At Least They Admit The Product Needs More R&D Time . . . . .
Google Admits Buzz Testing Sucked and They Are "Very, Very Sorry"
Google has admitted that their Buzz testing process was equivalent to mine: Click enable, then disable it ninety seconds later. They said to the BBC that their testing sucked donkey balls, which is why many people hate it. The excuse:
We're very early in this space. This was one of our first big attempts. We've been testing Buzz internally at Google for a while. Of course, getting feedback from 20,000 Googlers isn't quite the same as letting Gmail users play with Buzz in the wild. If it becomes clear that people don't think we've done enough, we'll make more changes.
(Gizmodo)
That's what Todd Jackson, Buzz product manager, told BBC News. Google only tested this thing internally, and didn't put the service through the Google Trusted Tester program, like they have done with other services in the past. He also admitted that tens of millions of Buzz users were "rightfully upset" and that Google was "very, very sorry." Todd's right, but I don't think all those "tens of millions of Buzz" ex-users would care about the too late apologies. They do care about the privacy problems and the inbox spamming.

A Reproduction Replica I Would Not Mind Owning . . . . .
2010 Factory Five Mk4 Roadster
"The folks at Factory Five Racing, the premiere Shelby Cobra replica builders in the world, have just come out with their fourth generation roadster complete with a reshaped body for a more period correct look thanks to a new in house fiberglass manufacturing process that significantly reduces the costs to tool the bodywork and apply the paint as well as additional room in the footwells for a more comfortable ride for both the driver and passenger and an optional aluminum shell seat for bigger guys."

Some Good News In Spite Of The Bad News Initially Reported . . . . .
German officials close down Gemballa facility; Uwe Gemballa hiding from German officials?
"According to Cars UK, Gemballa didn’t exactly ’disappear’ when he went to Johannesburg. Turns out, he might be hiding from German authorities. While there’s no definite word on why Gemballa fled out of the Germany, reports have it that German officials raided and effectively closed down his tuning facility, resulting in all the cars in the plant to be impounded.
As a result, all the owners with cars inside would have to show definitive proof that they own those cars for them to have any chance of reclaiming their belongings."

