Petr, I have no idea what you mean, but thank you. :-) - Kol Tregaskes

@Kol .. :] that, partially, might have been the purpose.... I don't know it exactly either. :] .. was I reflecting on a cat under the fax, and that it is hard to fax that way ... /?:] ... "underfaxing at its worst" .. - Petr Buben

Ah, OK, Petr. :-) - Kol Tregaskes

oh ... a scan. not fax?! .... it looked to me like she was faxink - Petr Buben

Just 5 more likes needed. ;-) - Kol Tregaskes

Try rolling the cat through a press first. Flat cats fit into the fax easier. - Bob Blunk

Fax, Petr. :-) - Kol Tregaskes

even a flat cat... faxes just can't handle the hair. You'd have to shave the cat first, else the hair will burn and stick to the drum... a mess! (I am extrapolating from transparencies, mind, i don't have access to a cat to test) - Joelle Nebbe (iphigenie)

Hehe, Joelle. This is now tied for the 'likes' top stop. One more then, hehe. :-) - Kol Tregaskes

I couldn't believe it when I logged on from the morning over posting it and saw it was at something 200 likes! You all have a strange fetish with cats and fax machines, hehe. ;-) - Kol Tregaskes

Am I the only one who saw this and their first thought was - My goodness did someone break that cats neck? It still freaks me out a little - Steve C

Steve, it does look a little out of place, but cats are pretty bendy. ;-) - Kol Tregaskes

They fax much better if you flatten them first. What? - Kevin Pedraja

LOL, Kevin. - Kol Tregaskes

i can also imagine the cat going there cause it is snug and warm - Joelle Nebbe (iphigenie)

Ey, it would be a tad warm on there, especially after a long working day. ;-) - Kol Tregaskes

Hi Léo - dstamand

Leo, I listened to the Gilmor Gang before they were on TWiT. I have learned that you have to take what they say with a grain of salt. - archaictree

Who's on the show this week? - Bryan McAffee

I was thinking of installing win 7 RC but have decided against - David

Anyone else watch Carpool? Heard Leo is the next guest, filming Weds, according to Robert Llewellyn - worth looking out for if your are a LL fan. http://www.llewtube.com is where it will be found, among other places. - Bigrac

I have been following since call for help i love this interaction. http://www.nidoapps.com or see my first app http://itunes.apple.com/WebObje... - NidoApps

Leo seems really HYPED and fast talking today, more than normal. Whoa! at least through KFI it seems faster. - David

I have a really old hp/compaq nc8000 and windows 7 runs great, the only driver I had issues with is the sd card reader, otherwise everything else works great - Brian Tiede

@David why did you decide against Win 7 RC1 - Mike

im running win 7 on an old AMD 2700+ with 768MB ram. Surprisingly runs well - Mike

I have noticed a few little bugs, but I am hoping that they will go away with the final version - Brian Tiede

Why can't we hear the person on the phone? - Iestyn Lloyd

Caller audio is muted at request of the radio stations. - archaictree

Oh! Guess I'll listen to the podcast then. Bye - Iestyn Lloyd

psst... caller audio available on Ustream (don't tell anyone though, OK? this is just between us...) - Thomas James

great thanks - Iestyn Lloyd

@Thomas James: Leo reads the feed :) - archaictree

I know. Leo is actually aware that it comes through on Ustream, but I think it's too complicated to rewire the system so it doesn't (for the time being, at least...) - Thomas James

Of course, if I could listen on the radio I would, but all the US stations block their streams for Canadian IP addresses. Leo needs to get on more stations up here (only one so far, I believe). - Thomas James

Leo, I have a problem! I have just installed Windows 7 RC (I don`t have the taskbar icons combined, I uncombined them) and I also installed Windows Live Messenger, When I open Live there are two icons, one that says Windows Live Messenger, and one that says my user name (my status) when I close the Live windows (but still have it running) the Windows Live Messenger icon goes away, but the one that shows my name (my status) is still there. How do I get rid of that? - Dakota O'Neill

Hi Leo. I'm a recent switch over to a Mac. I was wondering if it was beneficial to partition my hard drive like I would in Windows to have all my data in one partition and all my os files and apps in another? Any suggestions? - Derek

COOL BIKE LEO - mark

You should download from trusted sites. I recommend http://www.download.com or http://www.majorgeeks.com - archaictree

