    Yesterday, while I was at work, my cousin stole my iphone and tested to see if
    it can survive a twenty five foot drop, just so she can be a youtube sensation.

    My apple ipad is now destroyed and she has 83 views.
    I know this is completely off topic but I had to share it with someone!

    You actually make it appear so easy together with your presentation but I
    find this topic to be actually one thing that I think I'd never understand. It sort of feels too complicated and very large for me. I'm looking ahead for your next put up,
    I'll attempt to get the grasp of it!

    I leave a response each time I especially enjoy a article on a
    website or I have something to contribute to the discussion.
    Usually it is triggered by the passion communicated in
    the article I browsed. And on this post "2013 Forbes' List of The World's Richest Billionaires: Top 500".
    I was moved enough to leave a comment :-P I actually do have a few questions for you if you usually do not mind.
    Could it be only me or does it appear like some of the responses come across
    like written by brain dead folks? :-P And, if you are writing at other online sites, I'd like to keep up with you. Would you list all of your community sites like your linkedin profile, Facebook page or twitter feed?
