Its like banning 'Bolt' being too fast from 100 m. This should not deter the kid, he is bound to go places. - Jayavasanthan J

40 mph is too fast? Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't 100 mph balls not-too-uncommon in Cricket? - Yuvi

Enough with the sensationalism. ;) He hasn't been banned from baseball, he's was asked not to pitch in his LITTLE league. - Greg

All the time,Yuvi. And I don't see anyone complaining! - Roberto Bonini

100 mph is not common in cricket ...infact only a few have reach that mark. Most Guys are in 80 mph range...also here we are talking about 9 year olds - Hakim

Ridiculous, this boy should be pampered. - Mo Kargas

@Hakim - While not exactly common, a few have reached it. 95 mph is common for the likes of Lee and Akthar. And I assume the West Indies former fasties bowled as fast. - Yuvi

Wow, it does not seem like they're handling that the right way. - Rachel R.

discovered in chennai, 9 year old fast bowler, banned from convent school team ... - Gregory Lent

Someone let this kid know he's welcome in Richmond County, VA! - Mike Lewis

how can you get over having to physically carry 4 devices. that would be really hard for me. i would have to wear two pairs of pants for the extra pockets! - Jeff DiStanlo

I've always thought that was the problem with the wireless industry. Not one carrier has the most efficient service and not one phone is capable of superbly handling a multitude of tasks. Perhaps one day soon things will be more seamless and one phone will do it all? Nice to see no mention of Blackberry amongst your collection. - James

hehe.. and I thought I carried too many gadgets in my purse. ;) - Daynah

Maybe with one of those european man-bags ;) - Sally Church via fftogo

I expect that if one ever runs into the mythical Scoble he has all of his phones on his utility belt, like Batman - David Thomas

The iPhone is best for...? - Christian Anderson via fftogo

the Internet? - Sally Church via fftogo

What makes the BJ2 such a good email phone? Curious. - Akshay Dodeja

blackberry has its place, too. but the new palm treo with windows mobile that i've been playing with is giving it a serious run. n95 best at being a phone and replacing my pocket camera. iPhone's web browser beauty doesn't counter its weaknesses for me, sadly. and the "mythical" scoble doesn't have a phone, he has a direct connection to friendfeed in his mind. the real one has pockets. - Andrew Feinberg

Actually, the in-the-flesh Scoble is even better than digital Scoble. Nicest guy you'll meet. Friendly, inquisitive, inclusive. When you meet him, you want to hang out with him.-- no visible utility belt. - Christian Anderson via fftogo

Christian: are you happy to see me or is that a vibrating Nokia in your pocket? :-) - Robert Scoble

i was referring to the concept of "scoble" in norse mythology. not really. - Andrew Feinberg

Robert you are treating phones as women ...one is never perfect and men always want more than one - Hakim

Hakim: no comment! :-) - Robert Scoble

Getting the N82 tomorrow can't wait to play with it...Does anyone objectively believe the blackjack 2 can out perform most of the latest BlackBerrys? Is is the best for you Scoble because it is your only phone with a full qwerty keyboard. Just Curious - Tatenda Mbavarira

Robert: lol :) - Christian Anderson via fftogo

I carry 3MP Samsung A707 (AT&T), Verizon LG Voyager (2MP), iPod Touch, VZW USB EVDO, OQO UMPC, and Cradlepoint battery powered wifi router. Plus 13" Macbook and Dell Latitude D630. That's my backpack pretty much. - Brian Daniel Eisenberg

I carry one phone (Nokie E61i) best for calling and taking calls, and SMS and reading e-mails. Also, I carry a Canon PS A530, best for taking photos. - Roland Hesz

see and people think I'm bad, I have 3 phones, iPhone 1st Gen, blackberry worldphone (work, email only), Nokia N95 for video - Wayne Sutton

