*hugs his beloved faceted navigation* - Steven Kaye
*sigh* Sad but true, especially of my last company, and of most library database interfaces. - ☺ Cecily ☺
Semi True. While funny, sometimes you NEED to limit the results found and then the google answer is an obscure text search syntax that 99% of users will never use, instead of "cluttering" stuff with a checkbox. - Soulhuntre
To be fair... your app may need to do more than search ;) - Dion Almaer
Just saw these in a presentation at KM World. There's another one for an Apple product. - Hutch Carpenter
They used these in a presentation? :O I found them cleaning out my external so I decided to post. And please don't ask why I have random images on my HD. I don't even know haha. Brb, gonna Google for the Apple one! - Mona N.
"Now, I want to be clear and speak directly to those of you who LOVED that Palin interview. You're an idiot. I mean that. This is not one of those cases where we're going to agree to disagree. This isn't one of those situations where we debate it passionately and then walk away thinking that the other guy is wrong but argued well. I'm not going to think of you as a thoughtful but misguided person with different ideas who still really cares about the country and the world. No, sorry, not this time. This time, if you watched those interview excerpts and weren't scared out of your freakin' mind, then you're mentally ill, mentally disabled, or mentally disturbed" - Dave "Maverick" Winer

This is a great quote from this article: "Vote for someone smarter than you. Vote for someone who inspires you. Vote for someone who has not only traveled the world but who has also shown a deep understanding and compassion for it. The stakes are real and they're terrifyingly high. This election matters. It matters. It really matters. Let me say that one more time. This. Really. Matters." - good stuff. - darodave
I'm getting the feeling that all of this making-Palin-the-story is actually helping the McCain campaign. - Andrew Grumet
it is. Most Americans don't view the world through smart people's eyes. It is the economy stupid wins. This stuff fails. - Robert Scoble
@Robert: If it is the economy. Or more to the point, the pocketbook, then why shouldn't Obama win? His income tax plan puts more money into more people's pockets. Or is the point that Obama needs to hit that point again and again and again? - AJ Kohn
It is the economy stupid versus It is the Palin stupid. I'm not at all sure who will prevail. Palin is something new. The media like new things. - Benedikt Koehler
@AJ: Actually McCain means a more stable economy and in the long run means that people will maintain their lot in life. It is the fear of the unknown that drive voters away from Obama. His policies have the ability to move America is a better direction, but also will certainly shake things up a bit. This scares the shit out of the average Joe American. - Bob Blunk
Based upon the first paragraph of this article, I think there is a third category: the "responsible, informed, curious, thoughtful, mature, educated, empathetic, remotely serious", and civil individual. HuffPost just lost credibility with me when you post an article that starts off as crude as this one and then doesn't offer anything but one-sided, hot headed opinion. - Greg Lato
@Bob: By stable, you mean he's not going to do much to it, right? Then yes I agree and yes, plenty of folks are scared of change. But ... the economy is in real trouble. More than I think people really understand. Home values are still way out of whack versus historic trends (see Case-Shiller), personal debt is very high, savings at zero, the dollar is weak and inflation is growing. And the inflation and GDP numbers aren't really accurate: http://www.chrismartenson.com/... - AJ Kohn
I haven't watched this but am so thankful you have prepared me to know how idiotic I am if I do like this interview. I do agree with darodave in that this electinon really matters. I am just certain that I want neither candidate in the office of the commander and chief. One wants to offer change without describing how that will be accomplished with the help and resistance of the american people who make up the macrocosm that is the economy of the U.S of A and that interacts with the global economy dealing with simple things like geopolitical, religious, and humanistic paradigms. The other is a liberal version of the same conservative administration that lead us into a misguided and criminal war. The truth may lead to much more powerful and infinitely more insidious prinicipalities above the figureheads these candidates represent. Long has been the time when I personally felt anyone involved in government (or in corporate America for that matter, but then that isn't their role and they have never pretended it - Curtis Cross

It's about time someone wrote what a lot of people are thinking. - Jeff P. Henderson
Well I can now say for certain I hate the undetermined character limits of friend feed as much as the 140 character limits imposed by twitter, identica, plurk, etc... Though I am uncertain of that last statement is even remotely correct: yes.. corporations have put forth the pretense of caring.. the gist I was getting at was that this election for me is choosing the lesser of two evils. - Curtis Cross

