Sarah models the blue Apple onesie she wore for the first time today. (A pink one is somewhere as well)

It said size 6-12 months, so at 8 1/2 months, I figured it was time, even for this petite girl. And yes, maybe Matthew will end up wearing the blue one more than she will over time, but I think she looks great in blue!

"This is how you see off a love rival, gorilla-style. With teeth bared and enormous arms swinging, the two huge apes hurl themselves towards each other. This moment, just before they clashed in mid-air, was captured by a visitor to the Kent zoo where the western lowland gorillas live. The action photograph earned Nicholas Godsell the runner-up prize in an annual photography competition run by Port Lympne zoo near Folkestone, in conjunction with Howletts near Canterbury. The 33-year-old, sales manager for a computer company, said: 'I can't believe I got a shot like that. I was watching these two gorillas getting more and more aggressive with each other."

@John To acknowledge differences and factors brought into play by race is not to be racist. To be racist is to believe that one race is inherently superior to another.

I didn't vote for Obama because he's black, John - that's a false assumption (good attempt at logic, though). A vote for anybody other than him would have landed McCain in the white house - and the neo-cons will *NEVER* get my support. EVER. Oh, and you might know that I'm a registered Republican - so stick that in your pipe and smoke it. :)

As I've asked before, "Where was THIS McCain throughout the campaign?" This was a more genuine, humble person who finally saw the forest from the trees about our universal struggle, who finally took control of his supporters, and gave a little bit of inspiration and reflection. When the race was finally over, it appears the RNC just released him from captivity and he could finally speak as himself.

The one similarity no one can really say is each has the same blood flowing through their veins, even if on the outside they look different, we as human beans all work the same, it is only on the shallow view of only seeing the outside that is different and basing false assumptions on that.
- Raymond Marr aka Knatchwa
McCain is not a neo-con. The whole invented "neo-con" thing was a stupid attempt to brand Bush and Co. as extreme right even though they passed far more left-leaning legislation and spending than right-leaning. It's a pejorative against conservatives that sounds innocent, just like an Arab calling an Israeli "Zionist." Most of us understand the true meaning when those terms are used.

While McCain is not a neo-con, the term wasn't invented last year. Bush and Co. were neo-cons and the people they alligned themselves with coined themselves that http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki...

"There has been a lot of new news lately around the idea of home entertainment and media and I wanted to write a post reflecting on recent announcements coming out of Microsoft on their Media Center platform in Windows 7, the new XBox 360, an increasing role for Netflix's "watch now" technology and today's announcement regarding Netflix by TiVo. Put simply, the battle for your living room and the dollars associated with your living room is heating up and I believe that 24 months from now there will be clear winners and losers. The next 24 months will likely represent the biggest changes we've seen yet for mainstream America's media consumption."
- Thomas Hawk
great post T-Hawk. I am pretty impressed with MSFT's forays in the living room over the past couple of years. Xbox+Netflix is a *huge* win IMHO...
- Jeremy Toeman
What about the PS3? Besides the Blu-ray player, and kick-ass gaming platform, it can already stream content from your network, and you can download HD content in 1080p glory from the Sony network. If they can also strike a deal with Netflix, it could be another winner.
- Andy Roth
@Jeremy, I agree. I think where MSFT has an advantage is that so many people already have PCs and/or XBoxs in their homes. This allows people to adapt their devices to take advantage of existing devices with little additional cost. And even if you want to buy a new XBox, it's not that expensive compared to either a TiVo or your mammoth monthly cable or sat bill. The MSFT/Netflix combo becomes the low cost provider for content.
- Thomas Hawk
@Andy. Does the PS3 have a DVR? Can you record OTA HD TV for free and then skip the commercials with it? I think that this is fundamental tech that gives the XBox 360 an advantage. The streaming Netflix further solidifies MSFT's lead here.
- Thomas Hawk
@Andy don't forget (1) the price point, (2) regular folks don't care about blu-ray yet (and probably never will), (3) online element of PS3 isn't nearly as well regarded as Xbox live...
- Jeremy Toeman
Confused - you can record with a 360, DVR or OTA...how is that an advantage? Also, I've been streaming Netflix on my PS3 for weeks now.
- Andru Edwards
Disclaimer - I own 2 Xbox 360s, 2 PS3s, 2 Wiis, 1 TiVo Series3, 1 TiVo HD, 3 cable DVRs, 1 Windows Media Center box, a Vudu sreaming device, etc. I'm not a fanboy for any one device, just giving my thoughts.
- Andru Edwards
@Andru, as a Media Center extender an XBox can bring up a menu virtually identical to the Media Center PC. Both Vista Home Premium and Ultimate ship with Media Center by default. All you need is a TV tuner, and there are good ones that you don't even have to install, that can sit on your network for instance and you can record any OTA (over the AIR) HDTV and then skip the commercials using the media center interface on your XBox 360 unit.
- Thomas Hawk
it's an advantage to be able to record network HDTV for free because then you don't have to pay to buy these shows or pay for cable/sat when it comes to your network programming.
- Thomas Hawk
Good point, Thomas. Hardware wise, I'm sure the PS3 could handle that, and I suspect that hackers have made it work, but I know of nothing official.
- Andy Roth
I love my TiVo; really looking forward to streaming netflix with it. But I also love my AppleTV. Maybe I'm in the minority here.

