  1. <p>mmm constructive games ... like baseball ... soccer ... dancing, etc something off the computer</p> <p>also helping out the parents or the community or shopping</p> <p> </p> <p>my korean friends sister is encouraged to do things that keeps her mindful of the people around her</p> <p>not 24x7 computer and twitter and chatting</p> <p> </p> <p>my brother says hardly any kids use the play grounds or the ball fields</p> <p>you can have a family come to a party and notice that their all on their smartphones</p> <p>they would tweet each other rather than actually talk to each other</p> <p> </p> <p><a href="http://www.drphil.com/articles/article/297">http://www.drphil.com/articles/article/297</a></p> <p>this is an article about violent games from Dr Phil ... even following guidlines that game companies make their games ... its up to you to moderate their usage and their activities under your roof</p> <p> </p> <p>violent games ... shooting people ... raping people ... using the knife to kill the oppenent ... how to jack a car ... getting a goth tattoo etc ...</p> <p> </p> <p>games that teach like a submarine, or strategic battle ... its not that bad ... unless the kid loves carnage and romances the death of his victims ... romancing the general things about the military is healthy ... its just a what-if ... some games give the kid some knowledge of what they want to be ... like seeing what a policeman does ... what a lawyer does ... etc ... getting involved in constuctive things like making things like art, writing, etc</p> <p> </p> <p>look my bro got the message from his wife regarding their sons marks in school ... it was about biology and pre-calc class ... it appears that there is a high expectation to do well ... the kids get the help they need in school ... much more than I did and much better ... my main concern is that both parties aren't listening or speaking to each other ... like if the parent says only one hour of play and the boy plays three hours ... the boy isn't using his time effienctly ...</p> <p>both parties need to see what is happening ... the parents need to see things beyond anger</p> <p> </p> <p>as long as you know your kids well enough if they can truly take the violent games ... sometimes some games have more cross over of the boundaries on rating ... games have parents review ... in the old days ... the games we played were not as violent ... as long as parents we made sure they knew its a game ... but the kids played with other kids for real ... they saw the real time effect of the consequence of their actions because of going overboard ... in video games there is no moderation like that ... some don't realize there is a real person on the otherside of the game </p> <p> </p> <p>the other issue of online video games is the chat feature .. predators and peer pressure ... it seems that is worst than the old days of playing games</p> <p> </p> <p>some parents don't check the rating or the kids get their hands on games that they are not suppose to get ... sometimes they play at their friends games ... whos parent lets them to have the higher rating games ... some kids may share the online access codes to more violent games or they find out through forums and game sites</p> <p> </p> <p>there is a lacking of games that teaches real humanity ... that was something that the scouts provided ... sports ... and other activities ... but when kids get into the wrong things ... those things can changed them ... the developmental years are important ... for when they are in high school most of their personality is there ... then you will see the beginnings of who they will be that you may not like</p> <p> </p> <p>knowing who your kids are is important ... it helps you teach who they will become ... my old land lords kid ... he has a nose for trouble because of middle son jealously ... I missed out his teen years ... but I bet that high school and more responsibilities help straighten out the middle son jealously ... he's now thirty ... and in the acting business ... he reach the goal that many of the boys talked about years ago ... it was a matter of whom would be an actor, or an accountant, etc ... years ago ... he liked to bully his brother ... or on the first day of little league ... to intend to have a fight with another kid ... but never think about the consequences .... but since I was moderating him at the time ... I used the smarts to keep both boys from attacking each other like young bulls ... it worked and it was the smart thing to do ... if their own parent were to moderate ... either they let the fight happen or the father issues abusive punishment ... I did see partly this boy growing up in his teens ... sometimes he's responsible and sometimes he's very selfish to the point that he is abusive to other people ... perhaps in time he's learn that lesson or maybe not ... but now he is a man ... he's learn to be in the acting business and earn a living ... his parents are supportive ... much like they are with their older son ... i hope he never had the lesson of unwanted teen pregnancy/</p> <p> </p> <blockquote class="ipsBlockquote" data-author="Graeme" data-cid="396559" data-time="1356141614"> Again, an unjustified generalisation. My boys love their violent games (World for Tanks, Team Fortress 2), but they also enjoy playing one of the best constructive computer games around: Minecraft. My youngest son created a special Minecraft presentation for his class for their end-of-year break up (and he's only 11). He loves both types of games.<br /> <br /> Playing violent games does not preclude playing constructive games as well.</blockquote>
