Like #2. 10/07/2008. I like MyPunchBowl but no one uses it. The last few invites I've gotten are from Evite. Seems to me that competing with an already strong existing player in the market is really tough. - Robert Scoble
what are you going to do with the tags you add to your comments Robert? And are you trying to keep track of your likes each day? - Zee from WeDoCreative
Zee: this is just an experiment this week. They do make it easier for me to pull out the things I like by searching for them. - Robert Scoble
And with critical mass being reached Facebook is a player in this space too. I do not understand how these evite competitors are going to survive in the long run. - JonathanJoseph

Stacks is pretty cool. It uhh stacks the icons. Der haha - Mona N.
Interesting theme you've got there. - Andrew Trinh
nicerobot yes, I was on the devteam and helped with the initial jailbreak :) and stacks is cool also but I don't use it :P andrew it's the LeopardUI theme, the lock screen even uses a mouse pointer for 'scroll to unlock' - Michael J. Cohen (mjc)
WOW, you was in Dev Team!? I love you guys down there, you make back then better use for iPhone and iPod Touch. Now too, but theres appstore... :/ - Kristian Salonen

He's not pulling any punches - Mike Doeff
Gloves are off!! - Christopher Sacca
I wish I could like this a million times. - Shawn Farner
"need a ride to the airport?" - perfect - Jeff Woelker
"...no wait, she really hasn't handled a crisis like this in the past" :) - Vijayendra Mohanty
I guess SOMEONE's vote got lost... - Mavericks of Troy, NV!
Props to CBS for airing this. I wonder what was cut out around the sixth minute mark of the monologue. - Eddie LeBreton
It's on here, now, I'm loving how he's just ripping him, especially for cancelling his appearance on his show. - Trish R
that was awesomesauce. - Not Not Geoff Schultz
Lesson: Don't cancel on Letterman. - Christopher Welle
This is a nice bookend to the comments Chris Rock made about Obama the other day. Well played. - Mel "de Silentio" McB
it keeps looping :( - Anna Lynn M.
Finally...it works now. That was excellent! It's like McCain told him he had to wash his hair and couldn't make the show..then was caught out at the bar...hilarious! - Anna Lynn M.
McCain CHEATED ON DAVID LETTERMEN! - Christopher Welle
ROFL. Go to about minute 3 where he recommends that Palin takes over the campaign during this "crisis" and minute 6 where he stops at CBS for a TV interview on his "emergency" trip to the airport. - scott willeke
That's why we all wanted Letterman to win "The Late Shift." - Bryan R. Adams
Ouch. But he was right. And to be honest, Letterman hasn't been funny in a long time but it's good to see he's still got some fight left in him. - R. Alexander Spoerer

