I'm surprised no one's noticed old boy's red-framed glasses.

It's just so refreshing to see genuine juvenile humour at work. These kids are no different from any other, I think it's a great happy image, given all the other shite happening in this world on a daily basis. For those that are too pompous and prudish, 'up yours with brass knobs'

This thread makes me want Friendfeed to have an option for large threads to load 10 of x comments, rather than load x more comments.

I definitely agree, Sparky, but I'd like both, "View x more comments - View last 10 comments" is what I'd love to see.

Perhaps have it show up just after the 'x more comments' if x > 25 or something.

the thing that strikes me about this (aside from the obvious) is after seeing this thing pop up like 35-40 times since March its just occurred to me that I don't have any (guy) friends that a) would lick my nipples b) would lick my nipples for a photograph. Maybe I should get out more...

For the life of me, I'll never understand the emotion people have around this picture for or against. There's no nudity at all, not even implied nudity. Less dude nudity than a beer commercial or cigarette ad, yet there are people who really really really hate this picture.

- Jordan Hofker
MOOBIES!!!! Wait wut was I doing?
- Jimminy
The bumping algorithm includes things like novel people posting to it, in addition to thread age, and rapidity of comments. If the same 3 people are talking in a thread, it quits bumping because it's obviously a closed tea party.
- Matthew DeVries
He said tea party.
- Mattb4rd

David, huh? Tell that to Rabbi Akiva (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki...) which is where the name comes from.
- Rochelle
Akiva's a boy! He's not a girl! He's a boy!

LMAO, I'm surprised, that David never this belief sooner here.
- Jimminy
Wishful thinking, perhaps.
- Akiva Moskovitz
Why are my private beach photos on Akiva's feed?
- Mike Nayyar
from iPhone
Mike, I think it's because Akiva felt like sharing a picture of the back of his head, like always.(guy on the far right)
- Jimminy
Totally can't be me, Jimminy. No kippah.
- Akiva Moskovitz
I forgot, also you're a very handsome guy(saw the wedding images), I don't understand why you don't like to share your face. Rochelle is a lucky lady.
- Jimminy
Jimminy, it's an irrational phobia. No different than people who are afraid of heights, spiders, clowns, or Canada.
- Akiva Moskovitz
Oh, and thanks! You sly dog, you!
- Akiva Moskovitz
I say again. WTH!
- Give 'Em DBizness
Akiva, now I'm LMAO at the fear of Canada. People are actually afraid of Canada, or just the fact they don't know if they're British or French?

Who here hasn't licked a asian nipple or 2?

This guy.
- Jordan Hofker
On Fark, there was this one thread, that just kept growing and growing. On Fark, it was a single page per thread. And you could post images and gif inline. Well the thread wouldn't die, people just kept posting. I forget which one it was. Anyway, it got so monsterous, that few people going to read/post to it per day (which was only a handfull) accounted for 1/3 of the server load of the site. They eventually had to cull that thread.
- Matthew DeVries
I think everyone who has participated in this thread has 'culled' themselves privately.

"With the list of products that have been produced and died from Google you would think that they would have collapsed under their own weight by now. The only thing that I can think of that is preventing it is that, unlike Microsoft which keeps their R hidden away in a completely different division, Google's R is the entire company and they have no fear about launching and failing."

It's also interesting in the context of the fact DirecTV viewers no longer get the Versus sports network, as they couldn't negoiate a deal with Comcast
- Ken Sheppardson

- Karoli
and Versus carries a lot of the niche or edge sporting events
- bear (aka Mike Taylor)
great point, Doc.
- Karoli
Comcast is very aggressive in keeping out local competitors - they have bought every local cable company or forced them out. They have locked out all local sporting events
- bear (aka Mike Taylor)
Yeah, here in San Francisco we couldn't get the Stanford/Cal game this fall... it was on Versus. And it means no daily, live Tour de France coverage next July :-(

It was "rooter" before people started to mispronounce it.

