This reminds me of something I've wanted for a while now: FriendFeed needs a "Post By Mail" feature. Print out the form, fill it in, send it in an envelope, and it shows up in your stream a few days later… for folks who really aren't into real-time.

Willow Garage: The Personal Robot Will Be Open Source | Singularity Hub - http://singularityhub.com/2009...

"After peering in their source code, pouring over their website, and watching their many videos, I’m starting to become a believer in Willow Garage. It’s hard not to when you look at their line-up. Steve Hassan [I think they mean Scott], a Google guru, founded and funded the company. Along with Steve Cousins, the CEO, they’ve attracted enough money to run things the way they want. No military uses, and a big focus on developing better practices and community, not profits. While you or I may look at the PR2 and see a bot, Willow Garage sees a development platform. The ultimate idea is to make copies available to every academic institute that wants to build a reputable robotics lab. The PR2 is being geared up to become a universal research bot, custom fit for robotics software R&D and able to be adapted to whatever investigation scientific minds want to point it towards. Great…but why would you want to choose this robot over any other?"

Rob, I don't know. It's all second hand information obviously, but what I heard is that you can come up with some cool user interface ideas using mdma. Apparently, seeing the screen was not a problem for this person.
- Cristo
Coming up with the idea, you don't need a screen. And I could see where psychedelics could prove useful in being able to discover the proper "wiring" from screen and keyboard/mouse to brain. Most people regard mdma as an empathogen, and given that, I could see where you could use it to feel how someone would feel using an application. Actually doing the coding - I can't imagine it.

The best way is like this: +1-425-205-1921 -- that way the phone number always works, even if you're overseas. (the +1 needs to be your country code). That's my phone number, by the way.
- Robert Scoble
If you use spaces, a lot of times they won't be clickable on iPhone or on Skype. So, always +1-425-205-1921 with dashes. Periods don't work sometimes too. Brackets don't work sometimes too.
- Robert Scoble
Doesn't always work, Robert. For instance, dialing a local call with the one first will return an error tone followed by a message that the call cannot be completed as dialed or that there is no need to dial the 1.

Brandon: if you go overseas a lot, that won't work. You first need to enter a Plus sign. I've hit that many times before. Or, dial 00 to get the operator. I find a Plus always works. At least in six countries I've tried it in. So, that's why I always list +14252051921 which works great for machines, or +1-425-205-1921 for humans (which also works for machines).

Unless you live in Tina's neighborhood cause they have switches that can't handle the newer phone numbers. I only use cell phones, though.

- ♥patricia♥
"I've been in 40+ states and I've never hit that . . . I only use cell phones, though." Exactly. This is a legacy from electro-mechanical switch days, when dialling "1" on your local step-by-step switch automatically sent your call to the toll switch. It was never necessary in SPC or digital switches, but done anyway. Cell phones don't experience this as the numbers would be sent en bloc anyway.

Gabe: just took a screenshot of my iPhone, so you can see: http://www.flickr.com/photos... Press and hold 0, and it creates a plus sign (+). Presumably, that's standard behavior on other cell phones.
- Mark Trapp
xxx.xxx.xxxx -- probably due to IPv4 influences... Not sure what will happen when IPv6 hits critical mass... They better put a ":" character in the number pad
- Mark Philpot
Mark/Robert: I meant actual telephone keypads, not computer displays. Obviously a computer display could have any arbitrary buttons but I've never seen a real keypad with anything more than 0-9#*.
- Gabe
Gabe: + is a substitute for your international call prefix, which in many countries is 00. In the United States, it's 011. Presumably you don't need a + sign on regular phones because you'd be typing it in manually anyway. The plus sign came about as a standard (E.123) when electronic communications became the norm, so computers could recognize a standard telephone format.
- Mark Trapp
Mobile is xxxxx xxx xxx. Landline is xxxx xxx xxx. Numbers in the cities are different.
- Kol Tregaskes
In India, phone numbers are 10 digit but area codes can be 2 or 3 or 4 digit so the format is dictated by the area codo. See http://www.immihelp.com/nri.... The US 3-3-4 format does not work.