  2. thank you for your apple review rilber Question does apple detect rogue apps that try to steal pw and user info used in banking?? That the next issue in 2013 ... people pls reguarly check your balances n statements ... its a cyber attack thats coming in addition to the fiscal cliff I am not a smartphone user ... so one day if I do become one ... I will have to play with the unit until I see its usable for me but still I would keep in mind everyone's reviews of their phones Microsoft is copying apple: * certifying applications * charging model 70% rev goes to dev, 30% rev goes to apple the issue is that the seller must multiply what they want to make from the app by 130% ... 100 sale -> 130 app store sale I do realize every phone has its problems that is designed that way ... by QA ... acceptable issues so far I only know of apple ... I was a bit intimated by the android commercials ... they didn't say what they were but they reminded me of Battlestar Galactica here is the issues of iphone in general * a user I know bought an iphone 4\4s - that phone had a power drain issue - it was about apps running - he hoped that apple would come up with a patch in the next month or two ... wrong ... none ... I suppose after that ... he sold his iphone and upgraded to the next model * Apple Maps - everyone knows its suicide to release a software that's like alpha-ware - the smart move was to release it when its ready - I heard apple doesn't release any product news until its ready - that's policy that Cook said on TV ... well he's the one responsible for the blunder ... an article written about cook - he doesn't care about it - he cares about the sexy curve design of an iphone or laptop - but not the user functionality - until they lash back with complaints * Google Maps - it seems to me that I seem to hear that upon the release of iphone5 - apple block users from adding google maps to the iphone - that in itself would be highly illegal if it were true or not - what is your impression of the apple appology - it tells you how to enable google maps they blocked ... its wrong for them to block the free choice of the user * the connector - apple has people buy new connectors - its an issue but really its not because non-apple phone people always have to buy new add ons - the connectors always change * Everything apple - yes you can not buy an OEM or non approved apple add-on - the reason why - it decreases incompatibility - it increases apple sales of everything - it increases the user experience * battery - I guess the innovation of the molded battery - is to prevent OEM batteries from damaging the iphone - however it forces the user to upgrade to a new phone even though a detachable battery would make the user investment worth more * scratchability of the iphone5 - another apple customer issue - where does apple anticipate the user experience again? * purple glare on photos * photo taking - I hear the issue is that u take a picture of someone ... the background is out of focus and the foreground is out of focus ... in regular cameras f-b-grounds are sometimes in focus * light leaking out of phone * rattling parts inside phone * date n time bug * unresponsive touchscreen yes I heard that the ios is better than the android and java library is more efficient than the android os ... android is only two years old I hear and apple is like 5 years old ... software gets more polished as it ages ... apple has 3 years on android ... To quote Steve Wozniak, Apple Co-Founder, "“My primary phone is the iPhone,” Woz says. “I love the beauty of it. But I wish it did all the things my Android does, I really do.” The purpose of having competition is that it causes each maker ... to improve their products for people to buy the brand ... microsoft had to keep apple around so that they would not be considered a monopoly ... its funny that microsoft didn't buy red hat to combat linux The reality is that not very many people really care about that deep the technical comparisons ... it gets anal retentive in terms of that people don't understand what all this sw mombo jobo means ... all they care is that they use their phone and it works ... the less they have to complain about the better the perception of the product ... the product is dam reliable ... but not too reliable ... people need something to complain about ... otherwise paying for service contracts ... no company makes money * Steve Jobs effect - well apple does well when he is around to challenge his company to make the products that he is so passionate about ... I've seen the doco ... he made apple a real company that prides itself behind the product it sells ... unlike microsoft ... abandonment galore ... but jobs isn't around any more ... apple historically languishes ... the good