I wonder what this means for their TV On Demand section - currently NBC is not listed for any shows and CBS is very big in that list. Will this change and now NBC will only be On Demand? Will Hulu now be a Comcast Cable only site?

The Network has changed to the point that combining cable + tv production can't corner the market in anything.

you mean will the net be.. you know... neutral?

Google will spank properties that throttle - that alone will keep them playing fair.

All proprietary un-free software and platforms will lose in the long run.
- Gregg H.
Cliff, they already do. If I am watching a streaming video for more than 5 minutes I get traffic shaped. If i'm watching Comcast On Demand I do not. Will Hulu now be traffic shaped or will it get a pass? That what will be the clue if they are acting in a network neutral manner

Silverlight adjusts to the speed of the bandwidth...

- Chris Jackson
Francine - it is basically throttling of your bandwidth based on content and/or destination

I don't agree at all. This is nothing new and as soon as the pricing model for a vendor to sign up is revealed, i'm willing to bet they will be on par with other mobile CC processing companies. The only "new" thing is that they made the small plastic device that converts CC track data to an audio signal and created an iPhone app for it.

I don't see Square as being at all disruptive. It is, IMO, nothing but a shiny hipster packaging over top of what already exists - third party CC info clearing house. Nothing has been shown as to what the pricing model is for a vendor to use Square and i'm willing to bet that as soon as Square tries to make inroads into more than just Visa/Mastercard the price will go up and become comparable to Verisign or any of the other CC handling device companies.

To be clear, Twitter has made available a realtime replacement for the firehose (the replacement is called "birddog"). We have not yet started consuming that new API because we're waiting for the lawyers to come to agreement on the terms of use, which I hope will happen soon. I think Twitter's legal team is simply overbooked at the moment. Edit: To reiterate, Twitter is not blocking us. The reason we are not consuming the new API is because the fb lawyers want to review the updated terms first.
- Paul Buchheit
thanks for the update, Paul. Perhaps the open community can donate some lawyers to help Twitter out.
- Steve Gillmor
Paul - very interesting... saga continues :)
- Susan Beebe
lord knows we've got lots of lawyers...and I'm sure more than a few are unemployed right now. Perhaps one will step up.
- Karoli
Paul, do you know if any 3rd party has BirdDog implemented?
- Cliff Gerrish
wonder who will get BD up and running 1st...
- Susan Beebe
Cliff, "birddog" is just a category of statuses/filter, which is available publicly (see http://apiwiki.twitter.com/Streami...). I don't know if anyone is using the birddog role or not. It's available to us and ready to go, but fb lawyers want the tou resolved before we activate it.
- Paul Buchheit
Paul - "tou" typo for "TOS" (terms of service) right?
- Susan Beebe
Terms Of Use, Susan, but the two are about the same I think.
- Paul Buchheit
gotcha, thanks :)
- Susan Beebe
Thanks, Paul. And thanks for the pointer. The "available publicly" part is particularly interesting.
- Cliff Gerrish
Cliff - agreed

Cliff, it's possible that it has been added to TwitTornado: http://news.ycombinator.com/item...