Obama Explodes Mischaracterizations About Energy Policy
Play
August 6 at 2:54 pm - Link
I love that Obama is constantly pointing out the childish attacks and redirecting the discussions to actual issues. - ·[▪_▪]·
Whoa, this is the local CBS station here in Vegas. Jon Ralston is really asking stupid, loaded, rhetorical questions. Sigh. - Michael Chilson
I'm excited that Obama actually seems like he could get stuff done. Give and take - what a concept! Create a situation where everyone feels like they got something (and gave up something) and you could actually move this country ahead. - AJ Kohn
Reporters: please don't say "the American people want to know". You don't know me, so don't speak for me. I love it when some reporter tries to trip up the interviewee (thanks to Faux News for this tactic) and the reporter winds up looking like a tool. I'm not an Obama fanatic, but the way he handled this certainly impresses me. - Paul Reynolds
Obama "proxy" speaks for American people! - Igor The Troll
I like that Obama is promising this guy more interviews. He's not very good and Obama smokes him. It's a good platform for him to look superior! - Andrew Burd
I'm grabbing my flashlight and inflating my tires RIGHT NOW. - Charles LePage
Charles: it's good that you are being proactive. You are actually doing more to help our energy independence than mccain's plan will do for 5-10 years. - Andrew Burd
I say, let's do short term and long term. Inflate tires now, but drill now for future supplies. And please, let's develop an electric car that won't cost me 20 grand. - Charles LePage
Yea, I agree Andrew. Obama commanded this interview, and then at the end of the interview, he ended it with, "cya man." Obama knows how to handle himself. - Louis Ponder via twhirl
Yeah and that is his pitfall. He is manipulating not sincere! Reminds me of Robert Scoble and Nanci Peloci! Where is the heart? Where is the integrity? Power and popularity are not the tools of leadership unless you are Stalin or Hitler. - Igor The Troll
I want to see Obama come down to Friend Feed and debate some of us! How long do you give him before he screams uncle and runs away with his tail between his legs? lmao - Igor The Troll
Igor, I just think it has been awhile since we have seen someone that can be sincere and well liked at the same time. While I dont think Obama is perfect, he's a step in a better (not right... what is "right") direction, something this country needs at this point in time. - Louis Ponder via twhirl
I wish it was so! I really wish it was so! The whole world is looking up for America to lead by example! Maybe if he would stop denouncing at his convenience he would set the "right" example. But he just advocates "change" Does not strike as sincerity to me! - Igor The Troll
Obama is just a good marketing machine to the hipsters! Can smell the sales pitch a mile away! - Igor The Troll
Only a good sales person can pick up the nuances and subliminal suggestions to identify the "spoof" the fake gold! A tourist would think the chain is pure gold while a knowledgeable person would realize it is just gold filed or gold plated! - Igor The Troll
You may be right Igor, but between Obama and McCain... Obama 2008. McCain's ad camp is complaining how the media loves Obama. If only McCain could give the media something to talk about besides his age related conditions. Who's behind the curtain? - Louis Ponder via twhirl
Let me explain it in SEO terms! Obama is a great Link Bait! - Igor The Troll
@Igor: Politics *is* sales and marketing in this day and age. Least, that's how I see it. So why hold it against the guy if he's good at it? - AJ Kohn
lol Igor, my kinda terms. - Louis Ponder via twhirl
blah blah blah! change what your mind? - Carroll Sturm
Well we know Nanci Peloci is pulling Obama's strings! Would you want her as president? And McCanin is being handled by conservatives! I prefer conservatives to Ego Maniacs any day of the week! Give me substance not rhetorics! I am a beef and potato man! "Blah, Blah, Blah" - Igor The Troll
Beef and Potato! Nothing fancy but has substance! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v... IPhones do not run a society! - Igor The Troll
Obama: 'I was against off shore drilling before I was for it.' I did not see a commanding performance by a sincere leader. I saw politician upset that someone challenged his point of view. He's no Prince Of Change to me. - Charles LePage
I will be proud to have Obama as my president come 2009. The other guy, not so much. Sincerity vs. pandering is no mach in my book. - Tsega Dinka
Why not elect Robert Scoble? You will be jacked in 24/7 Synthetic happiness! lmao - Igor The Troll
@Tsega D: Sincerity vs. Pandering? From an objective, middle of the road viewpoint, this election isn't about that...it's about Pandering vs. Pandering...whoever does the most wins. Douchebag vs. Turd Sandwich. - Sean McGee
@sean ...wow, that's harsh. someone has to run this machine, no? - .LAG
@sean: It's up to each one of us to make that call and I'm calling it as I see it. - Tsega Dinka
Sean, nice! The Naked Truth! Not many can face stark reality! They need their Prozac to keep going! lmao - Igor The Troll
Can we try Linux on Unix? I heard it works great! ;-) - Igor The Troll
@Tsega D: You're calling it Sincerity because he's pandered enough to you're personal views. Don't mean to be harsh. People like to call Bush a Snake Oil Salesman, but it's easy to spot a Snake Oil Salesman after you buy the Snake Oil and realize it doesn't work. What about the next one down the road? You won't know until you realize all he's selling you is Castor Oil. - Sean McGee

Google Calendar + Remember the Milk + ActiveDesktop = geektastic awesomeness - Derrick Burns
great ideas I never thought of doing that before might be cool to mix and match a pretty picture and one of these other alternitives - Charles Rice via twhirl
I'll stick with your nightime shot of the Whitehouse (currently parked on the big design display) and the Ester Dyson shot (on the MBPro). Thanks btw for open sourcing your photos! :) - Gerald Buckley
Great find... just got started on the GTD path, so this + your last WorkTV segment were very timely. THX again - Jericho
Active Desktop FTW. I've put myself together a tabbed page via Yahoo! UI tab view library, with things like Airset, remember the milk, various igoogle gadgets inc password generator, a tab with another set of tabs inside it for webmin for various servers, a tab for phpMyAdmin, one for site company wiki, one for company trac server, one for a tiddlywiki 'scratchpad'. All of this accessible with just two keys (WIN + D) = productivity++. - Mat
Great idea! - Ronald
I'm not a fan of wallpapers. I generally have black or some cool nasa image, currently of a hurricane from the space station. I do like to use an app called sideslide on the pc, for most of the same reason people put icons on their desktop. - Shawn McCollum
Finally proper use of the desktop! yeah...cool idea - Susan Beebe

