EFnet ftw ;) - Jay Neff

exploring the darkside of twitter on NPR http://www.npr.org/templat... - Carl Golden

I've got to remember to use this service more often. - Shane Tilton from BuddyFeed

Blippy certainly is pushing the boundaries. - Caleb Elston

I think he has something to, like you said Leo adding Netflix, Amazon, etc Affiliate links in for instant monetization - Jay Neff

Can I get a scale that lies about my weight then twitters? - Ghworg

It's all opt in, you decide what you want to share, it isn't as big of a deal as I first thought with concerns of privacy really - Jay Neff

Really want a FitBit - Caleb Elston

I think I need to take a screen cap of this. No Johnny W liking a TWiT post. Hmmm he must be busy today. lol - Bill Heslin

Wow. IRC is so crazy. I think the story of the decade is surely mobile and email. The iPhone's popularity is huge for this. Google too. - Elliot Christenson

Leo busy FF room today. Hey everyone! - Bill Heslin

Hey Bill! - Caleb Elston

Hi Caleb - Bill Heslin

Scoble are you going to talk about TSA restrictions on electronics on plane? - Peter Trussell

Maybe - Robert Scoble

Really excited by Square, could really shake up the payments space. PayPal for the real world. - Caleb Elston

and PayPal sucks lol - Jay Neff

here we go. iSlate lol - Caleb Elston

boy if Apple doesn't deliver they are in trouble - Kim Landwehr

Tablets haven't worked that well in the market, so it makes sense that they'd call it a slate instead of a tablet. - Jeff Harbert

@Kim, yeah- I actually just sold the rest of my AAPL stock. - Caleb Elston

All time high, taking profits. Will buy back in a month or so - Caleb Elston

@Caleb, wish I had AAPL stock to buy and sale (: - Kim Landwehr

@Kim not really much stock just about 25 shares - Caleb Elston

The tea leaves for iSlate is the brand new iTunesLP creation tools. All HTML, CSS, Javascript - Caleb Elston

So where do you guys discover the majority of your technews? (besides TWIT :) - Caleb Elston

Caleb - Lifehacker, MakeUseOf, MaximumPC, Twitter. - Jeff Harbert

@Caleb - Digg, The Register, Twitter... - Andrew

@Jeff cool, so no aggregators really? - Caleb Elston

@Andrew Do you do much filtering on Digg? Just the tech areas for instance? - Caleb Elston

Yeah the Tech page is set as my starting point. - Andrew

@Caleb, No, I don't like aggregators. Even for blogs, things like Google Reader and Bloglines annoy me. - Jeff Harbert

@Caleb - One exception to that is Popurls. That one's handy. - Jeff Harbert

@Jeff Interesting. Is there something in particular about them you dislike? - Caleb Elston

Yeah I barely look at Google Reader any more, it's just like a huge inbox you have to crawl through now. - Andrew

@Caleb - Readers don't give me blog comments, for one. I also find that the look and feel of a website will help me remember where I first read something. Blog themes are also usually stripped out and made homogenous by readers. Don't care for that. - Jeff Harbert

can someone post the links to the #twitdecade videos leo plays - Andrew Euell

this guy is annoying - Mark

news producer guy - Mark

I've gotten nearly all my breaking news this year from Twitter. - Jeff Harbert

I learned about Twitter on TWiT. TechTV and it's spawn are one important story of the decade. - Jason R

Twitter definitely provides most of the news/links that I click on. I prefer the layout/design of Original Signal to Popurls, just a shame it seems to have been abandoned. Only annoyance is no way to turn off the popups when you hover on a link. - Andrew

"we have some deep integrations coming with a bunch of different players and big announcements coming up" --Kevin Rose on TWiT - Andrew Euell

anyone know if traffic on digg.com is still growing? - Mark

I think the fire alarm is starting to beep more frequently... - Andrew

Story of the decade is REALLY TWIT. I agree with Jason Robertshaw. I learned of Twitter on TWIT. - Elliot Christenson

those glasses dont suit her - Mark

I agree with her comment. (Now I just need a piece of inexpensive hardware to switch between USB webcams.) - Jeff Harbert

I like my Zi8, but the EIS could be better. - Jeff Harbert

haha! 640x480 - Andrew Euell

I had a cheap HP camera back in the day. Utter crap. - Jeff Harbert

Heh, my mom had the Sony Mavica! :) - Ken Wiesner

My last employer had a floppy-drive Mavica. - Jeff Harbert

we had a mavica for a trip to vegas with the family. BACKUPS could be a story of the decade. Digital is now practical because of BACKUPS. - Elliot Christenson

I know Carbonite is a sponsor but I gotta say their product for Mac really sucks. It doesn't backup video automatically! You have to manually select video files to backup. I switched to Backblaze. We should try to get them as a TWiT Sponsor! - Ken Wiesner