Leo, Microsoft offers VB.net Express free. http://www.microsoft.com/express... - archaictree

Good description of hard drive size measurements Leo. 1024 is the key to explaining the issue. - Chris Heath

When I got that error, I tried restoring on a different computer, my laptop, and that worked. - Matthew

I've been using the KMPlayer on Patrick Norton's recommendation for a few months now Leo. It's basically like VLC but a bit better to me in the UI department. (I don't think I've tried the new VLC yet though) - Chris Heath

DFU is hold the home and power button for 10 secs, and then let go of power and hold on to home for about 8 secs - Matthew

"Some of the new features that have been added to Open Office 3.1 are antialiased drawings to smooth the edges of graphics, replying to notes, improved grammar checking, hyperlink management and sorting, control of slideshow media, macro support for Open Office Base, relative database paths, better internationalization for Hebrew and Arabic plus performance improvements (read our Speed up Open Office article for even more tips on how to improve the speed and performance)." - Kol Tregaskes from Bookmarklet

Nice! - YungSang from FriendFoo

I've been using OpenOffice on all of my new computers for the past 1+ years. I absolutely hate Office 2007's UI! - Jeff P. Henderson

I'm a MASSIVE fan of openoffice - It does everything I need and the support community are fantastic. - Jim Connolly

Brilliant! - Niklas Pivic

Nice, I use this at home a lot but do run into some problems porting it over to Word regarding footnotes, hope thats fixed in this version - Mark Edmondson

I don't know about you guys, but I like Office 2007 UI. I find it to be very easy to navigate and use. OpenOffice feels like MS Office's ugly brother, but I am sure it will get better in time. - Artem Daniliants from IM

please tell me when am I getting the ribbon UI? - Lakshman Prasad

I'm with Artem above. MSO2K7 FTW. MS is miles ahead of OO.o in terms of UI. It's worth paying for IMO. - LANjackal

O2K7's ribbon UI is really, really confusing for people who've grown up with 2k3 and prior. I can understand that for many tasks it can be faster over time, but I see people all over my school and various offices who bumble through the menus every single time even after 2 years of use. That + .docx etc. in environments where you can't install the compatibility pack = angry users - mjc

did they add the view/outline with complete features? Is the only reason I still use Word....I am ready to switch if they did - bonuck (e gli associati?)

thanks for the hint. Time for another huge download, I assume - Thorsten Matzner

Thorsten, I guess. I remember I had to download the whole thing last time they released any update. :-( - Kol Tregaskes

I've sworn off menus thanks to the ribbon in MS Office 2007. It's so much easier to find and remember where functionality is than in 2K3, it's not even funny. - Chieze Okoye

Cool! This means that the Mac port NeoOffice is going to get even better! It has worked well for me since last August, and has never crashed or caused anyone using MS Office to see any weird formatting from my end. UI-wise, iWork is just splendid though, and I'm going to ante up for the full paid version rather than the 1 month trial one of these days. - Siddharth Deb

Love OO. Just want them to have a version of publisher. - Jen (SquirrelGirl)

I love Open Office...Well open source-period. But those guys have allowed me to be a professional without having to rely upon MS. Thanks for letting us know about this, I plan to head over and download mine this week! - Benin Brown

Quite possibly, the strangest thing I have ever read from a Fox News source. And that is saying something. - Steven Perez from Bookmarklet

57 more comments

meh, that's so last-week. ;p - Andrei M. Marinescu

Nice of her to follow at least 11 of them - Patrik Johansson

Was it ever a bfd? - phil baumann

If it was someone actually participating then yeah it'd be a big deal. But Oprah? not really. Its impressive if someone shoots some video on a Flip and posts it on Vimeo and gets a million views. But a million people watching CSI? not so much - William Kapes

It's like collecting grains of sand. - Todd Hoff

Maybe if she followed half of them back it would be a story. - Kenya

In other news, Dog bite Man - Big K

I agree with @kenyaoa, would be news if she followed back and joined in the conversation. For Oprah, twitter is just another bullhorn. - Jon Winters

Cause she is only following 11 people out a million. Just shows how stuck on her self she is. - orionstarr

