Walk the Talk - "A Brand Needs to Have a Pulse"
- Dan Dashnaw
QUESTION: Can iPhone audio apps be played through the auxiliary input of an in-dash car stereo? Thanks!
YUP.
- Sparky, lurking
Really!? ANY audio app!?! Is there a special adapter I'll need or does it just need a straight-up headphone jack connector?
- Brad Williamson
Anything that plays through your iPhone's speakers will play through your headphone connector and out into your auxiliary input.
- Dan Dashnaw
Perfect. Thanks so much ;-)
- Brad Williamson
you can use a simple jack to jack cable, its also great like a free hand set (for a cheap)
- FullSite
Will phone calls also be broadcast throughout the vehicle's speakers?
- Brad Williamson
yes my Kenwood kdc-w312a work just fine if i select "aux", at 99.5% but sometimes audio call dont goes to veichle's speakers. overall works fine (for 45€)

It's a shame, i had hope these guys would bring some serious competition and innovation to the ReTweet side of things...but all of their stuff so far feels cheap. When i say "their stuff", I mean their site and this video.

Is there a REASON why I'm listening to Steely Dan all the time now? Came outta nowhere....
No more a reason I've been listening to INXS all week. Memories fold over upon themselves each year and season, maybe why.

Because their incredible music is completely timeless, and it's totally natural that you'd tend to revisit them from time to time? ;-)

I'm at $80+

I pay about £40 a month, which turns out to be roughly $55 to $60 in US terms... tho I get 600 free minutes and 400 free texts.
- alphaxion
$35/month with 400 anytime minutes, 1000 night/weekend minutes, and 200 texts.
- Miss Elle
I'm in the $80+ category, but that is for 2 lines with unlimited everything except talk, which we get 400 to share - more than enough since both of us text instead of call when we can.

Less than 70 for Sprint; less than 70 for T-Mobile. Oh, crap, I pay a heck of a lot!

2 iPhones on AT&T, 700 measley minutes, and we pay about $180 a month. It's almost embarassing.

How about 10€ ($14), which includes 5€ for calls, above that based on usage. On second phone pre-paid at 0.11€/min and 0.24€/MB dataplan. Incoming SMS and calls free.

I was this close to going from 1G iPhone to 3GS today, then realized it would be another $15/mo over my existing plan (for unlimited data and 200 texts), and decided to wait a bit longer...

iPhone 3GS video vs. Flip Mino HD - http://www.tuaw.com/2009...
RAPatton liked this
this seems fairly obvious. One is a dedicated camera and the other is a phone which also has a camera. Why are they even being compared?
- Bill Rawlinson
Some tech pundits have said the iPhone 3GS is drinking the Flip camera's milkshake.
- Andrew Leahey
The comparisons being made were really between the 3GS and the non-HD flip, so this is effectively useless. Of course the HD flip is going to look better.

I *really* don't like commuting up and down to London. Who actually enjoys their commute to work every day?

I really liked mine when I lived near a canal and cycled a few miles along it to get into town and into work everyday, Bliss.
- Kol Tregaskes
I like mine now because I walk 1.5 miles to work and it's some nice quiet time for me. That said, it was not so fun when it was 107 degrees F and it's also not so fun when it's pouring rain (9 months out of the year here).
- joey
So joey you've narrowed it down to about 1 week of enjoyable commute time. :) I can't say I enjoy my commute but seeing how it's only 2 stop lights down i can't complain about it either.
- SteVe "Glory Juice" C
I'd love to have a 1.5m walk to work every day. Simply avoiding any form of public transport would be wonderful. :-)
- Kol Tregaskes
Haha, pretty much, Steve. I like it anyway because it gives me the exercise and right now the rain is 'out of sight, out of mind!'
- joey
Yeah, better than sitting in a train or tube coach for hours. That's why I loved cycling to work, great exercise. :-)
- Kol Tregaskes
I live in zone 5, work in zone 1. Takes me about an hour. Mornings are not so bad, because i live so far out i can get a seat, but coming home is not so great. so in short. Nope, i dont like my commute.
- Simon Wicks
How long is your train/tube ride, Kol?
- Ayşe E.
Just an hour? ;-) Mine journey (if I worked in the regular London office) would be at least 2 hours each way. I live waaay beyond zone 6. Costs a bomb too. Tubes I don't mind too much as they are frequent but trains drive me potty. The whole country should have tube lines to everywhere. :-)
- Kol Tregaskes
Ayşe, it would be 2 and a bit hours each way. If I went to Newbury it would be 7 hours total travel time every day! But thankfully I'll be working from home most days... that is, when I get a laptop to work on; ;-) http://ff.im/5ZJ0b
- Kol Tregaskes
I commuted from Cobham into London by train and by car... although both painful, train slightly less provocative and soul killing!
- Thom Kennon
I have a bit of a walk and two trains to catch. pleanty of time to catch up on books, podcasts or sleep :)
- Roberto Bonini
2 hrs each way w/ the possibility of 7 hrs total travel time!?!?! OK, I will tuck away that little comment I had about wishing *I* could commute to London right now. Sorry, Kol. That ain't no fun. I used to commute about 30 min train + 15 min subway when I was in NY, and I didn't mind that commute because I had time to read and either wake up or unwind. Now I live about 15 mins from...

