The plugin, however, will only leverage one method for determining your location - Skyhook’s Loki technology, which uses WiFi to determine your location within a second and with an accuracy of about 10-20 meters.

I think they're doing a great job. A lot of so called smart people made stupid bets and now I'm supposed to make my grandkids pay for it. I think NOT! Suffering now will teach us to make wiser choices.
- Eric Lewis
I doubt every Congress man and woman has read the 100+ pages document. Many of them probably voted the same way as the people who sit next to them. It will be a miracle if we can get the bailout plan to pass.
- Harry Chen
Agree! Understand that they are pressed, but the comms around the dealings have left a lot to be desired.
- Josh Dilworth
FWIW, there is only one bill in which you can basically prove Congressman have read--the Intelligence funding bill. The reason? It's classified and Members have to sign in to read it. How many do? About 14 or so (believe it or not). I worked for Congress a few years back and always found that depressing.

What's the incentive to educate anyone when they KNOW the sheep will continue to vote them in and always vote Dem or Rep?
- Live4Emma (L4S)
Eric: the problem is your grandkids will pay for this anyway. What happens if you lose your job? Or your kids lose their jobs?
- Robert Scoble
@Robert: that's why we should stop having kids. :-)
- Harry Chen
@Robert: I don't have a "job". If I lose my source of income I adapt. Nobody bailed me out when I lost my house. Sure my grandchildren already own a piece of the national debt. But I will not vote $1 more on them.
- Eric Lewis
@Tadeu: I'm all for you avoiding pain, but don't pain my grandkids to do it. I agree with you on wars, but personal pain has taught me many lessons.
- Eric Lewis
Eric: but when everyone else is out of a job they get unemployment insurance. So, you just voted your kids more debt there too (and far more than $700 billion, especially if this goes on a long time).
- Robert Scoble
Robert: So I should steal from my grandkids to avoid others stealing more? You're making my head spin. I can only control me. I won't steal.
- Eric Lewis
Eric: here's the problem. Our entire economic system is based on credit now. You do realize that, right? How did I buy my car? Credit. How did the businesses I have worked for get money to hire people, buy realestate, etc, Credit. How did I get my house? Credit. So, if the credit system goes into meltdown (it's very close) then they stop loaning money to EVERYONE, not just "flakes." So, who built the Saturn car I bought on Credit? What happens to their jobs if we can't buy more cars?
- Robert Scoble
Eric: If the plan is put together wisely and executed well, taxpayers may actually earn money on this deal. No one is talking about giving away $700B. This is a loan. Worst case scenario is probably that we lose half of that. Most realistic scenario? We probably lose $100-200B.
- J. McConnell
If the economy melts down, then tons of people, even those who had good credit, get hurt. What happens then? We all go on unemployment. Your grandkids are going to pay a LOT MORE than $700 billion if that happens because when the economy melts down the jobless will be a lot longer and deeper. You have a chance to head that off now, but you are deciding to watch the entire economy burn, baby, burn. That is NOT prudent.
- Robert Scoble
@Robert: I don't understand paying off/guaranteeing the bad debts of bankers as being MY problem. I made some bad financial choices in my day and no one bailed me out. You take your chances, you pay the piper.
- Eric Lewis
Eric: you don't fund other people and other parts of the economy. These banks do. That's the error in your thinking.
- Robert Scoble
Robert: You're right, I don't. But they lost $1 Trillion. Who made the larger mistake in thinking? If I have a vote, I'm not rewarding that.
- Eric Lewis
Eric: the thing is, that's not what you're deciding now. Now you are deciding whether the entire economy burns because you want to punish those responsible. There are other people involved here. Get off of the punishment, it won't help you protect your grandchildren.
- Robert Scoble
Robert: I'm for punishment?! I'm sorry, from where I sit, loaning money to a losing gambler, because his kids might starve, is not protection I can believe in. I need a better explanation than that.
- Eric Lewis
Eric: you are thinking wrong. This isn't a person. It's a series of institutions that loan money to normal people like you and me. If they stop loaning money, WE HURT and the PEOPLE WHO BUILD STUFF FOR US HURT not them. You need to think about the whole economy, not just the jerks who got us here. The one who lit the fire isn't the one who is going to get burned. Put out the fire. Argue about punishment later.
- Robert Scoble
FYI, both D's and R's who voted No are from districts that are "in play." When they had to make a tough call that might hurt politically, they chose the safest path for reelection, not for the country.
- Andrew Feinberg
@Eric Lewis: Here is a great explanation of why this bill was important and was more than just bailing out a bunch of greedy bankers who made poor decisions: http://www.frontlinethoughts.com/article...
- J. McConnell
Curtis: we don't know if it'll work. It's like putting water on a fire. You know it will help and you continue putting water onto the fire until it's out. Andrew: exactly. They are willing to burn down the country so they can get reelected.
- Robert Scoble
Andrew: do you have a map that shows that? I want to put that on the top of my blog.
- Robert Scoble
Robert: You sure sound panicked. I am not. There will always be people with money who want to make more, by loaning to those with sure plans. I will not throw good money after bad.
- Eric Lewis
@Robert: I understand you believe credit will stop, but that's an opinion, not a fact. I'm hearing otherwise. Tightening yes, stoppage no. There are many who believe our grandkids will be *better* off if we ensure proper and last resort bailout is enacted. That both corporations and individuals should be held responsible. In many ways, America as a whole is responsible for not being more vigilant. I'm not the enemy, we simply have differing views on what is best and even brainy economists differ.

