iPod Touch App Sales Jumped 1000% On Christmas Day | Gadget Lab | Wired.com
The Christmas news used to be about the iTunes Music Store, and it went like this: Lots of kids got iPods as Christmas gifts, and then they went crazy downloading music. Now, it’s not just music. According to mobile analytics company Flurry, iTunes Store downloads for the iPod Touch leapt almost 1000% on December 25th. That indicates that a lot of kids found iPod Touches under the tree this year. - Matt G from Bookmarklet

Hello 2010, I can has jetpack & flying car now?
No, but you can have global destruction. - Shey, Jamaican of FF

What web apps/services have impressed you the most this year? What ones have you used the most? What new apps have been added to your regularly-used list?
What apps or services would you like to see do well in 2010? What would you like to see change in 2010? What apps have been disappointing or feel they deserve to do better next year? #oftheyear #2009 - Kol Tregaskes
In terms of iPhone apps -- MagicSleep. - Miss Elle
Well I'm, of course, going to say FriendFeed has had a good year - though the FB buy-out make a huge dent. If I think back to last year and what I wasn't using that I am now then Twitter had improved a lot, particularly with the Twitter Lists, which were long overdue. Chrome has become my default browser - I hardly touch Firefox and IE could easily be uninstalled if I could. - Kol Tregaskes
Google Wave was impressive but it needs some serious optimisation and made a lot easier to use. Hopefully next year we'll see some improvements introduced. Groups would be the biggest new feature for me. Facebook is getting used more but it needs a lot more FriendFeed-esque features. - Kol Tregaskes
A tie: Wordpress and Friendfeed. Just hope Friendfeed can stay cutting edge. - laosan
Friendfeed and reddit seem to be doing well, with a clean and clear text interface... - TrafficBug
Web apps... Google Wave was a disappointment. Can't really say I have a use for it. Friendfeed had a great year and is my most used web app. Part of what has made friendfeed great for me has been AJ's clean widescreen theme and Micah's huge collection of Greasemonkey scripts. I don't think friendfeed would be quite as enjoyable without them. On the desktop...There is a small,... more... - April Russo (app103)
I still believe Google Wave is exactly what I need for project discussion, support or training that works live and over time and that can stay available through time as new people join in etc. Or a family network thing... Best elements of irc/chat with the best elements of forum/wiki - the potential is there but it was never meant to be a social network, but a work tool/platform. Alas getting the people I collaborate with on Wave will be another thing. - Joelle Nebbe (iphigenie)
Reddit, news.yc, pinboard.in, and Grooveshark - Itachi
I see Google Wave as a new form of email, and your Google Wave address should be protected as much as you'd protect your email address (there are some privacy concerns with making it public) Wave would be great if the kind of email you send and receive would be improved by the extra functionality it provides, but most of the email correspondence I receive is just newsletters and alerts,... more... - April Russo (app103)
Bespin hands down. Integral component in replacing desktop apps. - raphaeL
I'm sure Google Wave will have better year next year. - Kol Tregaskes
I can't live without KatMouse now that I am used to it. - Matt G
Evernote is the biggest new app added to my stable in 2009. And I actually pay for the premium service. SHOCKING. - LANjackal
In the sense that it has helped me access many services in one and like those hits that appear by December and go straight to the top of the charts, I have to say, Google Chrome but with extensions. Believe me I am really sorry to accept this fact. I would prefer some top 5 or top 10 kind of poll :) - Carlos Lorenzo
Matt, what is KatMouse? - Kol Tregaskes
Google Chrome is not really new for me this year. It was virtually my default browser last year. :-) - Kol Tregaskes
Same here. Can't surf without it. - Jeremy (cropmarks)
For me, the best new app has been Launchy. By far. - Jeremy (cropmarks)
Kol KatMouse isn't new but its new for me. Whatever your mouse is on you can scroll. ie you don't have to click on the box to scroll. Kicks arse. - Matt G
Sounds cool. - Kol Tregaskes
ehiti.de/katmouse/ - Matt G
Feedly, posterous, threadsy, and friendfeed, of course. - Michael Fidler
twilio is very cool. I have not use it yet but I like it. I will use - KeremTiryaki
threadsy, posterous, and seesmic (via web) most used. Wave is most impressive but have not been able to implement the way I want. I believe we haven't seen full potential yet. Next year fo-shur. Feedly is reader of choice and Lazyfeed is gaining to give me whats up. - amarquart
Seesmic Desktop is good but he latest version is way to buggy to use so I'm currently using TweetDeck but I'm only using either one (well at least a lot more) because of Twitter Lists. - Kol Tregaskes
Evernote Premium and Flickr Premium I still pay for so they must get a mention. But definitely Friendfeed and Twitter. - Mathew A. Koeneker
I would say Evernote, Dropbox , Feedly and of course Friendfeed. IN the past 3 months I have used the first 2 and just amazed at how I did work before. I am looking for Lazyfeed and posterous to be huge for me next year as I learn how to use them the best. For the iphone I say biteSMS, Cycorder and Pixelpipe have been big for me along with Shazaam. Also, cinch will be huge for me next year. - Amani
Bandcamp.com This site is a godsend to musicians and also very good for music fans (the latter because it offers a large choice of file formats to buy in and also makes it easy to embed music and share via social media). - Spidra Webster
It's not really a web-app (at least not how I use it), but at least a cloud-app: Evernote. It has definitely changed my life for the better. I have also been very impressed with the Mozilla Bespin demo I saw. - Meryn Stol
Google Wave - Pico Seno
Well on the iPhone: Tweetie, Yelp, Ustream Live Broadcaster, Pandora, Snapture, ShopSavvy, Remember The Milk, Shazam, RedLaser, Read It Later, Kinndle App from Amazon, Barns and Noble E-Reader, Kayak.com app, BNO, Bible app, and one of the newest apps I just found last night is a guide for the game FallOut 3. - Colide81 (James)
Online apps that I find I like are well ofcourse FriendFeed, Pandora.com, itunes, twitter, firefox, stumble upon the service and the toolbar, evernote, and much more. Also just to add one more thing to the list of my favorite iphone apps, I have started using eBay to check diferent auctions that I have been running to keep track of bidding prices, and questions bidders may ask me. I also love the Tumblr app. - Colide81 (James)

