I've had my preferences to always not show when I upload images in my activity feed, but all the images i've been uploading now have been showing on my feed since the new code was introduced.

It keeps changing the format.  I swear, it's not me and I keep trying to fix it, do so and then it formats it again - very annoying. "
Try using the table feature, much easier to read than dots.

B. If I like a song and don't understand what's being said, then yes I do look them up.

Looks better than the Batarang that came with Arkham Asylum Collector's Edition. Still, images can be deceiving, I wonder if the quality is really that nice.

  @Mordukai: I bought the Halo edition myself just because Hottopic.com was having a sale and I wanted a 360. I don't like the color at all, looks very tacky, but it was cheap so I got it.

" The first day sales figures are in, Japanese blogger Sinobi has provided them
In a country where on a bad day the PS3 outsells the XBOX 360 10 -1, the 360 figures are impressive:
  • The PS3 version - 93,000 units   
  • The 360 version - 45,000 units        
"
That's awesome! The game's already doing well in sales on the first day alone. Hopefully sales will continue to be high. I wonder how many pre-orders have already been placed for other countries.

" For some it matters how a person is buried and what they are buried in. "
There's no doubting that, but no one is forcing anyone to purchase a coffin from Wal-Mart. If someone wants to spend thousands of dollars on a casket somewhere else, they can. I doubt businesses that sell expensive caskets will go out of business just because Wal-Mart is selling cheap coffins.

No results. Did some googling though: 
http://www.newser.com/story/72900/wal-mart-enters-coffin-biz.html 
 http://www.marketingmagazine.co.uk/news/949483/Wal-Mart-begins-stocking-coffins-funeral-urns/ 
 Through the last article, this search result on Wal-Mart works: http://www.walmart.com/search/search-ng.do?ic=48_96&search_constraint=0&search_query=funerals

Even if they weren't selling coffins, I don't understand how this is a bad thing? If you want your loved ones buried, now you have a more reasonable way of doing it. Honestly, the body is going to be buried under ground, it doesn't matter if the coffin is cheap or if it's expensive with elegant designs etched onto it. It's going under ground, no one's going to see it and it will eventually degrade no matter what. 
 
As for buying urns at Wal-Mart and other similar stores, I don't see a problem with that either.

  • I'm not really sure how to make an activity list look less spammy besides alternating between two [background] colors for each activity -- I think it would make it easier to read. 
  • I think both being able to filter by content type and by user would both be useful, but if only one had to implemented I'd say filtering by user would be better. 
  • The only way I would like voting to be implemented would be in the style of urbandictionary.com, where both positive and negative votes are calculated instead of having just one score overall. I'm not sure how voting would work, but if someone really thought a user's post stood out perhaps you could somehow make a system that let's users favorite posts and collect them on a "favorite" page. This would probably be complicated to implement, but I think it would be neat. :P
  • I don't really see the usefulness of commenting on activity unless it was for someone's edits on a wiki page or a guide they posted. Otherwise I just see people going to the user's page and leaving a wall comment about it. 
 
Anyway, all these new features sound really cool. Keep up the good work guys!