Maybe I'm mis-parsing things, but it sounds like Twitter's just offering the updates of FriendFeed users rather than the complete Twitter firehose. (see http://friendfeed.com/evhead...) If that's the case, I'm a little confused about what's holding things up. I can see how resolving rights to third party tweets might be problematic, but if FriendFeed's only being fed updates "owned" by FriendFeed users, what's the hold up?
- Ken Sheppardson
What Twitter offers anyone who needs a lot of user updates (but they don't want to give the firehose) is a streaming feed that you send to it a list of userid's (with a max # per stream.) Then Twitter will send back all updates on that stream for any userid in the list. Not exactly the firehose but it is actually very useful for most client use-cases.
- bear (aka Mike Taylor)
Ken, that's right, it's just a different api. The holdup is due to the fact that the fb lawyers want to review the updated terms before we start using the new api.
- Paul Buchheit
So the 'internet' is now in the hands of lawyers, not engineers. We're doomed!
- zeroinfluencer
indeed we are
- Thomas Power
Is the BirdDog TOU publicly available to read? (nothing on the Tw Wiki http://apiwiki.twitter.com/Streami... )
- zeroinfluencer
The positive thing I get from this (be it wishful thinking) is that fb is dedicating resources to having this resolved. If FriendFeed is just a floundering fish out of water, waiting to die, why would they engage lawyers... Very interesting...
- Johnny Worthington
from iPhone
hear hear Johnny. Zucker is a serious player.
- Thomas Power
Johnny: Why dedicate resources? So Facebook can have the full stream too? If not now, then down the road as bits of Friendfeed appear on FB or in the dev platform?
- Amyloo
Either way, to me, dedicating resources = severs remaining on
- Johnny Worthington
from iPhone
Not to get all argumentative and start throwing around the D-word, Johnny, but Facebook would really need to address this independently of whether the FriendFeed servers stay on. As Amyloo mentioned, this is an issue if they ever intend to use the new Twitter API to feed Facebook proper.
- Ken Sheppardson
Fair enough :)

- Ken Sheppardson

- CW™
aah, the famous "must suck" clause.
- Aron Michalski
Ken, if Facebook doesn't have short-term plans to use birddog in their big product, it doesn't make a lot of sense to sic lawyers on the tou right now. Those terms can change. For them to invest resources *right now* on the issue makes me think they care about their little product.
- Bruce Lewis
On the flip side, Bruce, one might argue that if they really cared about it they would have dealt with it by now. I don't recall when the old Twitter -> FriendFeed link started to lag, but it's been more than three months since FriendFeed became part of Facebook.
- Ken Sheppardson
Do we agree that Facebook cares more about FriendFeed than the "FF is dead" crowd thinks, but cares less about FriendFeed than we die-hard fans would like it to? If I had my way they would start migrating their userbase over here as fast as the servers could take it.
- Bruce Lewis
Almost, Bruce, but while I've been talked back off the d-word ledge, I think Facebook cares much more about FriendFeed *technology* than the site as a destination. I'll believe they care about it as a stand-alone UX when I hear somebody at Facebook who wasn't a FF employee mention it by name in public. I won't go so far as to ask that they suggest people sign up for the service... just acknowledge that it continues to exist.

"Any issue of slowness is not necessarily because of the XMPP transport. Remember that you have two computationally intensive operations on either side of the XMPP transport and except for the initial document load, all that is being sent are diffs. Even the intial page load would only be a problem for very large waves and that can be solved within the XMPP framework by using the existing XEP for binary or OOB file transfers."

"Yes, no question at all that it's a lot of data being pumped over an HTTP-SSL pipe to the client but the way that Google implements that end is complete off of the XMPP transport. Right now, IMO, what your seeing is Googles Wave Document server trying to be both a Wave Document server and a front-end client service - not a good recipe for efficiency. With the testing i've done against the FedOne Wave server i'm seeing normal traffic patterns for XMPP with the wave protocol adding about 5-10% overhead depending on how many fancy wave embeds a wave document has but by far the majority of the traffic are character/blip diffs and XMPP only adds about 50-100 bytes extra (the stanza wrappers) and it's being shipped on an already open socket. That still doesn't imply that Wave as a protocol is going to be seriously hurting if someone edits/opens a Wave document with a lot of images or embeds or the other "fun" stuff people like to add :)"

"If the response or reply is within the Twitter ecosystem then isn't it a responsibility of Twitter to provide any mingling of the results into a stream? That's not to say it isn't a killer feature for a client to provide an activity stream relative to the actions of the user using that client, but I don't think the onus is entirely on Twitter (or Posturous or Tumblr or ...). Right now clients are having trouble providing activity streams IMO because of the nature of the silos they are drawing from - Facebook doesn't allow for storage of messages and I don't think Twitter does either. So any official stream by a client would have to quietly violate those rules and risk access to the stream of data they depend on."

