"The real question is: "why was Google recruiting at Syracuse?"" (http://www.businessinsider.com/my-nigh...)
This kind of snark isn't normally to my taste, except I remember being all set to go on a recruiting trip to Caltech and they cancelled it. Go figure. - Ruchira S. Datta
It's a comment left on the post itself. The commenters are pretty vicious to the author. Although it does make for hilarious reading. - Ana

Does this replace the D40x? Makes sense so you can share lenses - Benjamin Golub
Yep, I returned the S90 b/c I wasn't that happy w/ it, and sold the Nikon D40. I decided to go Canon whole-hog. - Ana
What didn't you like about the s90? - Benjamin Golub
I just didn't find the low-light quality that compelling. Seemed like my little Powershot is good enough when I need something compact. - Ana
I think I'm coming to the same conclusion, Ana. Situations where there's not enough light for my SD780 and I don't have my DSLR seems like a corner case that doesn't warrant the expense (and to a lesser extent extra bulk) of the S90. - Ken Sheppardson

I take it back. My life would only be 10% better if Facebook used Google Apps because tear-offs on email refuse to #$%$&@#$ work. Keith and MPD, get on it! :)
Tear-offs work for me, and I use them all the time on my Gmail account. - Tudor Bosman
Ana, are you using IE6 again? :) - Tudor Bosman
Tear-offs? - Benjamin Golub
No, they almost never work for me on Firefox. I've emailed Keith and MPD to complain about it and they said they were on it. It was better for awhile, but it's totally fubar again now. I cannot believe that this is a bug I've been complaining about since we launched Gmail and it's still so problematic. - Ana
Ben: Look at a message, click "New window" on the right side of the screen; this opens a new browser window with that message. Also, while composing or replying, there's a "new window" button to the right of the bar with the send / save now / discard buttons, which "tears off" the message that you're currently sending (including everything you typed up to that point) into a new window. - Tudor Bosman
Hrm, I use that all the time. Not sure if it's broken or not but it appears to work for me. - Benjamin Golub
It's probably Keith and MPD making sure that it's only broken for me. :) - Ana
Tear-offs fail to open for me so frequently that I have given up on them. - Gary Burd

But If We Started Dating It Would Ruin Our Friendship Where I Ask You To Do Things And You Do Them - The Onion
"We are just destined to be really, really good friends who only hang out when I don't have a boyfriend, but still need male attention to boost my fragile and all-consuming ego." - Ana from Bookmarklet
"Don't worry. You're so funny and smart and amazing, any girl but me would be lucky to date you. You'll find someone, I know it. And when you do, I'll be right by your side to suddenly become all flirty and affectionate with you in front of her, until she grows jealous and won't believe it when you say we're just friends. But when she dumps you, that's just what we'll be." - Dan Hsiao

Entire Office Unsure What To Do About Bawling Coworker - The Onion
"At press time, staff members were considering a variety of plans, including calling Underwood's parents, calling someone in Human Resources, sending Underwood an e-mail featuring a lighthearted Internet video, or just leaving for lunch and hoping that he is gone by the time they return. But whatever the solution eventually turns out to be, the only thing that seems certain is that nobody wants to go over there and deal with him directly. "Maybe he just hates his job," said one coworker, who spoke on condition of anonymity. "That's usually my reason when I start crying and can't stop."" - Ana from Bookmarklet

New York Marathon Winner Tests Positive For Performance-Enhancing Horse - The Onion - http://www.theonion.com/content...
New York Marathon Winner Tests Positive For Performance-Enhancing Horse - The Onion
""Meb's fellow competitors voiced their doubts about him immediately after the event," NYRR president Mary Wittenberg said. "In addition to his remarkable speed, unusual race-day height, and distinctive 'clip-clop' gait, Keflezighi's frequent nickering caused the other runners to speculate that he may have been using a horse in some fashion." Added Wittenberg, "Also, just before the start, he lifted up his tail and loudly deposited a 9-inch-high pile of steaming fecal matter on the pavement, an unusual occurrence even in the world of long-distance running."" - Ana from Bookmarklet
Awesome. But, er, I am reminded of that article I saw on FF just a while ago about how humans are particularly well-suited to long-distance running... </nerd> - Andrew C
Yes, horses won't win a marathon. They are great sprinters, but can't run for 26 miles. - Gabe
Er, 9-inch-high pile of fecal matter? Why did they measure the height? :) - Space Cowboy

