The new Xbox experience rocks, by the way. - Robert Scoble
It does rock ... but you can't do much with your character as of yet. It would be cool to interact with other characters. - Brandon
We are watching a movie on Playstation now. My Xbox fans are so loud I never like using it. - Robert Scoble

I don't understand a thing in this game. Patrick has played a TON and is pretty good. We should match them up! - Robert Scoble
This Qik was done on my iPhone. I hope Apple approves that but Patrick doesn't think that will happen. - Robert Scoble
Is that the only game he plays? If so, that's too bad. There are so many good console games out right now. - Ryan
He plays lots of games on xbox and playstation but keeps going back to WoW. - Robert Scoble

"Sporting his trademark purple velvet smoking jacket and pipe, the smiling Zuckerman stressed that there were 'no hard feelings' about the incident and joked that Kissinger was welcome back to his regular guest room at the mansion anytime, 'as long as the old boy can keep it in his pants next time.'" - Anthony Citrano

"Actually Tom I’m able to get 200 miles on a charge fairly easily with my Tesla Roadster. My commute is five miles a day, and with another trip or two thrown in a day (i.e. lunch,dinner, meeting, movie, whatever) that means I can charge it every 4-5 days. I just had my charger put in yesterday and with the low speed charger it takes 6-8 hours for a full charge and with high-speed charger it takes 3-4 hours. I actually think I’ll never have to buy/drive another car since I only do two or three road trips a year (i.e. San Diego), and when I do I can us my old Mini Cooper. 95% of folks drive less than 100 miles a day… so the Tesla 2.0 at 60k and 3.0 at 30k would do the trick. Additionally, battery life is getting better and better, so my guess is they will be able to get the range from 220+ to 350-400+ in two years. When the car gets to 400 miles a charge and under 50k then it really starts to make sense because the gas savings of 2-3k a year pays for the additional 15k of the car (or..." - Jason Calacanis
You were just saying the other day that Congress should give money to Tesla instead of the Big 3. Did you put them up to this? More importantly, does Tesla really need a bailout? How are they doing? And if they went out of business, it would have minimal impact on most people. - Richard Klein via twhirl
Day wouldn't be complete without a Jason/Tesla posting - Fleagle
200 miles on a charge is pretty good already for a car you use daily. I wonder if they can make cars for harder climates like Northern Europe. We have snow here already so the current model might actually have trouble over here in the winter. I postponed buying a new car as I hope that within 2 years there would be more hybrid/electric alternatives in the market. Only option currently is the Toyota Prius. I am not a big fan of that car. - Davide D'Incau
Yeah, bring on a version designed for harder climates, at 50k-60k and I'm there.! - Juho Tunkelo
Detroit has a myopic vision of how the auto industry needs to work. Think about how much this influences daily life from regulations and taxes on gas, to the size of road and amount of pavement in the country. Detroit still has big guns, and they effect everything. For change to really happen, as much as it hurts they need to die. This is about much more than cars. - Greg Birch
Oh boy, more Tesla. - Fleagle
The latest episode of the NPR technology podcast talks about Tesla and interviews the CEO. - Tokyo Dan
Shouldn't ALL automakers get a piece of the bailout fund? Otherwise it's an illegal and unfair advantage to those receiving it, no? (I'm against any kind of bailout at this point... anyway) - Carlos Granier-Phelps
I'd love to be a Tesla dealership in Tokyo. Could sell a million of them here. Lots of rich geeks here who love cool cars. - Tokyo Dan
@Carlos: This is exactly why I'm against the auto bailout. Toyota, Honda, and other foreign car manufacturers are suffering under the economic meltdown as well, but they're not in trouble because they have solid business practices. So I think bailing out GM or all of the Big Three is ridiculous. They have cars no one wants to buy, and awful business practices that got them into this mess. Any other company would either go bankrupt or out of business. I don't think the Big Three are special cases. - Cheryl Jones
@Calacanis - what do you think of Better Place / Shai Agassi - "We buy batteries and clean electricity and we sell miles" re: http://ff.im/65yB - SnakeDoc
I want what no is making: an electric car I can afford. - Charles LePage

"You read that correctly. Some of the same people who propelled us toward the housing market calamity are now seeking to profit by exploiting billions in federally insured mortgages. Washington, meanwhile, has vastly expanded the availability of such taxpayer-backed loans as part of the emergency campaign to rescue the country's swooning economy..."

