I'm so proud of my 9-yr old daughter! She just wrote her first css - she has this elaborate plan to create a money-making website for girls

Does OpenID need to be hard? | FactoryCity - http://factoryjoe.com/blog...

If you read one post on OpenID and where it might go (and might need to go), start here.
- DeWitt Clinton
from Bookmarklet
I was nodding in agreement until the end where the suggestion is an empty text box where the user can type free-form text. I would instead suggest that the destination page should check for a cookie from Google, Yahoo, AIM, etc. and if you find a valid login cookie from (say) Yahoo, show them a login popup from Yahoo, let them log in, then send them back to the original site with Yahoo vouching for them.
- Matt Cutts
Funny, I must not have read closely enough. I thought Chris was arguing against the free-form text box. I agree with you that the text box is not the way to go at all. However, a very simple browser plugin could auto-populate that behind the scenes. Even better, a plugin could obviate the step of typing in a password at the originating party completely.
- DeWitt Clinton
Hmm, I'm wondering if this is something that could be hoisted via Gears.
- DeWitt Clinton
How would the user FIRST indicate to the browser who their identity provider is? And no, I don't think saying "buy a Chrome OS netbook" is a valid answer. :P
- Chris Messina
Matt, the cookie is dead - the selector is the future (Just my not so humble opinion)
- Jesse Stay
DeWitt, you guys should seriously look into supporting information and action cards in Chrome. That would solve a lot of this problem.
- Jesse Stay
Of course, as Kevin Marks said earlier today that will also depend on an <input type="openid"/> HTML 5 element being adopted into the spec
- Jesse Stay
IMO in the future there will be no sign in buttons - you use your information card and it auto-provides context, logs you in, and gives you the experience you want. All via OpenID, oAuth, etc. but the user won't even know that.
- Jesse Stay
One thing I like about Mark Zuckerberg: he is willing to piss off his users once a year to take Facebook forward.I

When you see the mistakes Friendster, MySpace, Friends Reunited (UK) made that led to their irrelevance, it makes sense to keep pushing the art forward. I believe Facebook realise that and thus keep taking the best aspects of Twitter/FF etc. However they still need to retain their innovative edge, which I believe they have kind of lost over the past year.
- Jamie
Golden rule in software: you can't satisfy all your customers all of the time. So, in order to improve there is no way around pissing users off.

"Wanna"? What is the world coming to. You'd think a company as big as Google could employ people who know how to write.
- Gilbert Harding
Gilbert, I'm sure the Googlers in Oz know how to write proper. I reckon they're just trying to get down with their target audience - i.e. the kool kidz! (Seriously though, do error messages really need to be formal? I like the more relaxed approach...)