I Guarantee You Have Faced One Of These Interviewers . . . . .
10 types of interviewers and how to deal with them
Your best friend
What to expect: Too much of everything.
You walk in the door and the handshake is a little too enthusiastic. The smile is too wide. The conversation is too personal. It's all just too much.
This interviewer treats you like a best friend, which is nice, but this style is unnerving because you want to be relaxed without forgetting that you are still on an interview.
What to do: Take this approach as a cue that you can be a little less rigid in the interview because the best friend doesn't want an uptight employee.
Just remind yourself that the interviewer can be more casual than you because he isn't the one interviewing for the job.
Show the interviewer that you're relaxed, but stay professional and don't act like you're actually good friends -- stories about wild parties and your personal life don't belong in the conversation.
The interrogator
What to expect: Question after question after question.
The interrogator doesn't come to the interview ready for conversation. He has a list of questions to fire off and you had better be ready to answer them.
Don't expect to receive a lot of helpful feedback to gauge how you're doing. Just expect more questions.
What to do: Watch episodes of "Law & Order" to prepare.
You're going to feel defensive the entire time and might walk away from the interview feeling as if you did something wrong. Once you realize that your interviewer is going to lambaste you with questions, just focus on answering them and don't obsess over reading his reaction.
You can try to initiate conversation with a few of your answers, but don't be surprised if those efforts fail. This interviewer wants to hear your answers and see how you handle yourself, so staying calm is the best approach you can take.
The one who has better things to do
What to expect: An interviewer checking her e-mail, looking at you but not paying any attention to what you say.
Some people are forced to participate in the interview process even if they have no interest in doing it, so don't take it personally.
What to do: Answer the questions and be friendly.
Try to hold conversations with this distracted interviewer and hope you can win her over -- hey, it can't hurt to have someone who likes you. But this interviewer either made up her mind before she walked into the room or doesn't intend to give much feedback about you, so do your best but don't take her disinterest personally.
The inappropriate one
What to expect: Cold sweats because you don't know what to do or say.
Every once in awhile you will encounter an interviewer who doesn't understand limits. You might hear an inappropriate joke, a personal story that should be reserved for a therapist or a question that delves too deeply into your life.
This interviewer probably isn't trying to be inappropriate; he just has no concept of boundaries.
What to do: Stay in your comfort zone.
Just because this interviewer is ready to cry on your shoulder, don't feel pressured into doing the same. Answer what you want to answer and try to steer the conversation back to pertinent topics, such as the job requirements or your qualifications.
The interviewer probably won't realize how off track he is and will follow your lead. Of course, if you think the questions cross a line, then you want to get out of there ASAP.
The rule follower
What to expect: Every interviewing tip you've ever been told.
Just like some students never imagine skipping a day of school or not doing homework, some interviewers can't imagine going outside of traditional business interviewing protocol.
Boring questions and a stoic demeanor are this interviewer's best friend.
What to do: Be the best interviewee you can be.
Do you know what your biggest weakness is? Do you know how to give the perfect handshake? Do you plan on wearing a conservative shirt under your jacket? You had better, because these by-the-book practices will earn you high marks.
The joker
What to expect: A comedy routine.
Some interviewers have such a good sense of humor that they can't shut it off even when they need to. You'll answer a question and you'll receive a sarcastic comment or a funny aside. This approach isn't inherently bad, but it can confuse you because you're not sure if the interview has even begun.
What to do: After a few minutes, you'll realize that your interviewer is a joker.
If this personality bugs you, you probably won't like working for the company. If it doesn't bother you too much, then try to play along.
Joke back and show that you have a personality. For some interviewers, your résumé proved your qualification; the interview is their chance to see if you fit in with the gang.
The weirdo
What to expect: Strange behavior.
We all know odd people, but we often forget that these odd people hold day jobs. And some of them are bosses or hiring managers who conduct interviews. Therefore we shouldn't be surprised when we're interviewed by a peculiar person who has macaroni art hanging in her office or who asks, "Who is your favorite member of the A-Team?"
What to do: Just go with it.
Unless the weird factor transitions into creepy or offensive, you should just answer the questions and ignore oddities.
If the questions and rapport are professional, but the interviewer is working on her origami, stay focused on the interview. She probably has no idea she's doing anything strange and is paying attention to you.
The no-nonsense one
What to expect: Tough love.
This interviewer doesn't believe in sparing your feelings. He's honest and will waste neither his nor your time.
What to do: Brace yourself.
This interviewer will say that he's not sure you're qualified or that he fears you won't fit in with everyone. Prove him wrong with evidence that you are perfect for the job. He won't respect someone who cowers, so be just as firm with him.
The blank slate
What to expect: No feedback.
The blank slate is an interviewer whose face remains unchanged for the duration of the meeting. You won't see any hint that the interview is going well or badly.
What to do: Don't try to break the interviewer's façade.
If you spend the interview looking for clues that you said the right or wrong thing, you'll be miserable.
Answer the questions, be yourself and stay composed. Your instinct will be to think that you're bombing, but you never know with the blank slate, so don't let yourself analyze the situation too much.
The mafia
What to expect: An intimidating group.
Every group interview is an ordeal. The interviewers might be lovely, horrible or a mix, but you still have several sets of eyes staring at you.
What to do: Try to relax.
That seems like impossible advice, but it's the best approach. When you have multiple interviewers, you will see several types of interviewers, so you can't try to please everyone.
Try to be yourself and find the interviewers that seem the most responsive to you. When you see someone nodding in agreement or maintaining eye contact, you'll feel more at ease and the nerves will begin to disappear.

This House Would Make An Awesome Location For A Porn Shoot . . . . .
Home has a ‘party shower’ for 2
"But back to the 2-person shower. It has a 14-showerhead system with Kohler fixtures, and includes an onyx inlay with 6 body sprayers on the side and a rain shower in the middle. There are 2 solid marble seats on each end. There also are “his and her” hand showers, soap dishes and lighting choices.
The whole shower is about 14-feet long (you’re only seeing a part of it, above), so I did feel it necessary — because of journalistic integrity and all — to point out to the contractor and Realtor showing me around that this shower really could fit more than 2 people.
They were sort of speechless at first.
“You could call it the party shower,” conceded Sean Destatte, the contractor."

