Live now: This Week (Year/Decade) In Tech 228 with Kevin Rose and Robert Scoble - our year and decade ender. http://live.twit.tv Dicusss here...
tiny-twit.jpg
I beat Johnny. - Judy Jones
Tease: - Leo Laporte
@scobelizer the IRC is where it's at! - Andrew Euell
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)
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

Live now: This Week In Google 22 with Jeff Jarvis and Gina Trapani. http://live.twit.tv. Discuss here...
tiny-twig.jpg
Tease: The year in google, the meaning of open, and whither Microsoft. literally. - Leo Laporte
Stories: Apple Expanding iWork In The Cloud? http://j.mp/5xZI78 - Squealing Rat
Stories: What Google Will Buy http://www.loomingtech.com/what-go... - Squealing Rat
We sat around the laptop with my nephews and daughter and watched him take off on NORAD - Johnny Worthington
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
LOL TWiG gets better each and every week. - Roberto Bonini
great show 2 day leo from a chilly day in ga - daveccorey
can we send a MONEY ORDER - daveccorey
Leo Laporte
Live now: Maxwell's House 53 with Ray Maxwell: Music Tech http://live.twit.tv. Discuss here...
Tease: It's Christmas eve ans Ray "Santa" Maxwell talks about iphone apps for the iphone, the musical scale, and rings his chimes. - Leo Laporte
good show wile im thinking about it A NEW GAME APP 4 NEXT WEAKS SHOW drop seaven check it and chat about it if u like it - daveccorey
Leo Laporte
Live now: MacBreak Weekly 172 with MacWorld Expo's Paul Kent, Andy Ihnatko and Alex Lindsay. http://live.twit.tv Discuss here....
tiny-mbw.jpg
Tease: Steve Jobs loses one and wins one, Apple enters the TV biz, and a Macworld Expo preview... - 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
Ken, the only reason I don't like th Audible ads is since I joined, Andy has cost me a lot of money... Plus I am shopping for a new car in March... I have been looking at a Ford... GAH, GET OUT OF MY HEAD - Johnny Worthington
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
good show do u think we NEAD A APP SHOW - daveccorey
Did Leo find somebody to take his Mustang to CES? If not, I nominate Paul. - Hawklu
Leo Laporte
Live now: net@night 132 with Amber MacArthur and guest Dennis Crowley of Foursquare.com. http://live.twit.tv. Discuss here...
tiny-natn.jpg
Tease: YouTube mashups, one of the cleverest web startups of the year, and we Wave goodbye to 2009. - Leo Laporte
YouTube Doubler Beta - MashUp Helper http://www.youtubedoubler.com/ - Leo Laporte
YouTube gets its own short URLs http://www.techcrunch.com/2009... In a blog post announcing the new feature, YouTube writes that the short URL will be used exclusively for YouTube videos (which means it isn’t as useful to spammers for misdirection). The post also notes that because all youtu.be shortlinks include the YouTube video ID, developers can use that... more... - Leo Laporte
Twitter made a profit in 2009 http://www.readwriteweb.com/archive... - Leo Laporte
Man proposes on Foursquare http://mashable.com/2009... - Leo Laporte
GUEST - Dennis Crowley, Co-founder, Foursquare - Leo Laporte
Video of the Week A year in Review with Google Wave 2009 http://mashable.com/2009... From the same folks at Whirled Interactivewho brought us the excellently funny “Pulp Wave Fiction” comes another intelligent use of Google Wave as a video production medium — this time it’s used to encapsulate the year in news and social media. In “Waving Goodbye to 2009,” embedded... more... - Leo Laporte
Just found out we got Foursquare here in Brisbane last month (along with the other capital cities in Oz)... - Johnny Worthington from iPhone
Foursquare is sort of here in Seoul as well but has a few wrinkles that need to be ironed out - Mel Buckpitt
I have question. when will foursquare be coming to blackberry? - alex chan
Whats the link for the video with Leo explaining Ford Sync - HiP_P
I use it and Gowalla to find local resturants - Johnny Worthington from iPhone
I giggle at the fact it took Amber so long to hunt down the people who created a service all about telling people where you are :) - Johnny Worthington from iPhone
hey good show - daveccorey
I THINK face book tweeter and yutube were the big geek storys of the last 10 years and freind feed - daveccorey
Seasons Greetings Leo to you and your family and staff. Thanks for making my work day a blast - Johnny Worthington from iPhone
Leo Laporte
Live now: FLOSS Weekly 102 with Randal Schwartz: Jython with Frank Wierzbicki. http://live.twit.tv. Discuss here...
tiny-floss.jpg
The only coding language I know is Turbo PASCAL - Johnny Worthington
If he is on DSL, he may need to check his splitter. When my phone rings, my connection drops. Wait 2 minutes :) - Johnny Worthington
This show is so good, my brain hurts. The fact that some things go waaaaaaaaaay over my head is what I like most. - echostreamer
Jim Hugunin created Jython in late 1997 - Johnny Worthington
good show hapyh ollidays from georgia - daveccorey
SEE! It's the phone. He needs to check his splitter - Johnny Worthington
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
It happens to me all the time - Johnny Worthington
Ebenezer Laporte, will you give your employees another lump of coal as the edit this on Christmas Eve? :P - Johnny Worthington
TWiTapalooza... - Johnny Worthington
It's a hard thing to fight, not only can't you speak out against the kids accessing porn but the second you introduce the 'Government is evil/Big Brother' argument, you tend to get cast aside as a 'Paranoid X-File Basement Dweller'. I have been called that before :) - Johnny Worthington
101 was pfSense - Johnny Worthington
Leo Laporte
Great rebuttal to Jane Hamsher's 10 reasons to kill the health care bill, @01bitbybit01. Thanks for the link! http://voices.washingtonpost.com/ezra-kl... #hcr