A Big Fake Interview Between Charlie Sheen and President Obama **This is a FAKE Interveiw** It never actually happened. - http://www.infowars.com/twenty-...
Frank Da Silva, DC Crowley, Kol Tregaskes and 13 other people liked this
Actor Charlie Sheen gets 20 minutes of President Obama's time and grills him about 9/11 conspiracy theories. Here's the fake interview.
- Thomas Hawk
from Bookmarklet
Given Sheen criminal history I'm surprised that the president would even meet with him. I guess a photo-op is still a photo-op, but I'm not surprised that Sheen went a little crazy on him.
- Davis Freeberg
I bet Charlie never gets a second chance for a 20 minute interview with the President.
- Thomas Hawk
That's almost embarrassing.
- Spencer
LOL... Charlie. Didn't Obama see Malkovich, Malkovich?
- Adrian
Author’s Note: What you have just read didn’t actually happen… yet.
- Uncle CW™
Oh my. I'll have to read that later but what I did read makes me think that this is 20 of our Presidents time we will never get back.
- ChiliMac
Please see CW's comment. This is a fictional transcript. Charlie Sheen has never met with President Obama. When I was reading it, my reaction was that there was zero chance this was an actual transcript of spoken words.
- Stephen Mack
NOT REAL! See last line: "didn't actually happen" (EDIT: heh, now I just look shrill -- but two people had comments before this comment, one expressing amazement, the other asking if this was real. Those two comments are now deleted by the commenter.) Thomas, please edit the first comment and/or subject to indicate this is a work of fiction.
- Stephen Mack
@Thomas: I'd like to echo what the others have said. Jones posted this as a publicity stunt and didn't even include the "DISCLAIMER: THIS DIDN'T ACTUALLY HAPPEN" note until much later today, and even now he buries it in the footer. Frankly it makes me mad that his stunt "worked" ..
- Anthony Citrano
I like how there was a graphical ad mid way through that says: "Ammunition supplies are low! Food is next! Click here!" - damn nut jobs....
- Ňicķ
this is the site: http://www.efoodsdirect.com/ammo-fo... with such bon mots as: "Three years of a drought in California combined with “tree hugger” politics leave dust fields where crops once grew."
- Ňicķ
That would have been the last time Charlie Sheen interviews Obama. :)
- Louis Gray
FICTION ALERT FICTION ALERT FICTION ALERT! Repeating again, just in case: This is just fiction. Last line of article: "Hasn't happened." Article shows a picture of Charlie Sheen writing (MAKING UP) the transcript. Thomas, please modify subject and first post. (Louis, I'm assuming your use of the subjunctive means you know it's fake.)
- Stephen Mack
Fake. Boo.
- Matt Cutts
Doh!!!!
- ChiliMac
This is a kind of proof that people will readily believe what they WANT to believe. Take what the gov't says with a grain of salt. Take what conspiracy whacko's say with a pound.
- John
Reading the comments on that thread -- it may say something about the BS detection skills of some of those who side with the conspiracy theorists, because so many people there seemed to think this was a real transcript. C'mon. Anyone who has ever heard any real interview with a president should be able to detect that the speaking patterns in this "transcript" did not sound natural or real.
- Stephen Mack
Stephen - yes, I edited my comment after tweeting and deleting. :)
- Louis Gray
hahaha, it's a fake? I had no idea actually. Amazing!
- Thomas Hawk
I updated the post above to indicate that it's bogus.
- Thomas Hawk
Thanks, Thomas, although I don't know if "apparently" is strong enough since the author has indicated it's 100% fictional.
- Stephen Mack
ok, removed the apparently part. :)
- Thomas Hawk
Thanks Thomas :) Now, now everyone knows this is fake, we can begin a 1200+ comment discussion about the merits or lack thereof of Charlie's arguments.
- Stephen Mack
Perhaps those digging for “truth” about 9-11 could use one more revelation: “with friends like Alex Jones, we don't need enemies.” The assface crashed an event I was at a few years ago - he's a real class act.
- Anthony Citrano
[Also Thomas, your initial comment refers to it as a "transcript" - which it is not.]
- Anthony Citrano

