Roy Pledge: I don't think they will release it. - Mister IQ

So far, Palm Pre looks way better than Blackberry, I see it as 1. iPhone 2. Pre/WebOS 3. Blackberry 4. everyone else - James Britton

An iPod Touch with a camera would be awesome, then it can be used with all the camera apps on the app store - Matthew

My WinMo phone has an app to turn it into a wifi router - Michael Benny

I have a T-Mobile MDA and haven't upgraded because EDGE data is costing me $5 but if I got a new phone, it would be $25!, thats over $200 more per year! - Sean Flaherty

I'm sure we'll see webOS on different form factors withing 12 months... there's already a candybar in the works - Ken Sheppardson

@Jay throw Android in at number three (maybe tied with 2) and shove blackberry down - James Britton

Japan has HD video cell phones already! - Scott Hubble

Matthew: Still it may not be released until September by my guess. - Mister IQ

Google gave out free phones at I/O - think Apple will do the same at WWDC? - Jesse Stay

"apple has a tendency to make me drool" - Jay McCormack

how about a 3G macbook Air using a via cpu & ION platform - Michael Mooney

Mister IQ, I definitely agree with that - Matthew

it won't be a tablet either, it won't have a pen. - Jackson Pollock

@Ken Definitely. It makes no sense to switch over to Sprint. - Andre D.

Jesse: What plans did they 'give out' - Jay McCormack

Netbook???? - Roberto Bonini

Apple stone tablet - James Britton

Google gave out G2s with a pre-paid card - Ken Sheppardson

no, they said that they were looking at it, but only for research - Jackson Pollock

Jay, Google gave a month of free service with the phone for developers to play with. - Jesse Stay

The Crunchpad? - Greg Byrne

Apple will release a netbook, but it'll cost $1800 - Jay McCormack

netbooks are in their first year. apple never jumps on something that new. - Jackson Pollock

Apple TV in a TV? i doubt, but ok Calicanis... - Mister IQ

Perhaps our definateion of netbook is wrong. Jason explain what is the spec of Apple Netbook - Akshay Dodeja

I wish a CrucnchTablet! :D - Daynah

I agree..... A new revamped ATV is more likely - Roberto Bonini

It hadn't occured to me that Apple could do a *subsidized* small laptop... hm... - Ken Sheppardson

Crunch tablet looks good, and at $300 it would be a bargain, we'll see. - Matthew

I agree with Jay... - Daynah

James Britton: I still want a CrunchPad... - Mister IQ

The only way Apple would do a tablet-like machine, it would be with the iPhone OS - Jackson Pollock

Jackson: That would be cool - Jay McCormack

Apple will never release a netbook with ATOM processor. - Akshay Dodeja

Is there a way to keep the twit.tv popout window always on top? - zephyrlily

zephyrlily: I use nvidia software to put any window on top - Jay McCormack

Apple Might Make a netbook but they will redefine what netbooks are - nanochrome

zephyrlily, you would probably have to have a separate app that does that for you - Matthew

Jackson Pollock: I hope it would have a full version of OS X. - Mister IQ

I think Apple might drop the price of AIR, the margins on - Akshay Dodeja

Steve hates pens and gloves and everything like that. They would never do a tablet with a pen, and never do a tablet without a pen, but with OSX. It will be a huge iPhone - Jackson Pollock

I tend to agree with Jeff Cannata about tablets, iPhone is a perfect size, just needs more power/storage/openness - James Britton

Yea for Man Purses! :D We can accessorize together. :) - Daynah

INET - nanochrome

Dear Jason, you know which platforms already have the turn-it-into-a-wifi-hotspot app you described? Windows Mobile and Symbian. For months. - Vlad Bobleanta

iBook - Jim Bednarz

tom's exactly right - Chris Heath

Mister IQ. They would never do that. if an engineer gave Steve a touchscreen devise that you have to hit a tiny little red x in a corner to exit an app, he would throw it out the window. It has to have a touchscreen OS. - Jackson Pollock

I'm so proud of them, they haven't mentioned twitter once! - Curtis

They're not going to release a Netbook unless there is some sort of developer focus. Remember this is a dev conference. - Jesse Stay