Most americans, I'm sure, agree the economy sucks. The problem is, which party has the solutions you think will make a difference? What is the vision for the future of this country that is most similar to yours? Most americans want to drill in AK and not cut down on consumption and buy a Prius. I'm agreeing with Robert - this election is not going to be a landslide and the Repubs have a very good shot at winning this. They offer "half assed change." - Jason Kaneshiro
team & job safe, but yet another reorg. nothing I haven't gone through before in my 8.5 year tenure. starting tomorrow, I have a new boss though. - Brian Daniel Eisenberg
I don't ever think I have seen Jason on the defensive. There must be lots of heckling going on in Twitter about this. - Roger Kondrat
Jason: I need only 15.000$ funding, Is it OK being my angel investor (%10 for you) ? : ) - Erhan Erdogan
Well, a little bit. Just check search.twitter.com and you will see a lot of criticism - Arturo Servin

@erhan in American and the UK you use comma's otherwise Jason just thought you want $15 not $15,000.. ;0) - Roger Kondrat
Yammer = needed in the market (prove of +2000 companies and +10000 indiv signed on first day of launch) + original implementation + very real and working business model. None of the other few runups for final came close to Yammer. All lokked cool and stylish but but and but.. Perfect choice, Jason!! - Hayk Hakobyan
Roger: No problem - I need Jason only : ) - Erhan Erdogan
Erhan you could raise that money quite easily in the UK. You should email me a bit more info about your start up. - Roger Kondrat
Roger: I just made a joke for Jason's own idea. : ) But we will be in touch with you for years and years! ; ) - Erhan Erdogan
I figured but didn't want to take the chance as you going to America is way more work than flying for 2 hrs to the UK. - Roger Kondrat
there would be 2 x the hater BBQ if event was in southeast us, jc and every1 involved in that event gets props, opinions are like assholes everyones got one! - shayne catrett
Just watched the Yammer preso-this thing is awesome for orgs. It's robust & definitely has some features I wish Twitter did. - Clay Newton
I would add Indy to the list of alternative cities. With incredibly low cost of living, and solid Tech and Informatics programs at both IU and Purdue turning out lots of qualified talent, central location, and growing creative class, we are a attractive alternative.. And did I mention our cost of living/ - Lorraine Ball
Austin/San Antonio seems to be the place....The City of San Antonio has been very accommodating and friendly with hosting giant RackSpace. - Sean McGee
@Zack, the UK is a good place. They score higher than the US as a place of doing business and London has a good VC and startup culture so financing and hiring are not problematic for a young company. Zack there is a group on FF for Europe related discussion - http://is.gd/2pB7 - Roger Kondrat
Rochester, NY is sorta cool... ok I WANT it to be more cool. We are heavy into IT here...lots of students and universities...nice spot! (no earthquakes, hurricanes or tornados either!) - Susan Beebe
NC in the house! For those interested, there is a Research Triangle Park, NC, but this is largely home to big research campuses (as you might guess). Folks live in Durham (like me), Chapel Hill/Carrboro, Raleigh. This is a great place to live. - Ayşe E.
Saw someone visit blog from Half Moon Bay-- wonder who that could be? Just updated with new links-- BBC 4 now back on LHC/ CERN story. - Nice Fish Films
Completed- little bit of time lag, LHC site was down, cosmic varience site was hit hard with traffic, even US LHC site struggled. BBC 4 Still on it! - Nice Fish Films
Yup, even in Microsoft's Official Windows magazine, they promoting XP more. Vista + EPIC FAIL - Ron
OS X is better then Vista. But, alas I'm stuck with Vista. So how does it run on your Pro? - Mathew Ballard
Does the download version work for both Mac and Windows? I know the retail box does. - Joe Beda
I'd like to know if you can -tab out of the game? I couldn't with the creature creator. - d[▪_▪]b ♫
Type -return to get out of the full screen mode and -tab should definitely work even in full screen mode. At least it did for me with the creature creator. - Dan Serfaty
hmm, i thought you used XP? ...anyway, that's odd! I'm also using vista and I haven't had any problems!! I got really addicted to it too though! Which is quite surprising as it's not normally my type of game! - Jonathan Brierley