- Jason Shultz
from twhirl
AH yes, the PS3 can also stream recorded content. From computers, from Drobo, even from OS X. Same with Netflix, I've been doing netflix on PS3 for weeks, as well as Hulu. Plus, it gives me Blu-ray, and uncompressed 7.1 surround sound, which I don't get from any other system. Heck, the 360 only has an HDMI 1.2 out, which means no uncompressed audio.
- Andru Edwards
That said, I am already running the New Xbox Experience, and it's very slick - HD Netflix looks fantastic.
- Andru Edwards
@Andru you seem hardly qualified to comment on all this. (j/k)
- Jeremy Toeman
@Andru - how do you stream Netflix to your PS3? I would love to do that.
- Andy Roth
I haven't had as much experience with the PS3 as other platforms. Is it easy to set it up with a DVR functionality / streaming Netflix? If it's easy that sounds pretty good. If it's more geeky or less out of the box though I think it would lose some mainstream appeal as a media center.
- Thomas Hawk
My brother in law has the PS3 but their internet connection is too slow to really take advantage of it. I've played it once or twice, but they don't have a HD tv either so it's hard to say how good it is. My 360 is connected my HD tv and high speed net and I love it. I'm hoping the XBE will be all that it's promoted to be.
- Jason Shultz
To set up Netflix, Hulu, ESPN, and other streaming on PS3, you need a Windows computer on your network. Then, download PlayOn (there is a demo, full version $30). It will create a server from that box, which both the 360 and PS3 can see and play from. Very nice, integrates right into the PS3 menu and everything :)

Tim, Thomas: By law, Comcast should be giving you your first cablecard (single or multi-stream) for free if you have digital cable. Additional ones are about $2 or so. $15 is completely out of line.
- Brian Johns
Comcast's FAQ about CableCARD cost: http://www.comcast.com/custome...
- Brian Johns
I think you guys with serious tech cred need to step back and re-consider the original question. "The battle for the living room" isn't going to be won by ANY solution that requires PC-set top integration of any kind. It's just not consumer friendly enough. Standalone Xbox 360 is a comer, but not there yet. AppleTV is too incomplete. If Tivo can convince Comcast to ditch their horrible circa-1990 iGuide interface for the Tivo UI, they could be a real player. But Comcast won't, because they are dumb.
- Kevin Pedraja
The winner will be the company that can produce the stand-alone $299 God box: tuner, DVR, game system, streaming media player, Internet access station all in one. It'll need an interface as easy as Tivo's, seamless integration with a source of premium content in the cloud (Netflix, Amazon, iTunes, etc.), and easy input/storage of local content (your own music, for example). None of the companies in the thread is close to doing this yet, though most of them could, if they chose...
- Kevin Pedraja
... and they each have institutional reasons for NOT doing it. Microsoft: unwillingness to cannibalize MC sales; Apple: unwillingness to cannibalize Mac/iPod sales; Tivo: don't sell content and can't piss off cable companies by making it too easy to get content from elsewhere.