tiny-twig.jpg
What about video podcasts on iTunes, Leo?? - Roberto Bonini
"new journalist"? - Gideon Guillen
I guess this counts as cloud news? "Apple Acquires Streaming Music Service Lala" http://mashable.com/2009... :-) - Holger Eilhard
I don't often bring sledgehammers to computer repairs ;) - Roberto Bonini
What about the feedly extension?? - Roberto Bonini
How about privacy issues of using Google's DNS servers? - Gideon Guillen
It's good right now that Google doesn't redirect you to Google search if you enter a wrong or mistype a domain. It breaks some protocols, like anti-spam measures. - Gideon Guillen
John Houseman died in 1988. - Bob Watts
I got 10 out of 10 in cnbc google iq test - Siouxmoux Riopel
Is it terrible to have a lot of the useless dribble of the Murdoch empire hidden from us? Loved the Palpatine analogy. - Bob Watts
Question for Gina: Where did she get that microphone?? - Roberto Bonini
top show people - Chris Aslanis
Colleen sent it to her Roberto... it's a countryman - Chris Heath
good show from a vert cold night in ga - daveccorey
I WAMA LEZBEAN SHOW - daveccorey
Ah. Interesting. Could hardly see it. One seriously cool mic. - Roberto Bonini
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. Leo does a much better job with Windows Weekly and Mac Break Weekly. More balanced. 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
Brian, they scolded google for closing etherpad abruptly (maybe it was the etherpad people that did that, but still) - however i just heard that etherpad was restored and is to be opensourced so good on google then after stumbling horribly http://friendfeed.com/jeffjar... - Chris Heath
Chris - Thanks for the update! - 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)
Boo Freakin' Hoo - Chris Heath

Is that really that hard? AT&T crashes more than Tiger - Johnny Worthington
Vote for TIME’s Person of the Year http://today.msnbc.msn.com/id... Steve Jobs is currently winning with 46%. ooooh. :] - sunkenplanet
I went to a Pearl Jam concert 3 weeks ago and the 3G network crashed cause of all the concentrated data usage (lots of iPhone). They need to distribute across the load - Johnny Worthington
Is Root Wireless the "independent" company that has AT&T as a client... but not Verizon? ... no, that's Global Wireless Solutions... another one of these third party testing services. - Ken Sheppardson
Here in Oz, on Telstra Business.. Data is $10 for 150MB and $29 for 300MB (yes it's more expensive for more data) - Johnny Worthington
Quality of 3G bandwidth/service is truly a regional issue. It is fantastic here in Columbus, OH. It is frustrating how relatively little 3G coverage there is on major highways, though. It seems concentrated to urban areas, obviously. - Jim Metzendorf
Phones don't kill network bandwidth, people kill network bandwidth - Ken Sheppardson
tehehehe - sunkenplanet
I'm happy with my cheap Sprint phone + iPod Touch. :] - sunkenplanet
Now that Google is selling the Nexus direct... will Apple sell the next version the same way? - Johnny Worthington
The biggest problem with that model (Google selling direct) is what happens if it breaks. The Genius Bar is a big thing - Johnny Worthington
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
Can Verizon handle all the data though? - Johnny Worthington
For Android to succeed as a competitor to the overall iPhone user experience, Google does need to assert reference hardware and software designs. - Jim Metzendorf
ivideocamera now video app for any old iphone http://bit.ly/7WRCMH - radioonefan24
I second that... although... He is already President of the Internet - Johnny Worthington
Why not Ballmer... he gave out napkins... - Johnny Worthington
Knowing my luck, they'll give Person Of The Year to Twitter - Johnny Worthington
LOL. Please no.. - sunkenplanet
An Apple tablet with significant publishing content access has the potential to be as ubiquitous as the iPod itself. - Jim Metzendorf

