this is the kind of thing I would not have let out in trailers. How much more badass would it have been to see this for the first time in the theater during the movie? (the answer is tons)
- Joe "Brrzzzzzzt" Pierce
agreed, Joe. As awesome as this is, I feel like this will underwhelm me some when I finally see it in the theater due to seeing it beforehand. :-/
- Jonathan Hardesty
You should see WarHammer and IronMan fighting side by side. That scene will be the AWESOMENESS!

I really can't wait for 30 movies with Robert Downey Jr. kicking serious butt

could an android app conceivably turn your android phone into a 'podcast player'?
- Chris Heath
Very close. The iPhone Voice Memo app isint quite up to recording good podcasts tho.

audioboo is good... i haven't pushed it's limits yet for size, and i'm sure there might be uploading restrictions along the pipe somewhere... someone should test it out and try
- Chris Heath
Talk about 200 pound gorilla! A compelling graphic of just how big the iPhone is compared to the other mobiles. (via http://www.ismashphone.com/2009... )
I also need a number - was just about to pull the trigger on SkypeIn... spose I'll wait.. But I guarantee they wont have an Iowa area code (Vonage is the only VOIP carrier in Iowa that has access to our area codes)

@Jason that's essentially what i want it for - to funnel business calls

There are rumors that Google will be buying Skype. What are the odds that is what GrandCentral 2.0 will be?
- FFing Enigma
If Google Bought Skype, it would basically just merge Google Talk with Skype, creating Google Skalt.

Do we have to go to google voice? When do they start charging :(

I can't wait to not give my personal numbers out to anybody and everybody.

I think an important element to this that isn't immediately obvious (if you don't click through) is that this is addressed to Gary Vaynerchuk of Wine Library TV, who has started to use a video as an email auto-responder: http://tv.winelibrary.com/garyvs-...
- Mark Trapp
This sniffs of a transparent Lonelygirl15 spoof to promote Gary's book, 'natch.
- joshua fouts
Yes, Vaynerchuk's video response to email is significant, and Andrew's dislike of same. I think the video is great, it may be Rocketboom 2.0.
- Dave Winer
I've fallen victim to Gary's auto email reply, with his video link, before. lol.

"The Social Collider reveals cross-connections between conversations on Twitter. With the Internet's promise of instant and absolute connectedness, two things appear to be curiously underrepresented: both temporal and lateral perspective of our data-trails. Yet, the amount of data we are constantly producing provides a whole world of contexts, many of which can reveal astonishing relationships if only looked at through time."

what a cool visualization of the social grid - try putting in a prolific twitter conversation starter, amazing :)

AT&T is awful. They lied about 3G. Everyone I know has dealt with their awful customer service, whether it is DSL, Phone, or Internet.

oh god I know. It Sucks. More like more bars in some places.
- TheHenry
So true I would get an iPhone, but I refuse b/c it is on AT&T's network.
- Computerwhiz1
seeing these posts, I'm realizing how lucky I am. I always have bars with my Iphone. Verizon had me in the "dead zone"
- BEX
Yes. I went iPhone only, dumping my t-mobile blackberry service, only to discover that AT&T continues to suck. How can my vintage blackberry work just fine in my office, but my new shiny iPhone sucks wind. Sigh.
- Shawn Thompson
Yep. Don't take your iPhone across the 520 bridge. It'll drop calls at both ends. You'll have no data east of Woodinville and no voice east of monroe.
- Christian Anderson
Hmm. I have the occasional drop, but my AT&T service is just fine. I'm an outlier?
- Mike Nayyar
So those of us who get great AT&T reception are liars
- Bwana ☠
I used to love att, prolly because I was one of their employee's and was brainwashed, the android g1 made me a tmobile customer and I only pay 40 a month for unlimited everything with google voice and myfaves ;)

I'm working on getting a video up with Bill Storage (a friend of mine I've known since the mid 1990s -- he's a long-time programmer and entrepreneur) because how he does these gigapixel photos really rocks (you need Microsoft's Silverlight to see them in full glory). His site is at http://www.bstorage.com and his Twitter stream is here: http://twitter.com/bstorage

these are way cool, did you see the one at the inuagration?
- chaz2b
Oh, and he's the only guy I know who has had a naked Victoria Secrets model in his house naked and has the beautiful pictures to prove it (I don't think he has any of those online, but I'm trying to convince him). His wife helped him shoot the photos. I asked him how he kept it together with such a beautiful woman naked in his apartment and he said he was too nervous about doing a good job with the photos that he focused on the work and not on her. A better man than me.
- Robert Scoble
chaz2b: yeah, that was cool. Bill is trying to find a better robot so he can use even longer lenses. He's a real innovator in trying to increase the resolution and he always comes up with interesting stuff.
- Robert Scoble
His Flickr photos are here: http://www.flickr.com/photos... -- he loves doing cave work too. Spelunking, I think they call it. Really is a nut about that. His photos of caves are stunning.
- Robert Scoble
thanks, and after i saw the resolution of the inuagration shot(s) i dont know how much better they can be (wow)
- chaz2b
Spelunking videos would be neat. My bro is too cheap to buy his own camera.
- coldbrew
Chaz2b: he's trying to build a robot that will use 400mm lenses, which would get the resolution even tighter than it is today. Plus he got a Canon 5D MKII. He is so precise he was able to show me resolution differences between the Canon lenses. Also, in one of the photos his wife is on the balcony of their apartment. You can't see her with the naked eye, she's so far away.
- Robert Scoble
wow, and i was impressed being able to tell thet VP Cheeny was in a wheel chair at the inuagration from how ever far away he was while taking the pics. thats some incredible info, thanks.
- chaz2b
Mr. Storage's gigapixel photos. Makes sense.
- Odi Kosmatos
yes! we used one of the inauguration in our class to explain size of images and why it matters. Then my friend played "where in the crowd is Yo-Yo Ma?" with his students :) super cool
- Anna Lynn M.
Two shy and timid creatures have found each other in safe companionship….. Photographer travels the world photographing animals and is well known. Had just returned from a long trip when he spotted these adorable little guys in his backyard. He set up a camera on his porch and wound up getting award winning photos in his own back yard!!

Only Problem...I have email notifications on my Google Calendars...and Mail.App wants to pop up and send an "Email Reminder". I don't want that, a popup would be nice.
- Kreg Steppe
Good step in the right direction. I wish that events entered into the iPhone updated GCal instead of just the local iCal data.
- RyanEs
CalDAV is the open calendaring protocol that supercedes proprietary scheduling solutions like Outlook and Groupwise. Unfortunately, Google's first iteration of CalDAV support does not include "availability" so you cannot do a "busy0-search" of your CalDAV-using peers when you set up an appointment.
- Glenn Batuyong
Two way sync between iCal and gCal is what's new, kids. Also, +1 Drew Lucas.