Yes, because I am male, I waited until today to wrap presents. I'm the best!
thats why I have gift bags - VAL D. Zone
Young female relatives are also handy. "OOOO, Let me wrap them for you!!!!!!" - Alex Scrivener
Oh, I have presents to wrap too. Oh dear. - Derrick
It's the Brotherhood of the Late Wrappers. ;-) - Chris Baskind
Heh. Well, so far, Akiva is still upstairs and all of the wrapping paper is downstairs right here with me... - Rochelle
Thats why I have a sister. - Matt G
Amazon robots wrapped my presents. Sorry, Kargas. - Christopher Harley
Rochelle, you're the one who brought it downstairs last night for some reason. - Akiva Moskovitz
Looking around, I think I'm gonna have to risk a Wal-Mart run for more gift bags. We'll up the ante by doing it on the bicycle. In the rain. That's Christmas! - Chris Baskind
Because I am alpha male, I wrapped 4 prior to today. You may kiss the ring. - Bruce Lewis from fftogo
Akiva, I had to wrap another present. - Rochelle
I got you beat on the stereotyping - I have to go out today and buy most of those things that will be wrapped. Snowstorm kinda socked it to me. - jcunwired
What! You've already bought your presents?!? - Mark It's 2000-Oh-1-Oh J
Does Audrey understand presents yet? - Matthew DeVries
Wait....Presents? For Audrey's first Christmas? - Matthew DeVries
Isn't that why couples have children - to play with their holiday toys? - jcunwired
.... *double checks for boobs* Yep, still got them.... *hides wrapping paper and tape sitting beside her* - Alix Whitmire
OK, there's a break in the weather, and into the hell which is Wal-Mart I go. Wish me luck, fellow procrastinators. This could be my final transmission. ;-) - Chris Baskind
You and me both. - Hel Hel
good luck chris baskind, and because i'm the omega i havent even begun my shopping yet, :p - chaz2b
I HAS SURVIVD. - Chris Baskind
Presents: WRAPPED. - Akiva Moskovitz
I waited until today to even buy anything...bad idea - Rahsheen ™, Coach Rah
You guys are my procrastination heroes. I am truly among professionals. ;-) - Chris Baskind
Even *buying* the presents before today can get you kicked out of the brotherhood! - Ken Morley
but, if you were truly male you wouldnt be wrapping at all. gift wrap and gift bags to the rescue! - chrisofspades
100% gift bags here. Some have been used for years. We need to make this a contest next year. ;-) - Chris Baskind
I'm wrapping presents on Christmas Day! [extenuating circumstances - I am also flying home on Christmas Day] - Jandy, ConcertMaven of FF
Hah, if the store won't do it, newspaper works. - Rick Cogley

