So my son asked me who would win between Chuck Norris and Evil Chuck Norris.
I don't know, but the winner would have to take on the winner of Spock vs. Evil Spock (you know, the Spock with the goatee).
- dkb
Everyone has a nemesis. Even Chuck Norris.
- Trish R
i'm going with Evil Chuck Norris. i think chuck norris mightn't yet have gotten the memo that mike huckabee is out of the race and wouldn't see ECN (that's Evil Chuck Norris, by the way) coming and ECN would attack him from behind whilst he was doing another endorsement video.
- carlotta fancypants
Carlotta, some people might think that Chuck Norris's support of Mike Huckabee makes *HIM* the Evil Chuck Norris.
- Trish R
That's easy. Chuck Norris wins. Chuck Norris always wins. Except in politics.
- Didi Chanoch
I would win.

I just finished reading Ender's Game, and I must say- I couldn't put it down. I haven't had a story really grip me like that for a long time.
19 years ago, when I first read Ender's Game, I finished it in one night. I remember starting to read it in the evening, and it being light out when I finished.
- Didi Chanoch
I can totally understand that. The story is just so compelling. I'm about to pick up book 2 in the series but I have a feeling it might not live up to my expectations of the original; you always hear about Ender's Game, but rarely does somebody rave about the series as a whole in my experience.

@didic geeks like us will of course give it a whirl. will the mainstream market get on board? I'm skeptical.
Sure, early adopters will be the initial audience. But if it is a strong product, I think it will have traction

i use the old version. I like its smooth and cute style :) the new version has more stuff but is still in need of being polished, and i dont like the color scheme!
- Hayk H.
oh, they have a new verson? ah yeah, it does say beta up there. didn't notice.
- Shoshannah
it's 5two now?
- Zee.
New 80% of the time. I miss a couple of things from the old version, though.
- Robert Scoble
I'm all over the beta. The old version does do things a little better in certain areas but the beta is better overall.
- Scott Jarkoff
OMG...all San Frans are awake :)
- Nir Ben Yona
TC52?
- Mona Nomura
Yeah, Can't remember the full story.
- Roberto Bonini
Same here.
- Steve Rubel
I don't understand why they changed the good things (tabs, visual avatar view), instead of just adding the new features to the old version.
- Orli Yakuel
@Mona, it's 52 now.. (mm.. I think)
- Orli Yakuel
Googled it... still doesn't compute ;) Facebook message me! And the new one is too spread out(?) for me. Instead of having everything consolidated on the left hand side, I know have to click around from L -> R -> L -> R. :\
- Mona Nomura
β mostly.
- Parth Awasthi
beta seems faster and generally easier to use
- mjc
beta = betar.
- Brandon
Since beta was released I dropped my love for the old site!
- Joe Dawson
@Michael, beta is so not easier to use... (not for me anyway)
- Orli Yakuel
Out with the old, in with the new. New FTW
- Didi Chanoch
I love the old one, and hope it will always stay as an option.
- Amit Morson
It took me a few days to switch, but I do prefer the new
- Mattb4rd
using old one -- what turned me off BETA -- using bold for nicknames makes me sick, and design with default width for about 1024 pixel makes it not so useful on smaller device (yes, SOME small device(s) is/are with full-fledged browser, only size of screen not that big)
- A.T.
still using an 'old' friendfeed, fully customized with greasemonkey scripts.
- Marcel van der Laan
Beta with a style layout. http://userstyles.org/styles...

I like the new beta version, easier access to features, nicer looking, still lots of room for improvement but certainly wandering down the right route
- Kol Tregaskes
Old here
- Shey, Jamaican of FF
ditto
- Jeremy Toeman
Shiny and new here. Like most things I like. :-)
- Lisa L. Seifert
Old 70%, New 30%, I prefer the old design too, but, the beta has direct photo uploads and other cool features, grouping and so on.
- Majento
Marcel and Russellreno - Same here!
- Orli Yakuel
new for me
- Gordon Swaby
Beta.
- Steve Isaacs
new - way better to filter

