Oh dear.....

I'll admit it, I used to play Farmville. I tried Mafia Wars for a few days. I even sit down for a nice game of hold 'em every once in a while. But this, and I think you will agree, is rather ridiculous.Perhaps you hope, as I do, that this faked or photo shopped or something, and it probably is. But if, however astronomical the odds, this is authentic, then I've just discovered I live in world much more messed up than I thought it was.

However, none can deny that these Facebook games are extremely popular, (apparently) very addictive, and an excellent way for companies to earn money. Which is why Google has quietly invested $100-200 million in Zynga games in preparation for Google games.
So hurrah! For Google! And an excellent investment! Actually, TechCrunch (the source that reported this) believes it's a move to break Facebook media dominance by grabbing the behemoth behind it. Google Me is the supposed upcoming assassin of Facebook, and this act of foul play pretty much shows how serious they are, namely, by hitting the farms.

A Timeline of Computers Past

A history of all the computers I/my family has owned. Quite a melancholy post, this is.
Compaq Presario

My very first computer. I threw him away a long time ago. But I loved him very much, even though my parents hogged him all the time and all I ever did was play games anyway.

Gateway SoloMy first laptop. I still have it, though of course it's a lot crappier than the picture, since it's wrapped in tape and whatnot. It runs XP, though veeerrrryyyy slowly, seeing as it was made for 2000. It is well in its years and serves as decoration to lighten the gloomy mood in my basement.

Dell LatitudeThis is still a very good laptop, but I don't have him anymore. He would be very fast at T5800, but my father works with large statistical files that take up way to much disk space, consequently slowing performance. Plus, he never bothered to get antivirus on it. Lazy bum.

Dell Inspiron
I am typing on him this very moment! How it refreshes me so. Of course, it's already slowing after a year of use and it carries the classic power cord issue and has gone through only Vista but I shan't complain, imagine if I were still using the Gateway (which, miraculously, still runs Internet, though very slowly)!

Adding to my list of things to do before I die: visit the children's hospital in Australia. Gotta love those Aussies.