Are the official Twitter re-tweets imported into FriendFeed? I don't think I've seen any so far, might be wrong.
Do you mean tweets using twitters re-tweet? If so yes, I just did one and it was imported in a few seconds. - Matt G
Think so. They show up as normal RT's. - Roberto Bonini from iPhone
I just checked. This http://friendfeed.com/guruvan... is what FF imported from a Twitter.com retweet. - guruvan (Rob Nelson)
But they're truncated, even in the middle of a link. - raphaeL
I'd presume they're truncated at a total length of 140chars. The new twitter RT has the "RT @name" in metadata, which is translated on import. FriendFeed need to fix the max length of a tweet. - guruvan (Rob Nelson)

As the Rolf Harris song goes, Santa's reindeer cannot cope with the heat so he has six large white kangaroos, or boomers, pull his sleigh across Australia. - Mellissa from Bookmarklet

I am going to debone chicken wings and stuff them for Christmas lunch, oh and then coat them and deep fry them. I havent worked out the stuffing yet. I'm thinking it should be a crowd pleaser!
Roast duck for main course - all cooked outside on the deck because it will be bloody hot! - Matt G
My sister is doing salt & pepper squid & salads. - Matt G from iPod
My piece de resistance though is a triumph of fusion cuisine - oyster kilpatrick wontons. - Matt G from iPod

@koltregaskes Nothing like hearing a 12 year old laughing and shouting expletives while massacring you to boost the self-esteem :)
someone was on Xbox Live :) - Carlos Urrutia
It sure does. - Jerry Perez
I just can't do it anymore myself. I'm looking for folks to start a group, party up, and avoid having to deal with these idiots on Xbox Live. Just can't do it anymore. - Fleagle
Oh I won't be using the mic and headphones when I'm on Xbox Live. I don't get that with PC games and I don't want on consoles either. ;-) - Kol Tregaskes
Being pwned by 10 year olds is part of the fun. As long as there is no voice chat. I was the best in my clan on Combat Arms but I refused to tell them how old I was. It was fun being part of the clan with the kids though. - Matt G
Matt: lol, nice :) - Amy
Fleagle: I don't really play online that much (plus I have a ps3 not 360) otherwise I'd join you. :) - Amy
That's probably why you don't play online much. ; ) - Jerry Perez
*Says the guy with his 2nd broken Xbox. - Jerry Perez
No, it's coz I frequently find myself swearing like a trooper and would probably get kicked off servers and suchlike. Plus, the times I've played things like Little Big Planet I've had idiots trying to drag our team of 3 players into 4 player areas and whatnot. People are kinda stupid. - Amy

Is this the lost city of Atlantis? Grainy images released showing city-like structures beneath the Caribbean Sea
 | Mail Online
Show all
"A group of 'undersea archaeologists' have become the latest to claim they have uncovered the lost city of Atlantis. The scientists - who have refused to identify themselves - have released a series of images taken beneath the Caribbean. They insist the snaps show what appear to be the ruins of a city that could pre-date Egypt's pyramids, which appeared after 2600BC." - RAPatton from Bookmarklet
the researchers go out of their way to say it is not atlantis, but i posted because this is the first time i've seen photos - RAPatton
Hoax. I think that this area would have been extensively surveyed by oil companies (and others) before now. I hope I am wrong though. - Matt G

Fighting an earworm makes it worse: study › News in Science (ABC Science)
"Psychologists in the UK have discovered the best way to get that annoying Christmas carol out of your head. They also found that 'earworms', unwanted catchy tunes that repeat in your head, are often greater in length and are remembered for longer than our auditory memory capacity was previously thought to allow. The research, by Philip Beaman and Tim Williams of the University of Reading, appears in an upcoming edition of the British Journal of Psychology ." - Matt G from Bookmarklet
"The researchers conducted two studies exploring the nature of earworm experiences, as well as their causes and methods of removing them." - Matt G
Here I was, thinking I was going to read about some icky bug. - Bryce Roney
A bug could be preferable to some of the earworms I have had. - Matt G