I.B.M. Withdraws $7 Billion Offer for Sun Microsystems - NYTimes.com - http://www.nytimes.com/2009...
kozmic, Wayne Sutton, wowfreeze.blogspot.com and 83 other people liked this
"After weeks of negotiations, I.B.M. withdrew its $7 billion bid for Sun Microsystems on Sunday, one day after Sun’s board balked at a reduced offer, according to three people close to the talks. ... After the legal review, I.B.M. shaved its offer Saturday from $9.55 a share, the offer on the table late last week, to $9.40 a share, said one person familiar with the talks. The offer was presented to Sun’s board on Saturday, and it balked. The Sun board did not reject the offer outright, but wanted certain guarantees that the I.B.M. side considered “onerous,” according to that person."
- Paul Buchheit
from Bookmarklet
By my reckoning, IBM reduced its offer to Sun twice. You can't reduce an offer twice, and retain any credibility as a serious buyer. So IBM will have lost its credibility with Sun's Board - which includes Sun's largest shareholders. That means it's not Sun's management rejecting IBM - it's Sun's shareholders rejecting IBM. Either IBM did this because it didn't really want to do the deal; or IBM is not used to doing deals where it needs to behave in a credible way.
- Simon Brocklehurst
This sounds like what happened with the Apple deal in the '90s.
- Gabe
Simon - that was my thought. This price thing is more indicative of cold feet.
- Hutch Carpenter
Like for relevance. Dislike for content. I think the IBM deal would have been good for Sun, and kept its Java IP in reasonably competent hands. Plus, I hate navigating Sun's web pages; it's sad to say that IBM's are actually better :P
- Joel Webber
Sorry, Joel, but I can't think of any company that was really better off after being acquired by IBM. Rolm? Lotus? Rational? Informix? No on all counts.
- Gabe
@Gabe: Well, maybe you're right about that (I was an intern at Lotus during the IBM acquisition, and people were leaving like rats off a sinking ship). I'm thinking more of what's good for those of us who care what happens to Java. I know most of it's open in one way or another at this point, but it could still use good technical leadership, and I don't really see Sun doing that so much anymore.
- Joel Webber
+1 @Joel. And some of the alternatitives are pretty bad - Imagine Dell owning Sun. Hewlett Packard (or Cisco) have got no idea how to do software.
- Nick Lothian
I like it that IBM and Sun still remain as separate entities.
- Winston Teo
Joel, the problem is that IBM is not technically competent. That IBM people think SWT is a good idea demonstrates they don't even understand the problems, let alone have any ability to figure out high-quality solutions. People tend to confuse IBM's super strong sales and business development capability for it having strong technical ability. IBM's business model is such that the weaker its staff are technically, and the worse its software, the more money it makes. Clever stuff, business-wise.
- Simon Brocklehurst
@Simon - does Sun have alternatives? (Also - it's not like Swing or JavaFX give me huge confidence in Sun sometimes...)
- Nick Lothian
Nick, there's always a "Plan B". In the event of no buyers, Sun can do massive layoffs to return to profitability. If Sun cut enough to have $1B in annual profits, market cap would be higher than IBM's offer, which would provide a better exit for major shareholders. More than possible to do this, given Sun's annual R&D budget is $2B. Re: JavaFX - it's at least modern in concept; SWT is a flawed idea, that was known to be flawed (by everyone except IBM) more than a decade ago.
- Simon Brocklehurst
@Simon - there are other things Sun could do to make a short term return to profits, too eg, try and moneterise Java more aggressively,drop the software business and become a patent troll, etc, etc. I'm not sure any would be good for Java.
- Nick Lothian
@NIck - well, several parts of Sun's software business, including Java, are profitable currently. No need to drop these if they look like staying profitable. The trick is to cut the overhead (under-performing middle managers, sales people that can't sell etc.); and cut the R&D to a size that reflects the size of the business today. I'm not sure growing the top-line in the short-term is realistic in the current economy. A return to profitability, though, should be possible.
- Simon Brocklehurst

- rob friedman
from twhirl
@Simon: I really don't want to turn this into an SWT/Swing argument, as I feel like they both suck for various reasons. But I don't think it's fair to say that SWT is proof that IBM lacks technical competence (From my limited experience, IBM's technical competence varies a lot among different groups within the company).
- Joel Webber
With SWT, they wanted to solve a specific problem very well from an end-user's perspective -- i.e. it should feel like a native app, and be fast. And they did so quite well, IMHO, even though it sucks to have to use all those native libraries and platform-specific jars. But the Eclipse UI still feels a lot better to me than IntelliJ, and I think SWT's the reason (obviously this is a matter of opinion, but I know plenty of people who far prefer a SWT UI, so it's at least open to debate).
- Joel Webber
Sorry, Sun
- Jayavasanthan J
Paul are you going to buy Sun?
- Shakeel Mahate
I never understood why IBM would want to buy Sun other than that it was cheap. Obviously they decided it wasn't cheap enough.
- Kenton
Glad I didn't buy any Sun stock.
- John Flynn
@Joel, you're right - it doesn't prove it; rather I think it illustrates it And clearly, it would be overstating things to say the *whole* of IBM is technically incompetent. However, there are *many*, *many* weak people there. Everyone I meet that has dealt with IBM - customers, collaborators, competitors - has stories to tell; and almost none are positive in terms of technical capability. Conversely, everyone is impressed by its ability to win business and put dollars in the bank.
- Simon Brocklehurst
Didn't we see this coming?
- Brad Arsenault
Wow, how did we not all see this coming. What is IBM going to do with Sun? Just purchase Java from them, not all of Sun.

The impact is it has the potential to completely and finally replace your e-mail in ways you never imagined. E-mail has been a flawed protocol for quite awhile, but no one has been in a position, until Google, to fix it.
- Jesse Stay
Does this mean they're combining google reader, chat, and friend connect into one service?
- Luke Stay
The other impact is this goes right against what FriendFeed is doing - FriendFeed is now competing with Google.
- Jesse Stay
Luke, it's much more than that - they're building an entire protocol around this. You'll install Wave servers on your servers that will transfer this data from server to server.

