Well, for one thing it is a lot easier to engage in a conversation on FriendFeed and I especially like the idea that you can create a conversation based on any entry or content type posted to FriendFeed. Twitter is touted as more popular but the fact remains it isn't always that easy to track a conversation and the content types you can have a conversation about are severely limited to text and perhaps an image via the likes of TwitPic.

Yo Charbax, have you tried FF on Archos 5 yet?
- Nir Ben Yona
With clever filters, friendfeed real-time could support thousands of people chatting about the same topics at the same time, and filter it to have a meaningfull real-time overview on all topics and all people
- Charbax
@Charbax: I like that: "friendfeed is like ICQ for 21st century" ...that's a good start, but it's more than that and has more potential. just one opinion, of course. ;-)

@nir, I don't think netbooks scream quality either
- mjc
Michael: you should have seen my Asus N10 ;) but seriously, there's a big difference between reasonable stuff and crap. Arrington realized that with his tablet device.
- Nir Ben Yona
The major cost of the Android laptop is the screen. The rest is electronic peanuts
- Charbax
@Nir, I just don't see 1024x600 as usable for a non-mobile OS. also failure rates for netbooks are still pretty much unknown
- mjc
Michael: Very usable, besides video editing I literally do everything with this kind of resolution and have no probs. BTW, the N10 community has found a way to upgrade this resolution to 1024 X 768, but it really doesn't matter (except when it comes to games support).
- Nir Ben Yona
@Nir, what about the huge number of crappy windows apps and some Linux ones that assume you have at 768 or more vertical lines? there is a lot of that...
- mjc
yo!
- MikeAmundsen
Michael: I totally agree about the Linux issue, way too annoying. On the other hand, the number of windows apps that support X600 resolution is increasing and more adjustable than before, still a lot to improve though.

He was a tamed little kitteh for 6 minutes during that performance though.
- Scoble, Alex Scoble
Don't know enough about Cowell to make a value judgement on the man. Sometimes (and I don't know if this is the case with Cowell) the a-hole attitude is a public front. It's possibly the case with Gordon Ramsey, and it certainly is with Ann Robinson - I've been to a recording of 'The Weakest Link' at Pinewood Studios, and she switches 'bitch mode' on and off along with the cameras.

Seriously? This reeks of scripted viral. The show caught (online) fire in '07 with the Paul Potts audition...arguably the hottest shared video of the year.

I think I'm more or less alone in liking the new Google favicon. Yet I hate the new Pepsi logo (but of course, I hate Pepsi, being an Atlantan). There's something about the amorphous asymmetry that annoys me (yes, I know the Google logo is asymmetric as well, but it seems ok somehow).
- Joel Webber
I could learn to like the Google favicon, though the 'vibration' caused by putting bright green and red together, and the altogether Christmasy feel of the right side are hard to ignore.

I also like the new favicon (certainly far more than the lowercase blue-g version, at least). I think the middle image above actually looks more like a piece of the old Pepsi logo than the new one.

Great link between the images. Red and green, never thought of it but I made some observation, there's two sections of blue, which is a bit weird. And a lot of green compared to the yellow and red, probably to fit with those curves. (the bottom left corner of the upper part of the g)

im more annoyed by the change (for no good reason?) than the design. i was so used to the old favicon that for a long time after they changed to the blue one, it took me a few seconds longer every time i was going back to the google results tab in the browser, because i kept looking for the tab with the old favicon every time.

I actually kinda like the new Google favicon. At least more than the blue lowercase one. And maybe rather than 'like' I should say 'am used to,' since that was the extent of my feelings towards the initial Google favicon, too. I didn't particularly like it. I was just used to it, cuz it was the capital G. That's it.

Also, I don't think that design is good if and only if it's polarizing. I don't even know that I think that there is a causal relationship in either direction. I could get behind the idea that there is a correlation, but I've seen plenty of designs that are universally thought of as great (no polarization needed).

Yes, the favicon is awesome.