Orion, Twitter makes that very hard for someone like that. We have a few accounts like that on SocialToo, and Twitter only returns follower data for them 1 in every 30 times, and even then gives huge problems. And then there's the "you can only follow 1,000 people per day" issue Twitter causes. Oprah would never ever be able to follow all those following her at the rate they are following her. - Jesse Stay

Actually she got most of those followers NOT because she's Oprah, but simply because she is on the recommended follower list. That's why this is not a big deal. If you get a million organically on Twitter that STILL is a very big deal. Only a handful of people have gotten to 100,000 organically. Twitter really screwed up the importance of follower numbers. - Robert Scoble

It stopped becoming a big deal when the web celebs were getting SMOKED by tv/movie celebs - Jeff Smith

What's different about her Twitter stream than a press release or her website? That's another thing that bugs me about these celebrities on Twitter. - Trish R

Jeff: that's actually not true. The reason they are smoking us is because of the recommended follower list. Mike Arrington had fewer followers than I did before he got put on that list. Today he has 500,000 just a couple of months later. - Robert Scoble

it just seems twitter has changed, celebs use it because it is a fad i feel. When twitter to me used to mean direct communication with people of all types. celebs or not. right? - orionstarr

Yesterday I was watching some news network the anchor was like... I need to get my twitter up and tweet. It was just kind of pathetic IMO. - orionstarr

yeah, getting organic followes of 1M is a graet achievement. But, the pity is that they are back into the pits..as the person is on a one way tweetstreet.. some foo diffierent media - Peter Dawson

TechCrunch wrote about it... ha - Elliott Klug

But, if you don't follow her, you don't see her tweets assuming there are any, and a news piece like this, if indeed it really is news in the real sense of the word, is the only way you get hear about it, what's the big deal? And apologies for the overly long sentence there. - Gilbert Harding from BuddyFeed

Thanks for the credit MG :) - Benjamin Golub

Best just to block Oprah. - Thomas Hawk

Hurray. So. Any real important things happening in the world? ;) - Ruud van Wijngaarden

sort of like twitter being down now, not breaking news on. - carolynn kutz

Totally agree with Jeff Smith, but to be fair, the web celebs got right back to where they were here on Friendfeed, so there's no use crying about it, is there;-)? - Brandon Mendelson

Gilbert: in Twitter search you see everyone, including spammers, bad actors, and celebrities and you can't remove any of the above. To me Twitter search is more important now than the people I'm following. - Robert Scoble

Agree with Robert. As I followed more people and got used to "noise", I find Twitter search very interesting because I can "shape" the streams I'm looking for. - phil baumann

Ari - 2? - phil baumann

TechCrunch head Twitter writer MG has a story about Oprah passing 1 m Twitter followers. - Allen Stern

No big deal!! its the big O so what - Jose Luis Santos

Big O Nothin'. - Rudy Amid

Its all about 1 Billion Followers now! - Nicholas James

@techcrunch posted a blog about it today. - Jason Pollock

Wow, she follows all of 11 people. - Mike Roberts

meh - Giancarlo Caparo

Thats 24,000 followers for every update she's posted. I think i have the inverse ratio! - Jamie Vidamour

Robert Scoble: I totally agree with you on that. But the whole follower race got a lot less talk once the tv/film celebs showed up. I remember on TWIT it was always a point of conversation, who was where in the rankings. But once Twitter blew up on the celeb front that talk quickly died. I think it was you who said it best though, it's quality not quantity. I'd never be able to have this debate with Oprah, but you're still part of the community. Even with 80K + followers. - Jeff Smith

Yes and I agree with Jeff Smith, not to mention Oprah would have to quit her day job if she were to actually weed through those one million in search of the non-spamming, non-auto DMing, actual daily users of twitter. Quality is definitely harder to find than quantity in followers. - Shelly Gullen

No it's not a big deal for someone with the media power of Oprah, but it would be a huge deal if you were one of the 11 she's following! - Fred von Graf

For celebs this just another tool to get "their" message out. Could have been an email list as well. Twitter and the social applications are meant for two-way, community conversations (at least some of the time). Twitters that are just pushing out links to press releases or blog postins are using the tool for their own prurpose, not the community. Follow if you wish. Right now there is not much of a conversation. - Elwin Witzke

Is anyone surprised about Oprah having 1 million Twitter followers? I am not in the least. What would you expect? - Lester Greenberg

