What’s TWiT Worth To You? - http://leoville.com/whats-t...
Kelly J, Brian Hill, sofarsoShawn and 22 other people liked this
I've discovered that over 70% of my media consumption (TV, music, movies, podcasts, audiobooks, etc) comes from TWIT, but it costs me much less relative to my bills from DirecTV, Netflix, etc. I've been a recurring contributor since the beginning, and will continue. My only fear is that I hope this doesn't lead to Leo trying to constantly please the audience....the vocal minority could ruin it.
- Larry
70% really? I listen to Tech, Windows, and Google, but that doesn't come close to what you do @Larry. You should step away from the podcast more often. lol.
- Randy Pollock
@Randy, I listen to 10 of the TWIT shows on a regular basis, and only watch about 1 or 2 hours of TV a day at most. I have plenty of time to listen to podcasts throughout the day, but not much time to watch television or movies.
- Larry
when i heard you propose this on the live feed the other day i was thinking 'great idea' -- glad to see you've made the decision and went for it
- Chris Heath
$5.34
- Fleagle
I hope you talked to your wife before doing this.
- Chris Strange
This is just another reason why I love Leo and will continue to contribute.
- Kimmie
Twit allowed me to get rid of cable all together. I don't have a TV at all. Twit provides enough steady quality streams so I get all my media from the internet. Without Twit, I'd probably pay for cable again (boooo!) I started the MMR! (minor media revolution=no cable/satellite/antenna, all media from the internet) Viva la MMR!

Leo, will get to the tip jar tomorrow. Thanks for the shows.

Leo, if you are going to talk about Crunchpad this sunday, check out this "investigative" post http://www.e27.sg/2009...
- shen heng
good article shen... i'll 'submit' it for twit on delicious by using the for:twit tag so leo might see it
- Chris Heath
but it doesn't really come to any conclusions... i want to hear jason calacanis' thoughts on this story
- Chris Heath
I Love TWiT and Leo - But, after reading his post I have no idea what this will change or even why he's changed it.
- Jim Connolly
Jim... all that's changing is how Leo does his accounting and pays himself. Previously he was paying for fixed costs like severs with the donation money. Now the donation money is his TWiT salary. I guess it simplifies the 'how much should I pay myself' question and also is a kind of measuring stick for success. I'm not sure why the blog post didn't explain enough to you. Do you still have questions?
- Chris Heath
Seems like a publicity gimmick to me. And after throwing Pournelle under the bus, you can forget any donation.
- Fnord
Fnord... You can disagree with someone and still remain great friends with them... We are all more than one dimension.
- Johnny Worthington
how was Pournelle thrown under a bus? what happened? or is Fnord just being contrary ?
- Chris Heath
All I can figure is he's talking about this, Chris http://twitter.com/leolapo... http://twitter.com/leolapo... but I think simply disagreeing with somebody really stretches the meaning of "throwing under the bus"... not that it really ever meant anything anyway.
- Ken Sheppardson
Honestly I don't want to take anything away from TWIT, I have been watching Mr.Leo Laporte since 2001 and have loved everything you have done. That being said, Last year I cancelled my cable subscription to G4TV. Not because I did'nt enjot it but because I could DL the interesting parts as casts through MIRO. I also DL CNet, Revsion3 many adobe and photography cast not to mention all...
more...
- CL1PS
I would be willing to pay a few bucks a year...but honestly, TWiT's quality and appeal depends greatly on the guests. Unless you can let users have a more direct say in your panel lineup and/or topics discussed, I don't think it's fair to expect anyone to pay $1-2 each month. I mean, most people probably only listen to TWiT so it's unfair to make it out like each listener will ever take...

- Scott Carmichael
Leo, I will pay you whatever you want if you keep Loudmouth Calacanis off your show.
- Fleagle
Donating for your salary is a no brainer ,I'm happy to keep it up
- Randy Nacol
I'll pay double what the Calacanis haters will pay you to keep him off if you get him on at least once a month!
- Chris Heath
Calacanis is a smart fella, strong opinion but smart try to listen to twist sometime
- alex
I've tried all I care to. There are tons of 'smart' people out there, many of whom are much more pleasant to listen to than that tool.
- Fleagle
Well... that's just... like... your opinion... man
- Chris Heath
I'm on the same page as Scott, TWiT relies too heavily on Technolebrity personalities who for the most part really have only marginal knowledge of the matters at hand & b/c of time constraints can not explore the topics at hand. Forums and interaction are lacking, for they lay person, yes I'm sure it's interesting, but for a more precise knowledge of technology, the internet and answers...

