OK, I think Google is going to win. Is that a safe bet? I don't want to be on the losing side.

*shrug*

in the end, regardless of who wins, you still get screwed.

Both of them have been pretty careless about respecting your privacy.

True. However, I don't like the idea of it taking place in the future. It's a whole new idea for the Terminator franchise that no one is familiar with.

Well we were talking about it at the office today and a lotta guys would really like to see a new movie in teh franchise that deals with "that" world, like, the aftermath. We've seen enough of the "omfg-if-we-dont-stop-this-we'll-all-die-omg" series.

Yeah. 4, 5, and 6 have been confirmed and they will all take place in the future. Terminator 4 will be called "Terminator: Salvation"

BTW, I think we sidetracked this thread.

Okay, I'm missing how facebook knows what your doing when you're not on it...

I've been so naive. But I've never gotten messages about what my friends are buying.