Please Learn From These 3 High Profile Company's Mistakes . . . . .
The Trade-Off: What Toyota Has in Common With Starbucks and Coach
"Fidelity vs. Convenience
Each of the three companies thought it could be both a "high-fidelity" and a "high-convenience" company at the same time, and that's always a dangerous strategy. A high-fidelity company offers a fantastic, special experience that consumers love. A high-convenience company offers something that's easy for the masses to get and use, and it often becomes a ubiquitous brand, like Walmart (WMT) or McDonald's (MCD).
However, a powerful tension comes between those two polarities. If you add too much convenience to a high-fidelity product, it makes the product less special, less cool. Try to add a lot of fidelity to a high-convenience business, and you'd get McDonald's offering fine wine and white-jacketed waiter service.
Starbucks started out as a high-fidelity coffee company, which is why it could charge a few bucks for a cup of coffee. Starting around 2000, when longtime CEO Howard Schultz left, Starbucks grew at breakneck speed, trying to be both high-fidelity and super-convenient. The company grew so fast that The Onion satirized it with the headline, "New Starbucks Opens in Rest Room of Existing Starbucks."
By 2007, automated machines and poorly trained baristas were making coffee people didn't like as much. Smaller neighborhood coffee shops seemed cooler. And Starbucks sales started to slip, sending its stock into a dive. The share price had been near $40 in 2007 but plunged to $7 in 2008. The tension between fidelity and convenience was too great. Schultz came back as CEO and has since been driving Starbucks back toward fidelity, even closing 600 stores.
Coach made the same strategic mistake. Long the marketer of high-priced bags that women coveted, the company in the last decade expanded broadly and started carrying cheaper stuff. Sales took off for a while, but then the tension ate away the prestige of the Coach brand. Customers abruptly turned away, and that led to a tanking of Coach's share price."

Signs That You Need A New Wingman . . . . .
Ten Signs Your Friend is a Terrible Wingman
1. He Simply Isn’t a Good Wingman
You’ve got your target eating out of the palm of your hand. Your wildly exaggerated stories have her pining over you and wanting your pork sword, but in comes Pvt. Dipshit. He’ll cock block you for his own personal agenda and switch the roles so you become the wingman, and he the pilot. Maybe he wasn’t satisfied with the cock block a.k.a. his target, but that isn’t the point. He is supposed to be there for you, and he isn’t. These types of men are not your friends.
2. He’s being a menace/creeper
He isn’t leering at your target or the cock block, but he’s just giving off this “I touch children with my tongue” vibe. It could be his body language, or the jokes about rape and necrophilia that only good buddies can laugh about. You look at your wingman crashing and burning, going down in flames, and all you can do is scratch your head and hope that your target hasn’t caught wind of his creepiness. If she has, do yourself both a favor and pay your tab and leave.
3. He Isn’t Drunk Enough
This comes under the “he won’t play ball” reason. For some reason your wingman won’t drink, or drink enough to loosen up and be a good wingman. He’s being tighter than the vagina you hope your target has, and it spells trouble for you. If the night is young it’s understandable for him not to be smashed, but at least tipsy. Tipsy enough to get the ball rolling.
4. He’s Too Drunk
Yes, being drunk is good. That 7.5 with chunky legs just turned into an 8.9 with a thick body. But when your wingman is too drunk, hilarity and disaster can/will ensue. He takes one too many drinks, and the gloves come off. He may be subjected to being cussed out or even slapped in the face because he just told the cock block her thighs look like cottage cheese. He gets extra points if he manages to vomit on the cock block or your target. The upside of this, is it makes for a great story.
5. He won’t play ball
He’s just being a poor sport. Either the cock block is too ugly, too fat, breathes out of her mouth… the list of excuses can go on. He seems to forget that the number one rule of being a wingman is support for you, the pilot. He thinks the show is about him tonight, and he’s sadly mistaken. This presents a problem because you want to return the favor by messing up his game when he spots a woman that tickles his fancy. While this is equal payback, two wrongs don’t make a right. Especially if those wrongs lead you to browsing 4tube.com that night.
6. He is Inattentive/borderline ADD
If your wingman really does have ADD, then you should play it to your advantage when he goes chasing after a squirrel. Chicks dig guys who can put up with the mentally handicapped, it shows they have patience. Wingmen are supposed to save their pilots (i.e. if they forget a crucial piece of info the wingman should be there to help him out) but an apathetic one can land both of you in the no-vag ranch quicker than you can say any one syllable word.
7. He smells
This can go one of two ways. He can either smell too good or too bad. Too good in the sense that he bathed in cologne, enough to choke out a horse. The alternate of course, is supremely worse. You’re hitting it off well with your target, and who knows maybe even your wingman is doing good on his promise. She’s rubbing your leg asking to go back to your place, but cock block pulls her aside and whispers in her ear something to the tune of “his friend smells like a dead fish, so he must too”. Even if you scrubbed yourself raw before going out, your friend’s hygiene habit (or lack thereof) has screwed you. Hard. Harder than your target was going to.
8. He tries way too hard
Dude! Just keep casual conversation and be there for me. Why the hell are you talking about sex when she’s telling us about some class. Simmer down and just go with the flow.
9. He refuses to defuse the cock block
You and him have been over it a million times, the wingman always jumps on the grenade. You’ve spun shit into gold for him but apparently it’s one favor he can’t return. Because of him neither of you will be getting laid; what’s worse is he’ll act like it’s your fault like somehow you fucked up when you give him the evil eye as your potential target and cockblock turn on their heels and walk away.
10. He keeps staring at your target; basically saying “my friend wants to lay your tile”
You spent all night proving to the hottest girl on the dance team that she isn’t as cool as she thinks she is and you are indeed the man. You have her half a drink and one giggle away from dropping her Bebe thong on your floor and like a bat out of hell, she hits the brakes. “Is that your friend?” You try to brush it off and shift gears, but she insists that he’s a creeper. Although it has nothing to do with you and your replacement for your right hand for the night, you were just hit with a roadblock. There is always that one shit-head in the group who gets a kick out of watching you pick up girls. Come on man…this is college . . . . .