She should follow more people. Discussion anyone? - Eric @ CSTechcast.com

It's in keeping with the short attention span that Twitter fosters; yesterday's news, moving on. - Paul Chaney

I wish there was a dislike button because I would click it. - Gabe Diaz

She doesn't really post anything useful in her updates and she doesn't update that often. Maybe that's why? - Kimberly Cooley

Is a million really that many? show me a trillion followers and I'll be impressed. - j1m

Robert :" in Twitter search you see everyone, including spammers, bad actors, and celebrities and you can't remove any of the above." True. You can't help but see everything in a Google web search either. But you don't have to go to and read all the results. You the user are selective. Sometimes that's easy, and sometimes it isn't. These discussions about Twitter and it's users, celebrities or otherwise, are bordering on the "we're better than you are" territory. Are we? Really? - Gilbert Harding

Gilbert: wrong. In Google I have a choice to click the next page. In Twitter? I can't separate out the good stuff from the bad stuff on http://search.twitter.com -- in real time search you've got to have metadata to be able to filter. Twitter doesn't have it. Friendfeed does. - Robert Scoble

Good for Friendfeed Robert, but the metadata is in your head. Sometimes you just have to use it. - Gilbert Harding

Gilbert: very funny, but it's very easy to demonstrate how crappy Twitter's search is and how full of spam it is. You'll get there someday when you're trying to find a tweet you know exists and you can't get back to it. Then you'll remember what I told you about metadata and you'll come here and find that tweet. - Robert Scoble

Robert: Just making a point. Sometimes with all this technology at our disposal we forget to use our brains. Twitter search may be rubbish, I haven't had occasion to use it much, and I reckon it's a fair bet a large percentage of user haven't either. It's a transient medium, you're there, then you're somewhere else. I don't think it was ever meant to be anything else. How long do they keep tweets in the database? Do you know that? How long do Friendfeed keep data? - Gilbert Harding

Gilbert: I know you haven't used it much. If you had you wouldn't be so obstinate. Friendfeed keeps its data forever. Twitter search hasn't, though. I guarantee you can't find this tweet about the Chinese Earthquake from a year ago on Twitter search. It shows right up in friendfeed, though. http://friendfeed.com/scoblei... - Robert Scoble

Gilbert: even better, try doing this search on Twitter. Not possible. http://friendfeed.com/search... Notice how this item shows up in the search, too. Noise exists even on friendfeed but compare to Twitter and you'll see a lot less noise here. - Robert Scoble

Robert: Thanks for that, I'm getting some good pointers to using FF efficiently. Search is one of those areas I don't go into much and I am gradually building a database of personal FAQ's. Item: Use Friendfeed to search Twitter. Cool. - Gilbert Harding

anime paul needs a haircut and recolouring ;) sorry paul - Allistair Crossley

anime Paul has a butt cut - Matthew

Nice thing is that you don't need a new laptop, Windows 7 can be installed on just about everything with reasonable specs. - Matthew

Leo! So glad to have found you! When I first met my dear hubby, I was shocked that there was a whole channel dedicated to tech stuff (TechTV). I was more shocked to find that I loved watching with him! You and Patrick Norton made tech stuff so entertaining and educational without talking down, I loved watching and missed you guys when you went off. But here you are! Great to see you. - Erin Weber

I use the Microsoft Comfort Curve - Matthew

Windows 7 is holding up quite well on the four computers I have. One old Gateway that had Windows 98 installed, then a laptop with that had Vista Basic and 2 MB Pros (one Duo & one Duo 2). So far just great. Only problem trying to connect to wireless printer. - John Durham

Here's a link to the Northgate keyboard remake. It's called the Avant Prime, made by CVT. - http://www.cvtinc.com/product... - Filippo Dinolfo

about the UI - Allistair Crossley

But has MS mentioned the pricing yet? - Filippo Dinolfo

all this talk of getting it right ... it's all under the hood - they need to get the overall win 7 UI nailed and consistent across the board - Allistair Crossley

Windows 7 works great under virtualbox on the mac and on bare metal it certainly feels much faster than vista even on a pentium dual core - Patrick Dunn

on another topic. I went to an overview of Hyper-V yesterday. It looks like a solid product, but I'm wondering, does MS support clustering using a NAS or does it require the use of a SAN? - Chuck Adams