question - can cooks change that? - from a recent interview - its wait and see but I've already seen the blunders ... and yes microsoft has made a similar blunder too ... we wonder what will become of its products to come or will their pad die?? yes - i have been through - you have to use the equipment that the company uses - yes I have been in a company that changes the equipment out frequently because of cost and reliability - the change is erky - but the fun is when you mastered the use of the new equipment - I been with a company that runs its equipment into the ground before they change it out ... it makes you resilient to try to adapt in keep customer experience highly efficient I have to say ... I don't go by identity if I have an iphone or android - I go by that it functions well - even if I have to give up interoperbility I used a pager from work ... then the world changed when we moved to RIMM ... I'm glad I never made it to smartphone ... its hell to pay when the company wants more of your life in the off hours I remain an observer of the product or company preferences ... I hope one day some of the products makes its way into my life if its needed to make it productive please note its ok to have an apple or an android or any phone u can afford ... not everyone can afford a lexus but can afford a toyota or can only afford a hyundi just make sure it doesn't break down on the road as well as the repairs and maintenance and cost of ownership is within your budget ... going chapter 11 isn't worth the problems ... if status was key it sounds like horror stories ... if someone has to sell their first born to own an apple product when they can afford something lessor ... I like to hear more of android n blackberry complaints as well as praises ... every company has good and bad
  3. agree to policies is one thing ... but ... putting out a bad app that's after your personal info is a very risky possibility I heard apple checks out apps and certifies them - not verified - I don't own any apple products I am no sure if amazon, microsoft, or android does this if I infer the 30% cut in app sales by Microsoft ... we better hope Microsoft certifies apps for that price how many install mcaffee in their smart phones? lol the holes in design lets security app maker have another recurring income because we're unwilling to pay the price up front I hope that apple is real good at keep rogue apps off anyones iphone for the high price they charge probably not ... i just learn my bro has mcaffee on his mac laptop
  4. I think my bro has a blackberry or some smart phone ... he has to take out the battery after charging ... it won't come out of sleep mode
  5. Sure I know it takes time for the truth come out ... the discussion is our own investigation The discussion will not be definitive because none of us are criminologist, CSI, or forensics experts. We're sharing our thoughts as to help each other understand the truth that's out there The discussion is difficult because it requires us to see beyond our beliefs and understanding Just think about it ... how many of us would really watch a documentary (about murders, serial killers, etc) or CourtTV very few ( among the few are the ones who like to learn to do the crime better) Any one watch the TV series Alcatraz Noticed that series stopped after the 12th episode Rilbur gave us a the sort of illustration of Minority Reports (Tom Cruise) movie He is saying that there is a possibility of FALSE POSITIVE Sure it can happen ... but its the experts that have to ring out the kink in their detection of a potential serial killer, etc Yes its debatable about violent games ... but its message is quite clear ... it depends upon how mature one is to play them and to know that acting out the violence in public is unacceptable remember violence and war changes people ... in most cases it for the worst if you can realized its just a thrill and its a game ... its entertainment ,,, the makers - reoccurring income then possible you're someone who can handle the addiction Human beings can get easily addicted to things like games .... violent games decreases social skills ... it increases the possibility of hostility ... not every one can take the violence ... peer pressure is the worst thing the big issues is about what parts of the brain that a violent game stimulates in the brain when the brain is hyper-stimulated in a certain way ... higher functions are disabled the person is possibly open to be reprogrammed or behavior is predictable there is a lacking in people that play violent games they will not play constructive games ... because it doesn't feed their addiction nor hyper-stimulates their minds the reason behind playing some healthy games is to exercise the mind to a more normal function
  6. Isn't part of the issue if the person prone to criminal behavior? Paul Cooijmans stated years ago:
  7. I heard about the iphone ... as a phone it sucks ... as a computer its grand ... as ipod extension ... one is happy to have their music as a camera its meant to take pictures of the person ... not fore or background which is fuzzy what can be said about a android ... and a blackberry?
  8. if you're a gay boy under 16 ...
