Dan Sung Sa (3/5) - http://www.yelp.com/biz...
"We went to Dan Sung Sa at about 5pm on a Saturday evening. It really looked like a fun izakaya, although since we arrived early (with our two kids), we were the only patrons there. We are used to…"

Ichiban Okazuya Hawaii (4/5) - http://www.yelp.com/biz...
"As a first-timer to this hole-in-the-wall, it was a little difficult to order. The food looked and smelled wonderful, but do we order the lunch plate, special or some other combination? Luckily, when…"

USPS (4/5) - http://www.yelp.com/biz...

Cedar Park Public Library (5/5) - http://www.yelp.com/biz...

Total unofficial survey. For those of you who do use an instant messenger... Do you prefer gtalk or aim?

AIM because that's where all my friends are at, like it or not.
- Rodfather
Prefer Gtalk, but I use AIM and Skype more, because that's what we use at work. I actually really like Skype and would use it more (even just as a chat client) if more people I knew used it. As it is, everyone I know outside of work is on Gmail, so Gtalk is super easy to use.
- Jandy, ConcertMaven of FF
aim . . . it doesn't require an approval to add someone and there is no difference between services since I use Digsby
- Lindsey is Fierce!
I use adium or pidign as a client, have accounts everywhere and stay entirely IM service agnostic

GTalk please

What Mona said! Not everyone I know has migrated to GTalk and some even are on Yahoo Messenger. So I can't just commit to one. Adium (and Trillian when I was on PC!) rocks for me because of that.

has anyone seen the moon with jupiter and venus alongside it tonight? go check it out!
Great Scott!, FFing Enigma (aka Tina), Morton Fox and 11 other people liked this
according to something i read on national geographic: Jupiter and Venus are particularly bright, partly because both have highly reflective clouds that completely envelop them, but also because Venus is Earth's closest neighbor while Jupiter is the largest planet in the solar system. "This is set to be the best planetary gathering of the year, simply because it involves three of the brightest objects in the sky after the sun," said Geza Gyuk, director of astronomy at the Adler Planetarium in Chicago. "As long as you have clear skies in the early part of the evening, this is one astronomical event that's hard to miss."
- Cee Bee
Damn, missed that here
- Juan Pablo González
It was awesome
- Janet
YES, it was beautiful. Definitely an upside-down frown

But a lovely smiling face on the other side of the planet. Very inspiring.

It was really cool last night

Oh I missed that too. *going to look for pics*

We saw it from our window at dinnertime but didn't know what it was. I'll have to tell my kids about it tonight as we look again.

We saw it on Sunday night and again last night. Many photos were taken. Very cool.

It was wonderful last night! For some reason, though, it reminded me of a celestial shuttlecock...

We saw it Sunday night, it was beautiful. Last night was foggy and completely overcast.

Btw, that's actually okonomiyaki (Japanese pancake that's not sweet). I think it was too much effort for the Mail to explain it. :)

My number came up with "No interesting Mnemonics". :(
- Barron Fujimoto
My phone number has a more interesting pattern than its mnemonic.
- Morton Fox
My cell comes up as something pretty funny. It can't find what it really means since the last four digits are my last name.
- AJ Kohn
And is this just an aggregator of phone numbers for a telemarketing company?
- MVB (Curmudgeon of FF)
@Mark: *shrugs* don't know. Just thought the phone spell translation was interesting.

@AJ Call me skeptical, but, I don't give my number (or other stuff) just willy-nilly.

@Mark: Aww, I don't think they're doing anything with 'em. But I can understand the concern after the TwitterRank scare.

Google drops Bluetooth, GTalkService APIs from Android 1.0 - http://www.computerworld.com/action...

Bluetooth I don't care about (frankly) but GTalk? Really?

i KNEW it!! I'm still deciding between Dream and the iPhone... Premature 1st gen OS or Premature 2nd gen OS... hmmmm decisions, decisions ;)
- Mona Nomura
got to say that I wanted to keep the bluetooth. Got a great bluetooth keyboard that I would love to use with the Android phone (when it comes out).
- James Fridley
But isn't it (Bluetooth) a battery drainer, James?
- Mona Nomura
yes an no, currently I still use my Dell x51v for conferences and if I have to take a charger with me. Much smaller impact than taking a full laptop. Really hope to do that same function with the next device I buy so bluetooth is important. My guess would be that it would drain less than say GPS would...
- James Fridley
If they squeezed A2DP in there they'd be a serious step ahead of Apple. I use a Jabra BT620S stereo Bluetooth headset and the fact I need a dongle to listen to music on my iPhone even though it has Bluetooth built in still kills me.
- Brooks Bishop
James: What I don't understand is, Android and iPhones are supposed to be 'smart phones' and targeted towards business users. Yet the hardware, default software, and ESPECIALLY battery life are utterly useless... It's SO baffling to me :| Would you even use GPS on your Android handset?
- Mona Nomura
Brooks: You listen to music on your iPhone?! =O That's like battery drainage #1, no? @Matt: rofl!
- Mona Nomura
@James GPS is only receive though.
- Kevin L
Bluetooth keyboard support would be nice too.
- Rodfather
klecu: what do you mean by 'only receive'? @Rodfather: really? i like touchscreen... my iPhone typing is ridiculously fast haha
- Mona Nomura
It would be nice to have the option. A plain serial device support would also let you use a bluetooth GPS receiver too if you want a better signal. Using a Bluetooth keyboard would be nice if you need a real keyboard in case you need to make a blog post. This keyboard is great. It folds up to be fairly compact. Too bad it's not made anymore. http://www.amazon.com/iGO-Sto...
- Rodfather
Matt: GTalk is the kicker for me :| @Rodfather: I used to have one of those for my Palm ;) @Matt: There are already location based Social Networking sites integrated with GPS in beta. The one that interests me most, is a consumer review site like Yelp, that has geo tagging. Pretty neat :)
- Mona Nomura
while battery life is certainly an issue, using my crystal ball I would expect that battery tech and power generation (or even wireless charging) will be a sooner than later conversation. This would make both bluetooth and gps possible. Maybe I am just dreaming....
- James Fridley
I guess when it comes to it, maybe I am after the wrong thing. Maybe I just need a UMPC that I can add a sim chip to?
- James Fridley
OMG James, wireless charging = best. idea. EVER and ixnay on the umpc... Apple's tablet FTW! @Matt: I'm not a fan Yelp (SF), since it grew too large and now needs to be taken with a grain of salt :( They've also been caught taking bribes... yikes. Though I'm not a fan of location based Social Sites, Yellowpages is what's appealing to me the most. Wow, I can't believe how exciting technology is, seriously.

The Fujitsu U810 has been great for me for both work and home. These days it's all about <$500 netbooks though.

Drops BT? That sucks bc of the "law" out here in CA.
- Brandon
perhaps it makes sense to only have wifi ... bt is not cheap, open (anyone know who gets most of the royalties in the bt patent pool?) & is not secure in a cost effective way ... alternative & related issue - comparing USB to say FW not just 1394 (for example)
- Wes Schadenfreud
The article says the bluetooth API won't be available to developers in the first release, but will be in a future release. But BT headsets will work. Anyone using OpenMoko?
- Barron Fujimoto
Standard devices like BT headsets will still work. Android still contains a Bluetooh stack, but only BT device drivers supplied as part of the base platform will be allowed in the first release.