- Ayşe E.
Sorry for the laptop trouble, too! I can't understand why those things aren't put into place *before* an employee arrives on scene. My BFF is a high-level VP at a major bank; it took her almost two weeks to get *a phone*. Most of her work is done on conference calls. WTF.
- Ayşe E.
Sorry I've confused you there, I was talking about two different commutes: Up and down to London is over 2 hours each way. To and from Newbury is 3.5 hours each way. I've not commuted to Newbury for many years and I don't intend to do that ever again. Not regularly anyway. That was a killer. I literally had time to eat and face each night before going to bed to get up early the next day then used the weekends to catch up with sleep and relax.
- Kol Tregaskes
I enjoy the commute from my bedroom, down the staircase, and into my office. ;-)
- Dan Dashnaw
Oh that's just awful. I feel happy to live in a city like Los Angeles, and have an eight minute car ride to and from work. If I was ambitious and fit, I could likely bike it, but let's not get ahead of ourselves.
- Derrick
Nice, Dan. That'll be me when I get a laptop. :-)
- Kol Tregaskes
I had some commuting friends on the train, and started to enjoy the weird lazy conversations we'd had 45 minutes from SF->Palo Alto back in the 90s. And sometimes beers after work, too.
- anna sauce
When I worked outside the home, I always enjoyed my commute. It was only a 20 minute drive but it was relaxing. I kind of miss the drive to and from work now.
- Michelle M
the doughtnuts & coffee were kind of havoc on my 26 year old body, but not near enough what it'd do now. #ahhhhyouth
- anna sauce
Haha, Derrick. Get on your bike, do it. I hadn't ridden a bike since I was a kid when I started cycling to work a few years ago. Miss it a lot. You'll love it. :-)
- Kol Tregaskes
I loved biking from Cupertino to Palo Alto, on this long rolling expressway with only 3 stoplights, it seemed, then little neighborhoods, mature trees, not a lot of traffic. 12 miles each way.
- anna sauce
Anna, commuting in the UK can be very lonely.
- Kol Tregaskes
Bikes are freedom. I've always owned one, even if it sat in the garage for a while. I'm always freaked when I meet people who don't even own one.
- Spidra Webster
Now I have a 20-minute bridge commute, which goes through downtown SF and that's kind of stressful, but I'm used to it. It's a little crazy to drive a 7-mile bridge every day, but I mix it up with the underground or bus, or bike, once in a while.
- anna sauce
Agree, Spidra. Towns need to put more effort into cycle lanes, etc. London has this oh-so-wonderful cycle network proposal but it's a joke at best. :-(
- Kol Tregaskes
for my last IT job before i hung it up i was commuting 3+ hours 5 days a week by car. it realllly sucked.
- Joe Silence
I wish LA *was* more bike friendly. It can be a tough row for people because cars and car culture is so prevalent.
- Derrick
Yeah that's the problem with driving, at least with trains you can read and do something.
- Kol Tregaskes
Yup. LA is where I learned to cycle. I'm an experienced urban cyclist. However, I have to say that I'm not looking forward to the culture shock when I get back there. I'm not buying a car again.
- Spidra Webster
Kol are you taking a suburban train or the underground or driving?
- anna sauce
Derrick, I think lots of places are like that, it's a real shame. Don't even think about cycling around London's roads. :-( Saying that London has the river to ride along but not done that yet. Too much hassle to get my bike from down here in Kent to up there in London. :-(
- Kol Tregaskes
Well the worst, absolute worst, was flying to Seattle every Monday and returning on Friday. For 4 years.

