Why Didn't Second Life Become a Hit?

http://lockergnome.net - http://twitter.com/chrispirillo - http://facebook.com/chrispirillo - Over on Lockergnome, Guyfromdenmark wonders why Second Life never became a hit. When it was first launched, he (and all of us, really) thought that it would be a HUGE deal. It pretty much just fizzled and died, and our Denmark friend asks the community their thoughts on what happened. http://chris.pirillo.com - http://live.pirillo.com

Why Didn't Second Life Become a Gaming Hit?

http://twitter.com/chrispirillo - http://facebook.com/chrispirillo - http://lockergnome.net - Over on Lockergnome, Guyfromdenmark wonders why Second Life never became a hit. When it launched, it appeared as though it would be HUGE - and it didn't. He was confused, and asked opinions from the community as to what we feel caused it to "flop" in comparison to what it should have done. http://chris.pirillo.com - http://live.pirillo.com

Harmonious ke

http://go.tagjag.com/harmonious - http://facebook.com/chrispirillo - http://twitter.com/chrispirillo - I purchased the Harmonious Sketchpad app for my iPhone AND my iPad after seeing someone demonstrate it. I love to pretend I'm an artist by creating something unique and fun, and this app is one of the best I've found to help me do this. The touch interface is very intuitive, allowing you to interact with the same elements as found on the web. http://chris.pirillo.com - http://lockergnome.net

What is the Size of Your Largest Hard Drive?

http://go.tagjag.com/3tb - http://twitter.com/chrispirillo - http://facebook.com/chrispirillo - What's the biggest hard drive you have in your possession right now? Which single hard drive in your home has the largest capacity? I happen to have a 3 TB drive here, sent to me as a review unit by Seagate. It's their FreeAgent GoFlex external drive. If you remember, I've reviewed some of their stuff in the past, and been very happy with it. Does this particular drive stand up to the test? http://chris.pirillo.com

QR Relay Copies a URL From a Browser to a Phone

http://go.tagjag.com/quiqr - http://twitter.com/chrispirillo - http://facebook.com/chrispirillo - There are many different ways that you can copy a URL from a browser on your desktop (or laptop!) onto your mobile device. I've tried several of them, and finally have found what I feel is the easiest method of all. Google Chrome has an extension called "QR Relay" which is free to use. It will create a QR code from any web page which you can then scan into your phone using a corresponding application. On the iPhone, I happen to use quiQR. http://chris.pirillo.com - http://lockergnome.net

Why Do Law Enforcement Officials Love the iPhone?

http://twitter.com/chrispirillo - http://facebook.com/chrispirillo - http://chris.pirillo.com - Did you know just how MUCH information the iPhone stores on you? Police do, and they LOVE the iPhone for making it easier to track down criminals. The Chicago Sun Times discussed exactly what the iPhone stores without your knowledge, and we discuss this in today's video. Lamarr didn't know that quite this much information was captured and stored without your knowledge - did you? http://youtube.com/wilsontech1 - http://lockergnome.net

How Do You Deal With Bullies?

http://lockergnome.net - http://twitter.com/chrispirillo - http://facebook.com/chrispirillo - Over on Lockergnome, Pretty Pink asked a question about dealing with school bullies. Apparently, this is a hot topic, as it has received more answers and discussion from the community than most other questions on the site. It's sad to see that so many of you have to deal with some type of bully, be it in a school setting or online. In my opinion, people who bully others do so because something is seriously lacking in their own lives. No matter their reason for acting out this way, we still all have to find ways to deal with them when the situation arises. http://chris.pirillo.com - http://live.pirillo.com
