Clash of the Tech Titans - http://armchairtheorist.com/2009...
"I don’t agree with you on this one. I don’t think anyone can legitimately argue that having more choice in this case is bad for the consumer. As much as we want the epic feeling of three tech giants fighting against each other and hoping for an ultimate winner to emerge, the reality is that all three companies complement each other. They may compete with each other in many areas, but all the same they also help fill each others’ voids. Take me as an example. I use a Windows 7 PC for both work and at home. My phone is an iPhone, and despite its flakiness on Wnidows, I use iTunes as my primary media player. I use GMail for my personal email, and iGoogle for my web browser start page, even though I use Bing (US version) as my main search engine. At work, we use SharePoint and Exchange for productivity and collaboration. My destination of choice for viewing movie trailers? You got it… the Apple Movie Trailers site, which I visit at least once a week. I can’t say I would be any happier or..."

Clash of the Tech Titans - http://armchairtheorist.com/2009...
"This is an op-ed piece, so this is just one person’s opinion on the three companies and how they are characterized. YMMV. However, I will suggest that Microsoft is one of the main reasons why we live in a world today where ample commoditized computing power is everywhere. They are the ones that helped lead the computer revolution for the past two decades. And we can’t deny the fact that millions of companies and enterprises today do depend on them in a day-in-day-out basis. I like your pick-up artist analogy. However, since we are not in the real world and we are in the world of analogies and metaphors, I would argue that everyone should be a pick-up artist. Because I believe we are all sophisticated enough and diversified enough that frankly speaking, not any one girl can entirely satisfy all of our needs, or even 80% of them. Why settle for adequacy when you can have it all?"

"Yeah, currently Windows Mobile is like the ugly stepchild of the Windows family right now. However, I have faith that Windows Mobile 7 will finally make Windows Mobile right, just like Windows 7 made Windows Vista right. I do think Apple cares a ton about gaming – just perhaps not desktop gaming. Apple is being very aggressive in the hand-held gaming space, trying to position the iPhone and the iPod Touch as a viable competitor to the PSP and Nintendo DS. I dare say 60-70% of the apps in the iTunes App Store are games…"

"Thanks for your comment. Actually, Silverlight has been seeing quite a fair bit of momentum these past couple years, particularly in the US. And remember – this technology is only about 2.5 yrs old! If you are from the US, no doubt you would have encountered Silverlight somewhere, since the NBC Olympics, various sporting events, Netflix, Hard Rock cafe, and others have adopted Silverlight for their websites. Also, check out the cool Microsoft Photosynth site (www.photosynth.net) – that is powered by Silverlight too!"

30 day challenge for October: No Microsoft Software - http://www.mattcutts.com/blog...
"Actually, it’s not very difficult to go Microsoft-free for 30 days – just like it’s not difficult to go Google-free for 30 days either. The reality is that with very few exceptions, the market today is filled with alternatives for just about everything. This is of course a *good* thing for us consumers. The question than really is – Which product choice fits your needs the best? Would you voluntarily cripple yourself to use an inferior option if viable superior alternatives are available? Of course, what is deemed inferior and superior is subjective for everyone. Personally, I won’t use Google Docs over Microsoft Office for my office productivity, just like I will never use Dailymotion over YouTube as my primary source of daily video snacking."

@phil couldn't you do the embed feature... ? post something to posterous.. and then 'edit' the post and paste the embed? Or maybe simply email it?
- Sean
my posterous: http://mystrongmedicine.posterous.com
- Sean
Phil, click on the 'Share' link of the FF entry, then copy the embed code. Create a new Posterous entry, select HTML mode and paste in the embed code. You'll need to edit the width and height (looks like 500 for width). Then post. :-)
- Kol Tregaskes
@ Phil Kol beat me to the explanation

Kol - thanks.

- David Gross
from email
David, I'm not sure it accepts all HTML. For the FF widgets use the image not the Javascript version.

Kol, yes I see.. I added it, I guess Twitter does not have anything but javascript and flash widgets.. It doesnt matter, since I autopost to twitter there is a button there..

- Amani
http://mylescrew.posterous.com/ Right now I'm just testing, the import from Blogger was REALLY easy. I'm trying to "port" BlurbBits (http://ff.im/4tlY2) to make them work better on posterous. The iframe style parameter gets removed, which is different than Blogger (there is *always* something).
- Chris Myles
Amani: If you set up autopost, they will appear. Here's the link: http://posterous.com/autopost
- Nick in Manila
Amani, the little images for twitter etc you get if you autopost to those sites but you might end up with duplicate posts that way. There is a friendfeed badge you can put in your posterous profile at http://friendfeed.com/embed... use the image format, not javascript.

@koltregaskes, my posterous is at http://alexschleber.posterous.com "Quick Hits Business Mindhacks". Had been using it quite a bit the first 6 months of this year. I'm a big fan of Garry & Sachin, but really wish posterous would hurry up with some of the much needed feature upgrades (skins and/or CSS, Retweet button - just use Tweetmeme, custom sidebar HTML, WYSIWIG bookmarklet, etc.) Seems like they're stalling a bit right now, no?

Your new ones are not showing up. I believe there's an option when you delete a source to also delete all existing items from that source. It pops a dialog box when you delete the source. Guessing you clicked no. Not sure if there's any way to go back.