Are there people out there w/ "test" Facebook accounts who want to be friends w/ my "test" Facebook account? :)
If so, email me at ayang@friendfeed.com w/ your Facebook profile :) - Ana
Ana, yeah - let me remember my e-mail address for that. I also need to confirm it's actually a test account - it keeps appearing in my list of suggested friends for some reason. - Jesse Stay
Awesome, thanks Jesse. I had that problem too! - Ana from IM
The technology around that has changed a bunch of the last year - I keep losing track! - Jesse Stay
Ah - found it. socialtootest@staynalive.com (don't care if people add - I think only test accounts can add anyway) - Jesse Stay
I've also got patonwilson@staynalive.com - haven't used that one in awhile - Jesse Stay
Jesse, are you sure those accounts don't have a lowered search visibility on FB? They're not showing up for me. - Ana from IM
You can create your own accounts as well though - create as many as you like and add them all as friends. - Jesse Stay
Ana, I think at one time there was a bug in search because I got a few e-mails to my test account asking if I knew them (assuming the name was an old friend of theirs) - Jesse Stay
You can also friend a real person - you have to add them as a friend before you create a developer/test account out of them. - Jesse Stay
Keep in mind that any testing you do will be visible to those you make as friends though, so don't friend them if you don't want them to see your testing :-) - Jesse Stay

I believe (correct me if I'm wrong) that that is actually ironic. Unlike this black fly in my Chardonnay, which is merely annoying. - Slippy "Threadsbane" Lane

Slippy, come on, she was being ironic by not being ironic ;) - LogEx
+1 LogEx. 'Isn't it Ironic' is an excellent title because 'it' is a self-reference to the song's title which refers to a song which is not at all ironic. Which is therefore ironic. - Kevin Fox

San Franciso Mayor Ends Run for Calif. Governor - NYTimes.com - http://www.nytimes.com/aponlin...
"His announcement was not a surprise to those following the Democratic campaign. Newsom was unable to find the same popularity throughout California that he enjoys in his home city. He trailed Attorney General Jerry Brown badly in fundraising, even though Brown has not officially announced his candidacy." - Ana from Bookmarklet

Yep. They also spammed the Geek Girls group: http://friendfeed.com/girlgee... - Rochelle
There's a Geek Girls group?!? - FFing Enigma (aka Tina)
Spammer hidden. In the future, please make sure to report it at http://friendfeed.com/about... to ensure someone looks into it. Thanks! - Dan Hsiao
Dan, are you saying we should not be reporting spammers to this room any more? Previously, that's what Paul requested we do. - Rochelle
Dan, maybe this group should be shutdown and forwarded to the link you posted. - Beau Liening
Maybe somebody could write a bot that takes the feed from this room and automatically fills out and submits the form.. ;-) - Ken Sheppardson
The form makes it difficult to follow the "Please search for an existing user before posting and Comment/Like the existing post instead of making a new one." guidance... - Ken Sheppardson
Ken, Paul said that FF has a filter/notification set up so they (or just he?) are alerted each time something is posted in this room so that it can be taken care of immediately. Seems that would serve the same purpose as filling out a form. - Rochelle
Yeah, I was kidding, Rochelle. I like that the reporting system for FriendFeed uses FriendFeed. Moving to some sort of old form based system seems... well... Facebooky - Ken Sheppardson
Heh. Maybe that's the point of Dan's new request? - Rochelle
I wish there was a button on the users page that said "Report as SPAM". - Beau Liening
That's sorta what I'm thinkin', Rochelle - Ken Sheppardson
Well, hopefully Dan and/or Paul can come in here and tell us what it is that they're wanting us to do now and what this room should be for, if not reporting spam. - Rochelle
Hmmm...on closer look of the group admin, it doesn't look like this group was setup by FF. - Beau Liening
It wasn't, but I was under the impression that FF liked the idea and wanted us to use this room to report spam. - Rochelle
Hi there, this room is not an official FriendFeed room. We do monitor it, but in general, using the contact forms is always the best way to reach us. Thanks! - Ana
So has something changed or is something changing, or has the form always been the preferred way of reporting these things? Not that it really matters, I suppose. - Ken Sheppardson