  9. how many people now have to clean up the "after-party hangover and cleanup are a bitch" lol we survive another day, now the doomsday preppers are waiting for the economy meltdown
  10. Below is an article spoke about the mother's need for affection from her children. Look I didn't press for a friendship with my korean friends sister. Looking back, she was very good person in her own way. I had not seen her in a bad mood ever. Her family does what they can to keep her socially active rather than to let her isolate herself. When my korean friend and I visit her from time to time ... she remembered me ... she even said hi We did some sort of activity with her ... I forgot what it was ... but we all respected each other It was a very normal visit The lesson I saw ... we're there for them to make sure they have a normal healthy life as best as they can manage Sure I bet the family wish this burden was lighter ... but I notice the mother found the strength in her belief in god Perhaps its about being a big brother or a big sister ... its about them ... not us ... its about servicing them As for Adam Lanza, we don't know how the parents helped him in his developmental years in regards to showing affection. We don't know what the doctors ordered as a plan of care for Adam and how much the mother ignored the plan. There is an article that speaks about putting her son in some sort of care program and Adam got upset about it. Another article states that Adam wasn't the same after the divorce ... we don't know what the mother did to influence her son to shut his father and brother out of his life and progressively shut other people out of his life. Home schooling I dear say made things worst. I bet the mother ignored doctors recommendations.
  11. a possible motive
  12. Enjoy your holidays ... remember long hugs and lots of them ...
  13. I have been reading too ... in my life time perhaps I met one or two or more ... I respected their space ... and let them be Nothing terribly to worry about ... Lanza is still unconfirmed about having aspergers ... investigators are trying to find out what his real mental condition is according to googling ... its est 68 million world wide has aspergers of some kind If you read the stories ... people normally forget people with disabilities ... not even have such people in their lives me I always notice everyone ... I remember people ... its sad how we treat people with disabilities I remember my korean friends sister ... she was autistic ... my friend needed to transport her to her environment so I helped with no questions and got to learn what her routine life was about everything was rooted in good wholesome environment ... nothing violent ... no weapons ... lots of family love her life is very routine ... home .. work ... chores ... family visits ...
  14. lol, the empire strikes back!!
  15. Yes, I agree that aspergers made him an efficient killer ... He exceeded everyone's expectations by acting out his violent video gamer and weapon skills. and that's what upset the public ... he scored the #2 position for the most kills If he had join the military service then No one would blame him for shooting in a war zone. He demonstrated that he didn't care about his mother, the school staff, or the children. There are things that makes his aspergers ... atypical ... there is a lacking of knowing what his medical diagnosis is. We don't know about his particular condition. Yes, aspergers didn't kill those people theoretically ... Lanza killed them with asperger efficiency Here is a story that explains in detail of what is known so far. It explains how efficient he carried out his mission. I bet the video game companies are going to get some bad press when those games are named by title. The gamers website will have to change something about its membership or what goes on in their forums and chats. Already a company sold off their weapons division in fear of a lawsuit. Can any one comment based on aspergers experience? * What happens when one is exposed to an abnormal environment for a few years? (150% exposure to violent games, Exposed to weapons, 0% Social Contact) * Does this prolong exposure have an impact on ethics and morals? * Can an aspe choose a more healthy routine rather than an unhealthy one? or do they just focus on what interest them the most even if its unhealthy. * Would exposure to a more wholesome environment help bring about a more ethical and moral aspe person? (10% violent games, 90% Social Contact) * How do you rate your environment? Do you consider your environment Normal or abnormal? ( ___% violent games, __% Social Contact, Weapons: ____, etc etc)
  16. he's got other sales running all through the year ... fiscal cliff ... tsunami ... rogue waves the balls do float in water ... lol great for the next gerbil marathon
  17. List the movies you pick for a marathon here is a list from an article
  18. do they come with a certificate of authenticity from the gerbil association? was the farmer expectting to make 6x200,000 ... paid in gold ??? perhaps its cheaper to buy the USED doomsday balls that came off lease
