The figures appear in this film are all kinds of people who come to this cafe. But the leading characters are Doer and Qiang'er. They are sisters, but they have different dreams. In this cafe, people talk about their worries and their unfinished dreams. Actually, this is a film which is about dream, value and...more
Today, there are two worlds that a person may dwell at. One is the real world where everyone and almost any normal being reside. It is the place where you are sitting now at the moment, the place your school and house and office are located, the place called Earth. The other one is somewhat virtually. It is located in a remote place and sometimes considerable inexistent but holds all the information as if the one owns it is really a living thing. This is the place where hundreds, or thousands, or even millions of people stay majority of their time either for the purpose of working, leisure, or plain surfing. This is the place called the World Wide Web.There had been many innovations in the internet or the WWW since it was first introduced for commercial usage in the late 1980's. These days, every person who wishes to have a blog site where he or she can post his or her ideas and sentiments is very much possible. One can also save pictures of escapades and other personal adventures through image hosting sites such as Photobucket. Even so, other files like videos and sounds can be stored at select hosting sites like Vimeo, YouTube, and Imeem. However, among the many...more

How I got Banned from FacebookWhen I was booted, I received no email, no msg, no confirmation. Just a generic link to the Facebook Terms of Service. For 3 weeks, I received no responses to any of the Facebook email addresses for disabled accounts. And then 3 weeks later, I get 1 email (see below), and my account is turned back on.Since Facebook is a we-learned-from-myspace's-mistakes kind of site, they are super, super, super paranoid about Spam. So they have a few strict published rules like:No non-person profiles (you have to make a "fan page"). No porn. And then, they have serveral internal rules, which will cause you a lot of frustration if you don't know about them.Those internal rules are:No repeat messaging. No over-inviting. No scraping (copy/pasting emails from facebook). Overall, I agree with these policies. Here's the problem: They can't manage 6 billion people's behavior. No freaking way. So they have all these little internal Facebook Robots that are set to attack upon certain conditions.There's no robot that can tell a business profile page from a personal profile page, which is why businesses still have profile pages. They can't write a robot smart...more