Gladiator is such a good movie. I can't help but watch it whenever it's on.
I wanted to make a list of movies that I can't help but watch when they're on, but can't think of that many right now. Can anyone else think of any? - Dan Hsiao
Have you seen the movie, Yip Man, yet? What about Bruce Lee movies? - imabonehead

A League of Their Own. Just about any other movie in this category I own (like Gladiator). - Anika
It's funny, even if I own the movie, I'll still stop to watch it on TV. I've had Gladiator on DVD for quite some time now and still got excited when I saw that it was on TNT last night. - Brian Chang
I used to do that Brian, but now the movie had to be shown on the HD channel for me to watch. Otherwise, I'll just go get my disc. HA! - Anika
shawshank redemption, field of dreams, corrina corrina, pretty woman. i'll also watch a league of their own, gladiator and forrest gump *nearly* anytime they're on. - Felicia Yue
The Bourne movies are also good ones (even though I didn't like the second movie). Batman Begins (+1 Brian) and Casino Royale are also good. Maybe I just like good action movies. :P - Dan Hsiao

Does anyone get a home subscription of the NYTimes, and happen to still have a copy of two of the more recent Sunday magazines (9/20 and 9/27). I am willing to pay for them :)
I might at home, Ana. I'll look tonight. - MVB (Curmudgeon of FF)
I looked, and no, I no longer have them. Already at the recyclers. - MVB (Curmudgeon of FF)
Yes, thanks to you, and I'll mail them tomorrow! xo - Adrienne

In Chinatown, Sound of the Future Is Mandarin - NYTimes.com - http://www.nytimes.com/2009...
In Chinatown, Sound of the Future Is Mandarin - NYTimes.com
"Cantonese, a dialect from southern China that has dominated the Chinatowns of North America for decades, is being rapidly swept aside by Mandarin, the national language of China and the lingua franca of most of the latest Chinese immigrants. The change can be heard in the neighborhood’s lively restaurants and solemn church services, in parks, street markets and language schools. It has been accelerated by Chinese-American parents, including many who speak Cantonese at home, as they press their children to learn Mandarin for the advantages it could bring as China’s influence grows in the world." - Ana from Bookmarklet

"Eating the Dinosaur" breaks down the game of football - Chuck Klosterman on ESPN
"I don't know what I see when I watch football. It must be something insane, because I should not enjoy it as much as I do. I must be seeing something so personal and so universal that understanding this question would tell me everything I need to know about who I am, and maybe I don't want that to happen. But perhaps it's simply this: Football allows the intellectual part of my brain to evolve, but it allows the emotional part to remain unchanged. It has a liberal cerebellum and a reactionary heart. And this is all I want from everything, all the time, always." - Ana from Bookmarklet

Scoble's says you're all bunk. Fwd: The most damning thing is that no one from the FriendFeed team or Facebook has joined the community here that is talking about it to tell us what's happening in the future. That, more than anything I've written or said communicates the future of FriendFeed. (via http://friendfeed.com/scoblei...)
Hi Shawn, we'd changed this group awhile back to be for users to post and discuss things w/ each other (see description). We still read and administer this group, but we've moved feedback/suggestions and bug reports to the forms linked from the contact page (we still reply to every single one of those, usually w/i 24 hours or so).