Item 3: Battle of the advertisements 1) Microsoft posts new Apple Tax ad But this time its about Zune vs. iPod Filling a 120 GB iPod at iTunes store would cost $30,000 Zune Pass is $15 a month, and you get 10 free songs per month You'd have to use Zune Pass for over 166 years to spend $30,000 and let's face it, our musical tastes change over time. Do we really need to own Christopher... more... - Leo Laporte

Item 4:EU fines Intel $1.45 billion for abusing monopoly power Truth is, they're probably guilty but let's be serious: AMD's processors are a joke now - Leo Laporte

I don't know if they're "a joke". At their price point and with their overclocking abilities they make a fantastic enthusiast processor. The thing is, the reason AMD's processors aren't so good is probably because they don't have as much money as Intel, specifically because of Intel's monopolistic practices. When Intel's monopolistic practices started, AMD's processors were not a joke... more... - Andrew VanderVeen

Audible pick of the week Rick Steves' Postcards from Europe Not for everyone, I guess. I read a lot of travel writing and am a big Rick Steves fan: He pushes the notion of traveling like a temporary local, which my wife and I sort of came to on our own coincidentally. He also has a new book out, called Travel as a Political Act, which is based on a talk he gives around the country. http://www.audible.com/adbl... - Leo Laporte

The wiki is open to all for reading and editing. http://wiki.twit.tv - Leo Laporte

From Grantovich.net: "Twittjr is a system that allows an IBM PCjr to search the public timeline on Twitter. In case you weren't aware, Twitter is a social micro-blogging service introduced in 2006 and has over five million active users. The IBM PCjr is a personal computer introduced in 1984 and has a 4.77MHz processor, 128KB of RAM, and uses 360KB floppy disks for storage. It seemed like a good idea at the time." - Mark Trapp from Bookmarklet

Zune phone rumor I presume? - Bwana ☠

After getting the ipod, you realize what quality is - Scott Johnson

Sony video walkman is nice too. - pbombach

It just feels like throwing the money away to me. - blacklight

Rhapsody to go is $15/month. Can't keep any songs though - pbombach

It is for me, Earl. I never use my ipod now, lol - Scott Johnson

I had one of the original Zune's. I loved it for a long, long time. Could play any video, could do any MP3s, and held a charge for several hours. Days with limited use. The Zune is a great product. - Lucavex Ayanami

If Microsoft made a Zune phone they would all brick every time a new phone is activated - Elliott Kieff

Alex won't give up on subscriptions and tablet. - Mike Getz

subscription model is a good idea and a win win for apple IMHO - Gunny doesn't side-hug™

It's not worth it to put flash on the iphone - Scott Johnson

Apple and Google do compete. - Mike Getz

Browser, Mail, Documents and others - Mike Getz

As soon as Google starts selling apples, and has shows featuring such characters such as Andy Ihnatko, there is no competition - Scott Johnson

Flash for the BB was supposed to launch this month..so far no go. - earl wallace

Apple and Google overlap - but complete? After all, Apple is really a hardware company, and Google is an advertising company. - Robert DeLaurentis

I just see it as, anything that is worth doing on an iphone that would normally require flash there is an app for, or a way of doing it. And if there is that "one thing," you have to have it for, take a 30 second trip to your computer - Scott Johnson

We need an APERTURE update!! - Shannon Burns

I just wish I could get the Pre on my SERO everything I've seen says no go - Gunny doesn't side-hug™

Blackberries are great! Then a week later you get rid of it and get an iphone! - Scott Johnson

Biggest reason not to add flash...battery life. Otherwise, why not add flash? - Paul Puri

Any Flash movie on my MacBook is the only item that turns on the cooling fans. Its got to be a an unoptimized mess under the hood. - Robert DeLaurentis

taking notes and studying them later is ther real learning..this tech way is slothe and useless - earl wallace

I love the HFS+ driver for BootCamp - Gunny doesn't side-hug™

if they're focusing on bug fixes (which is what I gather from a feature freeze) I think they're pretty close to a release - Bwana ☠

2 months is close to me :) - Bwana ☠

Well, earl. I'd have to disagree. I can't take notes and rea them later, because it's too boring. Interractivity is the way I learn. I'm very tactile. - Scott Johnson

Just giving us some kind of feature demo at WWDC and then an approximate ship date would be nice... - Barry Wiseman

