FFundercats: Episode 59 Chat Room!... - FFundercats Podcast

About time! - Steven Perez

Please keep Johnny informed as to success potential. - Louis Gray

What do you hear, Jeremy? - Louis Gray

Yo. - Louis Gray

No video I believe - Louis Gray

isn't video a major hassle with aussie bandwidth constraints? - bear (aka Mike Taylor)

Check Check. Is this thing on? - Micah from iPhone

Why the new URL? - Spidra Webster

Hey everyone - Mol, FF Music Lover

who's talking? - Vezquex

Just me, raphaeL. :) - Louis Gray

Hey Louis & Johnny - Mol, FF Music Lover

<3ing TWiT's coverage - Mol, FF Music Lover

I love the Lanovo Netbook/tablet - Mol, FF Music Lover

the innovation is happening in the laptop and network streaming areas - bear (aka Mike Taylor)

<3ing Dr. Kiki!!!! - Mol, FF Music Lover

Any issues with audio over there? - Louis Gray

Thanks, Jeremy. Johnny is cutting out for me. - Louis Gray

cutting out for me as well. - Rah-PM 2012

Well, I thought it was my connection. - Rah-PM 2012

Of course booth babes scale. From 3' to 8'. - Spidra Webster

Can you hear me now? - Steven Perez

Louis is being very choppy - Mol, FF Music Lover

Johnny Down Under! - Louis Gray

Louis said my name...just saying. LOL - Rah-PM 2012

You guys actually sound ok given what types of crap you're going through - Rah-PM 2012

Actually, Johnny sounds fine. Louis sounds like a Dalek. - Steven Perez

Okay - Mol, FF Music Lover

i'm going thru that now - switching from iphone to nexus one - bear (aka Mike Taylor)

I could almost swear I read something on Black Web 2.0 a while back about a company trying to do what you're saying, Louis. - Rah-PM 2012

I've come to the owning your data conclusion as well. - Vezquex

there are companies that are offering data *backup* strategies - bear (aka Mike Taylor)

Ah, I was thinking of Cyber Synchs http://www.blackweb20.com/2008... - Rah-PM 2012

even if you only own 1 computer you will be upgrading/replacing that computer every 2-3 yrs - so now in 2 years how will you migrate that data you have collected in 2 years - bear (aka Mike Taylor)

Backup schmackup - Louis Gray

If they steal your computer, it matters less, Jeremy. If they steal your ID, the same as it is now. - Louis Gray

the majority use yahoo mail and hotmail - Vezquex

Computer upgrades are a pain. Computer switching is a pain. Now, mobile switching is a pain. - Louis Gray

I'll check that out, Mr. Rah. - Louis Gray

Don't I know it, Louis. I'm currently using my old computer because my new one is on the fritz, but I have still avoided moving anything over because it's a huge PITA at this point. - Rah-PM 2012

This conversation keeps making me think of Chi.mp. All it would need to do is combine with something like DropBox and maybe a little Google Docs on the side. Of course, you still don't own your cloud.... - Rah-PM 2012

<--is here just doing something at my friend at FB - Mol, FF Music Lover

I thought Louis said "Frenchie" when he was saying "FriendFeed". - Spidra Webster

Chi.mp? Really? #gag. :) - Louis Gray

I so don't get chi.mp - Louis Gray

Yeah. Echo really messes me up. I totally sympathize, Johnny. - Spidra Webster

LMAO! It's the concept of Identity you keep talking about. Your Chi.mp URL is your key to all your stuff via OpenID - Rah-PM 2012

Let's talk about it sometime Rahjihistan. :) - Louis Gray

Not saying it's the actual solution :) - Rah-PM 2012

...well, not at this point. - Rah-PM 2012

Ah, most definitely, Louis :) - Rah-PM 2012

Yeah, but that's grue of tech in general. If I wanted to switch from Mac to Windows I'd have to buy a shitload of new apps. - Spidra Webster

So, Louis. How do you envision writing into a personal data repository? - Vezquex

What we're talking about. Isn't it just the whole lock-in profit model that has made companies money forever? - Rah-PM 2012

I saw the Nexus on the CES TWiT coverage and me want - Mol, FF Music Lover

LOL - Rah-PM 2012

raphael - it would have to be an oauth protected web resource that you access via REST or some other api endpoint - bear (aka Mike Taylor)

Yes, Spidra. So let's change the game. :) - Louis Gray

That sounds kinda hot, Mike - Rah-PM 2012

Where is it actually stored, though? - Rah-PM 2012

it could be cloud based with a sync to your local drive - depends on how techy you are - like a wordpress blog - bear (aka Mike Taylor)

My thing is, unless the server is in your house, your cloud is still owned by someone else, so you might as well use Google, Dropbox, or any of the other thousands (millions?) of services out there. If the server *is* in your house...meh. That's not a cloud :) - Rah-PM 2012

but once there is an api and open data standards then anyone can sync anywhere using any service based on price and features - bear (aka Mike Taylor)

<--is listening sorry for not participating much tonight - Mol, FF Music Lover

No prob, Molly. I am participating, but not listening. - Louis Gray

louis - what about the android devs who still have not received the latest version of the SDK - that seems to be a non-google behaviour - bear (aka Mike Taylor)

Hi, y'all. I'm late. - Just your basic LB

Mike, I don't claim to be an expert on that. I'll look at it. - Louis Gray

Hi Laura! - Louis Gray

Is this pre-recorded? Otherwise I have no idea how you can be paying attention to Johnny's questions and chatting, LG. Unless it's just your BIG BIG BRAIN. - Spidra Webster