Am I the only one that thinks location services like Foursquare are dumb? - Jeff Harbert

@Jeff hate to disagree, but I think location is actually a core element to be shared. Just like Photos, Video, Text...location is next. - Caleb Elston

@Caleb - but it's so transitory. So I check in at a bar - I won't be there an hour later. - Jeff Harbert

People recommend you for the "Crunk" badge. :) - Ken Wiesner

@Jeff that's true, but tweets are similarly ephemeral, but we now have much better realtime alerting systems so you can actually know about that right away. - Caleb Elston

@Caleb - And it also does me no good to know where anyone non-local to me is. Scoble is having dinner at the Ritz - I'm across the country, so what use is that to me? - Jeff Harbert

@Jeff, bingo - and if you're in a small town, who cares that you just popped down to the gas station in your pyjamas? - Andrew

@Jeff that might be true for Robert, since you don't really know him, but if it were your son or brother it might be interesting, a conversation starter for the next time you speak. - Caleb Elston

@Andrew - Exactly, which is why I think these services are dumb. - Jeff Harbert

@Caleb - I'm actually acquainted with Robert. It still does me no good to know he's having dinner at the Ritz because he's nowhere near me. - Jeff Harbert

@Jeff Touche haha - Caleb Elston

Love Amazon Prime. - Jeff Harbert

I love how the book store guy is kicking everyone's ass in the cloud space. :) - Ken Wiesner

Bezos is a force of nature in business. - Jeff Harbert

NASA should limit its spending to human exploration related activities. - Jeff Harbert

Leo is dropping comments about his wealth alot lately - Mark

@Mark I think Leo is very pleased and confident about the success of TWiT. - Jeff Harbert

best ad transition to date - Andrew Euell

Pet peeve - that's navigation, not GPS. - Jeff Harbert

A TWiT conversation is going to hit best of day. It's been awhile. Love it... - Bill Heslin

Automatic parallel parking is a joke. If you can't drive, don't drive. - Jeff Harbert

I love that electric vehicle thing! That would be so cool! And I cannot wait to become popular P: - Zachary TG

Fully automated cars would be cool though. Real life savers, since most people don't know how to drive safely. - Jeff Harbert

Robert's is right Microsoft is just not cool anymore - Kim Landwehr

I'd still like to have a full computer in my car. - Jeff Harbert

Doesn't the decade begin in January 1st, 2011? - Héctor

Dave Winer and RSS , Scoble names his child after RSS ...I may have to unblock you Robert...lol - Bill Heslin

@Héctor - Leo mentioned that in yesterday's TWiG. He said he'd rather get a little email from correct listeners like you than wait a year and get 10x more from people who think it begins 1-1-10. - Jeff Harbert

Correct. I remember arguing about it 10 years ago, but this time around I don't feel like nitpicking for that same exact reason. Sounds like a good plan. - Héctor

I don't like the iPhone. I need a real keyboard. - Jeff Harbert

Thinking of getting a Droid to replace my Blackberry in Sept when my current cell contract is up for renewal. - Jeff Harbert

Yeah I'm going to drop my BlackBerry Storm - was such a disappointment. - Andrew

Night all - Caleb Elston

Electric vehicles will fit 95% of everyone's vehicle needs. Yes, you will need a second vehicle. - Jeff Harbert

Sorry, it's the public holiday here in Oz for Boxing Day... I just woke up and I'm now going for a swim... - Johnny Worthington from iPhone

Later Caleb! - Jeff Harbert

Hey Johnny...Was wondering where you were...Enjoy your day! - Bill Heslin

Please stop thinking that electric cars will 100% replace normal cars. - Jeff Harbert

And btw, good old lead-acid batteries are just fine for electric cars. We don't need a battery breakthrough. - Jeff Harbert

Thank goodness for holidays - this is the first time I've been able to watch TWiT live, as it's after midday Monday in NZ. Although luckily TWiG falls on Sunday here. :) - Andrew

audible = DRM = FAIl - Mark

hey you know how audible uses DRM, how does that work on a CD since a CD doesn't support digital copy protection does it? - Mark

(you can burn audible to cd) - Mark

If you think about it most people spend most of their time driving to and from work and around town, a perfect use for electric vehicles - Kim Landwehr

