It’s interesting to note that the internet originally flourished thanks to porn what with a large portion of internet users searching the stuff; thehun.com was one of the first site I became aware of after a friend brought my attention to it. As websites moved away from Flash & towards Web 2.0, porno was left behind. The last couple of years has seen this change quite dramatically. Megarotic, RedTube are just some of the sites gaining huge popularity allowing users to upload their own vids & comment on the ones there.

I came across another site, melissamidwest, who came to internet stardom from publicity received as a result of her nude adventures in her local club.

Porn star Asia Carrera turns out to be a computer geek who plays games & looks after her daughter..

Check out her blog http://www.asiacarrera.com/index3.html

If you want to attract a girl like Asia, check out “How to Attract Asian Women” lol

You can actually read the whole book on that link at Google Books. I read a little bit of it, entertaining read.

Apparently Google’s spending millions of dollars for computers to scan books to help them sort through websites.

I’d be a bit weary of how Finance is taught at Columbia now… If I remember correctly, Warren himself has disagreements over the way it’s taught there & thus refused to offer any contributions to the department.

I stand to be corrected on this.