Using the app to record eveyones answers and let us do questions as a class is awesome - Scott Johnson

well I see your point ..I guess the difference in perception is the generational teaching techniques of the past and now...lecture notes then, keyboarding notes in classroom now - earl wallace

Right. And how one learns is also a huge factor. I learn best by doing things, while another learns best by reading, and another can only learn by hearing something - Scott Johnson

I have a problem with the instructors. I work in a school. Each teacher has a iMac on their desktop. What is it used for? Web surfing, email, and word processing. How do they teach? the same way they've been teaching for 20 years! - Chuck Adams

HI FROM GEORGIA EVERY THINGS UP AND WORKING 2 DAY - daveccorey

That "definitely" has generational factors, Chuck. If I learn how to do something now, I'm going to be doing it 50 years from now. As long as it still works and then info gets conveyed, I'm still going to do it. It just so happens that they learned to do these things prior to knowing the usefulness of macs - Scott Johnson

It's sad, really - Scott Johnson

Apple tells developers to make apps compatable with firmware 3.0 for AppStore. New apps must be compatible if submitted now. Old apps must be made compatible or they will be removed. See www.theloopblog.com/archives/290 - judy Engelsberg

ANOTHER SUBJECT I WAS WONDERING IF ITUNES WAS GOING TO GET ANY SHAREING APLACATIONS 4 TWTTER LIKE GROVE SHARK AND YOUTUBE HAS - daveccorey

you're caps lock is definitely working - Matthew

That makes it difficult for a brand new developer like me. Now I have to wait for the 3.0 sdk to drop for free so I can re-work what I've already done. What the heck? - Scott Johnson

I'm suprised that is actual intelligence in this comment thread, and not people who think the proper way to start and end every sentence is with the word "lol" - Lucavex Ayanami

accidental atheism? - Matthew

The fact is, whether it's Windows, Linux, Unix, Mac, until the mindset of the teacher changes education in this country will continue to lag behind the rest of the world. I don't care how much tech you throw at education. - Chuck Adams

That's the very reason I stopped chatting on Stickam - Scott Johnson

I actually prefer Virtualbox over Parallels and VM Fusion. I'm setting it up for a lab of OS X machines now! - Chuck Adams

Is virtualization as fast as running windows through boot camp? - Michael K

Right, Chuck. And little by little the old teachers are giving in to teaching about the use of these systems and technique - Scott Johnson

virtual box is spiffy, but VM Ware and Parallels have better 3d support for example the aero effects in Win 7 don't work in VB - Gunny doesn't side-hug™

There was an article in the LA time last week explaining how difficult it is to dismiss bad teachers. Bottom line, its almost impossible. - Robert DeLaurentis

Yes, but you get what you pay for. - Lucavex Ayanami

I just used bootcamp for Vista partition. Which one are you able to run 4 OS's at once? It's 79.99 - Scott Johnson

Lucavex and Scott ypu both hit the nail on the head. It also more peaceful and easier to understand ideas in here without trying to comprehend traffic going by at 100 mph - earl wallace

Which hurts everyone, good teachers and bad - Robert DeLaurentis

True, Gunny, but I'm not crazy about Aero anyway. - Chuck Adams

Fusion is great - Bwana ☠

Right, Earl. The only problem will be when more well-meaning people like use join this chat and it gets bogged down, lol! - Scott Johnson

just pointing it out. If you want to play HL2 for example it won't work in VB - Gunny doesn't side-hug™

LOL, I just answered that same question yesterday :) - Bwana ☠

The only issue I have so far with VB is setting it up for multiple users - Chuck Adams

video will be up soon /plug - Bwana ☠

scott I guess that is where the blocking mechanism will show it's value - earl wallace

Crossing my fingers - Scott Johnson

HL2 works fine in Parallels is my only reason for mentioning it - Gunny doesn't side-hug™

I have to agree with Leo here. Windows 7 (Which is what I currently use at home) is so stable and solid even under the release candidate. Microsoft really did themselves justice on this new OS. I've never purchased a legitimate copy of an operating system since I was 14. I am now 25. But I can say with 100% truth that I will be purchasing Windows 7. - Lucavex Ayanami