My dad has a new android touch screen of some kind and he usually just leaves it in the car in the garage. I'm so jealous. I don't even have a data plan on my T-Mobile Dash. - Rah-PM 2012

Hi, Louis. :) - Just your basic LB

Hey, Laura! :) - Rah-PM 2012

iPhone and NOT-iPhone. Makes perfect sense :) - Rah-PM 2012

there are now 3 phones: blackberry, iphone and android - bear (aka Mike Taylor)

Hi, Rah. :) - Just your basic LB

After watching the podcast of the CES coverage on TWIT I want a Nexus and a Lanovo duel laptop/tablet - Mol, FF Music Lover

and they cover the 3 distinct phone user groups - bear (aka Mike Taylor)

Me too, Molly. That laptop is awesome. - Rah-PM 2012

Spidra, the chat is pre-recorded. - Louis Gray

Haha! Everybody give Louis the Turing Test! - Spidra Webster

Louis hails from the pre-crime unit. ;) - Micah

Free Twitter for 3 months? :) - Louis Gray

Hey guys . . . - Auntie Buttinsky Botts

I MADE 20 LARGE A MONTH WITH ALMOST NO EFFORT. SO CAN U. - Micah

I JUST LAY BY THE POOL ALL DAY WORKIN ON MUH TAN WHILE MILLIONS OF PEOPLE CLICKED MY JUNK AND FILLED UP MY BANK ACCOUNT! I HAD TO OPEN A WHOLE NEW ACCOUNT CUZ IT WAS FUUULLLL!!!! - Rah-PM 2012

I know some people in the Tenderloin who make bank by having people click their junk. - Spidra Webster

I know people that love Verizon. - Rah-PM 2012

I would leave AT&T and take my iPhone with me the first opportunity - AND my daughter and I are the sorts who stood in line to upgrade last June. - Auntie Buttinsky Botts

here in Philadelphia area AT&T, Verizon and T-Mobile all are very good - bear (aka Mike Taylor)

My fiance and all her fam have Verizon. They have VCast and stuff and can get on the "Internet" and download songs instantly and whatever. I don't really notice them having issues. - Rah-PM 2012

The phone just doesn't ring in the first place. - Auntie Buttinsky Botts

Exactly, Mary. Straight to voicemail. - Louis Gray

Internet is actually very good, and I can always get my texts (SMS). - Auntie Buttinsky Botts

I used to love T-Mobile, but our phones don't work in our home and they don't care. So Eff them.We are in a virtually dead area for them. - Rah-PM 2012

Did Johnny just mention living next to a bush and then mention something firm in the next sentence? 0_o - Louis Gray

MaryB, Louis - holy! That happens to me all the time on Rogers / my 1st Gen iphone - straight to voicemail when I staring at my phone waiting for it to ring. - Micah

the iPhone works just fine for people in Europe also - because they don't have the cell phone mess we have in the US - bear (aka Mike Taylor)

Yes, Louis, very impressive when I have relatives or clients trying to get hold of me and they KNOW the thing is in my pocket andI'm waiting for their call. - Auntie Buttinsky Botts

True, bear. So much of our problem in the states is due to the anti-consumer policy of tying hardware to a certain provider. - Spidra Webster

I've experienced that but I was alone :( - Rah-PM 2012

johnny's stadium issue is the same as what the SanFran folks experience - higher density of smart phone usage - bear (aka Mike Taylor)

What constitutes a private cloud, though? - Rah-PM 2012

My wife now has an Android phone on the same network (Rogers). So far, it's never not rung. It's early, so we'll see. - Micah

The iFloorWax - Micah

iFlat - Rah-PM 2012

iCaramba - Spidra Webster

she turned me into an iNewt! - Vezquex

here is my prediction for the who-knows-what is coming on the 27th: iView - bear (aka Mike Taylor)

iAye - Micah

Louis is a grump. - Louis Gray

iLouis - Micah

Rahsheen, it's my data that I can access, and give services permission to, but you can't get to. - Louis Gray

iGrump on bad days. - Micah

It's owned by me and by no company. - Louis Gray

info overload in one topic is always a recipe for grump - it's like a sudden loud noise - bear (aka Mike Taylor)

It has to be hosted somewhere, though....right? - Rah-PM 2012

Honestly, if we stopped speculating, blogs would be a LOT more useful for me. I won't name names, but daamn...it's ridiculous. - Rah-PM 2012

rahsheen - it only has to be hosted in the cloud if you want to use it from other places than your home network - bear (aka Mike Taylor)

brb- dinnertime - - Auntie Buttinsky Botts

LOL - Spidra Webster

is this where are the cool kids hang out? - Bubba Botts

<---thinks Kevin Rose is cute :) - Mol, FF Music Lover

Yep! Welcome, Bubba! - Just your basic LB

Thanks. - Bubba Botts

If I can't see it from anywhere, it's not really a cloud...is it? - Rah-PM 2012

computers have gone mainstream - so that means that the mainstream behaviour will influence what happens in the computer realm - bear (aka Mike Taylor)

People send me embargoed stuff about products all the time and I only honor them because I'm a nice guy, but I don't understand why they bother telling me so early if the product isn't ready. Especially given the near real-time nature of blogs these days. - Rah-PM 2012

surely it's always going to be the person who broke the story who broke the embargo? - WoH: Minding her Botts

Hi Micah! :) - WoH: Minding her Botts

Rah, it's because they trust you and they like your abs. - Louis Gray

It's too bad that it's more about who gets the scoop than who writes the substantive story. - Spidra Webster

Why, hello, there Higlet :) - Micah

LOL! - Rah-PM 2012

Hmm, there's been a few trust fails this week (thinking of the Vanity Fair fail) - WoH: Minding her Botts
