Sustain of Competition - Acharad Sami vanJoulee

Wow. - Todd Hoff

Well M. -- the Anti-Clique it does imply your soul purpose in life is to become a production cog in a great machine. That's worth protesting don't you think? - Todd Hoff

And what about, 'When you feel drowsy, a competitor may have drugged you.' - Micah Wittman

That's gotta be a joke, no? - Joel Webber

Why is it in English though? - ronin

Or "When you feel drowsy Freddy is waiting in the dark"? - ‘-.-’ Tutivillus Grift

The best part is that the Korean says "Sleepiness Prohibited". - Darren

I actually meant that I was picturing American parents protesting that this was pitting students against each other. But yes, in the fight-the-man feeling, it does seem like a noble cause to protest about - Itachi

yes , just shows that Teachers don't take crap from kids in Asian Countries !!.. and I might as well add their Governments too !! - Peter Dawson

WOW, no pressure, right? Sobering message for young minds - Susan Beebe

Given the national scores and drop out rates, I think American kids could use some pressure, something to remind them that they are in fact, competing in the global market, whether they like it or not. - Ray Cromwell

I think I also need one of this to put on my desk - Ozkan Altuner

The first and only FriendFeed wedding! - Sheila Taylor

There have been other FriendFeed weddings, but no double-FriendFeed weddings! And yup, this'll be the last one (unless Prop 8 falls and there are a couple other big surprises!). - Kevin Fox

Kevin wins the thread. :) - Louis Gray

Congratulations, Casey and Ana. - Roshni

i wonder how he carries it all back - bob

"and he gives thanks for the life he has taken so that he may sustain the lives of his family waiting for him back in their settlement" - April Buchheit

waiting for him but not coming to help carry it back... - bob

The music reminded me of Battlestar Galactica. - Robert Felty

that's awesome. bipeds ftw! - Darren

there is a nice book called "The Tracker" - Robert Higgins

Looks like a bloody hard way to make a living to me. - Bill Hooker

She's like a foreign Ze Frank. Awesome. - Kevin Fox

Love her accent. - Stephen Mack

You know you've made it when they make a Downfall parody about you. :-) - Kevin Fox

So brilliant. - anna sauce

This was pretty much the most awesome video I've ever seen on the internet :) - Ana

Great work, Mark :) - Ahsan Ali aka. Slick

Absolutely awesome! - Shannon Jiménez

awww! that is the cutest thing ever! LMAO!! @ "Mamotteagerukara" :D - vijay

Wow, super cute. And Jess, you're nuts, but I admire that. ( http://www.salon.com/mwt... ) - Andrew C

Although, there was that ill-conceived reality show "Kid Nation" a couple of years back... - Andrew C

This show always makes me sad that our kids will grow up in a less safe & pedestrian-y city. - Richard Chen

So why do these poor kids have to go to three separate grocers for potatoes, kiwis, and celery? - Andrew C

That is the cutest thing ever. I never imagined I'd spend 20 minutes watching kids buy groceries. - Darren

This is nothing like Kid Nation! These kids are just buying groceries at the neighborhood store, which is totally harmless, plus they have the camera crew there to make sure they don't get hurt. The 2 year old sister is so adorable! I love how she says she'll protect her older brother when he starts crying and how she carries the grocery bag for him. - Jess Lee

that's awesome! do you brush it too? or just do lines? - Alfredo

I did light rubbing with my finger here and there, but mostly lines. - Chieze Okoye

i mean coloring it with photoshop - Alfredo

oh, nope. I only adjusted levels in Photoshop once I scanned to improve contrast. - Chieze Okoye

ok wow. - vijay

wow! - Jacob

That's great. - Steve C

badass - Derrick

It's great! - Zulema ◕ ◡ ◕

<3 - Shevonne

Should the sword holder show up behind him? Or am I getting the angle wrong in my head? I do taht sometimes :P - Zulema ◕ ◡ ◕

zulema i think those are nunchucks and there is no sword holder - Alfredo

Ah, that makes more sense! Thanks :P - Zulema ◕ ◡ ◕ from IM

thanks for the comments, guys - Chieze Okoye

Wow..nice - Rahsheen ™, Coach Rah

Ahhhh safe, familiar Beta. - EricaJoy

im using back to beta :) - Georges Harik

I'm back too :) - Kaspar Minosiants

Congrats! Who would have thought hide-able labels and drag-and-drop would be the features to bring Gmail out of beta? ;-) - Kevin Fox

Kevin LOL - Susan Beebe

Okay, the comment on the page was way off. It's only $19.70. - Darren

Actually, no, it really is about $118 for 6 of them. - Darren

Awesome!! - Rachel Lea Fox

Watching TV on friendfeed....how cool! - Craig Shipp

The three guys at the end are the best. One even has guns tattooed on his "guns". So clever. - Paul Buchheit

She was drinking iced tea. I speculate there was a "Long Island Iced Tea" joke that got cut. - Misha Dynin

