Peter Raymont + Michèle Hozer :: Genius Within: The Inner Life of Glenn GOULD (2009 documentary film) - http://www.nytimes.com/2010...
Ksana, Amira, Lit and 2 other people liked this
"... shows the sad progression of a brilliant musician with a fiercely original artistic vision as he becomes increasingly obsessive and isolated. Yet it also provides valuable insights into the inner workings of Gould’s distinctive technique and unorthodox interpretive approach. Gould played with uncanny clarity and brought seemingly impossible independence to individual voices. Though Gould was drawn to Baroque music and instinctively cultivated lucid musical textures, the film reveals the extent to which his principal teacher, the Chilean-born pianist Alberto Guerrero, imparted skills that maximized clarity. Guerrero was an advocate of a technical discipline known as finger tapping. Gould’s finger-oriented technique explains, in part, why he sat so low, though he was a gangly man. In this crouched posture, with his hands reaching up to the keyboard, his fingers do everything."

There are ways to use any Facebook application without people knowing. Don't give an application permission to write to your feed and turn off "Activity on Applications and Games Dashboards" at http://www.facebook.com/setting...
- Benjamin Golub
Benjamin, the other farmville people will know. When they send the free gifts Joe's name wlil pop up in the "farmville friends" list.
- Maggie
That's true. But those users are also using the application so hopefully it wouldn't embarrass Joe.
- Benjamin Golub
I think the fake account is the way to go. But then I need fake friends. Where does it end?
- Joe Beda
One thing I don't like is when you go to http://www.facebook.com/..., you can see who has played a certain game today.
- Rodfather
Ah I changed the settings last week. for "Applications and Games Dashboards" Benjamin suggested. I created a list called 'Gamers' and only have them see the stream of game updates.

- John Wang
I looked earlier and it said you canceled your account...though Facebook's been wonky lately. Especially on mobile. #boo
- Mona Nomura
Oh wow. It's still there. I hope. I logged in earlier. Hmm. Well, let me know if it doesn't work, maybe I need to contact them. Thanks for the heads up! And so jealous of your future Nexus One!
- John Wang
I just looked and it's there. So weird. I am really excited. REALLY excited. Need to tie up loose ends with AT&T then I will be FREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
- Mona Nomura
Ah. I take it that means you're going on a T-Mobile plan and not getting it unlocked. Either way, I'm excited for you too. And if you keep the iPhone, with a little "hacking," you could always just plop in the SIM card if you really wanted to.

Enjoy it - it's taken some getting used to, but I'm digging Android. Hope to move from the Hero to a Nexus soon myself.

- Frankie Gray
from BuddyFeed
Considering I only use Google apps (Google Maps, Gmail, Google Voice, etc.), Tweetie, and Foursquare, I firmly believe the N1 is the phone for me. PDFs, presentations (Docs to Go) isn't that big of a concern to me, since I can view via Google Docs. My only worry is Google Reader -- can someone provide feedback?
- Mona Nomura
There's no native app that I know of, but the iPhone version of Google Reader works great on my Droid. http://www.google.com/reader...
- Tudor Bosman
The Google apps are great. Don't be surprised when you find out the Android version of a lot of iPhone apps are lacking. How is T-Mobile in your area? These days, I choose the carrier first over the phone.

One thing I like about Mark Zuckerberg: he is willing to piss off his users once a year to take Facebook forward.I
Amadou M. Sall, DC Crowley, ax0n and 18 other people liked this
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.

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.

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" ..

FICTION ALERT FICTION ALERT FICTION ALERT! Repeating again, just in case: This is just fiction. Last line of article: "Hasn't happened."

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.

good script for a never happened conversation! i hope someday sheen can ask these questions directly to the president or maybe even a sign from obama that he read the script and he would take it into consideration would be a good start! (it's too obvious that i'm not an american isn't it?)
- maliforever
the bigger conspiracy to me is why there is a character called Bud Fox in my father's copy of Wall Street 2, and yet he isn't officially signed yet for the movie. Charlie makes no secret of his politics, but no conservative takes Alex Jones seriously. it is true however that Sheen is a Troofer and would be right at home in a friendfeed nuthouse.

I.B.M. Withdraws $7 Billion Offer for Sun Microsystems - NYTimes.com - http://www.nytimes.com/2009...

"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.

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.

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.

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.
- Jesse Stay
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.

- 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
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.

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.
