Would You Read A Book In Digital Format?

Deborah L. Alten @gtargirl (5376) • United States 10 Mar 08

I guess I'm just a simple old fashion girl. The E-format of my favorite book is something a little hard to grasp still. I really need to get cozy, sit in front of the fireplace with a cup of hot chocolate and a good book. Turning...

Porteno Whether we like it or not, I'm afraid e-books will eventually take over from 'real' books. I personally don't mind. I still preferr the real deal as well, but when I look at the progress being made in e-book readers and how easy it will be to travel with...

Would you stay in a job that's fulfilling but not financially rewarding?

dolce_vita78 @dolce_vita78 (8062) • Philippines 9 Mar 08

Is it mo' money or no money? If I could choose and have BOTH, why not? But not everyone is lucky enough to get the best of both worlds. Most people get stuck at a career crossroads, not knowing which path to take: the yellow...

Porteno No-brainer for me, as I had to make that chocie 10 years ago. I was working as a programmer and making real good money. Then I decided to go traveling. Since then, I work in a beachclub in the Summertime, and travel 5 months ever yyear. I will die poor, but...

Are you planning to buy ps3 or continue playing ps2

rft666 @rft666 (9) • Bangladesh 26 Feb 08

I will continue playing ps2 for another 2 years. And the reasons are very simple- 1. I still haven't tried many ps2 classics/hits 2. ps3 is very expensive for me right now What about you? Are you planning to buy ps3 or...

Porteno I went on to PS3, for a few reasons. No matter how good games are that still will appear on PS2 (God Of War 2, the next GTA), the sheer possibilities of PS3 will make them all look a bit old. Besides that, it's got a build-in Blu-Ray player whihc definitely...

Guitar Hero 3

Porteno @Porteno (99) • Belgium 10 Mar 08

The whole world seems to be playing it, and rightfully so. It looks weird at first to be standing in front of your tv with a fake guitar, but once you've tried it, you're addicted for life!!! Especially since you can download...

Porteno I'm sure that in the near future, it will be possible to order any song you like and you will be able to download it as an add-on. I do agree that not all songs on GH 3 are of the same quality. The game still rocks though :-)

Family Guy

Porteno I love the show. It basically continues where the Simpsons stop. And just like the SImpsons, the show works on different levels. It looks like a cartoon, but the jokes (and some of the graphics, I guess) are meant for adults. That's what makes it successful....

Are prime time series getting too violent?

Porteno @Porteno (99) • Belgium 10 Mar 08

Bloody sitcoms and series have always existed, but it seems like you can't make any 'normal'ones anymore. It's all blood and gore and other weird stuff that makes us watch tv. From Supernatural to Heroes to all the more realistic...

In which way do current events influence your travels?

Porteno @Porteno (99) • Belgium 28 Feb 08

Ever since I started traveling, people are worried that something is going to happen because the news reports about horrible kidnappings, floodings, hurricanes or whatever in the area I'm going to. Now I'm not totally insane and...

Do you write on Helium ?

Porteno I like Helium, but am more an Associated Content fan myself. Both sites are a great way to make some extra cash, if you find a way to use your network as they pay per page view. If any readers have interesting tips on how to get more views, that would be...

Wenger's reaction after Taylor's tackle: justified?

Porteno @Porteno (99) • Belgium 25 Feb 08

Ok, can somebody please, PLEASE tell coaches and Wenger in particular to stop whining and being completely ridiculous? His reaction is what makes players do stupid things on the field. Yes, the tackle was late. Yes, it was a red...

Porteno For those who desperately want to see it, there's extensive footage on YouTube. I wasn't sure whether I wanted to post this, as I think it was really bad luck what happened. It was a really bad tackle, but the players' and coach' reaction were completely...

Do you think that some people choose best responses by who's is longest?

Freelancepreneur @LouieWpHs04 (4555) • United States 25 Feb 08

Do you feel/think that some people choose best responses solely on the factor that there response was longer then someone elses? or well, what're your thoughts on this? and how do you choose your best response?

Porteno I must admit I do not always choose a best response, simply because sometimes I don't find anyone particularly interesting. When I do choose one, it's always based on content, and on nothing else. Otherwise, what's the use?
