Why do you need real friends, if you have a bunch of colleagues in the net?
I don't share the title of that pic. I don't believe in the US concept of "Loser", but it's kinda sad to find nice people together, silent, looking at their screens. That quest for interestingness and entertainment in their laptops is surprising, because maybe the guy or the girl to the left is someone worthy to meet.
By the way, have you realized about the high proportion of Mac users that this country has? Mac laptops are basically overpriced, cute, status-enhancing computers. You can find better deals on the PC world for sure. But that's America, guys. Why do people here buy SUVs and other gas-inefficient überhuge cars? Because they are overpriced, cute* AND status-enhancing stuff.

Ting-a-ling! I opened the door of the old, fatty deli. The Polish old man looked at me, as every week.- "A cheese steak, please"
- "Sub or roll?"
- "Sub, sub, yeah."
- "Now it costs 6$. Are you sure?"
I nodded. I'm the laziest guy when it comes to be what economists call a rational economic agent. I can't tell if I really care when it comes to a dollar more or less (as long as I have it). The guy looked at me smiling and he started to make the philly steak. I just yawned.
The CNN was howling just to my left. I start watching the news. Supposedly, someone had killed someone somewhere in the States, and they were going to cover that information during the next 15 minutes. I was hypnotized... I couldn't separate my eyes from those CSI images. And my mouth started to open slooowly.
Then, again, ting-a-ling! and someone entered in the shop. He looked at me, he looked at the TV, sentencing: "Welcome to the United States, my friend".
I just had arrived from Spain 18 hours before (Christmas).