- Will DeLuca
AJ: well, nothing ever "stops" totally. True. I should use "major slowdown." But, either way, you are deciding to make the slowdown deeper and longer by not putting water on the fire. That's fine, but I wish we would put water on the fire instead of saying "burn baby, burn."
- Robert Scoble
Robert: There are also those who think the market will self-correct. Yes, it will be painful, but it will correct. I'm not sure about that, but like you, I don't know all the facts.
- Jim McCusker
Heck Pelosi couldn't even explain it to her own party members Nick 40% of the Dems didn't vote in favor of it. If she had done a proper Whip check in advance of the bill coming to the floor she would have known that and dealt with it.

- Mol, Time Warping
@Robert: I like that terminology far better because I think it's more realistic and doesn't feed into reptilian panic button response that actually helps create runs. I'm interested though, it will certainly make the slowdown deeper - that's pretty clear IMO - but I actually believe that means it will be shorter, not longer. [cont]

Im confused about this. For instance, I've noticed on many occasions where you basically say something like: "Come follow me over on FF, the conversation is over there". Isnt that the same thing? Trying to get people to come follow you? I dont mean to be critical, just trying to understand.

Somewhat relatedly, it's weird that I didn't think twice when Louis Gray asked us to digg a story for him. But in hindsight if it wasn't someone I knew, I would've considered it spamming/gaming digg. Interesting.

- Ontario Emperor
from fftogo
This is the spec for OpenMicroBlogging: http://openmicroblogging.org/ I don't think it works like that, Frans. The idea behind it, as far as my understanding goes, is that there's a protocol to allow you to write to identi.ca's data store, and eventually identi.ca will support other microblogging services that use the OMB protocol, but it's not federation.
- Mark Trapp
I'm pretty sure everyone's wishing, out of thin air, something that identi.ca is not. All it's really doing is implementing a standard like REST, JSON, or whatever; it's just standardizing the fields so you don't have to guess or rely on a specific API for each microblogging service. I guess you could federate based off of it being interoperable, but it's nowhere near that. For one, identi.ca is the first service that I know of that even implements OMB.