This is a variation of the subset-sum problem.. my follow up question is what about 4 numbers that sum to 0? (I'm the friend who asked)
- Adam Derewecki
Eric: that's kind of the worst case solution but yeah it works. I haven't written any code but I think you can make it faster by separating it into two problems because you know you'll need at least one negative number in each set of triplets (either a negative and 2 positives or 2 negatives and a positive).
- Benjamin Golub
with a pencil.
- Jim Addz No Value
Ben, yeah that would be much better for large sets. it would need a little work because a set of 0s works too. Is the list already sorted? The best case would probably use some sort of interval halving and recursion, but it depends on what you know about the list beforehand..
- Eric Kerr
I assume the list is not sorted.

ok, Safari is the best. FireFox is second, Opera 3rd and Chrome is the worst. IE is the backup. I use Opera BTW :D

I don't agree.... try manging online without google....

@Rob, That girl seems so unhealty. As a man I am just considering the look of the girls :D not the actual functionality of the browsers.

I love Firefox for the extensions, of course. Safari and Chrome, for me, anyway, are one and the same.

I am walking down Market Street in San Francisco and two long-time key stores are closing. Virgin and Staceys. Prime retail real estate. Apple's store is across the street and is still busy.
- Robert Scoble
They claim they can make more money renting the space then they were making as a store front.
- Sean Montgomery
Yep. I have gone in their twice since moving to SF. They don't sell DVD-Rs there (fail) and full retail on everything. Amazon always is chea
- Yoono
I heard about Virgin going out, but I have no idea Staceys going out too. This is so depressing, that's always my favorite book store :-(

Virgin mega stores all shut down in the UK a few years ago and became Zavvi. Within a year all Zavvi stores closed down... just a few days ago they relaunched as an online only retailer of music.
- Kaustav Bhattacharya
Robert - one thing to think about (and i dont know the answer) is - why is the apple store busy - are people buying or using? i know i go to the apple store when i need a quick internet hit - but i dont buy anything... virgin doesn't have internet terminals, etc.
- Allen Stern
My local Virgin store in Burbank closed a few years ago after the roof collapsed during a storm. They never bothered to re-open it. Bummer, as it's a great music store.
- Jonathon
Richard Branson said that one of his biggest regrets in business was that he didn't get out of retail sooner.
- Dan Morelle
Allen: there certainly are still buyers but Apple is brilliant at psychology. I never go into an empty restaurant and Apple stores always make me feel good even as a place to dream.
- Robert Scoble
Sad to see Stacey's go. They had a great selection. Virgin, not so much. I rarely could find anything I was looking for in there. Rasputin has a better selection and more informed staff.
- Jeremy Brooks
I blogged about this a while back - but one thing to note that is very different between Apple stores & Virgin (and Stacy's for that matter) is how cluttered Virgin stores are vs. how clean & highly curated the Apple store is. Very different models & philosophies of retail (and look which is prospering)
- Shannon Clark
robert - not sure i get your point about an empty rest. and apple? for example, i had 30 minutes to kill before a doctor appt - the apple store was on the next block so i went over there to use the internet but didnt buy anything - if you go to the store on 59th it's all tourists playing with the computers - will this change their thoughts for a future purchase? maybe - not sure honestly - it didn't change mine, i just bought a refurb dell xps :)
- Allen Stern
good point shannon - i always found virgin in times square to be dumpy
- Allen Stern
I almost twitpic'ed some stuff from BestBuy today. Couldn't get the laptop I wanted because it was sold out. Most of the lower-end Canon point-n-shoots had "sorry, sold out" signs in front of them. Are they purging inventory or are people still buying?
- Jon Adair
Allen, something to keep in mind with Apple Stores (which is rare in US retail other than higher end designer stores) is that transactions can be closed by roving salespeople w/handheld credit card machines- and that most sales are fairly high margin (Apple's own products)
- Shannon Clark
I Think we will be seeing this all over North America for the some time.
- walterh
Not Stacy's! It was always a must visit when I was in SF.
- Tom Landini
Stacey's is closing?!? I was hoping to go there next time I went to SF! Is the Palo Alto store closing as well?
- Wilson Afonso
Actually, ignore that. I see that the Palo Alto store closed a while back. Damn.
- Wilson Afonso
Staceys? NO!!!!

