It even comes with a case of MAGIC - a Database system that's infinitely scalable, automatic application design, creation and documentation... It can even make applications look like they're running on Windows Vista!

I just felt a disturbance in the force. Some geek just turned on some cool new code. Geeks who work on Labor Day are disruptive!

Jeremy: I have my sensors for new geeky developments out there and they are going crazy.

Ha ha, antecedent fail on my part.

Robert: It's good that those sensors are still working on labor day too.
- Jeremy Felt
yes i did add a new feature although it went live late last night - will make a post tonight or tomorrow about it

Holy crap, you sensed correctly. This week is going to be awesome.

Allen: in http://cloudcontacts.com ? I have to go check that out.

Robert, that's awesome to see - it says something about how successful rssCloud will be if my theory is correct.
- Jesse Stay
It's pretty amazing. I feel about the same way as I felt when the NY Times RSS feeds came online in 2002.
- Dave Winer
Dave, congratulations - I'm doing a blog post about it now
- Jesse Stay
My brain's still on its 3-day weekend. Can someone briefly and clearly tell me what the big deal is? What is "rssCloud"?
- Craig Eddy
Ohhhh, ok. I just read http://rsscloud.org/walkthr... and it's becoming more clear.
- Craig Eddy
Jesse: yup, Wordpress.com has six million blogs as of May 2009 and is growing quickly, so that's a lot of blogs that just got RSS Cloud.
- Robert Scoble
LOL.
- Zachary TG
http://scobleizer.com/2009... is my take on RSS Cloud.
- Robert Scoble
Robert: Are you going to be at the rsscloud meetup this week with camera in hand?
- Jeremy Felt
I guess Alex Conner of (Geekery For Rent- @gk4r ) and I are disruptive because we worked on a site that has to launch this Wednesday. :)
- Melanie Reed
Robert - great blog post - CNN are you listening?

I got a quote and bought homeowner's insurance on Labor Day. Hey, GEICO was open so why not?

Good disturbance it was indeed.

Strange but cool.

Agreed. Someone at nFrame recently asked if they could use Subversion to keep track of VMWare images, actually. I wish VMWare exposed the file system in a manner that would make that sensible... well, if not sensible, at least possible.

brush away the hate, brush away the hate (I'm doing the dance move while typing this...next up, the lawn mower)...
- David
Can someone define here in what context they mean "hate"? If I say I hate injustice or I hate the effects of poverty, I am following the injunction "Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil; cling to what is good.."(Romans 12:9) We may think this irrelevant but my concern is the problem both Lewis and Orwell describe about the imprecision or misuse of language in our culture today. It's growing and causing more, not less of the problem in unity.

love stories can easily be depressing for those of us who have never experienced anything even remotely close to a love story.

That's where geek translators come in handy, someone who can understand the tech well enough on the backend but is capable of translating it into real world language and uses for everyone else.
- FFing Enigma (aka Tina)
This is why business models are important... What problem are you solving? For whom? How will they use it? How will they pay for it? The answers to those questions make the geeky cool the useful and profitable.
- Brian Roy
I have been saying this a lot lately. As cool as some of this stuff is, who is going to use it besides us? Yahoo Pipes is really cool too. But if I have trouble using it, who is it really for?
- Rob Diana
Scrapplet is geeky. No question! But there will always be room for cutting edge experimentation, and for people to write about it. I am hoping that today's Scoble stil is intrigued by such things and hasn't given in to the "business models and profits" crowd. Let "those people" write about "that stuff".
- Louis Gray

- Shey, Jamaican of FF
Something I forgot to add to my previous comment: Sometimes you need to start out geeky because usability is not an easy thing. Going geek and just building features is what we are good at. Once that settles down, the usability is a little easier to deal with.
- Rob Diana
Let's say you are artist, or writer, or sculptor. Wouldn't it be exciting to be in Left Bank of Paris in the early 1900s, the Crazy Years, along with the likes of Picasso and Matisse? It seems strange to argue for going to Facebook because there are more people or arguing against tech just because it's not for mass consumption. Mediocrity is the goal because it has a higher hit count?
- Todd Hoff
I'm not sure I understand something. Scrapplet is bad because the developer can't convince anyone but geeks how cool it is? Isn't that exactly what people like Scoble are for?
- Mr. Gunn
commenting on this from inside your scrapplet mashup. and the FF live feed works too.
- Richard pancakhaus Walker
But Scrapplet IS geeky! And empowering AND frustrating!!!! Thanks for everyone's feedback -- 'cause it only gets better from here! Now, the real trick is to demonstrate just how fast cool stuff evolves when the technology part of it is built right from the start.

Oddly enough, I don't think it's that great a CAPTCHA for a computer.
- Rob Haas
OMG - I was trying to figure out a compound interest problem last night and the formula look a lot like this. I would FAIL BAD on this CAPTCHA.
- Martha
I think the answer's 0 despite what the math whizzes in the thread say.
- Jim: Dead Like FF
This is the reason I hate maths.
- Roberto Bonini
That's one site I won't be joining. :(
- Jack (a.k.a. Jeber)
Jim, once you hit calculus, the answers are all either zero or infinity. :-)

My son has dyscalculia, and I worry about math-based captchas for this reason. There is always someone who is being excluded by these tests of our humanity!

If you're not good at math, you probably won't be signing up for a Quantum Random Bit Generator Service.
- Rob Haas
Actually, it's a trick question. The answer is "mandatory".
- vijay
14. ... 7*6 cos (6x) - 7*4 (sin 7x + pi/2) at x = 2pi ... and cos (multiples of 2 pi) = 1, sin (multiples of 2 pi) = 0, sin (multiples of 2 pi + pi/2) = 1, so ... 7*6 - 7*4 = 14

I'm glad I forgot how to do this kind of math soon after I graduated!

Just found out I'm not human :(...Cannot answer the darn thing! :)

@Joel. I think that's the point. If you get the correct answer, you're obviously not a human!
- Scott of Two Countries
Can't I just copy and paste that into Maple or Mathematica?
- Robin Barooah
Do you think you need prove that you are a human ?
- xuzepei
@Scott,just my humor :). I think @ Mitchell has the answer :)

Well.....I can't solve it. I'm not human either.

Oh my, this means people need to have at least a Calculus background! What happens for those who have forgotten calculus? Perhaps someone is or has worked on an automatic math bot that can read and answer this?
