Hmmm, no DVD playback support but then...who uses DVD's anymore? - Erica Baker
Pshaw. I have friends and people I interact with. None of this follower business, I'm nobodies leader. - Erica Baker
Interactions should be qualitative vs. quantitative. Whats the use of have X number of friends on FriendFeed if the interactions are useless or worse yet, not happening at all? - Erica Baker
Online conversations are a bit complicated.. since you can't keep track with for example 10000 followers. - Muthu Ramadoss
Which is why one should have friends and not followers. :) - Erica Baker
Well darn if I am not breaking my rules right and left but FOAF has now exposed me to your stream and now I have subscribed to your friend stream. Please do not disappoint. ;) - Mathew A. Koeneker
It is rare that I agree with every word of a TechCrunch article. This is one of those times. This reminds me to set my voicemail number on my Crackberry to my GrandCentral number. BTW if you're a friend of mine and you don't have a GrandCentral account, that's a problem that we need to take care of. Email me. - Erica Baker
Done and done. The call forwarding (voicemail) number on my crackberry is now my GrandCentral number. GrandCentral sends me a text message telling me i have a new voicemail and also sends a recording of the voicemail to my email address. Very nice. - Erica Baker
I wanted to do the same thing but Sprint charges 20 cents a minute for "forwarded" calls. Weak. (oh, you're on sprint? _there's_ your problem!) - Joseph Wain
Wait what? 20 cents a minute for forwarded calls? So it charges you for your voicemails too since thats all a voicemail is essentially. - Erica Baker

“Oh. My. God. My 12 year old niece has a myspace account. I need a drink.”
Er, doesn't every teen have a myspace? This is news?! :D - Adam Lasnik
Lol not news just mortification. I've seen what teenage girls do with MySpace accounts and it ain't pretty. Here's hoping my niece has better sense than most (I think she does). - Erica Baker
eh ? did not MYspace - TOS forbid children below 14yrs of age to have an account ? Secondly, if I may recollection serves me, the person responsable is actually the parent(s) !! -- not sure, can any1 confirm this 'hearsay' ? - Peter Dawson
LOL TOS. Hahaha! They aren't doing ID checks to make sure people under 14 aren't on myspace. I don't know about you but a large part of my personal teenage existence was getting away with stuff that my parents either didn't like or didn't know about. - Erica Baker
"(a) all registration information you submit is truthful and accurate; (b) you will maintain the accuracy of such information; (c) you are 14 years of age or older; and (d) your use of the MySpace Services does not violate any applicable law or regulation. Your profile may be deleted and your Membership may be terminated without warning, if we believe that you are under 14 years of age." http://www1.myspace.com/index.... - Peter Dawson
Right. That's why 12 year olds lie and say they're 20 (like my niece did). - Erica Baker
Erica, the point in making is that if something foul happens to your niece , parental responsibility kicks in. They become accountable for the actions of the kid/daughter. Albeit, as I have delivered the above facts, you too have become an accomplish to these misdemeanor's :)- - Peter Dawson
Uh what something foul are you talking about? I'm talking about little girls being snarky, posting inappropriate photos etc... - Erica Baker
LOL, I suppose how many accounts does she have? And back in my day Playboy magazine was only for 18+. Uh huh, surrrrre. Don't be an accomplish. /smirk. - Eric Rice
wow, precocious, she already learned to lie about her age (you have to be 14) :( (spoken by someone who used to administer a youth-oriented site...) - Andrea
Andrea - "she already learned to lie about her age (you have to be 14)" - does this mean that you have to be 14 o lie about your age ? :)- - Peter Dawson
"This is just a friendly reminder that we have a process in place for releasing Google owned code as open source. This process is detailed at http://[blah].
I’ve seen people (presumably from higher overhead companies) who seem to think they need more permission than our process says they do. You don’t.
The process is very simple (i.e. usually involves sending a few emails), and the time between being us being emailed and you being able to release the code averages < 24 hours (worst case is about a week if you are doing something insane)." - Erica Baker via Bookmarklet
In my experience, it still seems to take years, because people spend forever "cleaning up" and "refactoring" the code before release. - Paul Buchheit

works slick. iphone predictive typing + gtalk = really embarrassing auto corrections. looking forward to the hilarity. - Ginger Makela
Ginger, amen to that. The predictive talking makes some odd choices. My wife's name is Jen, so often I end up writing "I Love Men." jen=men doc=dog and many other fun rewrites. On the otherhand it does capitalize the i for me. - RAPatton
Anyone noticed the irony? *chat* on a *phone*? Chat used to mean talk, not type. Chat is all I ever used to do on a phone... - laurence timms
Unix has had a program called 'talk' since the '80s which is essentially instant messaging or chat. Imagine how confusing that term would be on a phone. Oh wait, it's called Google Talk.... - Chris White

This utility, developed by our information security engineering team, is designed to transparently analyze legitimate, browser-driven interactions with a tested web property and automatically pinpoint, annotate, and prioritize potential flaws or areas of concern.
The proxy analyzes problems such as cross-site script inclusion threats, insufficient cross-site request forgery defenses, caching issues, cross-site scripting candidates, potentially unsafe cross-domain code inclusion schemes and information leakage scenarios, and much more." - Erica Baker