Even if you scrubbed yourself raw before going out, your friend’s hygiene habit (or lack thereof) has screwed you. Hard. Harder than your target was going to.
8. He tries way too hard
Dude! Just keep casual conversation and be there for me. Why the hell are you talking about sex when she’s telling us about some class. Simmer down and just go with the flow.
9. He refuses to defuse the cock block
You and him have been over it a million times, the wingman always jumps on the grenade. You’ve spun shit into gold for him but apparently it’s one favor he can’t return. Because of him neither of you will be getting laid; what’s worse is he’ll act like it’s your fault like somehow you fucked up when you give him the evil eye as your potential target and cockblock turn on their heels and walk away.
10. He keeps staring at your target; basically saying “my friend wants to lay your tile”
You spent all night proving to the hottest girl on the dance team that she isn’t as cool as she thinks she is and you are indeed the man. You have her half a drink and one giggle away from dropping her Bebe thong on your floor and like a bat out of hell, she hits the brakes. “Is that your friend?” You try to brush it off and shift gears, but she insists that he’s a creeper. Although it has nothing to do with you and your replacement for your right hand for the night, you were just hit with a roadblock. There is always that one shit-head in the group who gets a kick out of watching you pick up girls. Come on man…this is college . . . . .

This Just Makes Me Go EEEEEwwwww . . . . . .
6 Sexual Records NOT to Be Proud Of
Most Semen Swallowed - Having swallowed the most amount of semen ever officially recorded Michelle Monaghan had 1.7 pints (0.96 liter) of semen pumped out of her stomach in Los Angeles in July 1991. Although as men we’d like to give this young lady a Hi-5, we know this is probably something she won’t want to tell her kids.
Most Sexual Partners - The female gangbang world record is owned by a woman named Houston who had intercourse with 620 men in one day! A video was made of this historic event. As it took about 10 hours (with a few very brief breaks) to do it, the average time of intercourse was less than 58 seconds. Source I downloaded one of these giant gangbangs and was surprisingly turned off. If anything changes, I’ll be sure to give this a look.
Biggest Orgy - This record was achieved in Japan. 250 couples took part in the world’s biggest orgy. It’s safe to say that half of these participants were men right? So if you attended you’d get to see 124 other dongs sharing the same hole that you just enjoyed. Sounds fun, thanks Japan!
Most Violent Semen Reaction – Pay attention: If she tells you that she’s allergic to facials, listen to her. Sure it might seem like a dumb excuse, but this shit is real.
In one case reported in 1967 a girl had an acute allergic reaction to human sperm. She came from a family with a long history of various kinds of allergy, including eczema, asthma, and dermatitis. A short time after her first sexual experience she developed a rash and asthma; her lips, eyelids, tongue, and throat became swollen, she had violent pains in the pelvis and finally lost consciousness. Most of these symptoms appeared every time she had sexual intercourse: they began within half an hour and lasted well into the next day. When semen diluted one part per million was injected under her skin it left an angry weal, so intense was the girl’s reaction.
Fastest achieved male orgasm – 6.4 percent of males are able to climax in less than a minute. Getting called a two minute man is a blow to anyone’s ego. Just remember, there’s plenty of faster “draws” than you.
Highest sexual expenses incurred – When it came to busting a nut, Louis the 15th didn’t shy away from throwing a few stacks at his hoes. Some of the major items apart from board and lodging on a luxurious scale – were indemnities paid to families, dowries for those who were married off, the maintenance of illegitimate children, presents to the élèves, and the particular expense of Mere Bompart. It has been estimated that in the thirty-four years of its existence the Parc aux Cerfs cost nearly 20 million dollars, or around $600,000 a year.