So sad to read. Pandora is an awesome service, and a great part of internet radio. Independent net radio is still going strong and always will. This..just makes you sad.
- Candace
Crap. I'm pulling for you, Pandora!! I can't imagine re-bookmarking all of those songs and artists someplace else. The time it took to build up the small-ish library I already have... Oh, the thought of it. :-(
- Lisa L. Seifert
I'm trying to stop hyperventilating at the thought of losing Pandora. WTF? "SoundExchange, the organization that represents performers and record companies, said it supports the higher royalties for Internet radio because musicians deserve a bigger cut of Internet radio profits."
- Jeanine W.
I wasn't aware of the different royalty rates. Not sure if Pandora is posturing. If Pandora shuts down, then Universal will win, since last.fm will become de facto standard.
- Ontario Emperor
from fftogo
Brian, I totally agree with you but it's not stupidity that drives Sound Exchange it's greed. Obviously the relative success of Pandora to attract a large audience spells dollar signs for a music industry that is seeing terrestrial radio die a slow death and CD sales plummet.
- Jennifer Van Grove
"As for Pandora, its royalty fees this year will amount to 70 percent of its projected revenue of $25 million, Westergren said, a level that could doom it and other Web radio outfits." - yuck.... Now imaging if the revenue could be split directly between Pandora and the artists....
- Tim Hoeck
I've bought a TON of music based on what I heard on Pandora, music that I would have never known about (and thus never purchased) without Pandora. I can't believe how shortsighted the music industry is.
- David Worrell
What David said...
- Lisa L. Seifert
Greed and stupidity both. Indeed. I'm also bothered by the fact that the person trying to broker the deal is the "Congressman from Hollywood", the media companies' best friend, Howard Berman
- Didi Chanoch
Yeah, I too have found new music to buy based on Pandora. They shouldn't be paying anywhere near what broadcasters pay per song. Think about it, Pandora sends songs to individual customers. Broadcasters send songs to hundreds of thousands to millions of customers at once. Why is Pandora being forced to pay way more than broadcasters? It doesn't make sense. It is sheer stupidity for the content owners to do this to internet radio as it's probably one of the few bright spots for music right now.
- Alex Scoble
This is sad. Pandora is such a great idea and the music industry is going to kill it. These assholes just don't get it. I like Pandora because I can find artists I never heard of - something you'll never be able to do with traditional radio. The music industry is once again shooting itself in the foot.
- PC Easy
from twhirl
I'll never understand, Citadel and Clear Channel get to syndicate the music all over the country for free, get to rake in billions in advertising, and they are helping the artist? Pandora and the likes who rake in enough to stay afloat, hardly advertise, rarely profit from playing music, and actually DO help the artist by exposing us to stuff we'd never otherwise be exposed to, and they are punished and get charged million$. Soundexchange should be paying Pandora for all the exposure!
- cmiper
Greed is making the record company folks shoot themselves in the foot (oh wait, PC Easy said that). How many of us find and then BUY new music because of Pandora or Last.fm? I'd wager that number is high. Lose the free music, lose the ensuing purchases. Dumbasses.
- William Harryman
The last 5 or so music purchases I have made were through either Social Media introduction to the band...Last.fm, Myspace, and Pandora, or I bought because the artist got the money, not the music store, not the record co, etc. I got sick of hearing how little the artists actually made on a sale, how much fluff was on a full length CD for only one good track, how inflated the cost of CDs were, and listening to the RIAA tell us that WE are the ones hurting the artists.
- cmiper
Also, remember about 10 or so years back, when the record COs wanted to penalize the sale of used CDs by tagging on a royalty fee? It should have been apparent then that they were out of control.
- cmiper
I think it was apparent, but how do you stop a rabid dog? Too many people are trying to be reasonable with BigMusic instead of regulating them into the ground. It's a shame most corporations can't just be happy to be making a healthy profit--they scream the minute they find they aren't getting every thin dime they could possibly get. They're not like sharks. Sharks die.
- thepete
Also, I've heard all sorts of absurd rumors about that Sound Exchange group, too--like they collect royalties on *all* music, even if the music is from an independent artist--so if you're the musician, you have to sign with them to get your money. Anyone know if this is this true?
- thepete
Pandora is the best. :'( They've been saying this is a big problem for some time now. I really don't think it's posturing.
- Tanath
@Tanath, the "double the fee" law would go into effect in another year and a half. That is what they are in panic mode over.
- cmiper
I've been a huge fan of Pandora since it started, I've bought a great deal of music because of Pandora, I use Pandora to organize much of my music, and I am going to be extremely angry if some Old Media ignoramuses who don't understand new technologies manage to force Pandora's shutdown. (Yet again, I am also taking note that cloud computing is highly unstable and unreliable. Mediamax went under. Now Pandora?)
- Sean McBride
What can be done to help... I can't imagine music without Pandora - it's how I discover new bands.
- Vince DeGeorge
an interesting point-of-view: http://tiny.pl/26p4
- William Harryman
@William, it is an interesting and great POV, though sadly, I think Sound Exchange would see it more of a victory than a self inflicted shot to the foot.
- cmiper
@cmiper, yeah, I suspect you are right. Too bad.
- William Harryman
It really is too bad. I think if all of the sites that are playing/paying the rules right now made a concerted effort, they could shake things up, but I can't see it happening. Last.fm, Pandora, Anywhere.fm, Deezer, Jango, and a few others I am sure I am missing, if they all drew a line in the sand and said "we will pay X amount or nothing...radio is radio, none of it should be treated any different than the other"...they could put SE in check.
- cmiper
nooo! They can't do this! My job already blocked my Muxtape access today, too.

I not so much hated, but was terrified of all sorts of foods when I was a kid. Nowadays I love eating at all sorts of ethnic restaurants. I still hate crunchy onions and mushrooms though (exemption for mushrooms if I'm drunk though... they taste AWESOME when I'm fully buzzed).
- Tad
Beer, coffee, graperuit juice, anything that was bitter. Now I only eat bitter things.
- Meg v. Meg v. 1.0.0.1
*Crunchy* onions? Interesting. I definitely grew up a texture eater. Enjoy food with substance. Hate biting into food with give, ie: mushrooms. But I LOVE mushroom flavor. Well-pureed mushroom soup is the bomb.