Same here... right now I'm catching up on headlines. :)
- Mona Nomura
Ditto. Opening in another tab to read later.

WHY is this such a deal? We used to screw with friends and take pics like that when they left their camera somewhere, so you'd pick up a roll of film and woops! naked!
- Cyndy
Cyndy? Do you have a Myspace account? If you don't, you can log in via mine and the things you see will trip you out.
- Mona Nomura
LOL. Yes, Mona. I actually have two. One professional and one anonymous. They are just sluttier than we were. :D
- Cyndy
This is no different than the young girls wearing skimpy clothes and tons of makeup...it's all about attention. Whatever kind you can get I guess they think is better than none. Not saying it's only girls, but guys don't look all that cute in skimpy clothing...just sayin.
- Rahsheen ™, Coach Rah
I get Myspace friend requests from crotch shot guys UGH!! And this desensitization of naked pictures make me sick. It's not classy and disgusting.
- Mona Nomura
young guys maybe just tally up bragging rights of how many girls they did stuff with?
- Kamilah Gill
I read the article. It was disappointing and just pointed out the obvious stuff. I was hoping for more depth.
- Rochelle
This sounds like the same rhetoric as the War on Drugs: "our children are in danger! from themselves! please stop them from indulging in life!"..... maybe we need to start up the War on Sex....
- Ňicķ
Rochelle, I just finished it and I absolutely agree.
- Mona Nomura
but, but, but ... If we go with Nick's suggested "war on sex" what will take the place of the snappy "make love not war"
- David HC Soul
Make compliance with government wishes, not individual thought.

I would rather hold the parents responsible. They should be teaching their children what to do and what is acceptable. Let them know the dangers of this. If the parent doesn't know about things they shouldn't have the internet in the house available to the children unsupervised. If the parent does understand that then they would use technology to block the sites and set acceptable times to log on as well as monitor what is done by their children.
- CW™
I'm not too shy to say it: For Hell's sake, don't stop hot young things from posting naked or near naked pictures of themselves. Are you CRAZY!? That's half the reason we built the Internet, right there!

I have to agree with Alex and Nick, and add my own two cents: haven't we screwed up enough generations by making them feel like sexuality and their bodies are something dirty? Can't we drop the hypocritical puritan gig, finally? zor is it just some sadistic need to reproduce the hangups of each generation in the mind of the next?

David, you're right.... "make war, not war"... it's just not as snappy sounding.

The only problem with this is they're under legal age to be involved with the adults who probably get off on ogling their young bodies. Once they're past 18, no problem. Under that they are potentially putting themselves at risk, online, anyway.
- Kamilah Gill
A few days ago I asked, "Every generation claims that the subsequent generation has been corrupted by this or that cultural artifact. The argument against says this observation is always subjective. Have you ever had to admit that something is objectively corruptive after first denying it?" http://friendfeed.com/e... Though not exactly the same as this threads focus, I wonder what it means in light of this subject matter.
- Christopher Harley
The article seems to make a lot of the teenagers not really understanding the scope of what they are doing. Maybe this is true of young teenagers or pre-teens, but are today's HS students not able to understand the scope of the internet and the power/speed of technology?
- Sean Brady
Ah the old "technology is destroying our moronic youth" mindset. This is why we now treat children like they are idiots long after the age where they used to lead armies and make state level decisions (not that that worked out so well, mind you!). The article assumes these kids will eventually regret their actiosn because it assumes they share the sense of shame the articles author would - and thats the flaw.