"earthy crunchy" --Leo Laporte on Kevin Rose - Andrew Euell

@Kim - Exactly. We don't need 350 mile range. 80 is more than enough for most people. - Jeff Harbert

you DO WANT Rackspace as a sponsor, trust me - Mark

(they are very generous) - Mark

Esp when Rackspace goes down and takes half the internet with it. Three times now? Or is it only twice? - Jeff Harbert

meh every host goes down - Mark

99.99% uptime - Mark

@Mark - kills the "cloud" argument though. How can a cloud go down? - Jeff Harbert

well if someone unplugs the power for computers in the cloud i guess - Mark

What kind of plasma? - Jason R

If that's the case, Rackspace needs to restrict access to their power cords. ;) - Jeff Harbert

gotta agree on the HD - Kim Landwehr

there are a whole bunch of weather/technology metaphors yet to be exploited with this whole "cloud" thing - Andrew Euell

HD really has made web video in particular much more enjoyable. - Jeff Harbert

giant women have never been so attractive - Andrew Euell

has a DVD screener leaked yet hehe - Mark

Blogs aren't history, they've become enhancements & supplements to videos and tweets. - Jeff Harbert

I like that comment by Leo - why pigeonhole it? It's all content. - Jeff Harbert

Yay. Dr. Kiki rocks - Bill Heslin

"tough ass particle" --Leo Laporte on the Higgs Boson - Andrew Euell

great - I could understand all of the previous video vignette's except the bio-tech one ;) - bear (aka Mike Taylor)

....and an overpolluted planet with 15 billion people. Something to look forward to. - Jeff Harbert

aging a disease? Cure that, that would b awesome - Bill Heslin

what about a cure for sleep, free of side effects of course - Andrew Euell

@Andrew - or just make sleep more effective. I'd love to get by on 3-4 hours per night. - Jeff Harbert

Biggest story of the decade - social media. It changed the societal consciousness. - echostreamer

it's not Facebook per se, but rather the ability of any company to connect that many people on the internet: Orkut, Twitter, Google Groups, etc - bear (aka Mike Taylor)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki... - Zachary TG

Fun show, guys. - Jeff Harbert

Great show, long live TWiT! - Andrew

digitel yamah keyboeerds and roland key boerds have realy advanced in sound and what u can do with them - daveccorey

Why is the Tricaster such a POS??? - Ken Wiesner

Leo thank you for another great year....Peace to you and your family...Have a GREAT New Year. We'll B Here!!!! - Bill Heslin

I noticed on the TWiT youtube channel, Windows Weekly is watched 5-6 times more than the other shows - Mark

As it should b Mark. it's a great show... :) - Bill Heslin

Windows Weekly is 12500+ per show. TWiT the flagship is 2 or 3000 - Mark

At last, some decent media to watch. Thanks to the time difference to the UK, Twit has taken over my evenings tv schedule and im looking forward to the day when i can get the twit network direct to my tv. No more Eastenders for me. :P - Dansus

On the Blackberry, that Bing thing is not strictly true. I have Google.com set as my home page and I search from there. I'm not redirected to Bing. - Jeff Harbert

Love the live feeds. Look forward to seeing video podcasts of your shows. - Michael Kelly

Wow Dansus - high praise. Thanks! - Leo Laporte

My Blackberry won't do Friendsfeed. It sucks. I had to borrow this laptop because I cant watch twit.tv and I cant findany irc app for my BlackBerry Storm. I am just screwed with my BlackBerry when it comes to Twit.Tv. Dang it. I miss Twit.Tv when I am on the road. - Willy Monroe

Yep, wish I'd never bought a BlackBerry - you're so limited in what you can do and access. The App World finally launched in NZ (free apps only) and it's very sparse. Ditching it as soon as I can, probably for an iPhone as we don't have any decent Android devices here yet. :( - Andrew

this Google show is getting boring and repetitive - Fnord

You joined Friendfeed just to tell me this? Ha! - Leo Laporte

Hello from Pasadena, CA, is Andy in town? - George Mag

I won my Fantasy Football League and I am considering buying a Motorola Droid today. I have an iPhone 3GS but I think the Verizon network is faster than AT&T on 3G. - George Mag

will it be a good thing or a bad thing that apple wont be at macworld? - Aaron

Macworld was always a fringe event, Apple is mainstream now and CES is a a mainstream event. - George Mag

Funny how they throw out the Red Carpet for TWiT now we are the biggest name at the conference ;) - Mark

I don't think MacWorld ever had a live feed except for Apple's Keynote, they made too exclusive. - George Mag

yeah but 99.9% of apps will not make the big money - Mark

why is this news that a small number of the millions of developers are making big money? its the same for all markets - Mark

The Killer App for Android has yet to reveal itself. - George Mag

Tap Tap Revenge also has in-game downloadable content that you pay for. I should know. :( - Seth

some PC indie developers make millions, some make pennies - Mark

What true for stocks is true for Apps, Pennies add up, its total transactions that count. - George Mag

yes but its running at 320x240 resolution - Mark

so 500mhz is plenty - Mark

I'm ready for the "death" of traditional TV. If a show isn't interactive in some way (ala TWiT) or topical (news, sports), there's no reason to stream it "live". All the standard dramas and sitcoms will go on-demand, per show, with "release dates". - Ken Sheppardson