I don't have an iphone. I don't have a cell phone. I do have a Jornada 548, though. You can think of that as an antique predecessor to the modern smart phone, without the phone capabilities...and no damn app store. I have a full sized keyboard that folds up really small for it, it has pretty good handwriting recognition software, plays mp3's, surfs the web, plays games, runs all kinds of software. My primary use for it is reading ebooks.

But I'm hopeful that it'll turn up somewhere that doesn't involve fruit. I also have a cellphone but I mostly use it as an alarm clock.

knol uses google profiles, just as other google apps do - profiles are a service for google apps
- Kevin Marks
They also need to come up with a way to integrate with client-side ID (information cards, selectors, etc)
- Jesse Stay
Jesse: I see you saw the light at the Kynetx conf... (from cookies to selectors)
- Cliff Gerrish
I think the launch Chrome netbooks will be free
- Jamie
Cliff, my eyes have seriously been opened - I am a new man now. I see a whole new future from that conference
- Jesse Stay
Although I'm still trying to understand it all. It's all still in progress as we speak.
- Jesse Stay
What I think we need is <input type="openid"> for HTML5 so browsers can do clientside ID
- Kevin Marks
Kevin, that would be awesome
- Jesse Stay
how long ago did it start?
- Christopher Harris
<input type="openid"> is the only way OpenID will succeed. It's not usable in its current state right now.
- Matt Mastracci
I don't want clientside, I want personal-cloud-side
- Kurtiss Hare
Matt, agreed
- Jesse Stay
Kurtiss, you need a combination of both - see http://staynalive.com/article...
- Jesse Stay
What people are wedded to is the development IDE - Nobody else has built anything near as compelling as Microsoft's IDE
- Rob La Gesse
html5 on the iphone is because of webkit
- bear (aka Mike Taylor)
Jesse: that's not "personal" cloud, at least the way I think about it.
- Kurtiss Hare
that was WPF
- Jamie
the seesmic for windows uses WPF
- bear (aka Mike Taylor)
Kurtiss what is "personal" cloud?
- Jesse Stay
I still haven't installed Silverlight/WPF on any of my machines and I haven't missed any content on the web.
- Matt Mastracci
WPF and Silverlight are converging as front-ends...
- Cliff Gerrish
I love the Netflix watch instantly -- it's silverlight...
- Cliff Gerrish
silverlight is still a subset of wpf
- Jamie
though the lines are blurring
- Jamie
It's a cloud that you own, that exposes "local services" like storage, identity selector config, computation, etc. to services you don't own
- Kurtiss Hare
Does this silverlight porting path just translate video, or the whole framework? If it's just video, it sounds like a WMV->MP4 codec.
- Matt Mastracci
I don't think stream of audio or video via silverlight to a webkit browser counts as a dev platform for iphone
- bear (aka Mike Taylor)
has anyone got documentation on sliverlight video playback on iPhone? I didn't see that demo
- Kevin Marks
Sharepoint 2010 supports silverlight
- Jamie
+1 bear.
- Matt Mastracci
Kurtiss - where do you own it? On Amazon? Who hosts that data? If someone else is hosting it do you really own it? The client is the best place for the user to own their data. That can be supported by a cloud service, but your client needs to control it.
- Jesse Stay
Kevin http://www.iis.net/iphone
- Jamie
Jesse: that part's up to you, it can run from your house if you're into that. otherwise it can run from your amazon or rackspace account, whatever.
- Kurtiss Hare
Kurtiss, the average user is never going to be able to do that. It has to be something native in the browser or the operating system for the user to get it.
- Jesse Stay
@Kurtiss - your Rackspace account :) Please me more ;)
- Rob La Gesse
lol
- Kurtiss Hare
Also, a cloud-based service can't provide near the context a desktop client can
- Jesse Stay
Internal enterprise apps are never a predictor of platforms that'll survive. I could list dozens of dead Microsoft products that were "hot" for a while until they were abandoned.
- Matt Mastracci
Jesse, for now, but when the broadband explosion comes....
- Stephen Pickering
Office for Web is .Net right?
- Paul Shadwell
Stephen, even then you're never going to have full control so long as you rely on the cloud for full context. See my article above.
- Jesse Stay
"turns out, microsoft developed the killer app for chrome os" - office web apps
- Jamie
enterprise == large user count behind a firewall with a private network
- bear (aka Mike Taylor)
Jesse: What's the difference between the way that Windows/Mac OS X exposes my local services and the way a "personal cloud"-based OS could? It's Chrome OS' destiny ;)
- Kurtiss Hare
I've just finished installing SharePoint 2010 and now installing the Office Web Apps so I'll let you know shortly.
- Paul Shadwell
Robert, make sure you get that enterprise lecture from Steve before going on about Chatter
- Ross Mayfield
if chrome os enables a personal VPN experience that I can then allow individuals to "peek into" that would be a huge win
- bear (aka Mike Taylor)
Kurtiss, a personal cloud is never going to know what you're doing on Barnes and Noble vs. Borders.com at the same time. Please read my article above.
- Jesse Stay
Paul: NO. Office for Web is ALL JavaScript.