Micromessage derivatives.
- Cliff Gerrish
Ken, if Twitter rolls out lists soon and allows that data to be passed to the API Twitter Times could leverage that automatically.
- Mark Krynsky
I want to see the principal that Twitter Times has released to be created on a wider scale. Imagine that logic expanded across multiple social media services and the people you follow on each of them. Then mash the data across all of them. It become far more interesting and useful at that point.

Gillmor Gang w/ Facebook's Bret Taylor on Tornado rerunning today 1PM Pacific http://www.building43.com/realtim...
Kol Tregaskes, Rob Michael (Atmos Trio), Robert Higgins and 17 other people liked this
Wondering about hosting for Tornado, Bret Taylor says you might need your own box. If only there were a hosting co. that focused on the real-time web.
- Cliff Gerrish
Bret said you could use EC2, but you will need more than the cgi access most PHP hosts give you - effectively need to run as root to have the python process listening on port 80.
- Kevin Marks
It's interesting to see a framework (Tornado) that takes the changed landscape of internet identity into account - bundles of identities.
- Cliff Gerrish
Well, it could do more there - talking with Bret they don't actually bind them themselves, but by building in support for multiple versions that is useful
- Kevin Marks
Seems like it's the first step in that direction. Now that Tornado has been open sourced, there's a path.
- Cliff Gerrish
Cliff: EC2 is nice, but expensive for a sandbox ($72 / month). Rackspace Cloud has 256 meg virtual servers that are about $11 / month. Great deal if you ask me. I had Tornado running in about 30 seconds on my RC VPS. The ability to programmatically clone servers with their API makes it a really nice place to launch something like a Tornado async app which could makes use of many low cost, low powered servers for dedicated connections.

Since Steve never seems to respond to download questions can someone be sure to record it and torrent it or such, I've never understood the whole "real time is the new black if you're not here to catch the show live tough shit" unspoken message that seems to have been going on for awhile. I can't be the only one put off by this, the content is compelling, so I put up with it, I wish I had the willpower to not listen out of protest. :)

Good to know Steve, I've seen the question asked so many times and never answered, I must have missed the time you did answer, my mistake, bottom line: I think the GG is the best thing on my ipod and when I can't get it on there and can't catch the show due to work it sucks. :)
- Michael Breslin
I commend Steve for his dogged pursuit of the Real time Web aka Infinity Chip, though it is brutally painful at times to follow and/or be part of every step along the way. I too vote for a nice simple "old school" rss feed for the audio only recording. Then again, I am probably missing the point.
- Jason Adams
Jason: only that the Gang is returning on video. Today I listened to a video cast of Meet the Press in the car, worked beautifully, and when I wanted to see the last few minutes of Kennedy footage, rewound and watched. Whether it is delivered by RSS or streaming is up to the user. In fact, it was easier to download directly via iPhone iTunes than synching the phone to the RSS feed on the Mac. Interestingly, it continues to download in the background while I go through email.
- Steve Gillmor
Was that Meet the Press video cast live? The issue of video versus audio is moot for me, if I don't feel like watching I don't have to, it's the time shifted aspect that people are always asking for Steve. It seems you're commited to get the show in downloadable form and that's all I was ever asking for. That the show is now in video format is great for many, I generally listen to the majority of content I consume (even if its format is video). Thanks again, can't wait for today's GG!

Rapper behind 'Roxanne's Revenge' gets Warner Music to pay for Ph.D - http://www.nydailynews.com/ny_loca...
Ubqtous, Franz Sittampalam, Dr. Apps and 48 other people liked this
"After two albums, Shante said, she was disillusioned by the sleazy music industry and swindled by her record company. The teen mother, living in the Queensbridge Houses, recalled how her life was shattered. "Everybody was cheating with the contracts, stealing and telling lies," she said. "And to find out that I was just a commodity was heartbreaking." But Shante, then 19, remembered a clause in her Warner Music recording contract: The company would fund her education for life. She eventually cashed in, earning a Ph.D. in psychology from Cornell to the tune of $217,000 - all covered by the label. But getting Warner Music to cough up the dough was a battle. "They kept stumbling over their words, and they didn't have an exact reason why they were telling me no," Shante said. She figured Warner considered the clause a throwaway, never believing a teen mom in public housing would attend college. The company declined to comment for this story."

