"Thank you, Mark. I apologize for the reference to WebMoney, which I had never seen before. I know only what the speaker told us, and what I saw when he demonstrated those live sites: criminals were indeed asking for Webmoney or Western Union transfers. I will change the body of the post to reflect the fact that Webmoney is a legitimate Paypal alternative."

"First, I agree with you about the HMO Act of 1973. Second, I don't think the president and the administration think health care is a constitutional right. But I do think that many citizens think it's an ethical right because all other developed nations extend it to their people."

"What did that mean? What word?"
- Francine Hardaway
Re: Public Policy and Venture Capital - http://www.avc.com/a_vc...
"There's probably a lot of truth in what you say. But I've been angel investing all my adult life, and if they raise the threshhold for accredited investors, I could be eliminated because I'm just a person who loves to be a part of innovation and is willing to pay the price for doing so. Raising the numerical requirement is a stupid idea, because by this time (age 68) I'm a pretty knowledgeable and experienced investor. Shouldn't accreditation be based on answering questions about your understanding of risk, or of what you are investing in, rather than a dollar figure? Those Madoff investors didn't know enough about what they were investing in, and that's a function of involvement in your investment, not a questions of how much money you can afford to lose. Don't invest passively from the sidelines, and you have a better chance of winning. Passive investment is magical thinking."

Re: Stuck In The Middle With You - http://www.avc.com/a_vc...
"I probably shouldn't get into this, but...I am a pragmatist. I also know quite a bit about health care. Not having reform will continue the dramatic cost shift that's been taking place in America since the 70s at least, in which the poor show up at the emergency room, the most expensive place to get treated, and the middle class and the rich pay for it with high health insurance premiums. Costs are shifted all over the health care system, allowing for incredible waste and fraud. That's why it costs $10 for an aspirin in a hospital. The uninsured also cost businesses a pretty penny in lost productivity, especially in the small businesses that can't afford the premiums. I could go further, but you might want to see www.ushealthcrisis.com or HuffPo for more of my posts on this. Political issues to the side, we can't afford not to do health care reform, although I'm disgusted with the way Obama is handling it. The idea that 85% of Americans are satisfied with their insurance is hilarious..."

Etherpad Goes to Google - Just Another Silicon Valley Soap Opera http://www.readwriteweb.com/archive...
Morton Fox and Cathryn Hrudicka liked this
Imagine how the starving entrepreneur outside Silicon Valley feels. Lacking the opportunity to get that Google job, he has to bootstrap it in his home town, which may be a desert, and pray for traction without funding or connections. Every once in a while, Google buys one of these, too, and then the entrepreneur, who has left his home town, gets absorbed into Google and you never see him again back home. And thus no community outside the Bay Area grows angels or mentors. #justsayin

Will start in a few minutes, I'm hanging out waiting for the usual Skype call. I will have a ton of different hats on today's show.
- Robert Scoble
let the games begin
- Vezquex: God of FF
First hat will be a google one. Let's see if Gillmor can get me to put on the Silverlight one.
- Robert Scoble
dividing attention between this and health care debate. It could be an interesting exercise.
- Karoli
Karoli: cool, one conversation is important. You figure out which one. :-)
- Robert Scoble
i never did like silverlight
- Chris Jackson
You have actual hats?
- Vezquex: God of FF
Yes. Lots of hats.
- Robert Scoble
I heard you were handed your hat a few times last night ;-)
- Jerry Schuman
a few, yes
- Robert Scoble
and it begins
- michael sean wright
we are on!
- Robert Scoble
Dan Farber of CBS News.
- Robert Scoble
comcast merger, anyone?
- Karoli
Squeeee! Doc's back...been way too long.
- Karoli
I have one of those Google caps.
- Vezquex: God of FF
I'm sure that Google knowing every time anybody on the internet visits any other site has nothing to do with it, right?
- Ken Sheppardson
Great for Analytics.
- Vezquex: God of FF
i.e. inserting themselves (potentially) into every client->server connection process
- Ken Sheppardson
it's not just delivery, it's content control.
- Karoli
Adds a new spin to the net neutrality argument
- Ken Sheppardson
robert, comcast might not want you to use bing. they might want you to only use yahoo.
- Karoli
More media consolidation in the hands of fewer and fewer corporations is always a good thing

- Cliff Gerrish
It's also interesting in the context of the fact DirecTV viewers no longer get the Versus sports network, as they couldn't negoiate a deal with Comcast
- Ken Sheppardson
ask Al Gore how he feels about their negotiations re: Current TV
- Karoli
and Versus carries a lot of the niche or edge sporting events
- bear (aka Mike Taylor)
great point, Doc.
- Karoli
Comcast is very aggressive in keeping out local competitors - they have bought every local cable company or forced them out. They have locked out all local sporting events
- bear (aka Mike Taylor)
Yeah, here in San Francisco we couldn't get the Stanford/Cal game this fall... it was on Versus. And it means no daily, live Tour de France coverage next July :-(
- Ken Sheppardson
It was "rooter" before people started to mispronounce it.
- Gregg H.
I wonder what this means for their TV On Demand section - currently NBC is not listed for any shows and CBS is very big in that list. Will this change and now NBC will only be On Demand? Will Hulu now be a Comcast Cable only site?
- bear (aka Mike Taylor)
The Network has changed to the point that combining cable + tv production can't corner the market in anything.
- Cliff Gerrish
consolidation of power and message control
- Karoli
cliff, they own the network.
- Karoli
Messages can be sent from any node.
- Cliff Gerrish
cliff, if i have no access to nbc news because i'm not a comcast subscriber, the messages aren't especially helpful.
- Karoli
Don't you have access to NBC news via the network?
- Cliff Gerrish
cliff - they already "load balance" based on where/when you are streaming from/to - so now what's to prevent them from load balancing all ABC/CBS sites in favour of NBC?
- bear (aka Mike Taylor)
Cliff, will I continue to?
- Karoli
@Karoli - Comcast/NBC will become an out of network network :)

There's no need to fear silverlight. It will die quickly. HTML 5 will make sure of that.

