I think it's a minor miracle that team @gdgt got anything at all done this week after MW2. Proud of this crew and what we've got coming up.

"In Montreal, we’ve been seeing an additional mass of bikers weaving their way through the city lately. Us Montrealers are the lucky first recipients of a bunch of Bixi, North America’s first large-scale bicycle-sharing system, and boy are those bikes sexy. They’re computer-chip based, solar-powered, WiFi-enabled and have an old-school shape that’s easily recognizable. They also have LED head and taillights and a bell!"

Say what? I just read this in the FF TOS. What do you mean FriendFeed and I are "independent entities?" I always thought FriendFeed and I were one. Does this mean I'm fired?
- Thomas Hawk
And why should it?
- Owen Greaves
I just always thought that being on FriendFeed made me a FriendFeed "sales representative." We are not independent entities. Whatever happened to being one with FriendFeed like a surfer's one with the wave.
- Thomas Hawk
Wait, FriendFeed has a TOS?
- Ha3rvey (F please!)
I suppose this section of the TOS might be a good reminder for some around here (looks around) who might be taking things just a tad to seriously. Suppose it's good to have this in there just to avoid any confusion on the matter later over our joint partnership.
- Thomas Hawk
Well, at least now it should be clear that I'm not getting paid by friendfeed. :-)
- Robert Scoble
Robert is right. And since Bret, Jim, Paul & co. are on the same Friendfeed, I should conclude they're doing all the work voluntarily. That's very generous :)
- Jérôme
Facebook would be smart to copy and paste this into their agreement
- Joseph Akbrud
This is wrong. FriendFeed works for you.
- Louis Gray
Louis, I always thought especially you and FriendFeed were one. How can they now say you are in fact independent entities? I suppose this means we won't be getting matching funds in the FriendFeed 401k going forward?
- Thomas Hawk
Thomas, so far, my hostile takeover bid has not met well with the majority of their shareholders. But send me your bank account info and routing numbers, and I will see what I can do.

and my pc never crashes, we can all play this game. crashes and lockups happen all the time, on all different platforms. I just want to know who will have my refund when a kernel panic happens. If they said "less" it would be one thing, but they didn't.
- Richard Lawler
Yeah, I've managed to lock up my Mac Pro a few times. Not very often, but it's possible.
- Tom Harrison
I agree with Richard. I really honestly just don't understand the Mac vs. PC debate anymore. They're essentially the same thing now, you just get things done a little differently.

Tyler: it's not a Mac vs PC thing anymore it's Mac vs Windows (which can be reduced to Mac vs PC) but at it's core, it's apple vs microsoft ... plus the mac is a Personal Computer, but since Microsoft has given PCs a bad name they tried to brand the Mac as not a PC as to not muddle their brand's image.

This is funny, but continuing the same campaign isn't a big enough response. They need to come up with a campaign that resonates as well as the Laptop Hunters series.

Robert I just read that Tesla suppose to be working on a family car to be released at around $60,000
- Kevin Tunis
Kevin: yes, I'm one of the first in line for the second Tesla, the family car one that's going to be about $60,000. Still way too expensive for me, but since it'll probably be three years before I see that, I'll be saving up.
