Of course it attacks jail-broken phones. I wouldn't be surprised if some of the jail-breaking utilities open holes for exactly this purpose. - ·[▪_▪]·

Debi, I read that myself and laughed. The district court judge asked them to define 'harm' to traditional marriage and the prop-8 lawyer was totally stumped. I'm extremely interested to see how this goes down. - veo

I still can't figure out what the downside to R71 is. There is no reason to oppose it other than hatred. - Sparky

I want my ballot :( - joey

Sparky, the official statement against it has the expected crap about "protecting straight marriage" and then also says: "If Senate Bill 5688 is implemented, it will mean another massive expansion of government and Washingtonian taxpayers will be stuck with a multi-million dollar bill. Now is not the time to provide more entitlements to a very small minority of the population." Sounds like some vague "it'll cost you a lot of money" thing. - Rochelle

Including the heterosexual elderly, not just gay couples. - joey

yeah, the judge doesn't seem very friendly to the anti-gay marriage foes :) - Debi Toews

Rochelle - how exactly will it cost more money? To my mind we are just saving money now by rejecting benefits for some people, rather than spending more money later. - Sparky

Sparky, they probably mean by creating agencies to handle the paperwork to file and maintain, etc. Which I think has already been set up? - joey

It won't. It's just a scare tactic. There is a radio add that says basically "State legislators have their plates full with economic issues and getting jobs back in our state, Ref 71 is just a waste of time and a distraction so vote NO to send a message to lawmakers to keep on task with the economy" It's about 20 levels of WTF. - veo

Equal rights for everybody except the ditch diggers. :( - Akiva Moskovitz

Because we already implemented domestic partnerships, so the work has been done. GEEEZ. - joey

Joey - we already have those agencies as we already have domestic partnerships. This bill just expands the rights of those with a DP. - Sparky

If only everyone would be as motivated for polygamist rights. - Gus

This might feed the 'slippery slope' argument that people like to use against equality, but what exactly *is* wrong with plural relationships? As long as no one is actively/directly damaged by a given relationship, it shouldn't matter what the topology of that relationship is. Two husbands and one wife? why not? Three wives? WHO CARES? Follow your bliss. Not liking that your neighbor has two significant others isn't direct damage. - veo

Why not 20 husbands and 1 wife to rule them all? - Gus

Why not? Who does it qualitatively hurt? No one, thats who. - veo

Yeah, this one-on-one "couple" stuff is so old-fashioned. - Gus

Gus, I can't tell if you're mocking me or not. It's my opinion that the specifics of a given relationship is none of the public's or state's business. Marriage as a legal entity with specific morally-mandated rules *is* antiquated. Marriage should be a domestic/financial/emotional contract between individuals that is available in any size/shape. - veo

Sounds like Gus hasn't had a threesome yet. - Rochelle

Does that imply you have Rochelle? Oh wait, wife #2, right. - Sparky from iPhone

WHOA WHOA WHOA. - joey

Sparky, that's what I was getting at with my comment...the agencies and paperwork already exist. - joey

I know more about the "Last Days" and heaven than I know about what's going to happen to FriendFeed as we have come to know it than was given in Paul's rather cryptic answer. And while that may not be a fair comparison (God actually gave details and signs), there is something definitely not forthcoming about his response.

Except that's not what he said. The quotation marks in the title are misleading. - Ken Sheppardson

Don't you hurt my FFdog! - Morgan Haley

Nice post Zee... you've nicely captured my sentiments on FF - Susan Beebe

Ken: good point, i almost stopped to mention it after my comment about metamorphosis since it doesn't really make a lot of sense if paul says ff is transforming (which he didn't he said it's in chrysalis - which means it will be transforming, but not yet) - Chris Heath

Except he didn't say FF is in chrysalis either, Chris. He could be talking about Facebook. - Ken Sheppardson

But honestly, I haven't seen this much interpretation, re-interpretation, reading between the lines, hashing and rehashing and "what he probably/really meant was..." since the last time Alan Greenspan testified before congress. - Ken Sheppardson

What's Greenspan's stand on FF. I must know. Now. - Micah Wittman

ken: http://friendfeed.com/paul... "Consider this the chrysalis stage" - Chris Heath

Ken: maybe he's talking about facebook there, but i thought he was responding to the accusations that friendfeed is dead, not 'why hasn't facebook added any cool features recently?' - Chris Heath

Why would this spur anti-Apple backlash, pray tell? This is very cocky marketing. Let's see how it works, first, before people start to hate their iPhones. And Windows 7? Enjoy your balloons! We've seen this Apple is in trouble stuff before. We'll see how it does once it's really in the wild. You've had this weird obsession w/bashing Apple ever since the Google voice stuff, calling them... more... - Bill Heald

It's the built up to the Release of the Storm 2 and the new Android phone from Google. - George Mag

Verizon hasnt made a peep about the Storm 2. I think they are going all in on this Droid push. - William

Ha! i wouldn't open my mouth about the storm after the first go 'round. but an android phone there's something. but knowing vzw's track record i just wonder how they are going to screw this phone up. - rob sakowitz

If it weren't Android 2.0 with a full keyboard, 5mp camera, and Verizon 3G I might not have taken notice. I think Apple is ripe for plucking and this might well be it. Of course, there are 85,000 reasons not to leave the iPhone. The Android marketplace has a lot of catching up to do but at least it's an open platform. - Leo Laporte

