Did you know superman has an iPad too?
Yep, even he can’t resist the urge to get on board the bandwagon and be one of the normal people.
Too bad he got over zealous and downloaded the “Phantom Zone” app.
Now his iPad is filled with low life Kryptonian scum.
Damn you General Zod, Ursa and Non!
Can’t you just leave good old Supes alone?
All he want’s to do is kick back in the fortress of solitude with his ipad and enjoy the……umm….solitude.
The really sad thing is that this comic could easily be mistaken for fact.
It is old news now that facebook is in real trouble and whomever it is over there making the decisions on website changes & policy direction, is in serious need of an old school kick in the ass.
Facebook needs to decide very soon what they are going to do to address the unrest and mistrust that they themselves, have created within their user base.
Perhaps the entire business of facebook has just been one big scam to get data to onsell to advertisers? (or as they phrase it “create the open graph protocol for the web”)
Either that, or we are about to see the most the start of the new way that things work on the web, with facebook blazing the path for others to undoubtedly follow. THEY will tell you what you want, rather than listening to your requests?
Many would argue that some corporations and/or industries have been working this way for many years already.
Personally, I am just waiting to see what happens on May 31st, which is “Quit Facebook Day”. Sites such as QuitFacebookDay.com are encouraging you to Delete Facebook accounts on 31 May 2010, if you are fed up of Facebook and its privacy issues.
Facebook has already announced that their privacy settings system will be overhauled some time in the next few weeks, with CEO Mark Zuckerberg more recently admitting in an email exchange to “a bunch of mistakes”. Will these overhauls actually happen?
Possibly, but I think it will not be in the way that the general public are expecting.
Will the mass deletion of accounts really occur?
Yes, I believe some people will make a display of deleting their facebook accounts, but the QuitFacebookDay site shows only around 15,000 committed to this at the time of writing this post. This is not about 0.03% of the total number of facebook users.
If I were a betting man, I would say that I expect at least 45% of the users that delete their accounts on facebook to be back there again in less than 3 months.
So, I look forward to seeing what will occur. Let’s hope it is truly memorable and positive.
Where do you hide yours?
Do you have a special folder on the computer, that is named something so boring that no-one checks it?
Maybe you keep your digital porn on a secret removable drive, which you stash away under your mattress (like you used to do when you had dirty magazines)?
Perhaps you are one of the modern breed that openly looks at online porn and even shares it with your wife/husband/partner/cat/dog, etc.
But no matter how grownup and modernly adventurous you become, I will bet you still don’t want to let your mum find it.
As I promised, I am once again going to point you in the direction of some online strips that I like.
I hope you like them too. Give them a chance and also let the creators know you like ’em by leaving them a comment. (only if you actually do, of course).
Now get clicking, so you can check out:

Mocktopus is a fantastic little strip that I am glad I found. Max Huffman is the creator of the strip, but is also a regular fifteen year old high school student. Or is he?? Max describes the strip as “an interspace comicbomb designed to delight and terrify”. It is a gag-a-day style strip, but with a few recurring characters from time to time. Partly autobiographical and mostly just plain odd but hilarious. Personally, I really enjoy max’s art style as well. |

Kiwi Blitz is a webcomic which chronicles the adventures of a couple of teenagers’ attempts to fight crime in the not-too-distant future. It’s a mix of anime, superheros, teen angsty stuff and it even has a giant robot Kiwi bird. Yes, you read that correctly. The strip is created by Mary Cagle, and it has a clean, colourful and expressive manga style. Although it is a fairly young strip, the story shows great promise, so read it from the start and I am sure you will want to stick with it. |
