. That's a good idea - you stand by the stove & sink
while I sit on the sofa and do nothing but fart

3
He said to me. . What have you been doing with all the grocery money I
gave you?
I said to him . ..... Turn sideways and look in the mirror!

4
He said to me. . Why is it difficult to find men who are sensitive,
caring and Good- looking?
I said to him . . . They already have boyfriends.

5
He said to me...What do you call a woman who knows where her husband is
every night?
I said to him. . .. A widow.

6
He said to me.... Why are married women heavier than single women?
I said to him .. . .. Single women come home, see what's in the fridge
and go to bed..Married women come home, see what's in bed and go to the
fridge.

Best sentence of the day

sharrowsec — Wed, 15 May 2013 10:41:01 GMT

Hello everybody, 你好 (<- Hello in Cantonese)

Anybody here got any ideas how to score higher in English Language for writing, listening and reading paper for a non-native speaker
Teachers in school only keep giving us the past exam papers or grammar exercise which can not really help in the big picture.
I am now on the score stage of level 5, and I am wishing to score higher (maybe 5* or even 5**), and I do not want to take some stupid tutorial classes while they are not really helping at all

So I am wishing that you could help me out, I know that many of you guys are from English-speaking countries,
Write a beautiful sentence that with no grammatical mistake below
(Just make sure that it is BEAUTIFUL)

I dont know if it helps but reading some others' writing is always great,
so go ahead please,

Thank you so much :punk:

Awesome

Someone abusing my e-mail adress

StiligeCecilie — Tue, 07 May 2013 09:29:48 GMT

It's not my main e-mail, but my Hotmail which I've been using for Live Messenger and such. I keep getting signed up for travel service newsletters. I got a name (for some reason, this guy is signing up with his own name, but my e-mail adress). His name is Christian Dahl, and it's a very generic Norwegian name, so it's hard to search for him. Anyone got any ideas to how I can track him down? So far I've tried Googling his name with my e-mail, searching on pipl.com, searching on Facebook...
I've tried logging in to the site which he registered the newsletter (latest one SWISS.com), but the e-mail is not registered in the database, just the newsletter registration.

I've received many newsletters which I couldn't understand why I got, until I noticed the name in the "To"-field. I kept unsubscribing, but I'm still getting new ones, latest one registered today.

Help??

Thank you, Captain Obvious

School life sucks

sharrowsec — Thu, 02 May 2013 16:04:44 GMT

School life really sucks:double fuk:
I bet most of you know how it is so ****** up,
(Just some life experience sharing)
I seriously mean it.
I am quite a unpopular member of the class,
I used to have a best friend in F.3,
but now I am in F.4 and we went to different classes, and I do not have any REAL friends in my class,
most of them are so focusing on the study and trying to do different things to edge out their competitors (I am a big one),
they are not willing to share the past papers, exam tips etc. while they force me to share it but I am not a social person, I do not have much of those,
They wouldnt tell you how to do better in conducting a grade, but keep telling you how the teachers in their tutorial class helped them, and they won't tell you how you can attend to the class
They keep searching for tips from your best subject while they are not willing to share anything good to you (they would say that's nothing big and walk away),
they keep asking you how to do better on English but they keep using some very complicated words in front of you or showing their writing to show you are no better than them.

I sit in school for lunch every day all alone. (mostly the classroom is empty but with me, in HK we can go out to have lunch)
While a girl named "J" always try to show me how better and popular she is, (I cant deny that she is)
When we were in F2 to early F3 we were best friends, but in mid-F3,
I played the guitar better than she does, I can play some musical instruments while she cant, I do better than her in English and I was more popular than her by the time,
Then she started to isolate me, and kept saying some bad words around my friend hood with another girl who said I was the ugliest one in class, (It really hurts at all, even thought you know you are not good looking)
But at F3, I didnt feel that much of pressure since I still got a few friends,.

But now, I feel MUCH worse.
I do not have a friend that could share a secret with me or even gossiping about what I hate, sharing myself, while I keep hearing bad things about me.
And my grades are doing worse than what I did, I failed in Maths and the times I was blamed by the teachers,
I did see J laughing on her own to air, it seriously feel like a punch in the face with a cut in the veins.
They always be friendly to me when they need money,
they thought that I am rich but actually I save my lunch money by bringing my own lunch,
they love to ask for luxury things (I got a imac, nikon d5200...), otherwise they wouldnt even try to talk to me.
Sometimes they even think that I should pay for the fees since I have a better family background.

And Miss "J" love to delete my works,
Once we were working on a school web-coding projects in F3,
I worked on that for the a week's whole nights (or even midnight) making the resources, building the web.
Then she deleted them all in the next day, I found them all gone without a warning... (She got the password to the storage)
while I taught her how to do the coding stuffs and all the rests, she didnt even know how to build a web!
Then the next moment she is the leader, she taught me how to do... (We shouldnt post that on, that sucks.... blah,blah,blah...)
She wrote that I did "50%" of the works, and she took part in the "100%",
maybe, she did typed all the words from paper to computer and use some very "PC" and "pre-set" stuffs (very 2000s style) to replace all mines using the coding stuffs I taught her.
So the site was all of her works.
It is a story about respects and trusts.

Even though that I doing better in school, I feel much pressure than ever if I am not doing well I wouldnt be able to go to university.
(In my school, only 2 students out of 200 didnt go to tertiary educations last year.)
"J" still fake like she is a friend of mine while I heard she said tons of bad things about me and showing how much better she is to me,

I seriously hate myself for being here, but it is an inevitable fact,
So I am really hoping that I could suffer thought the exam that is in June,
And the summer holiday will finally come here then I can have a short rest (I have to prepare for the DSE which is gonna taken 2015:double fuk:)
The worst thing is that I have to face them for the future 3 years, ****...

I have no idea how I can suffer, I dont even have idea for tomorrow, probably I will be sitting all alone again, but I hope I will be fine.
Hopefully I could get into the university and pains end.
How come people care so much about the stupid grades,
Do you really have to be so ******* realistic?
I dont care as long as I can get into the university or join the Design industry by the time.

Dear God, please...
Thank you.