Critics blast 'great firewall of Australia' - ABC News (Australian Broadcasting Corporation) - http://www.abc.net.au/news...
""To strengthen cyber safety this Government will introduce legislative amendments to the Broadcast Services Act to require all ISPs to block material rated refused classification that is hosted on overseas servers and therefore not subject to the existing take-down regime."" - Matt G from Bookmarklet
"What we're talking about is a filter that can only intercept accidental access to prohibited material," he said. "Any motivated user will be able to get around it, it will be quite easy, so who is this being targeted at?" - Matt G
Oliver MacColl, the acting national director of lobby group GetUp!, says Senator Conroy's firewall plan hands control of the internet to "the moral minority". "It was through public complaints mechanisms like the one Mr Conroy is proposing that classic literature such as The Catcher in the Rye, Ulysses and The Story of the Kelly Gang were once banned in Australia," he said. - Matt G

Man pictured sitting on a dead whale in the middle of shark feeding frenzy - Telegraph
"Leon Deschamps, 32, said he wants to show that the sharks are not merely blood thirsty killing machines and was prepared to put his own life at risk to prove it. The conservationist from Shark Bay in Western Australia - said people perceive all sharks to be the same and that tiger sharks are victims as a result. e fear tiger sharks because we do not understand them," he said. "They are lumped into the same group as great whites and bull sharks, just because they are a type of shark, but their feeding and predation habits are completely different. "We must be more species specific when we talk about sharks. I want to bring the animals into the public arena, educate people so that they know they are not blood thirsty killing machines. "Tiger sharks are not constantly aggressive. And now people can see that, after I threw myself into the middle of a feeding frenzy." - RAPatton from Bookmarklet
If he had faith in his non-agressive hypothesis he would have been in the water with them. Tiger sharks are agressive by nature, though I am not saying they particularly seek out humans. - Matt G

Children who front Richard Dawkins' atheist ads are evangelicals - http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol...
Children who front Richard Dawkins' atheist ads are evangelicals
"The two children chosen to front Richard Dawkins’s latest assault on God could not look more free of the misery he associates with religious baggage. With the slogan “Please don’t label me. Let me grow up and choose for myself”, the youngsters with broad grins seem to be the perfect advertisement for the new atheism being promoted by Professor Dawkins and the British Humanist Association. Except that they are about as far from atheism as it is possible to be. The Times can reveal that Charlotte, 8, and Ollie, 7, are from one of the country’s most devout Christian families." - Glenn Slaven from Bookmarklet
Wouldn't the fact that they are from a devout Christian family actually be better for the message? - Brian Sullivan
Not sure how, they aren't being 'left to choose' ,they're being raised Christian, and yet at least look happy. Not sure that's the message Dawkins wanted - Glenn Slaven
Isn't the ad directed at Christian (or other religious) parents? Shouldn't the kids being displayed represent their children? - Brian Sullivan
Many children look and act happy before they realize that Santa Claus doesn't really exist... - Jemm
Kids that age don't really get the idea of a deity anyway. Just like they don't get that Santa Claus or the Easter Bunny don't really exist. Parents can teach children this young to say certain common phrases of their particular religious beliefs, but until the children are a bit older they're just parroting their parents anyway. - Jason, Queazy
what? no Santa? liar - the Grinch must have put you up to saying that . . . - William Harryman
LOL. Also, if the guy didn't want his kids on a bumper sticker promoting religious choice, he shouldn't have put his children's pictures in a stock photo gallery. - Jason, Queazy
BTW, atheist or not, this phrase should irk parents: “The message is that the labelling of children by their parents’ religion fails to respect the rights of the child and their autonomy. We are saying that religions and philosophies — and ‘humanist’ is one of the labels we use on our poster — should not be foisted on or assumed of young children.” Children this age are not and should... more... - Jason, Queazy
i'll still love my kids just the same no matter how their beliefs eventually shake out. - Joe Silence
My headline would be "One of England's most devout Christian families pimps images of their children to atheist movement" - Matt G
People, Dawkins is a Humanist, not an Atheist. He says so himself. And why pass judgment on anyone involved. Maybe this "devout Christian family" knew the marketing agency or even the designer. - Kevin L
to alot of the Ultra-Right Super Christians of my acquaintance (i live in Texas, they're like mosquitoes here), there's no difference between a Humanist and an Atheist. alot of them also believe global warming is a myth. - Joe Silence