@Ken Thinking about it now, I've yet to see one in person. - 321

Macbook Air Touch???? - Roberto Bonini

sorry not the chat itself, but the scrolling part. - Akshay Dodeja

Akshay: Try this view - http://friendfeed.com/twit-co... - Ken Sheppardson

Apple will never make anything with a pen or a hinge that you rotate. It breaks with every one of Dieter Rams' rules of good design. - Jackson Pollock

if you open it in a second window the comments will scroll up from the comment box - BryanSchuetz

@ken that was really helpful. How do we find these embed links ourselves? - Lise

@Ken thanks! Much better! :) - Akshay Dodeja

@ken thanks - Jackson Pollock

kshep: oh thanks, that view is waaaay better. wish it was default. - Vlad Bobleanta

Leo should start a FF post for comments during WWDC for people @ WWDC to liveblog and others to chat. - Mister IQ

Lisa: Click on the entry timestamp once to get it by itself on a page, click on it again for a pop-out. - Ken Sheppardson

Leo your Twitter Calacanis.... [pic] Link leads to a File Not Found Error page - Erle Stride

correct me if wrong... but no one on the shows monitors this right? - Jay McCormack

Looks like Bing already lost its #2 spot to Yahoo: http://tcrn.ch/3K5 - Cory Roush

@ken thank you! - Lise

FriendFeed's a really slick way to live blog announcements. A room/group dedicated to WWDC would be slick - Ken Sheppardson

Leo does, not sure about the others - Hipp from IM

ken leo will be live streaming some sort of apple coverage tomorrow iirc (there should be a twit-conversation for it) - Chris Heath

IT DOES LEO: after a threshold, ads get thrown out of system - Mike Bracco

The creepy dancing Six Flags guy - Ken Sheppardson

Jason the digg blog that announced (http://blog.digg.com/?p=808) digg ads says "Conversely the more an ad is buried, the more the advertiser is charged, pricing it out of the system." - russtbarnacle

@Jesse, popout the twit.tv and put it next to your FF window - zephyrlily

zephyrlily I know how to do that - that's not what I was referring to. :-) - Jesse Stay

Jason is full of it, people will watch good ads... Superbowl anyone? - Roy Pledge

@jesse I'm sure when (if?) Wave comes out, Leo will do that. - Vlad Bobleanta

Bing takes over Yahoo, wihtout much effort. all advertising - Chris Miller

hehe - Roberto Bonini

yo friendfeed peeps - ralphsaunders

I am really surprised how good Bing is - Michael Mowery

These new ads on Digg are going to be annoying because Adblock won't be able to block them. - 321

What up Ralphy! - Hipp from IM

I use Bing to find blog images now - Jesse Stay

the map thing for bing is really hard to use - ralphsaunders

hi hipp :D - ralphsaunders

321, but they'll be just like another digg post and non-instrusive - Chris Heath

I been using Bing and its not bad - Kim Landwehr

I don't think Bing is doing well regionally beyond the US. i can't get the map stuff to work in Australia. - Jay McCormack

But Google Is Better And I Don't Like Going To Any Microsoft Site - nanochrome

Bing 's reign as Number 2 search engine ends after one day - @TechCrunch - http://bit.ly/sEHTW - Todd

bing = because it's not google or bing is not google - Holger Eilhard

Even if BING is great, what is the compelling reason to use anything other than Google which IS great and I am really comfortable with already? - Joel Asaro

I'm very impressed with Bing. I haven't used Google since Bing come out. - Joseph Ferris

Joel: Agreed... there's just not enough to move accross to it - Jay McCormack

That's the problem it good but there is nothing about Bing that makes people want to use it over Google - Kim Landwehr

The video preview is a thumbnail, how can Denise expect you to watch a video in a search result in total - Jay McCormack

Bing; how about not showing previews of short videos. problem solved - Roberto Bonini

True - nanochrome

how do they pull relevance - Chris Miller

Does bing do that for Youtube videos??? - Roberto Bonini

I Don't Think So - nanochrome

Bing beats out Yahoo, cuz it's the only pre-installed search on the new Explorer!! - Alex

well then mission accomplished - Lise

http://www.instantrimshot.com - Ken Sheppardson

This is the same issue over and over again. It's not the technology's responsibility to not watch inappropriate content (porn or violence or whatever). It's the parent's responsibility to instill the right values in the child. - Jay McCormack

And now we all know... - Jesse Stay

See! Leo has done a good job educating his kids to look at the right stuff - Jay McCormack