But in Seattle I walked from apt. to work, about 1 mile through PIke Place, that was nice.

- Kol Tregaskes
Anna, I rarely leave the house without my MP3 player. ;-) I'm not just addicted to FriendFeed, I *love* music too. :-)
- Kol Tregaskes
Sorry just read your other comments... yeah the interchanges always set me back. it's kind of funny for me to hear a Brit complain about trains. You should see the things we call trains here. The SF-Palo Alto trip is on this old rickety line that runs once an hour.
- anna sauce
It's hard to manage in a recession, but living within a couple miles of work does LOADS to increase your quality of life.
- Spidra Webster
I'd miss it and be completely screwed. And no trains where you're going. No light rail, nada. Luckily that job was walkable from teh stop. Oh, and nobody takes the train. And it's a local so it stops at every f-ing stop. And no wifi, back then, of course now it may have it.

Kol, I just spent 2 hours last night getting home from West Kensington to Liverpool street. Starting at 1:30 AM...frickin London buses. Also, frickin' girls :/
- Zach Landes
I work next to the country's rail line, Amtrak, and it's hilarious. Only retired widows of railroad workers ride it. Nobody is waiting to get on, well, maybe 5 people. And it takes hours to go anywhere.
- anna sauce
I'm seriously having a hard time fathoming a 3.5-hr commute each way. That's just so wrong on so many levels, and I'm glad you won't have to deal w/ that anymore (or only rarely). Re: the mp3 player, listening to anything good lately?
- Ayşe E.
When I travel I love to take trains just because it's so exotic to have a working intercity rail system.
- anna sauce
Get an apt. in London, that's my suggestion. For the weekdays or occasional night in.
- anna sauce
@Spidra, I totally think of it as a quality of life issue, too. The length of our commute was a big factor in our house-buying decision.
- Ayşe E.
Anna, luckily we don't have many old trains, at least not in the SE of England. All are pretty new now, though I do remember those "lovely" slam down trains, gosh were they awful!
- Kol Tregaskes
Zach, buses are the worse, I avoid them like the plague. That's really bad, the buses that is. ;-)
- Kol Tregaskes
Ayşe, the 3.5 x 2 commute was definitely an exception. I did it only because I needed the work but they never gave me a long or even longish contract. Thankfully I was given the go ahead and I moved down there and actually lived there for 3-4 years. I had a few places, the first being about 20mins walk away from work. But I settled in a house a little further away, right next door to the train station but also the canal and rode to work every day. Great!! :-)
- Kol Tregaskes
Ayşe, don't get me started on music. I'll be hear all day and night. ;-) If you want my fave album atm I'd say it's Florence and the Machine, album of the year so far.
- Kol Tregaskes
I think the stress of commuting would be less if I had a decent phone to browse the net on. I just can't get on with the Nokia N97, I *need* the N97 and it's keyboard. :-)
- Kol Tregaskes
I like my commute - lasts about 5 minutes
- Bill Rawlinson
Bill, 5mins is a dream to me. :-)
- Kol Tregaskes
Andy, cool, it's a far better lifestyle (working from home). I can't see why more people don't do it (or are allowed to do it). No time wasted travelling around, no money wasted on over priced train/travel cards, less stress and, like you say, you avoid the dirt traps like central London and the tube. I used the District line today, mostly fine. But had to get on the train to get to Hayes from Ealing Broadway, chore!
- Kol Tregaskes
I did, however, have 8 years of commuting from Croydon to London every day. Sounds fine as it's a short trip and trains are very frequent at East Croydon but so crowded. It didn't help that I was using the lines of the Victoria line for that period. There was strikes, bomb threats and more during the 8 years. At first I really liked going up and down London (well I was only 19, I was stupid :-)) but the pain grew and grew. ;-) Just give us more trains!! Tsch.
- Kol Tregaskes
Thx for the music recommendation, Kol! I'll check it out. :)
- Ayşe E.
You're welcome, I could recommend 100s though. ;-)

Wrong Merchandise: Apple Sells Old Laptop, Wants Customer To Pay To Fix Problem - http://consumerist.com/5326360...