Bwana - You do a good job explaining the potential on your blog. Thanks
- Charlie Anzman
Suppose you have an account on server A and you want to follow somebody who created an account on server B. You can subscribe to the remote user, and your server (A) will contact server B to set up a remote sub. After that when the user on server B posts an item, it's also posted back to your server. Sync/decentralization is handled on a user-by-user basis.
- Ken Sheppardson
I'm sure Laconica looks very much like Twitter did two years ago when it was just starting out. Simple SQL tables on the back end, basic UI functionality, no API, etc. Twitter's had two years to work on this full time, and they haven't been worried at all about building a distributed network. I'm all for open source, but I'm skeptical. It's not obvious to me that a community-based effort can catch and pass a venture-funded, full-time team with two years of operational experience.
- Ken Sheppardson
Ken, you highlight two huge misconceptions of this hype: 1) it's not federated yet. It's not even close to federated. and 2) it's not a community project. To make changes you either a) have to get identi.ca to buy into it and push it to http://identi.ca, or b) fork the project and run your own instance. This isn't the power of the internet working against the machine. This is a locked-in cathedral style development. Only one party has access to the final release (the server on which identi.ca resides)
- Mark Trapp
Yay Mark! Yes, yes, yes. While anyone can GET the source code, any major changes have to come from a main hub for separate instances to work together. There's always this misconception of Open Source that it's this completely democratic process and anyone can just do whatever they want.
- Cyndy
Exactly, Cyndy! You have a huge problem open sourcing a software-as-a-service, especially one that needs to interact with all other copies of itself: there is no way to run a bazaar style development without compromising the security of the main distribution points. It REQUIRES a single development team controlling the project scope and direction. Maybe the guys that run identi.ca are the next Linus Torvalds or the next rms or esr, but the law of very large numbers suggests they probably aren't.
- Mark Trapp
What does that mean for everyone else? The exact same scenario as Twitter. One development team who contributes the vast bulk of the code that makes it into the final release. You're still at the mercy of the design decisions they make, and the preliminary reports about the nature of the code does not bode well.
- Mark Trapp
It seems very slow

I definatly think that Identi.ca is extremely slow in loading

- Cyndy
Bwana, I'm quick to shoot it down because a PHP app with a database back-end is going to end up as the same mess as Twitter. Adding the shiny "open source" tag doesn't make it any cooler OR more stable. It just makes Dave Winer happy to jump on the bus.
- Cyndy
@wolfsbayne you aren't being forced- you don't _have_ to use the service, CC is part of the feature set of the service- some people prefer freedom of content- and as always you still have the freedom of choice.
- Nathan Eckenrode
You're assuming way too much. My article's tone was simply to watch it because it's the first major effort that I know of that's open sourced and is testing the waters of OpenMicroBlogging. The point is not whether it'll fail or not, the point is that is taking a different direction. I stated many times that I don't believe open source or federation will automatically equal success. It's ok to use it and not be gung ho that it's going to kill anything.
- Bwana ☠
And yes if Dave Winer is happy, it'll get attention. Whether that's right or wrong is irrelevant to my point.

I don't know if they're going to break 5 million or whatever their goal is.. The clock started at 11:17 PDT I believe
- Bwana ☠
If they maintain the current rate of +/- 7500 downloads per minute globally, for 24hours they will double that. I would guess that as of right now, they have not spiked in downloads.
- cmiper
1 Million! And downloads seem to have picked up now.
- cmiper
Whoa...my counter went from 960k, to 1.5 mil... that thing is weird
- Bwana ☠
OK..and then it just jumped to almost 1.5 million?! Something wrong there.

It was a funny jump...this was one refresh (5 seconds?) then it jumped to 1.5mil. http://i31.tinypic.com/2pql3r7...

I've only downloaded the Mac version, but the md5 matches on both FTP and the link I provided above. Mac OS X md5: 27ff7989db6a206cdfc8989aca9f9283

I cant spot much differences between RC3 and the final version
- Palin Ningthoujam
There shouldn't be many differences. But so far so good on my system. Seems a little snappier and uses less RAM than earlier betas.
- Robert Scoble
excelent
- Ruben Llibre
Updated. Thank you, Firefox team. A vast improvement over FF2.
- Chris Baskind
Did it. Can I go home now? :)
- Naor Mark
is there somewhere (or some tool) to check compatibility with your addons? I don't want to have to go to each individual addons page and read the fine print.
- Tim Hoeck
Palin, the final release of FF3 is identical to RC3. No code changes whatsoever; it's the same package.
- Gregory Pittman

Linked to this from RWW - awesome! :)
- Sarah Perez
The welcome page says "Release Candidate 3" after I install from the Mac OS X dmg with an MD5 of 27ff7989db6a206cdfc8989aca9f9283. However, the about page says just "version 3.0".
- Fred Yankowski

- Varun Mahajan
The "about" page has said just "Version 3.0" for a while (or at least it does previous in RCs). I can haz actual release and not RC?
- Karim
Shawn, go to http://getfirebug.com. Under releases you can download beta 12. It works with 3. I'm not sure how stable it is, so, as with all betas, installer beware! They claim it to be stable.
- Joel Gray
...getting off topic here, but I've been using Firebug on FF3 for weeks and it's very stable.

yeah, i've been having a hard time getting the updated firebug for ff3. anyone have an alternative download link?

never mind, i just answered my own question. firebug for ff3 is available on the ftp servers too, in a different directory. go herE: ftp://releases.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/addons/1843/

Thank you very much.
- Kevin Porter
thanks for providing the link

Wow, that link made it much todo about nothing.