Goodbye, Friendfeed

FriendFeed needs to open up to compete. Either speak Wave protocol, or start your own open protocol. Having similar functionality on this closed system just can't work. This is what I've been preaching forever (and predicted at the beginning of this year) and Google just made my prediction come true.

- Jesse Stay
No kidding about turning Google down. Twitter's great but I think they are just going to become a feature/side note of the real time web.
- Justin Whittaker
hmm, so is it email that GWave is trying to replace? or is it something much bigger? i may be missing something here
- Kevin Pruett
I agree. Twitter'll will likely stay a major player. But I think FriendFeed kind of feels more like the beginnings of a platform play to me. I think it has more potential in the long run.
- Justin Whittaker
Kevin, much more than e-mail. E-mail is only one thing that it fixes. This fixes the entire communications experience, not just e-mail. IMO that's the only way to fix e-mail.
- Jesse Stay
Something to note is that it looks like this replaces e-mail addresses with actual people. Goodbye spam.
- Jesse Stay
The reason this is such a threat to FriendFeed is that Google has the everyday web users already in their grasp. It won't just be early adopters jumping on Google Wave. It has the power and influence to go mainstream much quicker than FriendFeed. I only see early adopters and Social Media experts on FriendFeed, all of my real life friends and family are on Google's many services.
- Luke Stay
I don't see this as a threat to FriendFeed but more as a direct attack on Facebook. Facebook will certainly have to open more up now to stay in business. The web will be full of it, especially if Google Wave truly is an open project in terms of ownership too. If Google Wave isn't released under a free license, it's just another proprietary protocol dressed up in new clothing. But it sounds like they really mean _open_ when they say they do.
- Morten Blaabjerg
They're all in the same battle - the battle to index people instead of things. Frankly, Google has the best position because it has the network and it has a mobile platform to do it on.

I'm especially curious as to whether or not you could run a free enterprise Wave server inside your corporate firewall without any help from Google. If so that might be all it takes to make E2.0 happen.
- Daniel J. Pritchett
I've blogged repeatedly (http://www.sharingatwork.com/tag...) about the need to run an internal facebook, the need to replace email with realtime asynchronous comms like microblogging, and the need for drag and drop file & image sharing in contemporary collaboration apps. If you can legitimately run a free standalone Wave server inside your company this solves all of those problems without having to come to grips with the fact that CIOs are afraid of SaaS.
- Daniel J. Pritchett
Daniel, I'm betting that's the case - based on their announcements today that shouldn't be that hard.
- Jesse Stay
from email
A few years from now Wave might come out looking a lot like Microsoft's decision to give IE away for free: A dominant software player gives away best of breed software for free and captures the market for a decade.
- Daniel J. Pritchett
Jessie I don't think the functionality is the same as FriendFeed. Wave appears to be a private experience, like email is. You "send" a wave to select friends. FriendFeed is the opposite, you make a post and anyone can hop on and it spreads virally (but I guess it gets the best of both worlds, because you can send it directly to people too)
- Daniel Sims
Daniel, I'm not sure we know that yet. I'm guessing it will contain a combination of both private and public. If they're smart that's how it will work. Keep in mind that Dan Peterson, one of the major team members of Wave, used to be one of the major team members on the OpenSocial project. They really get this stuff and have been doing it for awhile.
- Jesse Stay
from email
Fair point Jesse. It would be easy for Google to release the protocol publicly but then host their own proprietary clients. It could look like Twitter.com vs. Tweetdeck I guess. [EDIT] Or more like GMail versus Outlook Express. Both are email clients, but there's not much in common.
- Daniel J. Pritchett
from IM
According to their architecture documents, each "wave" has the capability to go to one or more participants at their specified domain, similar to e-mail. However, that doesn't mean Google can't create a specific, "public participant" of some sort which when you send a message to it gets posted to a public timeline.
- Jesse Stay
So basically, it's what FriendFeed is doing, on a much, much more open level, where you actually own the data you are sending across the web.
- Jesse Stay
Just look at what Google Groups does to seamlessly merge public/private email, forums, search, and newsgroups. Multiple different vectors to a single network, and no one has to know the difference.