Where is everyone going for WWDC coverage? - Mister IQ

is WWDC going to be streamed, or will it only be for download after the fact - Matthew

@Chris That's true, but I would personally rather just see user-generated content without the advertising. At least Digg is doing it much better, as long as they clearly disclose what is advertisement, than banner ads and popups. - 321

Bing video search does show youtube videos - Kim Landwehr

@Master IQ: I'll be following MacRumors - nick

Poorngle - zephyrlily

Permitted content is tolerated different in each counrtry I visit fow work. makes intresting browsing - Chris Miller

Matthew: Only for download, unfortunatly. - Mister IQ

MacRumors... Assuming the feed doesn't egt hacked again - Roy Pledge

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1... - Adrian

they said it wa pulled and settled with the donatio. HE made no statement boutactually using twitter and actually RUNNINg his account - Chris Miller

Exactly - that case has already been lost in court. Tony needs a better lawyer. - Jesse Stay

Twitter starts verified accounts soon, problem solved. - Jay McCormack

actually it wasnt lost. Twitter didnt say "guilty" but settled already - Chris Miller

did Jason just screw up? - Jay McCormack

Quick MG! Word's out.. - Jesse Stay

Ooops Jason? LOL! - John

Twitter is the banker, and gets a cut: business model - Greg Byrne

Would that be a Fail Safe? - Hipp from IM

ha - Chris Miller

Hard work... it's taken PayPal years to get it right - Jay McCormack

Exactly when did PayPal get it right? - Roy Pledge

LOL @ clinton and cigar. Did anyone get that? - Lise

Would be nice if they bring back their old features they took away because their infrastructure couldn't handle them before they try to add new ones. - Ken Sheppardson

Of the many payment options, it's easy, it works, it's international, it might be expensive, but it does work. - Jay McCormack

he didnt make any intention to even use or expand no the account, he just wanted it down - Chris Miller

yeah ken, but you and i know that's not a technical problem - Chris Heath

@Lise: I laughed, but then felt guilty because no one seemed to find it funny :P - Cory Roush

Have you ever tried to contact Twitter support? - Jesse Stay

@Ken I agree. I'm still upset about this whole @ reply feature - Lise

You have to have TechCrunch to write about it for them to listen that you are being impersonated. - Jesse Stay

@Cory I don't think anyone got it. lol - Lise

@Jesse: Yes, and it was one of the most frustrating processes I've ever went through. - Cory Roush

Facebook is the same - Jesse Stay

Bing is no longer the #2 search engine. http://www.techcrunch.com/2009... - Mister IQ

Couldn't Open ID help that? - Brian Allen

Didn't myspace have a process for this also? - Jay McCormack

so registering TherealLeo (like Dvorak did) makes it legit? hang on.. ok kidding - Chris Miller

We got our twitter account back, /sixflags - sean andersen

Today I was followed by a fake Paul Thurrott. Where is the "Report" button? - Greg Byrne

Bill Gates did talk about this at D5 tho, people forget - Jackson Pollock

Natal can recognize 48 points of motion compared to the PS3's 2, plus you know Natal will work with Windows 7 - Matthew

Natal combined with the new controller Sony showed would be pretty slick. - Ken Sheppardson

Felicia Day looks good with anything! :-P - Hipp from IM

watch the Bill Gates and Steve Jobs interview from D5. Bill talked about it and was laughed out because people thought he meant the Wii interface - Jackson Pollock

Shane Kim said that releasing Natal in the spring would be "aggressive". So they still have a year or more to work on it. - Matthew

no, the eyetoy is not the same as Natal - Matthew

Using the newer tech like this in an arcade environment with a wrap-around screen would be interesting - Ken Sheppardson

That new PS3 controller demo Sony did was sweet! - Scott Hubble

here's a video of the company MS acquired to work on Project Natal..... http://gear.ign.com/dor... - Matthew

How long after release will it take for some Sicko to make Milo Naked - Erle Stride

it's a video of their Z-Cam - Matthew

The press has completely missed the navigation piece of Natal...did you see the minority report style menu conteol and the voice control of teh video playback? - Rob

Wii's just integrating acceleration to get position. The Sony controller actually measures the position of the controller, doesn't it? - Ken Sheppardson

I want 3D games with those controllers - Jesse Stay

MS will put Natal on Windows as well, so Minority Report type interface is possible when this comes out - Matthew