Yeah, that was absolutely a Long Island Iced Tea. - Darren

"We're seeing the best and brightest leave Long Island." ... "It's all relative though. I mean, you are talking about the best and brightest of... Long Island." - Ana

a melting pot of marinara sauce! - michael sean wright

Hey that's my home!!! You got a problem with that? - Steve Rubel

Haha, Samantha Bee FTW. Also, this reminds of this: http://www.youtube.com/watch... - Rebecca Sun

Want. - Joel Webber

i need to wear this to remind me of my own insignificance - Cee Bee

good. and maybe our g.o.v. also agree of this, so they just blocked the Twitter site. - yagami

Pretty funny! And in most cases, pretty true. - Colleen O'Donnell Pierce

I want a shirt that asks "if your followers are so loyal why don't you leave twitter?" - Noah David Simon

Gotta tweet this :) - Stephanie Segel

Two things strike me as amusing about this. 1) The fact that so many of us liked this entry (and, by extension, undoubtedly like the shirt). 2) The probability that many of us actually still use Twitter, conscious of the fact that practically no one really cares what we tweet :D - Adam Lasnik

is this a twit this shirt? - Andy from twhirl

it could've been funnier if there was an another line of text => 'about 1 minute ago from txt in reply to @aplusk' - Ozan Caglargil

Hi Jess, thank you for spreading the word about my cheeky t-shirt design ! If you'd like me to send you one just message me ! - Tweet Tees

WANT. - John (a.k.a. dendroica)

+10 Ozan!!! - guruvan (Rob Nelson) from PeopleBrowsr

BT也关注天安门事件？没必要，做好ff就OK了 - 阿石

Finally, I've known why everything is hardly accessible these days. Well done, GFW guardians! - Juvenn Woo from fftogo

The photos of the candlelight vigil in Hong Kong are beautiful. I hope Hong Kong can lead the way for more freedoms in the rest of China. - Jess Lee

@suso 为什么不能都做？bret很厉害。。。 - Darren

@jessica I don't think it would be in a couple of years. But I wish. - Juvenn Woo

Dude straight up gives me the creeps these days. Not sure why. Hot as hell, but creepy. (I think American Psycho did it for me) - tinypants - Hagitha of FF

I'm not a fan of Bale, Ginger. not sure if this interview would change my mind. - jbrotherlove

hmmm. i found it rather fascinating. - Ňicķ

I told someone the other day that I thought American Psycho was really funny and they looked at me like I was crazy. How do people not get that it is a comedy? - Chip Ramsey

+1 Chip. I don't see how people could not get that. It's dark as hell, but a comedy nonetheless. I actually really liked it. - Joel Webber

i can't help but laugh as bale's character goes on and on about phil collins and genesis... classic stuff - Chris Heath

I thought American Psycho was completely funny, in a disturbing way even. It's just that Patrick Bateman has totally stuck in my head as Christian Bale's alter-ego. Even going back and watching him in like Little Women, it's hard to not imagine him being a complete nutter. :) - tinypants - Hagitha of FF

Don't hang your head! He's totally hot. :) I had a dream about him once though where he was exactly like Patrick Bateman and he had me working for him as like a house servant or something, and he made me help him kill Ryan Gosling in the backyard with a hammer. It was awful. *shivers* - tinypants - Hagitha of FF

Thanks for sharing this - brilliant. I just sent it to the board of my kids' high school. - Leo Laporte

Here is a MUST SEE TED talk that is only 5 minutes long. Why US media is dropping the ball. EYE OPENING http://www.ted.com/index... - Mike Bracco

wow. tx for sharing this Paul - Peter du Toit (S.Africa)

I met Ken Robinson while working at Microsoft and the dude was inspiring to hear speak. One thing that's cool about having kids is to see how they learn: my son learns by trial and error. He tries things hundreds, if not thousands, of times before he figures out what makes them tick. We give them permission to learn that way because they are babies. Too bad we stop being able to learn that way when we're older. - Robert Scoble

Are you kidding. I've got my I was wrong speech prepared and in my suit jacket pocket at all times =) - Micah Wittman

that was great. - Laura Norvig

Paul, wouldn't it be a good time to consider embedding TED's videos? ;-)) - ianf ⌘

Really, Zee? You are not prepared to be wrong [5:44 into Robinson's talk], as this proves <http://ff.im/3dtfY> - ianf ⌘

I try hard to be open to being wrong. I don't always manage it but at least I give it a hellva try - Steven Hodson

Being prepared to be wrong implies being prepared to admit it publicly, and without prompts. This is a TALL order for most humanity... - ianf ⌘

A ted classic. I never get tired of Sir Ken's talk. I have walked in godknows how many times. Always use it whenever I introduce a newbie to Ted.com - Edward Harran

Interesting talk. I feel like I've been living in a hole (actually, have just been living in Japan!) but what's TED? I'm sure I'll get the idea if I browse around the site but it's interesting to ask here on FriendFeed. - Rick Cogley