“I was checking out the HP Touchsmart PC, and was wondering... does anyone have any guesses on the cost/markup on touchscreens-- specifically in the iMac/multi-touch realm?”
July 21 at 10:37 am - Link
Beaucoup? - l0ckergn0me
You know, I don't think so. I just played with the Touchsmart from HP and damn, A++ .. it's 1299 or 1499 and is a 22" multitouch imac basically, with 320 GB, 4gb ram, wifi bluetooth, lots of ports and utter pornish shiny black mac UI. yeah it's vista (64) but hey, i know how to use computers so OS is really irrelevant at this point. So it HAS to be coming down. - Eric Rice
Saw that at Fry's and I was intrigued. - Jason Wehmhoener
Eric +1 on OS irrelevance at this point. - Mark Forman
-1 to that. (Am I allowed to do that?) - ⓞnor
-1 to what, nor? The computer, OS irrelevance? - Eric Rice
OS irrelevance, sorry. The computer looks perfectly awesome. I guess I'm disagreeing that people who care about operating systems must not "know how to use computers". - ⓞnor
I'm agreeing +1 + -1=0 + xD - Mark Forman
ⓞnor: He's not talking about others, he's talking about himself. He's savvy with the major OS's so it doesn't matter to him what's loaded on it, ya know? - Jim Stanger
Yeah what Jim said. I prefer mac, but whatev, gimme what you got. - Eric Rice
Mark, Mark, EASY ON THE MATHS - Eric Rice
Before anyone goes crazy and buys a touchscreen PC, keep in mind that HP did this before. Back in the 80's they released a PC called the "vectra" that had a touch screen. People quickly found out that it was a bit gimmiky but more importantly, their arm got tired. So unless you can lay the touchsmart out flat, or only use it occasionally, you will be dealing with a tired arm. - Phil Glockner

Just remember how low beneath mininum wage the wages are in jobs where tips are expected income the next time you feel the service wasn't worth a tip ;) - Michael W. May via twhirl
I get shitty service, you get shitty tip. - Anthony Citrano
Anthony: I agree... in principle. I'm just not convinced that it actually gets the point across. - Roger Benningfield
I usually leave a note explaining why. usually amongst the lines of Tip = Gratuity... =( Then speak with a manager. (I've heard stories about people getting chased once they've left the restaurant) And yes, I've worked in service. - Mona N.
Yeah in practice it's messier. I'm a generous tipper and have worked in restaurants - I know many things are beyond a server's control. But don't expect to be able to ignore me and leave my water glass empty all night and get 30%. That's all I'm sayin' - Anthony Citrano
A-MEN.. especially with the "foodie" boom, all these pretentious restaurants with their snooty staff piss me off. I have to be ULTRA nice border line fake in order to get semi decent service. It's tiring. - Mona N.
Great pics! I never had the guts to do the ketchup one... - Mitchell Tsai
It's funny but downright rude... - Mona N.
In Brooklyn we always heated up the change on a fork but... - Mark Forman
I guess I'm too easy in granting the bad day excuse to people. If I can afford to eat out, I tip, period. - Michael W. May via twhirl
But don't you think that makes it acceptable to give crap service? - Mona N.
Say it how it is. - Akshay Dodeja
i have to side with mwm here, definitely. if the service is really bad--I mean, assuming it is even the server's fault--then i leave less of a tip. otherwise, i always tip 20%. - edythe
polly you're awesome for that. i'm about principle. if a person is a jerk i give them zero.... - Mona N.
I'm Mr. Pink. If you've seen Reservoir Dogs, you know my position. I'll tip generously if they do a good job. If not, I've got the smallest violin in the world, playing just for the waiters and waitresses of the world. - Mark "Rizzn" Hopkins
OWNED! - k00pa
I think the "Boo. You FAIL" one is the tipping equivalent of teabagging. - ha3rvey (That One)
HA! Nice comparison, Harvey. :) - Nathaniel Payne
Had a buddy that left a negative tip once. Even subtracted it from the total. Needless to say it was horrible service - andy brudtkuhl
Giving a lower tip for poor service is fine. I do that, and also give higher tips for great service. But doing outright rude things or giving no tip only reflects poorly on you the customer, not the server. - AJ Kohn
Oh, I love, love, love that website. I was just telling my friend about it the other day. Constantly cracks me up (But stiffing a waiter/waitress is wrong. They would have to physically abuse me or something. It's a hard, hard job). - Sarah Perez
The tip is not of much consequence. Bad service means I don't go there again. Ever. - Morton Fox
I think that's rude...but I'm pretty impressed with the ketchup handwriting. - Nicholas Molnar
And mustard underlining. - Anthony Citrano
This is classic! - Tim FitzGerald
I normally round up to the nearest dollar then give 20% on that. Utards tend to be horrible tippers because of the large families so I tend to overcompensate. I can only recall two times I deliberately tipped less than 20%. Once I was short on cash. The other time the server spent the entire time talking to his buddies at the table next to me. - Kevin D.