You know what drives me mad! "Fall 09" as a release date. Just watched the scribblenauts video, says available Fall 09. 1: Fall = Autumn for me, 2: When is Autumn? Each hemisphere has autumn at different times of the year! Argghhhhh! - Jay McCormack

Leo, the newest dashboard for the Xbox (NXE) lets you install your games to the hard drive, and it barely makes a sound. The fans don't make that much noise, it's the DVD drive that makes all the sound due to wanting short load times - Matthew

The streaming HD on the TiVo Netflix interface is beautiful! - Aaron T. Harvey

You know, you guys were nagging Apple like this last year. You wanted 3G, you wanted GPS bla bla. Now you're poo-pooing GPS and saying that there is zero coverage of 3G in the US.

Someone at LeWeb told me he thought bloggers on FriendFeed sucked and that TechMeme is where to get tech news. Discuss:

maybe he is just listening to the wrong people. - Rob Diana

I told him that he's missing what's really going on in FriendFeed and is only paying attention to noisy Twitterers. - Robert Scoble

I think the guy whoever he is needs to explore more than techmeme. not saying FF is the best, but there's more on the net than techmeme. geeze :P - Terry O'Fee

meh - techmeme is useless to me - mike "glemak" dunn

let him does... what's his point? - Pico Seno

I call BS on that!! I subscribe to LOTs of bloggers here and they're great... - Susan Beebe

I take it he was a info-snob...If it doesn't look like a table of pure news it's not valuable... Anyway, Techmeme may give you data, but FriendFeed gives you context :) - Johnny Worthington

Agree on the Twitter comment. I removed my twitter feed from my FF a while back - I think it makes my FF much more useful and readable. Now I post *to* Twitter from FF, which I feel allows the conversation to flow more smoothly. - Carlos Granier-Phelps

FriendFeed is just like Twitter. It's all about WHO you follow / read. I do like Techmeme too tho. - Bruce Wagner

Can ONE source (techmeme) overpower THOUSANDS of sources deployed worldwide? NOT. The new media, including CNN, Fox, Yahoo etc. have already created special mailbox addresses for "tidbits from the masses" because they all figured out the best info comes from the ground and not from editorial rooms. - Nir Ben Yona from twhirl

Pico: his point was that the stuff he reads on FriendFeed is pablum and not authoritative where a much higher percentage of stuff he sees on TechMeme is much better sourced and reported and all that. Can't say I don't disagree, if you look at it that way. FriendFeed is interesting because it's flatter and smaller voices are not locked out. - Robert Scoble

On FriendFeed, you pick your sources; on TechMeme, sources pick you! </Yakov Smirnoff> - Doug Haslam from twhirl

Carlos: I wish people didn't do that. The reader can remove Twitter from the view. The writer should aggregate all their stuff in here. - Robert Scoble

Robert: I see your point, but I find myself using FF a lot more nowadays and didn't see the real value of "littering" my FF stream with some of my more informal conversations on Twitter. - Carlos Granier-Phelps

Why does it have to be either/or? I use them both, and sometimes neither. But friends provide the real discovery for me. I follow thinkers - Francine Hardaway

I agree... KEEP your TWITTER feed on FF, we can filter out noise with FF perfectly fine - Susan Beebe

Carlos: the informal conversations are often the most important. Don't remove them. - Robert Scoble

Friend Feed is much more than just Tech things, MUCH MORE!! It is like comparing E! News with Facebook... - Diego Planas Rego

that's how you learn what works, as opposed to what's really happening. From informal convos' - Francine Hardaway from IM

FF is just community linking. techmeme thinks they're more professional. egos versus the many. is FF anymore important than the other? probably not, but its good to discover other websites... - Terry O'Fee

I completely disagree #1 Source for news is socialmedian, hands down #2 friendfeed, #3 twitter. No Rank Techmeme is slow like AllTops and I rarely go there unless I see something in their rss feed that I missed elsewhere. I didn't mention Google Reader, because it's a given. I use it all day, and it's an indispensably tool! - Michael Fidler

Susan, Robert: Ok... I'll give that another try and see how it goes. Don't say I didn't warn you, though - ;-) - Carlos Granier-Phelps

I think if this guy wants to keep things simple, TM could work out better for him. FF does have both startup and maintenance costs related strictly to "news getting." - David Wynn