TED is great. - james

Wow--good shit! The bit about Will Shakespeare had me in tears. - thepete

Will S. would have instantly choked on a piece of medium-rare mutton had he heard you refer to him as "Will." - ianf ⌘

This was one of the first TED talks to be published online with help from Google, something like 2 or 3 years ago. I remember it vividly, since I totally and absolutely agree with what Ken Robinson has to say. Remains one of my favorite talks. Ever ;) - Mustafa K. Isik

OMG!! This just made the night for me! LOL Mind if I re-share? - Carlton Hackett

o_O - Alix Whitmire

what's this ? - 鸿蒙

well that would have been a shock eh lol - eric

fucking hell - Caroline

Get more icecream! - Jacob

"I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the darkness at Tannhauser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain…. Time to die." - Jim Norris

I don't like it when food threatens me. Or the invisible iguana under my bed. He's a real bastard. - Roger Benningfield

HELP! I'm trapped in a popsicle stick factory. - DGentry

I've seen this movie, and Bruce Willis is standing behind you with a lethal bombpop. - Peggy Gartin

Peggy, that is hilarious! - Jacob

Congrats to Darren & the GMail team! This is so awesome. - Jess Lee

Thanks, Jess! - Darren

So are we on for hiking? - Jim Norris

Well, I hope the mayor was a she! http://www.ci.mtnview.ca.us/city_co... - Roshan Vyas

Kevin, what world do you live in where fake mayors hand out chocolate keys to cities? LOL - Admiral Anika

Kevin voted for Mayor McCheese. - Stephen Mack

I didn't even know MV had its own mayor. - Andrew C

Did you eat it? The chocolate i mean. - Steve C

Does this mean I have to change my locks? - Jim Norris

Wow, that is really cool!! - Bindu Reddy

Jim, if your locks are made of peanut butter, you should leave them as is. - Stephen Mack

I don't know that I've ever lived anywhere where mayors give out chocolate keys to the city. - Kevin Fox

Hopefully the Polyvore peeps took detailed photos of the key so they can make a duplicate. (Here's a link to a high tech version of that concept: http://boingboing.net/2008... ) - Andrew C

Can you use the chocolate key to get free lunch at Google? - Cristo

Yes. Give me the key and I will take you to lunch. ;-) - Daniel Dulitz

The mayor has been going around visiting local businesses, including several startups located in the downtown Mountain View area. So far she's stopped by Polyvore, Ooyala, Ribbit, and TrialPay. We told her to check out FriendFeed too! We mentioned how the FriendFeed team incubated us and lent us office space, and how we're paying it forward by incubating another startup and giving them office space, and the end result is that all 3 companies are staying in Mountain View, which is good for the city. - Jess Lee

thats awesome - goutham

whoa, that's huge. how was it? - j1m

I had no idea startups were being so altruistic, helping younger startups get started. - DGentry

That's awesome and even cooler that you mentioned FF and paying it forward. - Violet Mae Lim

Maybe incubating is too strong a word. Really we're just giving them free office space. The company is ValueWeekly.com and it was founded by 3 ex-Yahoos, Jasper Malcolmson, Ashish Baldua and Nimit Maru. - Jess Lee

Also, I should clarify that receiving a chocolate key is not that big of a deal. She actually gave us 7 of them (one for each person on the team) and I'm sure she gave them to all the other companies she visited too. So she is basically giving them out left & right. Also, the keys don't open anything, unless there is a chocolate lock or safe somewhere that I'm unaware of. - Jess Lee

I never thought I'd see the terms Dilbert and NSFW in the same sentence. - Gregg Scott

How is that NSFW? It's not like Dilbert has a stiffy or anything. - Keith Pelczarski

I was wondering why bolztmann brain hypothesis was suddenly getting queries: http://www.google.com/trends... - Amit Patel

haha i just did that mistake. accidentally send an email. ah i wish i had that feature 1 hour ago! - Eren Emre Kanal

That's a BIG Feature! - directeur

Sanjeev will finally be happy! - Bay Chang

Yes I am! - Private Sanjeev

I could have used this a few times when I was working at the G!;-) - John Piscitello

this is awesome ... at this point everyone should be using gmail! - Jay

@Paul Thanks for your original blog post on undo -- It came at a time I was trying to convince some that a 5 second delay would bring way more value than it would harm. It was nice to be able to say, "Well, Paul thinks so." - Michael Leggett

i just used this for the first time a little bit ago. it was awesome! - Dustin

It's very cool. I just used undo on a message I sent in 2002 and now I have my old job back. Thanks gmail! :-) - Kelly Norton

@Kelly Undo Send only let's you undo for 5-10 sec after you send the message. What you want is our Custom Time feature - http://mail.google.com/mail... :) - Michael Leggett

@Michael :) - minus-one

You could always use http://www.deferredsender.com if you want a time window of more than 5-10s - Deepak Jois

I've been waiting for this for a long time. - Benjamin Golub

@Michael Leggett Unfortunately, that won't work either. It will only undo as far back as April 1, 2004! - Anne Bouey
