(Man have I been busy, hi all!)
I would happily pay a bit more for Netflix if it kept fresh content for my rare binge-watching sessions. On a funny note HBO Go is similar to Netflix as far as signing in on remote devices; I actually borrowed my mothers login since I don't watch cable (streaming and Blu-Ray house).
@scottalanmiller I actually did drop Hulu for the ads recently.

I think that it would be pretty cool. Putting a person into chronological context.
You could have a "play" button and a speed control. Watch events unfold over time.
Pictures, videos, posts, audio.... All playing back at a relational rate to when they happened.
I like this. gears turning
I like the fine print at the top: "Mac OS X Mavericks is also a *nix, and also vulnerable to the Bash bug."
ServerMonkey.com on the bill!
On a side note we are no longer participating in SpiceWorks for the time being, so please reach me here or just give me a ring and I can get you in touch with sales/support/guy-in-the-monkey-suit.
Haven't been on in awhile, liking the new changes good job team!
you know this is probably possible at a lightweight level through node.js and the google search API. maybe.
I feel like "Oedipus complex and a time machine" is the makings of a really good insult.

Be right back, putting up kickstarter.
@scottalanmiller
That'll be my next move.
Any guess what that would cost? Lol
Say 6mos startup window?
$150k for something presentable?
-$40k 6mo colo server rentals (need some horsies under the hood)
-$10k Google personnel bribes
-$90k for 4-6 peeps to take off work for 6mos
$10k misc hardware, pizza, and beer/soda

I'm sure they meant unknown to the masses.
The duh-masses.
Well played.

Am I missing something, or isn't this something like a supersized Facebook?
I think this would be a service that does it for you instead of the manual posting. It's like a meta-Facebook.
With the entire internet; kind of like a windows explorer for your entire online life.
EDIT: not the entire internet, just forums, facebook, etc. haha

This conversation made me have to have pizza at work since I was working late and they catered.
I went to Applebee's tonight.
I'm not a fan of their food, but their happy hour? Ridiculous.
Cowboy burger with smokey mayo instead of the BBQ sauce. You can thank me later.
I'll thank you now; I never liked their BBQ sauce so i think that might actually be enough to turn that frown upside down. (Technically speaking.)
So, what about something where you can manage your online history? I mean obviously you cannot remove anything technically, but for most average people it's quite possible to edit/remove old forum posts, accounts, etc.
Honestly I'm sure there's registrations for all sorts of things I haven't used in years across my emails that I'd like to peek at.
(In brainstorming mode.)
@ajstringham You sir, are a genius; I might be sending you messages at random hours for food suggestions.
@scottalanmiller said:
Yeah. Pretty hypothetical. I think a basic playback history machine is enough for now. Being an aggregator is one thing. Being a "manage your life" thing is another.
Plus, I'm sure there's already a few thousand "manage your online presence" click-baits taking up that niche haha.
I've thought about it for my home office, but I don't think I could pull off the tint in public/work without getting 90's Matrix cracks.
As far as I know they're just an anti-reflective coating and tint; so you're only getting the light from the monitor and not what's being reflected off of it, and the tint is for more warm visibility (if you don't adjust monitor tint).
Haha my roommate actually made me watch this yesterday. Sheesh that guy kept talking forever!
@IRJ I did a very, very short stint at a Radio Shack part time. It was very similar, and I left after they were able to rotate more people in. I got a kick out of being able to see their back-end systems and ERP though. Retail markups are ridiculous.

@MattKing , went to Applebee's tonight in your honor and had the burger I told you about. Delish! No mudslide though. I was a cheap date for myself tonight. I also went because of friend of mine waits tables there, and so I made sure to leave her a nice tip as well.
So, I looked it up and the only one is in northwest Houston, but I'm going to make the trip soon! Good man on the tipping, food service is never easy IMO.
Did anyone have the old iMac/iPods? I had the lime green CRT iMac I used to play some serious StarCraft on.