Bill, avoid the ad hominem attacks, and actually discuss what was in the link. All of those critiques are valid and important. Only apple Kool-Aid could make someone say a mission critical feature like multiple apps running isn't important. - Matthew DeVries

I-don't care for the Android interface. Unless they've made it actually functional in *some* respect, then it's kinda pointless to advertise it. Also, bashing the touchscreen keyboard is a bad idea. Many people like it. I can go with either, myself, but a lot of people have gotten used to, and prefer, the touchscreen. With auto-correction that actually works, it's just as fast, if not faster. - Otto

The fact that most of the discussion of Droid I've seen doesn't even mention the Palm Pre... except perhaps to say that Droid uses the same chipset... just reinforces my view that all the talk of de-throning the iPhone is a little pointless, and instead we're going to have fragmented, niche alternatives to the "mainstream" option, the iPhone. - Ken Sheppardson

The people who are going to lash back at Apple are already doing so. Things aren't going to get any worse. AT&T is as bad as it'll ever be. The app store is as closed as it's going to get. Apple has nowhere to go but up, in that respect. While the geeked-out vocal minority might march off on some anti-Apple crusade, I don't see how "Anti-Apple Backlash" crosses the chasm, so to speak. - Ken Sheppardson

Android and webOS are to iPhone what Linux and OS X are to Windows. - Ken Sheppardson

I think the "openness" issue only matters to a tiny segment of their audience. There are 85K apps for the iPhone in just over 2 years. What is the upside of openness from a user perspective? At some point, it's all just meaningless techno-babble. - Kevin Pedraja

Matthew, you need to read before you comment. I wasn't responding to the link in Leo's post. I was responding to Leo's post itself, and his "Anti-Apple Backlash" rhetoric. There was nothing ad-hominem in my "attacks" either. He has had this weird 'Apple is evil' thing going for a while now, and I think it's over the top and reflected in this post. And I said it before and I'll say it again: why do potentially great products that compete with Apple have to spur an Anti-Apple backlash? - Bill Heald

You are again bundling ad hominem attacks in your statement that you're not making ad hominem attacks. Discuss the points of the post on it's merits. If you want to pull out a "Leo hates Apple" conspiracy theory, make your own post.....so I can hide it. - Matthew DeVries

I actually didn't stop working... and i was probably the better for it too - Chris Heath

Imagine how easy it is to fool the public when governments and mainstream media establishments really put their mind to it: Saddam Hussein was behind 9/11 and the 9/11 anthrax attacks, WTC 7 was brought down by fire, etc. Human beings in the mass are infinitely susceptible to hypnotic suggestion, hoaxes, illusions, delusions, legerdemain, crude propaganda and other forms of psychological manipulation. - Sean McBride

can somebody explain what was that? what happened 15/10/09?? O_o - morose

Sean, I don't have to imagine it. But what would be good to imagine is how easy it is to not buy into that manipulation etc. - Chris Heath

Chris -- in my experience, it is very difficult for most people -- even people who consider themselves to be intelligent, well-educated and skeptical -- not to be manipulated by sustained mainstream media propaganda campaigns. - Sean McBride

That's because they watch TV all the time. It's really easy to shield yourself from these types of 'campaigns' ... just turn off the idiot box! - Chris Heath

Chris -- I stopped watching all cable TV news years ago -- I receive all my news from the best feeds on the planet, all of which have been well ahead of the curve in debunking the nonsensical propaganda being dished out by Fox News, CNN, The New York Times, The Washington Post and the usual suspects. But I am guessing that fewer than 5% of Americans share my proclivities. The mainstream... more... - Sean McBride

“At the moment Wilson exploded, the outburst seemed like an assault on the President. Soon afterward, it was clear that it had been a gift. Wilson had, in an emotional expression, proven Obama's point: the summer of town halls had been less a discussion than a circus, a forum where misinformation was vindicated by passion, where disrespect was elevated to a virtue. Now the circus had come inside Congress.” - Anthony Citrano

So who was lying? - Toby

@Toby: if you really have to ask that question, I am afraid I can't be of much help. - Anthony Citrano

LOL...Toby, who do *you* believe was lying? - ProsePetals (aka Denise)

Gee, if only there was a 'bill' that one could 'read' to determine the truth and thus, who was lying. - Andrew C

@Andrew: the President wasn't talking about a bill. He was talking about his proposal. Thus, it's remarkably easy to determine the veracity of both statements. - Anthony Citrano

Woah, if you option+click the finder icon you can hide the application that has focus. I'm going be option clicking stuff all day! - Joshua Schnell

If you option click an icon in your dock it hides everything else but that application. Edit: I lied. First option click brings it to the front, and a second hides everything else. It seems to be sporadic. *shrugs* - Joshua Schnell

The sync icon gives a couple extra options as well. - Dustin Sallings

Try holding ⌘ and dragging those menubar items around as well. - Matt Mastracci

Matt, that's a great tip as well. I wish it worked for non-apple specific icons though. :( - Joshua Schnell

I have a sneaking suspicion that the non-apple icons aren't using an Apple API (and that there probably isn't even an API available for that). - Matt Mastracci

Thanks for the tip. I didn't know that. - Hunt