But what about the busy news reader who only wants the news, and not the noise? I can see where TechMeme would have its place by ranking the best bloggers' news and removing any Twitter or FriendFeed participant noise, right? Weird that no one is sticking up for TechMeme. I guess I'll have to write a post about it to get the TechMemers to come here and support that site. - Robert Scoble

How do you add twitter BACK to FF? hahah - Terry O'Fee

I get more news from here than there but I don't follow the miniscule end of the tech news scope anyway. Nothing facebook does or any xyz start up really has anything to do with where i work in the biz, though, so i could just have different needs. - Patricia

in Italy T and FF are used as very personal, emotional tools - like super-sms for friends, say. so a news, in that contest, is a disturb. very rare good sources from there. TM has the old, good role of selection: no "goin dinner with..." stories, thnx. so I use TM for information and T + FF (italian networks) mostly for fun or confrontation. different in intl: people I follow from abroad mix more info and fun - if content is made by people, tools are contexts, so it depends :) - Alberto D'Ottavi

If you are a blogger, would you rather be on FriendFeed or TechMeme? Me? I'd rather be on FriendFeed and that shocked this gentleman. He thought I'd rather be on TechMeme since that's where he thought all authoritative and credible bloggers would want to be. - Robert Scoble

I wonder what http://friendfeed.com/gaberiv... Gabe Rivera thinks about this. He runs TechMeme. - Robert Scoble

FF is better personally. Techmeme often shows up here and I get other sources from people who might not be as slanted as some of those on techmeme. - InPerpetualMotion(Gina k)

someone told me that too... (probably the same someone) - Orli Yakuel

Interesting to use Compete to compare TechMeme to FriendFeed to TechCrunch. All three are down in past month, but FriendFeed is up this year while TechMeme is flat. http://siteanalytics.compete.com/friendf... - Robert Scoble

always seemed to me that techmeme was a walled garden that aggregates a subset of sources which occurs via an editorial process followed by light weight automation - thus limited and elitist vs friendfeed which is presence aggregation via automation followed by a broad community of contributors who create context and extend the original concepts - thus unlimited, open to all and highly preferred :) - mike "glemak" dunn

Two completely different products. Gabe's recent introduction of 'human' intervention rather than total automation should improve TechMeMe somewhat. It's a good quick take. Friendfeed can literally be almost anything you want it to with the growing set of included tools, making it appeal to a much wider audience. - Charlie Anzman

"I wonder what Gabe Rivera thinks"... He probably thinks "I haven't been to FriendFeed since August!" judging by his discussion page (http://friendfeed.com/gaberiv...). - Daniel J. Pritchett

Techmeme vs. Friendfeed? A curious dichotomy. I use Google Reader to track the following feeds collectively for tech news: Alt Search Engines, CNET News, Engadget, KurzweilAI.net, Lifehacker, New York Times: Science, New York Times: Technology, O'Reilly Radar, ScienceDaily Headlines, Silicon Valley Insider, Slashdot, Techmeme, Technology Review, TeleRead, Wired News, Yahoo! News: Technology News. To be honest, this GR folder provides me with significantly higher grade information than Friendfeed. - Sean McBride

Per se it does, but you only get 2 aspects, the writers and yours. With FriendFeed you get X persons view on each piece of news. - Linus

The thing is, one has to prioritize. At any given time there are a few dozen people on the planet whose minds are on fire and who really understand what is going on with the most strategic trends in technology (and all other fields). One mustn't be distracted by noise. Gadget groupies are followers, not leaders. - Sean McBride

I haven't been to Techmeme in months... or TechCrunch for that matter.. between FriendFeed, Twitter, Socialmedian and my RSS feeds, I usually get the news I want when I want. Let him continue to use Techmeme, I'm sure the world will continue to spin - Bwana ☠

Discuss this without using profanity? can't be done. - Chris Baskind

Ouch… haven't really read Techmeme almost at all but have to say that they certainly should update their layout to this century. Having features or huge amount of content don't mean much if it's painful for eyes to read. - Daniel Schildt

I like both services. For a pure couple times a day snapshot of all Tech News I think Techmeme is better. For breaking news first I think FF is better. FF is much more than Tech news though and I like that. - Thomas Hawk

TechMeme is nice, but their life span is being reduced. We are using FF as a transport service and doing some text mining ourselves. - Sebastian Wain