$1500! Sweet! I'll take 2! - Bwana ☠

Mind if I invite you on twitter, Earl and Chuck? - Scott Johnson

Has anyone here tried Jaadu? - Scott Johnson

That's something you guys should bring up one more time, Leo "Jaadu" - Scott Johnson

I'm not familiar with Jaadu. Yes, I'd love a quick explaination. - Lucavex Ayanami

Seesmic 0.2 is out. - Chuck Adams

Very brief: Jaadu allows you to access your Mac, WIndows, or Linux system on your iPhone/iPod via a VNC - Scott Johnson

Stoked to be watching MacBreak Weekly live. Just downloading Solaris and SnapTell. Funny - I always pictured Don McAllister differently. - Dan Biddle

Jaadu, free or paid app? - Chuck Adams

paid - Matthew

$25, but you can access your comp over edge, wifi, and 3g, and it runs great - Scott Johnson

Excellent briefing, Scott. Thank you. - Lucavex Ayanami

Thank you, Bwana ^^ - Scott Johnson

An excellent, cheap step sequencer is FL Studio. I'm not sure of it's availability for Mac, though. - Lucavex Ayanami

Is there a big performance jump in 7200 rpm laptop drives? - Michael K

There is for me mike. - Bwana ☠

You'll definitely see a difference as compared to a 5800 - Scott Johnson

*5400 - Scott Johnson

That's why I got a 7200rpm - Video - Bwana ☠

me too... had to replace my HD and the performance was noticeable - Chuck Adams

Mike you'll notice a definite "lag" time time when you compare a 5400 to a 7800. It's not enough to make or break a hard drive buy decision unless you do video editing. - Lucavex Ayanami

Or other HDD intensive tasks. - Lucavex Ayanami

I want to do something else Alex :) - Bwana ☠

hehe - Bwana ☠

You know what, I may just be following you on friendfeed, guys. I'm Scott Johnson on twitter too - Scott Johnson

Mobile Me didn't thrill me too much when it was explained to me - Scott Johnson

I wasted 99 bucks on it - Chuck Adams

LOVE DropBox - Rob Michael (Atmos Trio)

The only thing that interested me was the easy web design. Now with Jaadu, I don't need mobile me - Scott Johnson

I doubt I ever buy Dropbox because of the nice 2 gig storage. - earl wallace

POGOPLUG is down, lol - Shannon Burns

Hamachi is still kind of flaky to me on OS X - Chuck Adams

I used it on my windows machine. Not too keen on trying it for Mac - Scott Johnson

Kevin, don't act all naive... you have seen her try. she is part zombie, part vampire, part kitten... oh wait... i think part zombie, part vampire is all kitten. Anyway, she is awesome! - Rachel Lea Fox

Which side does she take in plants vs. zombies? - Stephen Mack

Black kitten with green eyes...sigh. If she wouldn't suck the blood out of my bunny I'd adopt her in a second! Vampire kittens rule. - Jess

well she hasn't been introduced to many plants yet, but she has attacked a couple of the little zombies I got for my bday. I don't know... we have her young so I think we can teach her to be on either side. - Rachel Lea Fox

Jess, I'm hoping she will keep her green eyes, she is only just 8 weeks, so they could still change, but she is a sweetheart! - Rachel Lea Fox

matthew macfadyen as data (cause i keep thinking it's the guy who plays data anyway) http://www.monkeywrenchproductions.com/pics... - MG Siegler

Joaquin Phoenix as Riker! If he stops being crazy. - Veronica

MG, he would look perfect as Data! - Veronica

how about Jim Parsons has Data, (Sheldon Cooper from Big bang theory) lol - Fee501st

@Fee501st: I like that suggestion. - Mark H

I was just thinking about this. - Fancy Fembot

Chuck Norris as Warf (worf?) - Dominic Dale

Monica Bellucci for edit: oops. I mean Troi - Rodfather

i like the idea of joaquin phoenix playing riker while STILL crazy. (needs the beard anyway) - MG Siegler

Shia Lebouf as the fifth member of the away team - Matthew

HAHA! The red shirt? - Veronica

Nat Portman as Deanna Troi - Srujan Ameda

Would the Enterprise D still be the same? or would it be redesigned, the ship is a character too - Fee501st

Kim Kardashian as Deanna Troi. She could tell us all about it on FriendFeed. You know. Because she hangs out here. Really. - Mark H