"Will thought he was buying the newest MacBook Pro model—that's what it said on the box and on the receipt. After he'd set it up, he discovered it was a previous model, so he took it back to the glass box Apple Store on Fifth Ave in NYC to get the version he paid for. Now Apple wants him to pay $100 to transfer his data over to the new laptop. But hey, he shouldn't complain, because they're "waiving" the restocking fee!"

- LANjackal
Yeah this person was kind of dumb. That would be the first thing I would have checked when I got the machine - knowing of the recent update. That is why I always order from the Apple Store online if I purchase something RIGHT after Apple does a product refresh....the online store would never sell the old merchandise.

Hutch, how long ago were we talking about how solid and potential an app GReader was but yet how untapped as far as becoming a hub for a information sharing and knowledge awareness? it is there for the taking...
- Lou Paglia
I know Lou. Getting rid of the opaque URLs, making it easy to find others and letting others see Likes is a big step. I'd like to see a list of who shares as well. Louis Gray has a nice write-up: http://www.louisgray.com/live...

I see all of this leading to a 'social gateway' of sorts, once Google Wave slides into place.
- Dan Dashnaw
Are one's likes visible to all, or only one's subscribers? If they're visible to all (same as friendfeed), then this provides a "discovery" mechanism. E.g. then I could discover new Google Reader users through their likes.
- Meryn Stol
One thing I don't see - a way to view the posts that you're Liked. I don't see a link to a listing of those.
- Hutch Carpenter
I'm always underwhelmed by Google's addition of social features... I hope for GOOG that the Google Wave team will do better. Otherwise, only the protocol might be of some relevance. FriendFeed (and other companies who know how to execute) will provide the end-user experience, and thus control the branding.
- Meryn Stol
Great point Meryn. That is where things get interesting, if they build a Google Reader/Google Wave app, it could be amazing.

What is lazyfeed all about Louis?
- LPH™ and his dog P™
LPH -- it is real-time powered blog search based on keywords, not sources. You want it.
- Louis Gray
BEX, LPH, I've only played with it a little. By adding some of your own feeds of your choice (I added Twitter and delicious) it looks at your tags and hashtags and shows you related content. You can also add any tags representing any topic you might be interested in. It's a little hard to explain beyond that, but it has a very simple interface that encourages serendipitous discovery of content on specific topics. I like it!
- Laura Norvig
Is FriendFeed supported?
- LPH™ and his dog P™
LPH, FriendFeed is not a blog that is discovered by LazyFeed.
- Louis Gray
Louis - can the RSS feed of FF though be used?
- LPH™ and his dog P™
well, there's a generic "add a blog" where you can put any URL you want and I tried adding my friendfeed URL but I'm not sure if it's working. [EDIT: No, I'm pretty sure that doesn't work.]
- Laura Norvig
Thank you for trying Laura!
- LPH™ and his dog P™
it's all about tags. So, for instance, it doesn't bring in all my tweets, only those that I used a hashtag in. And the main "point" of bringing that in is to surface the fact that I might be interested in that tag and might want to see other items from all across lazyfeed with that same tag.
- Laura Norvig
out of invites :( want to hook a friendfeeder up? ;)
- Tyler Gillies
The more I use this, I'm finding that it seems to be scraping a number of, well - 'questionable' sources for content. I'm hoping that they'll allow users to remove sources, vote things down, etc. in some fashion as things develop. It's a nice concept, but it definitely needs some serious refinement.
- Dan Dashnaw
Do you think it is scraping the entire blogosphere? Or only blogs added by users? I can't tell.

I'll have to try this. Does anyone know off-hand if after playback of a podcast is completed, so "Play Count is 1", does that podcast automatically disappear from the playlist on the iPhone, or does one have to resync for that to occur?