Dr. Apps liked this
I know this is massively controversial and I really don't want to start a riot or a flame war, but for those of you who were/are uncertain about vaccines or skipped some/all of them, how did you decide?
Kim, Jason Huebel, Dr. Apps and Shevonne liked this
So far, at 7 months, Audrey hasn't had any. She's going to the pediatrician tomorrow and we plan to talk about possibly selectively giving her some. I have books and websites and I'm doing a lot of research but just can't quite decide. Any (helpful) input?
- Rochelle
We decided not to skip, but to go with a delayed schedule. Our 2nd kid gets all her shots 1 doctor's visit later (~6 months) than is generally prescribed. I know this isn't "vaccine-free" but it does give her immune system a chance to mature before having to deal with the vaccine.
- Steve "Daddy do it!" Lacy
I wanted to skip them, but they were in daycare centers, so I decided to get them. However, I found a pediatrician who was giving mercury-free vaccines.
- Shevonne
But I do want to add that we don't get flu shots.
- Shevonne
For those interested, according to the CDC website "Since 2001, with the exception of some influenza (flu) vaccines, thimerosal is not used as a preservative in routinely recommended childhood vaccines." http://www.cdc.gov/vaccine.... Just mentioning this since mercury came up. Thimerosol is the mercury containing preservative that was used in vaccines for years. Our pediatrician (as mist should be) is mercury-free, except for flu shots.
- Jen (SquirrelGirl)
from iPhone
I wonder when pediatricians actually started following that because years after that, there were issues with some of them having vaccines with mercury in it.
- Shevonne
Oh, and I think that the nasal flu vaccine, which our dr recently started doing, is thimerosol-free.
- Jen (SquirrelGirl)
from iPhone
We did a delayed schedule. I don't have an issue with the idea of vaccines, just the quantity/schedule they are delivered. Since my kids are not in daycare and can easily be quarantined, delaying was not an issue.
- Heather Solos
As of 2007, the Tripedia brand of DTaP still has mercury in it (0.3 mcg). It's considered "nearly mercury-free" since there is such a tiny amount in it so the CDC lets the company get away with it.
- Rochelle
A friend of ours begged us not immunize our children, but I'm convinced that the standard vaccine course (as required by preschools) is safe, and not linked with autism or anything else. I've seen zero ill effects from the vaccines in either of our children.
- Stephen Mack
Our kids have had their vaccines. I personally don't believe that vaccines are a significant factor in the development of autism in my oldest son. For our family, it's an inherited trait (I'm autistic, as well).
- Jason Huebel
Jake has had his all, but I spread out a few. It just seemed like too much for his little body. He was the type of baby to get the fever and be fussy for two days after. So, just because I couldn't watch him go through it every time we went in, I had them spread them out a little. He's doing well now and is big and strong. I'm glad I went with my concerned thoughts.
- Nurse Katie
I delayed, partly because my son was small, like Audrey. He still has only had DTaP so far. I feel good about not giving him the chicken pox one, because there are plenty of non-vax families around here so I was able to expose him to chicken pox early on and he had a very mild case. I think I will be giving him MMR before he goes to kindergarten, though. He is four now and it is definitely something I need to revisit.
- Laura Norvig
Thanks for your input, everyone. We've decided to do DTaP only, for now, and then consider others sometime down the road. Her appointment is at 11AM today, so fingers crossed that it goes well!
- Rochelle
We just got a host of vaccines on Friday for our 8wk old. Since we had our (nearly) 3yo she was able to get the nasal flu vaccine as well. We've got a good relationship with our pediatrician since he's been candid with our concerns, so after some discussion we're following his recommended schedule.
- Matt
We've skipped them all so far (8½ months).
- Aviv
Well, we did the one DTaP but may skip the others of the DTaP series because she's not really slept and has been super fussy since then. I don't know if the two thing are connected, but it sucks.
- Rochelle
I was just about to ask how it went. You know, I've heard of many such "coincidences", that I don't think they are all that random...
- Aviv
My kids will get all their shots, but I've never had a flu shot.