Has anyone done an all-in-one 27 inch computer before? - Johnny Worthington
I wonder if it will boot? - Johnny Worthington
But how will I get my whoopee cushion app approved? - Johnny Worthington
I want it too - Johnny Worthington

and the GIZ WIZ all so winns way 2 go guys - daveccorey
congrats - echostreamer
so happy for you leo twit won best video podcast cool heres the web site for all of the winners at http://www.podcastconnect.com/ - Andrew Villafane
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
Great to see The GizWiz got a podcastawards award! - Peter Costello
absolutely, Giz Wiz is hilarious. Not many shows can fit 1000 one liners in an hour. - echostreamer

Brand matters. - Ken Sheppardson
Did brand matter before the iPhone was launched? My sister wants an iPhone cause it's an iPhone, not cause it's Apple. - Johnny Worthington
You just heard him in the video, Leo. He doesn't have an accent. - Ken Sheppardson

"The Sync also has support for multiple phones, up to twelve per unit to be exact. If more than one phone is present at one time in the car, the Sync will attempt connection with the accounts primary phone and then will switch to another linked phone as needed." -- http://www.bluetomorrow.com/bluetoo... - Ken Sheppardson
Cool, thanks Ken - Johnny Worthington
Although I'm not sure what "as needed" means... whether that means when a new call comes in, or when the primary phone isn't present and it needs an outbound connection... - Ken Sheppardson

Question [ 1 ] - Mike in Baltimore, MD wonders about changing his SSH port daily: Every time you talk about SSH and port configuration I remember I want to ask this question: In addition to logging the SYN packet request, would changing the SSH open port number every day to a randomized port provide any additional security?

Question [ 7 ] - Jason in Rochester MN had a brainstorm... Hey Steve, I just got an idea while you were talking about port-knocking in episode 220.

Item 1: Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Let's be serious, this is the only thing happening this week Never has a game so thoroughly lived up to the hype However: There is some controversy around the single player campaign Related: Microsoft bans up to 1 million players from Xbox Live for cheating - Leo Laporte
Item 2: Windows 7 on a netbook It's fine. But it's still a netbook - Leo Laporte

Tease: Did Google responds to controversial results, what wave needs to win, and why Leo thinks it's ok for Google to own the world. - Leo Laporte
http://mediafly.com/Browse... you should be able to download from there but it looks like they've only got the audio versions right now. they will eventually get the video versions (over the next week?) so you could subscribe there... or as leo said subscribe/download from the twit.tv website when the video goes live there (which will be soon also) - Chris Heath
Super cool, how long does it take before the video is up on mediafly? Anyway that a version could be released within minutes after the live show? - Charbax
doubt it charbax, they do some post editing to cut in the intros and the cold opens etc - Chris Heath
It'd be cool also if mediafly could somehow let people stream on-demand not only in real-time but as a DVR, so people can watch it from the start if they tune in a half hour late - Charbax
yeah that would be cool... they will have the live stream at least... that leo has said is in the works - Chris Heath

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
hey colean good show grom a dreary rainy day in georgia - daveccorey
Adi, there isn't an official wave, there are waves though... search for twig with:public there are a bunch of waves available to surf on with the twig tag (and the with:public attribute) - Chris Heath
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
Michal, i'm of the opinion that this endeavor should be undertaken by the library of congress or some other organization (with companies like google helping out) ... google asserting copyright on derivative (the scan) of a public domain work is just laughable and doesn't make any sense at all - Chris Heath
Just finished listening to TWIG. IMHO: Leo please give us more objectivity. This is like a bible class - no questioning of whether God exists but just a mild debate of the literal nature of the message. Example: you gave Apple a harder time for snow leopard update than you did Chrome and all of the obvious issues it creates. No debate about the failing just mild justification for how... more... - Colin Bruce
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

and that times online story doesn't source many of it's claims (like when it will be available. they just cite experts saying that they think it will be available early next year) the data plan only voip phone by google aka the googlephone is currently not a product that google admits to working on. google is going for a very iphone like pr plan with leaks but not too many to hype the... more... - Chris Heath

But is that feature a deal killer? - Peter Costello
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
Unfortunately it's sort of moot if you can't actually use the phone 'cause of lack of coverage... - Ken Sheppardson
iPhone does phone and data at the same time on Roger's in Canada - Andrew Smith
If you're using data, I believe your calls just go to voicemail. - Ken Sheppardson
Chat room is correcting me... they say it rings and if you pick up it cuts off the call. - 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
Meanwhile, Gameloft said "the company has cut back on investment [on Android platform] mostly due to weaknesses of Android's application store." http://www.reuters.com/article... - sunkenplanet

TV's over 58 inches are exempt from the energy rule because their lobbyists went to war and that's only 3% of the marketshare. - shelter watch

In CA, smog checks are only required on vehicles older than six years old, I believe. - shelter watch

mp3 feed is down :( 11/23/09 10:39 PST - Dave Holle II
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