From what I understand Bill, that is exactly what this *should* do. Of course, I'm purely speculating based on the article's description of the functionality, and have not tested it myself. ;-)

Couple questions: why does it need to install as a service rather than just a standard app? Why does Firefox not like your site's security certificate?
- Patrick Jordan
Exactly Patrick. Kind of scared me away as well. That, along with the lack of any clear explanation about what I was getting into, sealed the 'no deal' for me.
- Dan Dashnaw
Downloaded it too although I'm not sure of it's utility, meaning I'm not sure exactly what it does. Is it actual app sharing or is it designed to simply tell people what apps you're using? Some clarity would be helpful as would some comfort about security and privacy. thanks.

Hi All, it is not possible to just list your purchased iPhone app without a third party program that does that. We ll soon have a native iPhone app in complement but still you ll need to install the app on your computer (it is a one time set up).
- Ouriel Ohayon
We had an issue with the security certificate (that protects your data). Now solved. Let us know if any issue (contact at appsfire dot com)
- Ouriel Ohayon
Re: Utility. The main purpose, today of appsfire, is to help users (and pubilshers) create and share simply their favorite iPhone apps. instead of manually doing the job, specially when you are asked for a recommendation, you can just point them to a link and also help your friends install faster the apps (they just have to click). Soon we ll allow users to make money out of this by sharing revenues with any app purchased via Appsfire
- Ouriel Ohayon
@ Ouriel - why does the app need to be installed as / run as a service? If I want it to re-check my set of apps, I'll ask it to. I don't feel a need for it to continually be running, and do not like the concept of that either.
- Patrick Jordan
@patrick you are in control. if you don't want an automatic update, just uncheck the box in the preference pane and when you want go there and rescan. We really focused on giving 100% to users
- Ouriel Ohayon
@ Ouriel - I noticed the checkbox to turn off automatic updating. That's fine, but that wasn't my question. My question was why does it need to run as a service, especially if I do not want auto-updates? Why does it not just install as a normal app, that I launch when I want to look at sharing iPhone apps?

Google Gears is apparently not yet compatible. No biggie for me, but an interesting extension to be lagging IMO.
- Dan Dashnaw
@Dan: Google's becoming like Apple, with a nasty trend of being initially "incompatible" with competitors' products. Fx 3.5 has been a LONG time coming now, there's no reason Gears shouldn't work with it unless Google's deliberately trying to frustrate people into using Chrome. That said, I dumped Gears for Fx a while back because I didn't find it useful enough
- LANjackal
@newmedias: I fix stop-or-reload button's manifest file and it works but the problem is, that's a burden and not a repeatable process for me. I don't want to keep my own repository of hacked extensions. BTW, userChrome in the link doesn't achieve what Stop-or-reload does. It just hides stop button when it's not relevant.

@LANjackal Ah - the spirit of competition. Really seems to help 'evil' make its way to the surface. ;-)

- Anthony Farrior
@LANjackal you might be right about Google's possible manipulative tactics in the competition but never skip the possibility of lack of human resources even in giants like Google. AFAIK, Gears started as a 20% time project and matured into a real product. Look at the Wave team, they're not 100s of people but just a small office in Sydney... Just trying to explore other perspectives. Maybe you're totally right about all of this. I don't know.
- Berk D. Demir
@Berk: LOL that argument would have worked back when Google was a startup. Now that it has 20K+ people, it falls flat, especially when in many cases all that's required to make an extension compatible is changing the maxversion parameter (possible wrong terminology)
- LANjackal
Tab Mix Plus isn't working 100% after making it compatible with 3.5 using Mr Tech Toolkit
- Willem (@wim66) ☠
Evernote Webclipper and No Squint aren't compatible either
- Willem (@wim66) ☠
@LANjackal no it's not that simple for a complicated extension like Gears. 3.5 introduces a new API for extension developers. It's not as dramatic as previous v2 to v3 change but it's still significant. Gears is open source and available at http://code.google.com/p... Months ago, I worked on a patch to make Gears a little bit easier on the resources with Safari and it's not a simple piece of extension. I still don't want to think it's just a competition tactic to lag behind. :)