“I'm sitting with Matt Mullenweg trying to convince him to join FriendFeed and put FriendFeed directly into my Wordpress.com blog (and vice versa). What do you think of that?”
8 hours ago - Link
it makes perfect sense to have friendfeed talk to wordpress. why not? i'd like to have friendfeed talk to drupal. - Lynne d Johnson
I don't know Mr. Mullenweg, but more Friendfeed is more bettah. - Occasional Headbanger
I think I like that. A lot. - AJ Kohn
why not? :) and meanwhile ask him please what michel v is becoming? :) - directeur
directeur: he doesn't know what michel v is doing other than being awesome. - Robert Scoble
at least get him to allow the ff plugin that shows ff discussion of a wordpress.com post - Christian Burns
Cool. and get him to let WP play nicely with javascript, too - Jim Jannotti
Hmm. As a widget (easy), or each post in friendfeed automatically becomes a blog post? What about there being two different comment systems? Would comments be duplicated to wordpress, or separately hosted and managed at friend feed? Sounds like an interesting conversation though. (edited) - Mason Lee
I think that is what is wrong with WordPress. Why can't you add your own badges/widgets? - Dave Hodson
Robert! Ah! thanks for asking him! Michel is in fact very awesome :) - directeur
actually the lack of javascript is one of the great things about wordpress.com no autoplaying music, no myspace style layouts, no blogspot gettos - Christian Burns
For the record. Hosted WP is *the best* out there. Flexible and with lots of great plug-ins. Thanks for a great product. - AJ Kohn
I think that's a great idea! Have him look at the tight integration that ReadWriteWeb has with FriendFeed.. that would be great to have on a default WordPress install, or even on wp.com - Phil Glockner
awwww helll yeah.... - Zee. Just Zee.
Okay, I'm on. - Matt Mullenweg
@Matt: Welcome! - AJ Kohn
Robert you are da man, I wanted to do this too! Thanks, Nicholas the video guy at BlogWorld Expo 2008 http://donotreadthisblogunless... - Nicholas Chase
Looks like that took all of 10 minutes, give or take. Welcome to the FF cult, Matt - Enrique Gutierrez via twhirl
Hi Matt :) - directeur
C'mon Matt. Do it. - Glenn Batuyong via twhirl
I am waiting for proof that its really matt - Christian Burns
Welcome, @Matt!! Thanks, @Robert, as always, for the primo hookups! :-D - ɐ ɯıʞ sıɹɥɔ
Welcome matt - Tejas Patel
Ok, now when can i except FF and Wordpress goodness? I smell an ultimate lifestream app in the works. - David Bisset
Wordpress, and Friendfeed: probably the two online apps I use more than anything else. At least several times a day for both. - Ian May
Do it Matt! - David Jacobs
By the way, Matt... find a way to get WordPress + FriendFeed as a native plugin. Will go a long way in the social media / blogging space... - Glenn Batuyong
There at least need to be a friendfeed gadget for blogs..i would put it on my blog if there were. - Samuel Lewis via twhirl
great idea, please make that happen for wp.com users, too! - Gaby Benkwitz ☼
I love the idea of a friendfeed widget... - Jean Ann Van Krevelen via twhirl
Welcome Matt! Please let me know if there's anything that we can do to help out WordPress. - Paul Buchheit
you heart that...? Lets get these two boys together! :) - Zee. Just Zee.
YES! Matt - make it so. - Hutch Carpenter

Ouch! - Katie
29% ? thats way weird - imran
oh wow, and this is basically a holiday weekend for many. ugh - Mary
The economy is touching lots of things. Ouch is right. - Robert Scoble
Well, yeah, but what's the room rate at the St. Regis? - Morton Fox
As a bar owner, this is a slow time for bars overall. Its just that time of year (gearing for holidays). BTW, Robert, we are having a YouTube Live meetup today @5pm at House Of Shields. If you come in shades (mimicking Tim Street of FrenchMaidTV, I will buy the first drink). All are welcome. (thought Id let you know since you are already drinking closeby:) - Schlomo Rabinowitz
I work at a hotel and demand/occupancy is decreasing. doesn't hurt the flights are being cut. We are down about 10% compared to last year. We are by LAX so our losses aren't as bad as some resorts/luxury properties. - Amani
Schlomo I will try to drop by. We are interviewing Mullenweg shortly. - Robert Scoble
Morton -- expensive enough to appeal to actual "wealthy" people. Not a good sign! - Richard Walker
<Spock> Actually, 29.532 percent. <raises eyebrow> </Spock> - Karim
Amani, that makes a lot of sense. The airport hotels should fare better. I used to work for the Airport Hilton and they were always fill - no downtime ever. - Melanie Reed

Stop The Housing Bailout!
10 hours ago - via Bookmarklet - Link
"[T]he inequities [of a bailout] smell to high heaven, and that is one of the huge problems in dealing with it. It runs against the streak of basic fairness in a lot of Americans. You’re going to provide a handout to the fool. The fool is going to be rewarded and I, the taxpayer, will be put at risk at the margin for that handout to the fool. When all I did was exactly what I was supposed to do. Where is the fairness here?" - Anthony Citrano
"A bailout creates perverse incentives. Rather than punishing their behavior, it encourages fiscal irresponsibility among bankers, mortgage brokers, speculators, and refinancers. These folks made money hand over fist in the past nine years (remember, homeborrowers who tapped their home equity received cash money to pay for Escalades, vacations, and stainless steel appliances; now they want you to pay for it!). Why change your behavior when you benefit from it?" - Anthony Citrano