I carry around a LG Dare for phone calls and Music and a Blackberry Curve for text, email, and web browsing. Kinda of a pain to carry 2 phones but I haven't found the "end all, be all" phone yet. - Andy Breeding

i thought i was bad with an iPhone and a regular phone - David Adewumi

My Motorola StarTAC was da bomb. Seriously. - Kevin C. Tofel

Bring the StsrTAC back! Funny a buddy of mine just was telling me that was his fav phone back in the day. - Jay Martin

The StarTAC was my all time favourite phone too, although the batteries were crappy. Wonderful little gadget with pure sound quality, not some tinny echo you get these days in most mobiles today. - Sally Church

"Yes, it's me, abusing my baby pictures quotient on FriendFeed again. But in case you wanted to get a visual on Sarah's size, here's one item for comparison - the iPod Touch. Also included, Matthew, sleeping next to the iPod Touch, TiVo remote and Blackberry. It's better than using a ruler!" - Louis Gray

Man, the iPhone is so BIG - Aaron Brazell

LOL LOUIS!!!! - Mona N.

This will replace the pencil markings on the wall as a measurement of growth. - Hutch Carpenter

Way too cute! - Nice Fish Films

will there be an unboxing at some point - Allen Stern

The TiVo remote has hardly changed at all in 10 years. - Robert Seidman

WOW, they are SMALL! cool pics!! I love the one with the baby on the couch with 3 devices - Susan Beebe

Okay that's just really damn cute :) - justine

one day these kids are going to say, 'dad used us as props for his gadgets!'...and then there will be blood! lol - .LAGizmoto

@.LAG, then I'll remind them how when we parked in what I thought was acceptable shade outside Babies R Us today, they both went nuts, and I had to extract them from their car seats and walk into the store (using the exit), with the pair held tight to my chest, to commiserate with their mother. I'm sure I was quite the sight. "Hey! Look at that guy! He's in over his head!" (fingers pointing) - Louis Gray

Hey! Someone should say you - this is really unhealthy!! : ( - Erhan Erdogan

@Louis - You definitely look in over your head. However, I was that way with only one. Now my children are 21 and 18 and I still remain in over my head. ; ) - Rex Hammock

This made Maryam crack up and say "that's cute!" - Robert Scoble

in terms of Product Design i still think GOD(Evolution) did a better job than jobs ...:-) - Hakim

@Rex, I look in over my head? Definitely? Where's the proof on that? I disagree. :-) - Louis Gray

Maybe good idea to get the RF away from the newborns? Just sayin'. Amazing scale comparison pics though Louis. Thanks for sharing. Now get those radio wave emitting devices away from the generation that will hopefully save us all :) - Brian Daniel Eisenberg

I don't believe you all - Robert, Louis, Maryam, all likes, comments - i urgently need a judge for this photos! : ) Your tech love is get out of control!! - Erhan Erdogan

now let's see the Touch duke it out with the Blackberry - Paulo via twhirl

I'm so going to do this one day when I have one. haha - Daynah

@Erhan and Brian, 1) They're not sleeping with the gadgets in their cribs (yet) and 2) I am not worried about that nonsense. I might as well unplug the microwave and TV while I'm at it, no? - Louis Gray

We always left a computer keyboard in our kids cribs as a toy -- they loved it. - Jay Tannenbaum

The important thing to remember is that if Louis were forced to choose between his children and his gadgets,,,well, I'm sure the kids would find a good home. (JUST KIDDING!) - Ontario Emperor

definitely unplug the tv!! :-) - Gregory Lent

Yeah, I know I know Louis. I'm just waiting for the time I go to the Dr. to get the "news" after having gone through life carrying 3+ mobiles around in my pocket. It's safe to carry 3+ phones + EVDO + Cradlepoint wifi in my pockets right? - Brian Daniel Eisenberg

@Louis: Yeah...and might as well not have had a kid to begin with...I mean, Radio waves bombard this planet CONSTANTLY...if RF signals are THAT dangerous, none of us should have kids. [/sarcasm] On a more serious note, love the pics...I have one on the way myself...my wife is due 10/21. - Sean McGee

lmao I'm so reporting you for this. Too hilarious - Corvida

Hey guys you have to see this related post... Scoble is competing with Louis' over coolest kid toys! http://friendfeed.com/e/caa0bc... - Susan Beebe