No-one is being harmed. I too would love to understand why we have such a hang up over our bodies and what we choose to do with them. As long as it's all consentual I don't care. Also, a question to parents: why do we give rediculous baby names to genitalia, isn't it about time that we teach our children the medical names rather than "pee pee"?
- alphaxion
nude photos of yourself plastered all over the web with your name on them are potentially damaging later on when you're an adult looking for work, don't you think? I repeat, I have a problem with kids basically throwing their images out there for pedophiles to exploit.
- Kamilah Gill
@Alexander Williams - Agreed... sheesh people, this is the antidote to the anti-sex fringe (both religeous and radical feminist). Hell, I say make digital cameras free to the cute.
- Soulhuntre
@Kamilah - not really - bu the time they are int he workplace this will be so common in folks background people will figure out that it doesn't mean they are stupid or evil. There was a time when not being a virgin before your wedding would cost you social status and work chances - times change.
- Soulhuntre
alphaxion, are you saying that you're okay with child porn? That a 12 year old has the developmental ability to understand the implications and consent to something like that? Wow.
- Rochelle
Looking forward to reading this, though I am pretty disturbed to get into it...
- Clay Newton
Look for "child porn" atom bomb to drop in 3, 2, .... never mind.
- Soulhuntre
There's a difference between nudity and sexualized nudity, and a difference between an 18 year old and a 14 year old. Though most of the 20-somethings I've seen posting such shots have emotional/self-worth issues. It's one thing to post a nude pic as a joke or artistically, and another because you're desperate to feel good about yourself. The latter can lead to dangerous situations and likely even worse self-esteem in the long run.
- Alix Whitmire
I'm not looking to start a war here. I'm just hoping alphaxion can clarify his point. He's certainly entitled to his opinion. I'm just not clear on what it is.
- Rochelle
@rochelle in the traditional sense of an adult taking advantage of those under 18, then I find it as abhorrent as you do. But between kids the same age group as each other then it's a different kettle of fish that I'm frankly not qualified enough to even cover. I just know that society has a habit of trying to control and make illegal natural exploration of ourselves and others *in our own age group*. I have always said that education rather than bansticks rule every time.
- alphaxion
alphaxion, thanks for your clarification. My primary concern with that is that images shared online are so easy for others to get ahold of. A kid might post a picture on Flickr and send the URL to a friend, thinking that since they didn't share the URL with anyone else, no one but the friend will ever see it. Who knows who else is browsing Flickr, though. Tad's Flickr Toy sure proves that.
- Rochelle
Article sucked. Interesting case. The biggest challenge is balancing childhood self expression & experimentation with really damaging stuff. Personally, I am glad that she is getting challenged legally on this as a reminder to boys & girls alike. Wouldn't want to see her listed as a sex-offender, however.
- Clay Newton
There is little risk here of "child porn". I think that the biggest ethical issue with child porn is not the abuse of found pictures, but the psychological and physical trauma inflicted on kids forced into porn by an adult. It upends their notion of what's right.
- Clay Newton
@alphaxion to say that this is "consentual " issue is a mis-statement. It assumes that the recipients were consenting partners in the exchange. That's like saying I consent to \/!4Gr4 ads.
- Clay Newton
I just posted this on my facebook( they gotta learn that it aint cute)
- Terence
@Rochelle (rochelles): I'd argue that 62 year olds are no less and no more able to deal with naked images of themselves floating about. I STRONGLY argue that they SHOULD be equally capable, and that the 12yo has more hope of developing the "don't care" proper response than the 62 year old. And why should she care? It's an unclothed body that happens to be hers. The map is not the territory, though convincing the hardline sympathetic-magic believers of that (ie. Christians) is an ongoing process.

This article missed a very important point: the Millenials and whatever the current buzzword is for the following generation know EXACTLY the scope of the internet. They understand it better than we do. The concept that may escape them is that of time. Remember when 30 seemed old and far away to us? What interests me more is how we are a nation of prudes yet we have no problem salivating over the sex lives of "stars" on celebblogs, magazines, etc. then we act surprised our kids think that leads to fame.