And it looks like I totally missed the point. Again :-) - Parody

I'm not talking about some alternative to video, I'm just talking about the way the video is delivered. - Ken Sheppardson

Maybe every 15 minutes you could just say "For those of you who tuned in for the [15|30|60|...] minute version of MBW, thank you for joining us and see you next week"... then just keep going. - Ken Sheppardson

What to Choose: IMAX 3D versus RealD versus Dolby 3D for 3D Movies? - 3D Vision Blog -- http://3dvision-blog.com/what-to... - Ken Sheppardson

lol johnny.... you're "one of us... one of us... one of us" - Chris Heath

George Mag, have you used the TurnByTurn navigation on android 2.0? voice activated (like ford sync) with street view pictures (with hi-lighted arrows on the road where you need to turn) ... it's pretty killer... the phone itself costs as much as a tom-tom or garmin and you get way way more than those devices offer (for only a small monthly service charge) - Chris Heath

It takes about 2 minutes. You still retain a 'basic' connection but anything with a lot of data doesn't work. From what I know, the filter/splitter splits the phone line into voice and DSL. If the voice interferes to much, the DSL line part gets noise - Johnny Worthington

Missed the live broadcast today so I have to wait until Leo releases the podcast, but is this going to be another Google love fest? Don't get me wrong, I love TWIG, but TWIG is wearing thin with me.

For example, Paul Thourott loves Microsoft but at least he's honest about MS's shortcomings and isn't afraid of saying so. - Brian Denicola

If Google can develop such great technologies like face recognition, why can't they make use of their basic products more user friendly. I created a mailing list of about 60 names to send out an announcement. I kept getting a message that one or more of them were "malformed". Isn't Google smart enough to tell me which one? No. I spent almost an hour finding one address that had an extra space hidden in it. That is the most recent example. - (unknown)

It's not hard to see already how Android and iPhone will become the analog to Windows vs. Mac OS X. Android is all about choice, but will be significantly splintered due to overwhelming hardware choice and variations in OS version and customization. - Jim Metzendorf

I thought TWIF was a shoe in though, NSFW will be up for 1 next year, great new show that really connects with the gamer community and culture.Good idea to not do a show of game reviews, but instead to simply put up a camera and let gamers do what the do. Great call, great show. Twit cleans up at the Podcasts! - echostreamer

Tip of the week: Buy an Xbox 360 this holiday season, get some free games ... or answer the call of duty The Xbox 360 Elite ($299) comes with LEGO Batman and PURE.

I really don't understand what do people asking "should Google own the scans?" mean -- they want Google's data to be nationalized, or do they advocate preventing Google from acquiring the data in the first place? It's the same with people who are bitching that Google's book scans are too low quality. Google probably calculated the cost and profit of the whole exercise and are doing it in such way as to make the project possible at all. If you think the world needs better quality scans, go ahead and do it. - Michal Tatarynowicz

Jim, the deal was with MediaFly, and they have a deal with Roku. Making the deal with MediaFly is good for TWiT since MediaFly then goes and makes the deals with roku, and makes the apps for the blackberry, android, etc, and makes deals with xbox and ps3 etc... and leo only needs to deal with the mediafly people... anyways, just and fyi - Chris Heath

Balance isn't always what's needed, IMHO you get farther sometimes by pushing in one direction and not being pulled in the opposite - TWiG is more technical and doesn't really seek to opine on the news (like TWiT) but explain it - Chris Heath

Right. If that's a feature you care about, to the extent that it influences your decision, you want an iPhone and AT&T - Ken Sheppardson

But if you can't get data service coverage .. that feature doesn't exist in your world anyway - Peter Costello

I think it might be a matter of whether there's an actual connetion established, i.e. streaming video vs HTTP. In between HTTP requests, your phone would certainly ring - Ken Sheppardson

Just checked. While streaming a YouTube video on my Pre, it'll ring. It suspends playback, and I see the call window pop up on half the screen. It even tries to roll over the connection to WiFi and keep streaming, but the playback pauses when the phon rings. - Ken Sheppardson

Okay this is a little late but... for a 50" Samsung PN50B650 plasma, the power-on wattage is 252 Watts and the stand-by wattage is 0.18 Watts. So assuming 4 hour of viewing per day, ((4 x 252) + (20 x 0.18))/1000 = 1.01 Kwh per day, or 369 Kwh per year. So at 12 cents per Kwh, the cost to run the plasma for a year is only $44! If LCD saves you 30% then you're saving about $13 per year by buying an LCD. :P - Ken Morley