Again with the cute overload! They're so tiny which makes them even more cute! - Candace Holly

OMG! that's priceless! I <3 it! Put the device on vibrate and see what happens! I bet it would sooth any crankiness. Can you say iTunes visualizer? Better than Baby Einstein. Makes us AND them drool into relaxation. My son has gumdrop iMac in his bedroom specifically for that reason (glorified nightlight). Hey! We have to do what we have to do, right? Why not have some fun with it? Hellz ya! - TheMacMommy via twhirl

You know Louis, most parents use a wall and a pencil to show height and growth, you choose electronic equipment, what comes next? comparisons to the wii and ps3? then a macbook, then macbook pro, then dell blade server, where will it end?!!?!? - Allen Stern

Oh what beautiful little souls! I'm sure they are very precious to you :-). - Heather Colman

umm... it's not too heavy on him?! - Orli Yakuel

those photos are really embarassingly sad. Please leave the kids alone. - Claudio Cicali

A coochii coo! They are too cute! Twins are born small but they'll catch up in no time! Congrats! - zoblue (Zulema)

LOL.. awesome pics - Aviv

Not loading for me :( (the pictures) - Bjorn Tipling

apparently Amazon S3 is down - Shey

Total weirdness - the cuteness overload causes the pics to show for me even when S3 is down! It might be just my cache, ofcourse, but I like the first theory better :) - Yuvi

I'll take the electronics when the kids are all grown up. It won't matter to me that the stuff is decades old. - possible248

oh this is ROFL! - susan mernit

Ok, from one tech geek to another, that has to be the most cute thing I've ever seen. =) - David Cook

Google: We Can't Figure Out How To Make Money On Web Video, Either

who has? hulu.... - Hakim

nice quote - "we're told that Google has found that 80% to 90% of video-watchers flee the instant they see one of the ads" - silpol

Provide online access to everything the studio produces and then give me still shots of every scene with windows I click through to purchase everything in the frame. Dishes, clothes, bicycles, books, suitcases, tile counters, artwork, rugs etc. Use the profits from contemporary works to fund the production of period pieces. But for God's sake, stop asking me to give you money for merely looking at your tired old media! - Christopher Harley

/like ^^^ much - 9000

+1 for the direct access to purchasing products in the video/picture - xero

Shared. Digg is dead. Long live Digg :-) - Roberto Bonini

How about Like'd - Yu-Shan

On a more practical note though, being shared probably has the benefit that traffic ramps up more organically, less likely to bring down your site - Yu-Shan

The funny thing about Digg is that it always impresses me from a techincal point of view, I always find and enjoy a story I've not read before and yet I don't use it regularly. It has no addictive qualities like FriendFeed. - Toby Graham

Shared definitely. The irony of Digg is that it is a "social bookmarking" site but there are no social categories and most of the "popular" diggers slate social media. With Sharing at least you are normally getting your post seen by its target audience. - Colin Walker via fftogo

Shared. a) I never get to make it to the front page since we've been auto-buried for over a year. b) Digg is a lot of one-time, non-sticky traffic for the most part. - Cyndy

shared - not a big digg user - Ron Emrick via Alert Thingy

shared, i don't use digg either, and neither do a lot of the people who i would like to see my content - Samuel Bostock

I would prefer it to be shared. Digg just gives one time traffic...and basically digg is not suitable for all niches - Saad Kamal

eh, neither. Just commented on. I write to learn, not to be famous. - Vincent van Wylick via fftogo

Dugg or Shared or.... Liked? - Tim Connors

Why is "ignored" not an option? - Slippy Lane

Both. - xero

As long as they are brought into FF, it doesn't matter - Bryan Clark

Shareing an item here is a s good as digging it. Duplicate items appearing here clog up the system. So as long as it ends up here. - Roberto Bonini