My Twitter.com home page has a new "Retweets" page, which is most awesome. Does yours have it yet?
No I do not have a "Retweets" page on my Twitter.com home page - Kevin Tunis

Not yet :( - zʍıɔ

not yet - Daryl Hunt on FF
I do have a spiteful jealous of your new feature button though Robert. Hey did you Check out the list tag cloud prototype I emailed you? - Mark Essel from iPhone
I see it on mine now, and realize I have not been ReTweeted, yet. - Rubin
I too have the new retweet feature. :) - ashish
On my work account, yes. Haven't checked my personal one yet today. - Laura Norvig
Yes I have it... - Richard pancakhaus Walker
Just got it. - Eric Logan
I like the fact that the tweet is still FROM the original person, with a "retweeted by" underneath. Good for "discovery." - Richard pancakhaus Walker
Have it, but it's not clear how its collecting this information or for how long now. - 3Cinteractive, L.L.C. from twhirl

Yep! And I also really like it. - joey
Nope. - Kol Tregaskes
Yes, it is back again. - Jemm
Nope... but it had one hell of a CSS problem just a minute ago.... - .LAG liked that
I like the retweet page. The retweets in my normal feed I'm not so sure if I like - Tamara
mine is there. - Nathalie, Dreamer of FF
My Twitter account has a whale. - howard shippin
yes, since nov 10 - the retweet feature was temporarily disabled last week but it's finally back! - barbarars
Yeah, I too got a punch of erecting self-esteem when found that I was A Chosen One Among Others )) being a beta-tester for a new Twitter feature. And now seriously - good idea, and good implementation. Everything is done stylish, keeping minimalistic Twitter spirit. As for me personally, RT timilines will be my must-read Twi-parts from now on as I find there a lot of interesting and useful links or ideas I would surely miss without this feature. - massagin
One of my accounts does. My main account does not. :( - Otto
Mine does! :) It is awesome. - Jorge Escobar
Have it but doesn't appear to function if viewing tweets within a list. - Dana Fosburgh
Have #NewRTs back on as well, still don't like them -> http://bit.ly/wTX4b I'll have to make a mock-up of what the feature should have looked like. - Alex Schleber
it does indeed - i'm liking it - Marco(aureliusmaximus)
it does-but im not sure why they didnt let us make comments- thats the good stuff - Elizabeth Beskin
Elizabeth: I disagree. If Twitter had comments it would be like Facebook or FriendFeed. It would also get very noisy very quickly and one thing I like about Twitter is that I control everything that appears in my streams. Adding comments would change that radically. - Robert Scoble

Domain Owners! Talk to me! What I want: to register a domain. (at a decent price) To have a tumblr site that uses that domain name. So not so much hosting but parking? (is that right?) Where do I go? I need names people! (oh and thank you :) )
If you'd prefer to pay a lot of money, try http://www.register.com or http://www.networksolutions.com - Glen, Bespectacled Elder
Godaddy also has a 30% off sale right now, until Nov. 30, making domains about $7 and change. I'll find you the coupon code. - Trish R
I use google apps, but I think they use GoDaddy. - Matt G
It looks like I know what direction I am going in. I guess it's a good thing I already have an account there huh. - aden {still not ginger}
cheapnames is decent. I can never get over the godaddy interface enough to use them. - Todd Hoff
That is one of my biggest issues with godaddy. - aden {still not ginger}
Yes, the interface and the advertisements. I see both of them seldom enough that I haven't bothered to actually switch, but whenever I encounter one or the other I consider it. - s t e v e
I've been very happy with 1&1 (1and1.com)--decent domain prices, no sexist ads, autorenewal of domains with advance notice, and I don't think they build "parking pages" full of ads. - Walt Crawford
I use http://domainsite.com for mine. Not the cheapest but I've never had an issue with them, have been able to reach them on the phone, and they have an integrated Google Apps setup if you want it. - FFing Enigma (aka Tina)

