CNET News: "The Second Life way of life..."

So this one comes from CNET News, specifically from Caroline McCarthy's article, "Is Foursquare's growth boxed in?" Now I've actually, tentatively, used Foursquare, although what you call a place isn't always what it might be registered as on the site.

It's definitely an interesting concept despite having very little to do with the game I remember playing as a kid. Anyway, interesting article:

"The Second Life way of life--owning a virtual home, spending real money furnishing it, socializing in a 3D fantasy world bursting with oddball characters who've reinvented themselves into whole new species with purple skin or the ability to fly--didn't prove to be what the Web wanted. And I'm not sure they all want to be earning "Douchebag" badges and stealing the mayorships of their local Chinese take-out restaurants either. If this remains the basis of Foursquare and its business model, which looks to use the same mechanics with advertisers and sponsors, its ultimate reach could be limited."

WP: "thereby preserving their way of life"

The actual context of this quote is from the tenth paragraph of the article, "Apple's iPad makes cover of Time, Newsweek" in today's Style section of the Washington Post, written by Howard Kurtz:

"Print reviewers might harbor a deep-seated wish that this tablet computer proves capable of rescuing their battered business, thereby preserving their way of life. What's more, the folks who write about technology adore fancy gizmos. Many are Mac users. They revel in the Apple-orchestrated drama of these rollouts."

MN: "when it becomes a way of life"

So on my birthday, today's quote is from 12th paragraph of Jessica Yadegaran's article, "High tech multitasking slows you down", in the Mercury News.

"Because media multitasking is becoming chronic, as Ophir says, he and his colleagues set out to explain what happens when it becomes a way of life. Turns out, you sacrifice control of your environment."