I made sure to show it to him up there every chance I had. Worked like a charm!

"Casper, which is 12 years old, boards the No3 service at 10.55am from outside his home in Plymouth, Devon, and travels the entire 11-mile route before returning home about an hour later. On the route, the cat passes an historic dockyard and naval base, a city centre, several suburbs and the city's red light district. He has been making the journey for so long that all First Bus drivers have now been told to look out for him to ensure he gets off at the right stop. Susan Finden (corr), 65, a care worker who is Casper's owner, said: "Casper has always disappeared for hours at a time but I never understood where he was going. "I called him Casper because he had a habit of vanishing like a ghost. But then some of the drivers told me he had been catching the bus. "I couldn't believe it at first, but it explains a lot.

Google is taking over the world.

Windows 7 on MacBook Pro: Nice, but still has poor battery life - http://news.cnet.com/8301-17...

"my best guess is this is because the Mac hardware is not optimized for Windows drivers. I hope that Apple (or Microsoft or hardware vendors) would look into this and make the MacBook, or any other Mac laptop, truly great platform for Windows 7. Other than that, Windows 7 has been working great on my MacBook Pro. After some anecdotal testing, it felt faster than the machine's original operating system."

LOL. Pretty obvious Apple handicapped their hardware to prevent people from buying MacBooks and running Windows on 'em 24/7. But then again, battery life isn't an issue for iMacs, Mac Pros or Mac Minis

my next machine will be a mac pro 4 win7

Why release Bootcamp if they didn't want people running Windows on their machines?
- Paul Grav
LANjackal, not only is your unsubstantiated claim that Apple somehow/ by-design/ knowingly crippled their machines for Windows "obvious," it is downright illogical. Apple makes its money primarily off hardware, not software, and so anything that'd make more people like /paulgrav buy their boxes "because it can also run Windows" would be of interest to them. Then again, there's the...

NB People like me don't run Windows on their Macs, at least not in bootcamp. But there are plenty of other Mac owners who do.
- Paul Grav
@ianf: Apple has a track record of "delaying" updates to its products to work properly with Windows. For example: iTunes/iPods cause problems on Vista for while after the latter launched. I didn't say that was a bad thing for them to do, I'm just saying it happens. Besides, the more people use a competing OS, the more likely they are to switch to it. Once they do that, they may decide...

Aren't we forgetting that Win7 isn't even on general release. Apple has plenty of time to update its Bootcamp drivers.
- Paul Grav
Paul, we aren't forgetting, but for the Windoze camp, where Announceware is practically a Done Deal, and Vaporware practically the norm of Redmond, Win7 is just as real now as it was when it first was presented as THE Vista-Facesaver.
- ianf ⌘
So you don't, for a moment, consider that perhaps Microsoftripe is designed that way, to run slowly elsewhere but on pure OEM devices, lest it turn out it is not the Seventeenth Wonder of the world?
- ianf ⌘
Hold on. Prior to Leopard, Mac owners could not run Windows in any form on their Macs. Leopard was released and included Bootcamp which allowed Windows to be run on Mac hardware. LanJackal, you're trying to say that Bootcamp and therefore Apple doesn't facilitate the running of Windows on Mac hardware?
- Paul Grav
Thanks for the insults. At least I made my points without being demeaning. That said, 1)Windows 7 is vaporware? Vaporware doesn't have official reviews since it doesn't exist ... 2)MS has officially supported Apple hardware in Windows 7 and other products for a while now: the iPod and its default formats are an example 3)RE: "facilitate", read what I said, it explains it clearly. There's a difference between simply "running" and "playing well"
- LANjackal