I am so happy about this. There is no reason it should be pitch black at 7 in the morning every day. - Curtiss Grymala
No worries Alex, but it's my turn to be pedantic. It's Daylight Saving. No "s". Grammatically, a parallel phrase could be Sunshine Conserving Time. :) - Micah Wittman
I like Daylight Savings Time, since I'm not a morning person, I prefer it to be daylight at 7-9pm at night. :) - Ray Cromwell
Does this mean I get an extra hour of sleep in the morning, at first? And I thought the US was going to do away with daylight savings. What happened to that? - Miss Elle
I'd be happy if we just kept it one way or another. Figure out which one is better and stick to it. :) - Matt Mastracci
Totally with you on this, Alex. Only problem is, my cat, Simon, doesn't grok the whole DST...in fact, the last several years, he's tried to "spring forward" another hour in the fall. :-/ - vicster is...
Can I have a "HELL YEAH"? - Jorge Escobar
booyahz! - imabonehead
Ours ended last weekend. :-) - Kol Tregaskes
Where I come from, if there is is a more controversial topic than religion or politics it's daylight savings! We don't have it in my state (Qld) and the other major states in Australia do. Which means if you deal with businesses in other states, you need to answer the phone etc. for an extra hour every day. I want daylight savings! By the way the sun rises here at approx. 4.00 am. - Matt G

A Review of the Pirated Copy of Windows 7 I Bought On eBay | Cracked.com - http://www.cracked.com/blog...
A Review of the Pirated Copy of Windows 7 I Bought On eBay  | Cracked.com
"So I decided to apply my powerful brain to the problem, and find out what Windows 7 would mean for you, the average user. With only pre-release versions and betas available for download, to get a copy of the actual release version, I had to turn to eBay, where leaked copies have shown up recently. $150 and two days later, a package of bubble wrapped, technological delights arrived on my doorstep. I giddily tore open the packaging to reveal the contents" - Travis Koger from Bookmarklet
I assume you are not talking about *YOUR* copy of Win 7 Travis? But instead this is a quote from the article right? =P - Matt G
Travis Koger
BBC NEWS | Technology | Europe adopts tough piracy stance - Booooooooooooooo! You SUCK Europe! - http://news.bbc.co.uk/1...
The European Parliament has given the green light for member states to cut persistent file-sharers off from the net. It has dropped an amendment to its Telcoms Package which would have made it hard for countries to cut off pirates without court authority. It follows pressure from countries keen to adopt tough anti-piracy laws. The French government has just approved plans which could see pirates removed from the net for up to a year. The UK's file-sharing policy is also likely to include a clause about disconnecting persistent offenders. The European Parliament was originally opposed to such legislation, claiming internet access was a basic human right. An amendment to its forthcoming telecoms legislation was designed to protect citizen's rights to internet access. - Travis Koger from Bookmarklet
So, yet again, it appears that lobbyists cash has more influence over policy than common sense. I'm not endorsing the sharing of pirated software/games/movies but cutting people off completely is not the right approach. Tiered levels of bandwidth reduction down to a 128kb speeds would quickly discourage the vast majority of offenders. - Andrew Terry
Yep and yet again it shows that politicians are just corrupt greedy idiots. I just love the two sided approach by Brown and Mandelson, one says that Internet Access is as basis a human right as Gas and Water etc, the other says that you will be cut off from that 'right' if you do something that a private company who have likely illegally obtained information about a 'persistent' offender by breaking privacy laws etc says. Of course no one other than pirates are concerned about this right? - Travis Koger
I am not a pirate either Andrew and don't agree with it myself, but they are just stupid to take this line. Again it shows how little the government actually understands how technology *really* works, even with their overpriced 'consultants' advising them of the direction they should take. - Travis Koger
Its only a matter of time until it happens here. The test case is currently in court actually (they chose iinet not the big two ISPs). I don't have high hopes. If the record/movie companies lose they will increase the lobbying of government. - Matt G
Matt, yeah I have been following the iinet case. I think they actually have some potential to make a good argument thanks to their stance. The big ISP are more than likely to get into bed with the Movie and Music industry than fight them. - Travis Koger
I think that they would have strongly defended this case, they don't want the responsibility (until it is regulated or legislated anyway), it would be bad for business. - Matt G
