"Everyday consumers are doing cloud computing, too, maybe without even realizing it.

The idea of reducing the world's population to a community of only 100 people is very useful and important. It makes us easily understand the differences in the world. There are many types of reports that use the Earth's population reduced to 100 people, especially in the Internet. Ideas like this should be more often shared, especially nowadays when the world seems to be in need of dialogue and understanding among different cultures, in a way that it has never been before. The text that originated this webmovie was published on May 29, 1990 with the title "State of the Village Report", and it was written by Donella Meadows, who passed away in February 2000. Nowadays Sustainability Institute, through Donella's Foundation, carries on her ideas and projects. Donella Meadows' original "State of the Village Report" may be found at: www.sustainer.org/dhm_archive/index.php?display_article=vn338villageed The text used here has been modified. The statistics have been updated based on specialized publications and mainly reports on the World's population provided by The UN, PRB and others.

# Can a real person actually follow 700 people? The Nest Unclutterer protects your privacy from marketers and businesses by blocking followers who are already following too many people. # It removes followers who have been inactive for a given period of time. # It helps create a whitelist of users exempt from any rule-based actions. # The Nest Unclutterer will help you render those little nuisance birds as extinct as the dodo. # The Nest Unclutterer allows you to review a list of accounts that meet your user-specified criteria before any blocking or unfollowing occurs. At that point you may add additional accounts to the whitelist before any actions are performed. via Tim Childers

Create a legitimate gmail account at http://mail.google.com/. (e.g. username@gmail.com). Then, you can use that base account to "trick" web applications that require e-mail address to create user accounts. The way it works is that you add a + and a student name/alias after the gmail user name (e.g. username+sara@gmail.com, username+tom@gmail.com, username+chris@gmail.com, etc.)