The Enterprise D was destroyed - Veronica

Catherine Zeta Jones as Deanna Troi! - imabonehead

Veronica, oh i though we was doing a prequel like the new movie - Fee501st

Nathan Fillon As Picard. Jewel Stait as Geordie. Adam Baldwin as Wesley Crusher. Alan Tyduk as Riker. Summer Glau as Troi. - Gunny doesn't side-hug™

Haha, you're right! Sorry, I got all TNG nerd on you there... - Veronica

Charlize Theron as Tasha Yar - Matthew

gunny, ha yes that would be awesome. - MG Siegler

Gunny, I'm seeing a trend... - Veronica

Steve Nash as the Borg - Rodfather

Robert Scoble as Neelix. Oh nevermind, that's Voyager. - Rodfather

I stayed with the historical racial casting thus my picks are: Ben Kingsley as Pickard, Pierce Bronson as Riker,Lawrence Fishburne as Worf,William Hurt as Data, Cuba Gooding Jr as Geordi (on the edge with this one),Rene Russo as Dr Crusher, Jennifer Love Hewitt as Troi (Look them up, you will agree.) - Travis

Ben Kingsly as Picard??? He actually might be older than Patrick Stewart, and he's short. I like William Hurt, he's a great actor, but I'd say he's a bit old for Data as well. And I don't know what you mean by historical racial casting. - Matthew

According to a well-connected Silicon Valley source who spoke with Gawker, and who may have been recruited by Apple for a senior position, Apple and Twitter's management are engaged in serious negotiations. In fact they may be close to sealing a deal for as much as $700 million, with the intention of announcing the purchase at Apple's World Wide Developers Conference in June. - Leo Laporte

Might be a clever move if they then don't shut out non Apple users in the end. - Donald Townsend

so apple isn't capitalism 2.0-we still hope for constructive capitalism- may the good are evil too? - Boris (aka electrouncle)

So now, Apple will get to "approve" each and every tweet before it is sent! :-) - Rob Smith

Maybe I am just imagining this. But I could have sworn I heard or read somewhere that Twitter was valued much higher. If so Apple is getting a steal. - Nick O

So, if Twitter has gotten as big as it is by having its famously open API, and Apple is notorious for walling their gardens. How exactly will Apple incorporate Twitter effectively? - Sunny Molini

Never going to happen; it's ridiculous to discuss. - Peter

It would be an amazing way for apple to build a community. A community already pre-populated with their users. - Matthew Snape

$700 million seems way too low. And what could Apple bring that Twitter doesn't already have? Seriously. - Bob Morris (polizeros)

"Yvoire is a small village on the French coast of Lake Leman. It’s set exactly in front of my town, which is on the Swiss coast of the lake. Practically Yvoire is what I see every morning from my windows, if the weather is clear enough. It takes about 20 minutes by boat to cross the lake from Nyon (Switzerland) to Yvoire (France)." - M F from Bookmarklet

He's @wossy on Twitter :) - Roberto Bonini

Tip of the week: Using Open With in Windows 7 RC If you drag a file onto the taskbar, Windows 7 wants to Pin it. But to open with an app that is on the taskbar, drag with SHIFT - Leo Laporte

"A Texas startup has finally pulled the wraps off its 40-mpg, 450-horsepower Scorpion roadster, a hand-built hydrogen-burning "eco-exotic" that is sexier than Angelina Jolie and has the performance to provide more grins than nitrous oxide. Ronn Motor Company unveiled the Scorpion today at the big SEMA, or Speciality Equipment Market Association, automotive trade show in Las Vegas, which may be the perfect place to debut so flashy — and innovative — a car. The company hopes the Scorpion does for hydrogen what the Tesla Roadster has done for batteries. "We want to build cool cars, just more responsibly”, company president Ronn Maxwell told Wired.com. "Our hope with the Scorpion is to implement a paradigm shift not only in how the industry looks at supercars but at cars in general."" - Merry Xmas FFeeders - AJ from Bookmarklet

wild-looking ride. impressive stats for an "exotic" car - Cee Bee

not convinced hydrogen is the way to go with cars. but the lines on this car are sexier than sendhil ramamurthy naked on my doorstep holding a winning lottery ticket <in case the boy is watching>or you know, JT, 7 days a week</in case the boy is watching> - tiffany