"very loyal to office" == it's a huge pain and cost to translate all those proprietary docs to something else

Kevin, Jesse's talking Action Cards.

Kevin, I saw the demo but haven't the docs for it. Just passes the video off directly to the vid player on iPhone. Here is the demo URL http://www.iis.net/iphone
- Jerry Schuman
Robert: Do you think they did that for increased cross browser support?
- Paul Shadwell
many companies are just scared to move to the web It seems an insecure place to them and they take the IT guys (who get paid to manage Exchange) word for it. "You don't want to do that. It's insecure." Few CEOs outside our business will challenge talk like that.
- Matt Terenzio

Client wars have been going on for 2 decades.. it doesn't matter. You will have multiple native and web based clients from now until the cows come home.
- Jerry Schuman
warlords of tech, each guarding their own fiefdom.

The apathy of the user community regarding clients was evidenced by the failure of "Write Once, Run Everywhere"
- Jerry Schuman
it all boils down to Tower Defense!
- bear (aka Mike Taylor)
I think you just hit the nail on the head bear :-)
- Paul Shadwell
Robert it already exists.. DOM manipulations
- Jerry Schuman
Jerry: DOM Manipulations + Action Cards gets you there.
- Cliff Gerrish
the major change comes with context awareness. We're almost there.. very close in my estimation.
- Jerry Schuman
Jerry: Action Cards are all about contextual browsing.
- Cliff Gerrish
There are no generic enclosures is what I think Dave meant
- Matt Terenzio
meta data is data - it can be included with other meta data or consumed as is. what is key is removing the silo mentality -- open data api's to allow neutral use cases
- bear (aka Mike Taylor)
twitter has always been a feature to be included in other apps -- they *are* a pipe
- Karoli
yes, they have rolled out a number of new features but they still have fundamental stability issues when followers drop off your account, when api calls still return random errors and other quality of life issues
- bear (aka Mike Taylor)
btw: all those things you just mentioned extended Twitters discrete extensions of the backend. You're seeing twitter manipulate and compartmentalize their schema
- Jerry Schuman
bear, not only that, but they're anti-community. by sending that message, they tell me they intend to be a pipe for my data, not a host.
- Karoli
i've become so accustomed to their slowness of innovation, i certainly don't take the recently developed features for granted like I did when G or FF innovates...sad, really.
- Kurtiss Hare
still looking for those 'features'. closing conversations, making retweets a metric, and adding lists...?
- Karoli
While I might agree with ppl discounted MS I think discounting Ray Ozzie is a HUGE mistake. Especially if Ballmer gets forced out of MS.