I don't understand what isn't 'running' fine or not 'playing well'. My personal experience of Bootcamp has been a positive one (until VMware borked my install).
- Paul Grav
@Holden. That's a question for a different thread. I'd rather keep this discussion on topic.
- Paul Grav
@Holden because then Apple would have to include (or convince manufacturers) to build drivers. Apple can be really nimble because they only have to support their own hardware. It's a brilliant model (as long as you're not too big and then the gov't would say you're a monopolist...).
- amygeek
LANjackal. But you're judging 'playing well' based on an unreleased OS!
- Paul Grav
Isn't that cute, the fanboi has an Apple character in it's username in case we didn't get the memo. What's funny is that it thinks somehow OSX runs better on x86 platform compared "legacy 'Windoze". ROFL. I remember hearing that same trite crap when the blessed OSX was running on PPC. Gotta love Fanboi's.
- Nemo
Let's put this 'problem' into perspective. It affects virtually no one!
- Paul Grav
Someone said that "Bootcamp" allows Windows to run on Apple Mac hardware. That's not true. You can take a Windows install disc and pop it into any Mac in the Apple store and it will install without Bootcamp. Bootcamp is just drivers and a front end to existing partitioning capabilities of OS X. It was adding BIOS emulation to the firmware on Macs that allowed Windows to run.

LANjackal. Neither Vista or XP are particularly battery friendly in the first place.
- Paul Grav
@Holden. I'd wait until Apple updates it's Bootcamp drivers, which it almost certainly will when Snow Leopard is released.
- Paul Grav
I don't consider the OS X EULA legally enforceable, so I think you can legally run OS X on any computer.
- Steve de Mena
from twhirl
Yeah. I thought one of the big reasons for upgrading to Win 7 was that it wasn't such a battery drain as XP and Vista were. I can't remember where I read about that but I try and dig it out.
- Paul Grav
I've no effing idea! But if the situation is still the same once Win7 is released AND once Apple officially begins supporting Win7, then Apple should be called out on it. I believe the hardware is more or less the as PC hardware. The machine will obviously not function if the drivers being used are not officially supported.
- Paul Grav
Oh dear, didn't take me long to find complaints about the bootcamp drivers :( http://discussions.apple.com/thread...

You should know better than to fare with such lies as "Apple LCD monitors can be adjusted only via OS X" - when all you want to say is that OSX Preference Settings are currently the only front-end tool to adjust the Cinema displays. Far as I know, there's nothing preventing other OEM manufacturers from writing bridge drivers for those purposes - only Apple has done their homework, and...

- ianf ⌘
Newsflash: the OEM who made a product is responsible for its drivers, not any 3rd party. The onus is therefore on Apple to provide proper, full drivers for their own devices on other OSes IF they want those devices to have full functionality, performance, capability and interoperability with other OSes. Notice the "IF"
- LANjackal

"responsible for its drivers" - my, that's tall words coming from a vocal advocate (I hesitate to call you fanboi 'cause it really means nothing) of a company that never can get its core OS act together.
- ianf ⌘
It bothers me on principle only, since I run Windows in Parallels. I hate rebooting. Oh, and my Fujitsu Tablet runs over 5 hours on battery. I use Vista, because we are not yet allowed to use 7 to access Exchange with Outlook and Communicator. I believe that means it outlasts my MacBook. Both are Core 2 Duo with 2GB of RAM. Of course, Apple only claimed that my MacBook would run on...

How To Hijack 'Every iPhone In The World' - http://www.forbes.com/2009...
Andy, Bill Sodeman, zsafwan and 7 other people liked this
If you receive a text message on your iPhone any time after Thursday afternoon containing only a single square character, Charlie Miller would suggest you turn the device off. Quickly. That small cipher will likely be your only warning that someone has taken advantage of a bug that Miller and his fellow cybersecurity researcher Collin Mulliner plan to publicize Thursday at the Black Hat cybersecurity conference in Las Vegas. Using a flaw they've found in the iPhone's handling of text messages, the researchers say they'll demonstrate how to send a series of mostly invisible SMS bursts that can give a hacker complete power over any of the smart phone's functions. That includes dialing the phone, visiting Web sites, turning on the device's camera and microphone and, most importantly, sending more text messages to further propagate a mass-gadget hijacking.

The obvious question is have these two clever dicks advised Apple of this potentially devastating flaw. Or are they going to wait until the worlds iPhones go dark and then say "Oh by the way....."
- Gilbert Harding
I see they have told Apple. But got no response. They actually expected a response from Apple? Plus similar flaws in Windows Mobile and Android. So this is not exclusively about flaws in the iPhone. They just thought they'd mention that in the headline to pump up the hits on the page.
- Gilbert Harding
They have gone to Apple in the past and Apple has listened to what they have said. I don't know why they aren't listening this time.
