If I had to guess, I would say 1) some type of Youtube Appliance (=Apple TV done right) or 2) Google News 3.0 (shifting from news to a discovery engine). The TV thing is probably bigger and somewhere they have a big competitive advantage with Youtube.

In Poll, Wide Support for Government-Run Health - NYTimes.com - http://www.nytimes.com/glogin...

"Americans overwhelmingly support substantial changes to the health care system and are strongly behind one of the most contentious proposals Congress is considering, a government-run insurance plan to compete with private insurers, according to the latest New York Times/CBS News poll... The poll found that most Americans would be willing to pay higher taxes so everyone could have health insurance and that they said the government could do a better job of holding down health-care costs than the private sector."

That's what we have in France. It allows everyone to have access to healthcare. It is very expensive to the government though...
- Jim Braux-Zin
Please stop thinking socialism=stalinism...
- Jim Braux-Zin
The problem with the arguments against this is they focus on a single payer plan when this is focused on a public option for insurance. It would be very cool to have an honest discusion on the actual issue, as it's very debate worthy.
- Andrew
@Randy: So would you consider the current situation acceptable? When there's no public option (not the single-payer strawman so many seem to be arguing against, but which no one is seriously proposing), you end up with many people who *cannot* get insurance at any reasonable rate because of some condition over which they have no control. My brother has epilepsy. I have a couple of friends with autistic children. In all of these cases, private insurance companies simply won't insure them.
- Joel Webber
Then, of course, there's the hidden "public option" which already imposes a huge burden on government coffers: the fact that hospitals are required to eat the cost of the uninsured in emergency rooms, where care is often drastically more expensive than preventive care. If you want the government to stay completely out of healthcare, then you have to accept letting the uninsured poor die outside emergency rooms.
- Joel Webber
Many other developed nations have public healthcare systems, such as France as Jim pointed out. These health care systems work better than ours by established metrics. About veterans' health care, please refer to _Best Care Anywhere: Why VA Health Care is Better Than Yours_. The assertion about what "history has always shown" is not supported by specific, empirical evidence.
- Ruchira S. Datta
History has shown that governments only get larger. So what if we stopped whining about big government and started figuring out how to make our largest institutions (AIG, Citi, GM, AT&T, the government, etc.) work for us instead of against us?
- Daniel Dulitz
Seems to me that a good way to do that would be to give our large institutions large problems to solve, problems that will destroy us if not solved. Non-govt has had 30 years to fix healthcare and failed. Time to try something new.

Dogmatism sucks. Too many have knee-jerk reactions to any proposal on both sides of the political spectrum, and cherry pick anecdotes or regurgitate viral memetic talking points.

I know several people who are americans who are denied insurance because pre-existing conditions. Their problems apparently was the be born. That is not ok.

It's simply isn't an opt-out thing, as the costs tend to be shuffled around instead when people can't pay inflated costs because they don't have (as in can't afford) or can't get insurance.

Tracy, Amit Patel, Kyle Williams and 47 other people liked this
"On Thursday the film’s director, Ridley Scott, announced that a new division of his commercials company, RSA Films, was working on a video series called “Purefold.” The series of linked 5- to 10-minute shorts, aimed first at the Web and then perhaps television, will be set at a point in time before 2019, when the Harrison Ford movie takes place in a dystopian Los Angeles. Mr. Scott, his brother Tony and his son Luke are developing the project in conjunction with the independent studio Ag8, which is run by one of the creators of “Where are the Joneses?” a British Web sitcom that solicited storyline suggestions from the audience. Similarly, “Purefold” will harvest story input from its viewers, in conjunction with the social media site FriendFeed."

Peter, not sure what you mean; no PR agency is involved and no press release was, erm, released - we've just explained the basics to the project to 2 reporters. We have also talked to many people over the past few months about what we aim to acheive. We'll be blogging about the past 9 months development and the forthcoming outputs soon. PR may be used to brief in more 'mainstream' magazines in due course. (And glad to see a Paul Graham essay used as referenced - I'm a big fan)

"... We haven't explained the novel way of how we're using FriendFeed yet, there's a few concepts we need to explain before we do ..." Write it up: how Purefold & Friendfeed want the process to work.

I'll take the info-glut every time.
- Peter Renshaw
Hey Peter, you and I both, but I'm presuming many cant. We'll add a 'features' as we go, then I suspect I wont face mass confusion. Purefold is designed as a large system, using lots of FriendFeed Groups to mix streams of material. If anything, at this stage, we're getting feedback on the basic concept, clarifying, and them moving forward. I think when we explain how we'll be using FFeed API, you'll 'get it' quickly.

@Robert cannot seem to do that with groups. What I want to do: Concentrate different RSS feeds (e.g. newswires) which do not necessarily have an account in any other social network into one imaginary friend's collection of feeds.
- Mark Jacobs
Mark, "groups" (formerly "rooms") are able to import feeds just like regular users (and imaginary friends). See https://friendfeed.com/xoogle-... for example (imports the blogs of all known xoogle startups). The only thing special about imaginary friends is that they don't have usernames (or rather we assign a random 128 bit username).
- Paul Buchheit
Paul, the DM option on imaginary friends should perhaps be removed. Also, imaginary friends do not show up on the search dropdown list when you type in their name in the search box.
- Kol Tregaskes
Paul, is it possible to automatically create "imaginary friends" from twitter following list?

"The nature of the personal computer is simply not fully understood by companies like Apple (or anyone else for that matter). Apple makes the arrogant assumption of thinking that it knows what you want and need. It, unfortunately, leaves the “why” out of the equation — as in “why would I want this?” The Macintosh uses an experimental pointing device called a ‘mouse’. There is no evidence that people want to use these things. I dont want one of these new fangled devices."