  19. gosh ... for a period of time ... people thought Ryan Lanza died ,,,, Adam took Ryan ID ... Adam had no social media and Ryan did ... FB ... this caused a lot of trouble for him There are other Ryan Lanza in the world and people have sent messages to them too http://www.businessinsider.com/what-it-was-like-to-be-ryan-lanzas-facebook-friend-when-the-world-thought-he-was-a-killer-2012-12 http://www.inquisitr.com/438676/ryan-lanza-idd-as-newtown-school-shooting-gunman/ About the mother stock piling weapons ... that is only a portion of doomsday preppers ... they usually stock pile food and other provisions in preparation for doomsday so far police did not report finding that ... just guns n survivalist talk with a relative In the documentary ... no one ever mentions they are a member of APN ... no one mentions how they will act during an event we are only shown they will survive and defend their place and supplies 24x7
  20. here is an article from the blaze ... never heard of them nor would expect this to be reliable info It seems to show that the mother knew her son was very dangerous to himself Its showing that during a period of time from one year ago to one week before the shooting that the mother unable to deal with the situation
  21. Yeah I am glad too ... its very healthy my oldest brother has anger spots ... I've seen both he and his wife have a extreme argument ... the danger was he was in the car with the engine in gear and running ... bullying his wife ... she is arguing in front of us ... his daughter and nieces were in serious tears ... so was I ... the situation goes counter of how my brother would explain that he takes five to ten minutes alone to stop being angry my morality and ethics ... just told me .. to try to stop this situation from escalating ... I told the kids to not be scared and its not ever about them ... I turned my attention to my brother and spoke in a manner he might be more open to ... I asked him to shut the car off ... and in less than 30 seconds he did ... what I requested I have to say this is the sort of situation I would really hate to see get ugly
  22. first off ... I never said aspergers was a personality disorder ... two ... u not read the article .. its saying that he could have a personality disorder in addition to aspergers ... there is suspicion that he has a mild case of aspergers and he wasn't on meds Your theory for doomsday ... spot on ... very impressed ... demonise ... nope ... I don't care if he is the devil or god ... or trying to be a savior of doomsday I have no romance to this notion the big hole to theories ... he didn't leave a note explaining how he felt ... it bears more investigation if he told anyone that is his confidence but he's a loner ... mysteries take time to unravel ... well in 48hrs ... doomsday comes ... or another period of man's evolution for another 56,000 yrs it would be interesting if there was evidence of him reading up on 2012 mythology ... I like your theory very much ... I could imagine other ppl n cultures doing crazy things in the next 72 hrs update found that article calling the mother a doomsday prepper ... I have seen documentaries on this ... and I rather say that during the next 48 to 72 hrs ... those preppers are on heighten security ... I would not advise going near them ... they are prepared to protect their place ... they are looking for signs that doomsday has indeed taken place based on that other article about losing her son ... perhaps her doomsday hobby ... really affected her son ... perhaps she is the trigger ... she caused him to seek out his own solution to doomsday ... I think you've hit upon the perfect storm scenerio ... he used the information he had available to formulated his own solution that same article mentioned that Lanza was loner and played violent video games ... its not playing ... perhaps he sees it differently ... like if it was his training for when doomsday comes ... and then he acted upon his own plans
  23. the thing is u have agreement of premediated but you're stuck on aspergers ... what if he had a severe personality disorder The mix bipolar has nothing to do with Lanza ... just proof that a person can have more than one disorder The other article Diagnosing Lanza is more pertinent ... the police are trying to get a hold on the medical records ... they found that Lanza wasn't on any meds they state that they don't think Lanza was diagnosed properly ... or some thing like that ... they need more proof for their investigation
  24. More evidence - He cover up his tracks by destroying evidence on his hard drive on one of his computers This is a second clue of premeditation ... investigators found odd ... I wonder how many more clues to make them believe a new theory or the typical theory. But he could have had a tantrum and it could be a coincidence. Lanza was not on Meds according to investigators The schools recognize that Lanza is diagnosed with a disorder is it easy to defraud the schools n gov't? Could it be that the parents didn't want him to be diagnosed with a more violent disorder? There is not enough history to know when he was diagnosed with something?
