Honestly, who needs that kind of growth? - Steven Perez

There is a long thread here too: http://ff.im/53C52 - Kol Tregaskes

When I commute to work on the train, I cannot imagine, I mean the very idea is a great big lol, buying a big ass newspaper that's larger than the moon and reading the news. I get the netbook out, built in 3g card, boom. Soon I will replace that netbook with an Archos 9 - weights 800g. - Mark

Do you folks travel to work on train / bus and still read the big broadsheet papers? - Mark

If any of you folks were intrigued by the CrunchPad, go read about Archos 9. Half an inch thick, 800g, 9" touch screen, 160GB, Windows 7, Atom CPU. - Mark

Are FriendFeed's new Real Time updates too slow for you? Not enough past or present Twitter and Facebook updates to keep you amused? Are you sick of hearing what your friends are doing after the fact? - teh Dork Knight aka Kenny from Bookmarklet

Sorry for all the bumpage, people. I'm using "search" for the first time ever. - Mona Nomura

This one was quite helpful when I was in Iceland and couldn't find @ in the Icelandic keyboards - João Almeida

As the production line grinds to its own industrial beat, it's clear that music formats don't get any more physical than this. Downloads and iPods are all very well, but for many musicians, your latest song just hasn't been released until it's been forced on to a small, grooved plastic disc at a pressure of more than 2,000 lb per square inch. The Wombats and Franz Ferdinand are among the artists whose seven-inch vinyl records are being sleeved and boxed at the Portalspace factory in Hayes, on the edge of west London. As it happens, they are the latest in a venerable tradition. - Emma from Bookmarklet

I am still sceptical. Unless the source master tapes are are analog, you are not getting the real vinyl sound, but rather a conversion from digital. Which seems to me much like saying a 128kbps mp3 is just as good as FLAC or other lossless. - Michael W. May

It's brilliant as long as you don't do a filesystem search for 'the c: drive plz'... at which point the system we know as 'binary collapses faster than a house of cards|economies - David Miller

"There has been a significant increase in responses to status updates on Facebook, and not just from the mainstream. People I know used to most often respond to me via FriendFeed are responding via Facebook at now with some regularity. But it's as I've always said, you should move to where the conversation is and not force it in one place. If it moves, I move." - Louis Gray

What is of massive impact though is that with fb comments you don't a search functionality that is even remotely as useful as search on twitter. Again... search is one of the key aspects of twitter, which fb's incremental privacy features & walled garden mentality will be very hard pressed to replace - David Miller

Man, I just can't grasp it! I'll try again. - Bwana ☠

Phil: I just noticed that, Michael Fidler bumped a months old topic :-/ I know SM has been focusing on features, but UX really can't be ignored as it has been. FriendFeed is a good example of focusing on the UX instead of adding features that works. Lots of features missing that people want, but we all keep coming back because it's a joy to be in. - Mark Trapp

Love it! Then again, I've got more candles than you could shake a candle stick at: the come in handy during ice storms. - FFing Enigma (aka Tina)

"President-Elect Barack Obama will inherit a host of problems from outgoing President Bush. From an economy in recession to the Iraq War, cleaning up from eight years of the worst US president is a immense task. Obama has already selected many former rivals, such as Hilary Clinton, for his cabinet, but the most important appointee he will make is the head of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Although the EPA administrator is not a cabinet level position, this may change as Obama faces the crisis of climate change." - ~C4Chaos from Bookmarklet

I'd like to see Kennedy because he'll push for more than Obama can do, and the compromise is likely to be better than aiming lower with a more mainstream approach - William Harryman

I know someone that works in the state department. They end up getting the call from people after they land in Spain and can't figure out how to collect their winnings. "Have you ever entered the Spanish lottery?".. silence.. click. - Sam Pullara

After revamping its service to allow stumbling without the toolbar, StumbleUpon is adding features to the browser extension. First up: site blocking and "reasons" for giving something a thumbs-down. SU must know that most users either thumb something up or just skip it. The various degrees of down-voting may encourage more balanced ratings without undue negativity. - Chris Baskind