My Mac OS version also has MD5 27ff7989db6a206cdfc8989aca9f9283 - can someone confirm whether it's really final or RC3 (or provide an official confirmation that final == RC3)?
- Chester
For those wondering, the md5 of the Mac OS X download from getfirefox.com and the one I provided above match. Both are 27ff7989db6a206cdfc8989aca9f9283 Those are the official versions

In FriendFeed, how can I see items that only have comments or likes?
Roger Chen, Eric Ortega, Aviv and 6 other people liked this
And not my own, either. I want to view my friends items, but only ones that have comments or likes in FriendFeed.
- Robert Scoble
I believe such a filtering mechanism doesn't yet exist on FF
- Nathaniel Payne
I would definitely use that as a filter if I didn't have time to go through everything
- Paul Arterburn
You could use the 'hide' function and then under 'more options' you can chose just to display items with comments and likes - you would have to do that service by service, but if you just start with Twitter and work from there, it cuts down 'noise' very quickly.
- Frederic
Robert, are you starting post just messages in FriendFeed? Why not Twitter?
- Ian Betteridge
Ian: because this was a FriendFeed specific question and I know there's enough people following me here that I'd get a good answer fast.
- Robert Scoble
Frederic: that won't work. I want to see all Twitters sometimes. Other times I just want to see the ones with comments. Other times just the ones with likes. Weird that I can see my own that way, but I can't see your items that way. Sigh.
- Robert Scoble
We should make this easier, but it is not really possible right now. Sorry, Robert.
- Bret Taylor
Ian: it took 12 minutes to get an answer from Bret Taylor, one of the founders of FriendFeed. Like I said, no need to use Twitter anymore for some questions. :-)
- Robert Scoble
I see - that's difficult - there is a greasmonkey script that lets you filter by service (http://internetducttape.com/2008...) and Flow Control - once it's released - might help as well (http://ffapps.com/flowcontrol/). But they both only do parts of what you want to do...
- Frederic
Ha, you cunning social networker, you :)

Autofollow? I turned it off. It was done specifically by Twitter's engineers for some of us. You gotta talk one of the Twitter engineers into turning it on for you.

- Robert Scoble
For each service, click Hide then More Options. Then click to hide that service unless it has comments or likes.
- engtech
Verbose/Terse/etc... settings for FriendFeed? Can we have a switch to move between various custom-settable modes depending on our desire? Sometimes I just want a quick overview of major articles (e.g. only blog posts, no Twitters or Del.icio.us), sometimes I might want only photos, other times I might want to see everything because I'm browsing. For example (BLOGS only, Articles only, BLOG & Twitter, etc...) Also, with & without comments/likes/etc..
- Mitchell Tsai
FriendFeedMachine's Stream view lets you filter that way - via FriendFeedMachine
- Scott Goldie
You may use bTT; you may filter services directly from the tool; www.sobees.com/btt
- Vincent RITHNER
Thanks Jared, Scott & Vincent for the suggestions. I'm looking at them now. I was thinking not of a filter by service, but more of a customizable drop-down menu option on the right-hand side of my FriendFeed page; e.g. (1) Blogs & Articles & Del.icio.us, No comments/likes (2) Blogs only, No comments/likes (3) Blogs & Pictures, Yes comments/likes (4) Photos only, Yes comments/likes (5) Everything except Twitter, Yes comments/likes.

one thing i don't like about the friendfeed app is that updates to the newsfeed / mini-feed only show the FF logo. i'd prefer to see the source logo (e.g., delicious, flickr) than friendfeed's logo. that's one of the nice things i like about importing with facebook. that, and there's no extra app needed.
- mrshl
Yeah, also would be keen to ditch the FF logo in my feed.
- Samuel Bostock
Unfortunately, I don't think that their API lets us choose a logo (it just uses the app icon)

Facebook isn't offering many site feeds, surely RSS would have been a good start! ...via AlertThingy

Well, I think their primary concern is people importing RSS feeds that don't belong to them. Then again, Facebook DOES allow you to import your blogs already... so.. who knows.