Tradeoff? Silverlight is a 15 second install...
- Rob La Gesse
silverlight will go the way of google gears
- Chris Jackson
Gregg, I'll only believe that when we have the Olympics streamed live in HTML5.
- Vezquex: God of FF
NetFlix watch instantly is a nice example of Silverlight -- this relates to the Comcast deal.
- Cliff Gerrish
Google Gears didn't DO anything - Silverlight does.
- Rob La Gesse
I think all this stuff is inevitable. do we still need cable? or broadcast? for how long?
- Francine Hardaway
from BuddyFeed
Vezquex, you'll see it
- Gregg H.
Francine, the argument against the acquistion is that they'll control the Network. They won't.
- Cliff Gerrish
That's a good question - will Comcast/NBC still allow Netflix/Mediafly content to be streamed at full speed or will it become traffic shaped
- bear (aka Mike Taylor)
you mean will the net be.. you know... neutral?
- Ken Sheppardson
Google will spank properties that throttle - that alone will keep them playing fair.
- Rob La Gesse
All proprietary un-free software and platforms will lose in the long run.
- Gregg H.
Cliff, they already do. If I am watching a streaming video for more than 5 minutes I get traffic shaped. If i'm watching Comcast On Demand I do not. Will Hulu now be traffic shaped or will it get a pass? That what will be the clue if they are acting in a network neutral manner
- bear (aka Mike Taylor)
Windows is dog slow on good rigs, whereas Chrome OS is fast even on weak hardware.

CrunchPad update?

that's what i'm waiting for - CrunchPad questions

what's traffic shaped
- Francine Hardaway

Silverlight adjusts to the speed of the bandwidth...
- Cliff Gerrish
scoble - diet coke is bad.....
- Chris Jackson
Francine - it is basically throttling of your bandwidth based on content and/or destination
- Rob La Gesse
Francine - if i'm streaming a video on Comcast the first 5 or so minutes are at my full bandwidth capability (15mbs) but if I continue past that point the speed of the video drops to less than 1mbs
- bear (aka Mike Taylor)
But Silverlight is from Microsoft. How can it be good?
- Vezquex: God of FF
See Moonlight + Mono....
- Cliff Gerrish
Amazing Silverlight is actually seeing some traction. Developer Cuz predicted it would 2 years ago.
- JimmyJet
When Google switches Youtube videos to Ogg Theora natively palyabe in HTML 5 Browsers I think Gillmor and others that deride the importance of free software codecs and platforms will have a revelation
- Gregg H.
bah - I have to run an errand - I wish the video show could be viewed later
- bear (aka Mike Taylor)
wish those questions had been asked in 2001
- Karoli
Bear - it can - they are always posted on building43.com a few days later.
- Rob La Gesse
Gillmor Gang is available on YouTube - your DVR of choice...
- Cliff Gerrish
google'll be using h264 and html5 video before any os codec
- Kevin Marks
Silverlight is as un-free as you can get.
- Gregg H.
oh snap! I had no clue - thanks rob and cliff

Silverlight is every bit as free as Google Search

Is locked down linux an open system?
- Cliff Gerrish
The importance of the use of our computer devices in our lives are fundamental. That's why the software and hardware has to be free. Otherwise we don't control our lives. The software and hardware providers control our lives. That's the problem Steve.
- Gregg H.
But you need a real computer to debug anything. You couldn't actually debug from within Chrome OS.
- Vezquex: God of FF
Is ChromeOS going to give you access to the command line?
- Cliff Gerrish
Gregg - that's crazy. As crazy as "free" healthcare.
- Rob La Gesse
strange disconnect between these guys talking about high tech and Mike opening a plastic insane package with his teeth.
- Karoli
"free" as in freedom
- Gregg H.
CromiumOS is free
- Gregg H.
Rob, "free" as in accessible to all but a few elite.
- Karoli
Freedom isn't free - far from it.

The importance of the use of cars, homes, electricity and food in our lives are fundamental. That's why cars, homes, electricity and food has to be free. Otherwise we don't control our lives. [oh, "free" free]

Chromium is NOT free. I pay for it with my attention and my gestures - and Google profits off both.
- Rob La Gesse
free as in radical

"opening a plastic insane package with his teeth" Either a good way to take out aggression or raise blood pressure, take your choice.

If we understand that phones are going to the Network -- why don't we see that television is going there as well.
- Cliff Gerrish
Aside from a philosophical view. After being Windows free for 2 years and being free of malware, spyware, adware, and not having to run virus scan software and all that crap, I really don't understand why people like Gillmor think Linux is second class to Windows. I would never want the pain and horrible experience of using Windows again purely for practical reasons.

Gregg, I understand Windows 7 is quite nice. I'm planning to buy a cheap Windows 7 notebook as a backup machine.