Article about Virgin store closures: http://www.brisbanetimes.com.au/article...
- Barak B
I'm sad about the closure of Virgin Megastores for the same reason that I was sad about the closure of Tower Records a while back. As opposed to many other brick and mortar music chains, Tower and Virgin had a fairly large selection. If I couldn't find it in a Wherehouse or Music Plus, I could find it at Tower, or later at the Virgin Megastore. Are economics driving us to no wide-selection brick and mortar stores? Will we depend upon Amazon and Netflix for songs and movies?
- Ontario Emperor
I should note that in my 8-bit rotary phone way, I'm not quite ready to move from CDs/DVDs to complete downloads where I don't purchase any tangible media. I rarely purchase songs online - the only time I did was via MSN Music, which no longer exists. My CDs that I bought at Virgin, Tower, etc. still exist. I guess I'm a tangible guy.
- Ontario Emperor
Virgin was bound to close down anyway. Their prices are not competitive and they are certainly not innovative - nothing sets them aside. They're like Blockbuster. It's more of a result of not being with the times, rather than sign of the times, imho...
- Mona Nomura
With so much music and video now sold without tangible media (discs) it's little surprise that companies like Virgin are closing. For example, I'm writing this on a Samsung NC10 - which doesn't have (or need) a CD/DVD drive. Unless Virgin and others chane their business model, more stores will close IMHO.
- Jim Connolly
Virgin Megastore is a dinosaur.
- Bill Sodeman
I think not just Virgin, but the whole Virgin Megastore concept now has had its day.. Media is just not bought this way IMHO any more. The only exception could be video games for now, until they also move online..
- Nigel Walsh
In the UK, Virgin Megastore's had a management buyout. It renamed to Zavvi and then went bust.
- Nicholas James
the hollywood one is shutting down as well. last time i was there was on december. i purchased the cure's new & current album w/ event pass. i returned the cd days later after a fiasco /not so good experience @ the event. i hear they are keeping the new york times square megastore however.
- sɹǝɥʇɐǝɟʞɔɐןq
Yep we saw that store closing down... bummer.
- Drew Lucas
Great time to buy yourself a Virgin, wouldn't you say? :-)
- Scott W.
Not sure that the Virgin Store is a victim the recession but instead a victim of iTunes and Amazon.
- Steve Sill
I agree, Steve. Not so much victim of the recession. Virgin is just a symptom of a greater issue. Say rather its a victim of the disappearance of the virtue of loyalty. We say in a business we want to develop brand loyalty. But loyalty has to mean something in the spiritual sense before it translates into another discipline. When it loses its spiritual currency, the other does not follow far behind. Loyalty isn't loyalty unless its tested.
- Melanie Reed
I wonder if there has been any service or goods that has been able to consistently deliver their service or product over the long term and constantly anticipate the demand for the novel yet sustainable for a whimsical buying public? Can you name one?
- Melanie Reed
Long term is dead, at least for now. Its trends that we are going to have to move on from now on
- RALPH
I agree, RALPH. And trends represent restlessness. So what is behind the restlessness?
- Melanie Reed
Long term is not dead. Innovating, reinventing, and creativity = longevity.
- Mona Nomura
It's sad that Virgin Megastores is closing - they already closed in Canada a while ago - but at least SF still has both Rasputin's and Amoeba Music.
- Andrew C
Mona N. I would like to suggest that what appears to us to look like "long-term" by reinventing, innovating is just restlessness. That real long-term is something that supersedes that restless desire for reinvention, innovation (which are just synonyms for restlessness), that it is closer to what Chesterton called "exalting in monotony". This "getting up and saying to the sun: do it again!" We are not there yet. We have made nothing that warrants it and we are losing the capacity to notice what is.

hopefully some lawyer out there can help Fake Chuck out. It's absurd to me that Canon could try and shut down a blog with "fake" in the title, "fake" in the url, and "fake" literally all over the blog.

update: it's good to see that WordPress is standing by Fake Chuck. I've reprinted Automattic CEO Toni Schneider's response to Canon's lawyers on my blog.
