"I think Zyb sucks, so I won't be using their services. They are the kinda of service that wants to urgently reconnect me to my friends... BLAH! " - Hayes Haugen via Bookmarklet

I'm loving the urgent reconnection with my friends of this new FriendFeed realtime mini window. - James Prudente

connect damn you, connect! - Hayes Haugen

"channels" + "conversations" - Hayes Haugen

I need to research the August 2007 asset-backed drop. I get the recent financials plunge. Still, overall, this doesn't paint the picture of a "frozen" market to me. - Hayes Haugen via Bookmarklet

on a positive note, the delevering of the hedge funds, derivitaives and finacial engineering increase the relative value of innovation, execution and efficiency improvements. - James Prudente

also, read umair for the skinny on the opportunity: http://discussionleader.hbsp.c... - James Prudente

My reaction: more proof that T-Mobile and Sprint suck at running their businesses. - Hayes Haugen via Bookmarklet

Oh no they did not! Come on McCain, you stuff up finance reform and now telecom?! This election is such a crock of shit now! - Adam

visible celebrity using your product = go to great lengths. - Hayes Haugen

is that assignment or comparison? - James Prudente

"IN ECONOMIC theory the winner’s curse refers to the idea that someone who places the winning bid in an auction may have paid too much." - Hayes Haugen via Bookmarklet

Price is a good way to go in this economy and when you have 10x the cash of your competitor (though neither can bank all that on their console). - Hayes Haugen via Bookmarklet

20% of the search market for roughly 20% the price of goog. If someone told me to go get 20% of the search market yhoo (market cap: $17 B) would be a freakin bargain. And yahoo.com traffic is the SAME as google.com. - Hayes Haugen via Bookmarklet

657 movies you can watch right now on imdb. - James Prudente via Bookmarklet

All sourced from Hulu. Amazon again positioning themselves as the conduit. I like. - Hayes Haugen

good point. http://www.hulu.com/movies might be a better way to find these. Hulu, originally panned by the TC crowd has really done what no one else has been able to do. Bring free full length TV and Movie content to the web. - James Prudente

""The film business has always been full of strange characters," he says. "Who the hell gets into this business but gamblers and buccaneers and pirates? You don't get Henry Paulson as a producer in this business, that's for sure."" - Hayes Haugen via Bookmarklet

With price targets at $140. Buy! - Hayes Haugen via Bookmarklet

Even after the fall AAPL is worth basically 10x what it was 5 years ago. Market cap just under GOOG. Doesn't seem right. - Hayes Haugen via Bookmarklet

not sure what you mean by "Doesn't seem right." GOOG is long on everything while AAPL focuses on products. Both are smart given GOOG's net dominance and AAPL's design sense. Different strategies but both are currently dominating their niche. Right now its apples and oranges. Which strategy is stronger, right now I'd give it to GOOG. - James Prudente

I think of Apple as a durable goods manufacturer in the luxury electronics arena. Wouldn't put my money there in a downturn. Google seems much wider, but then again they are dependent on advertising. Which one would you rather own? - Hayes Haugen

Definitely long on GOOG, but until the TED spread shrinks fundamentals don't matter. - James Prudente

"downtown Seattle area -- from Yesler Way north to Denny Way (includes several Vulcan projects) and from I-5 west to Elliott Bay. There are about 950 available condos right now, which includes all resales and all new construction in that area. This is likely the highest inventory we'll see for the next several years given the credit crunch (no new projects have broken ground in a year)." - Hayes Haugen via Bookmarklet

I like many parts of it, but I don't think it's a business model. It's an organizational model. In the end you have to make a profit or the business ends. I'm interested in modeling the market into the organization and the engineering side. - Hayes Haugen

That used to be my cheap night out years ago when I had no job. A great combo. (nice Basquiat too) - Hayes Haugen via Bookmarklet

"Executives who will stay include head of home loans David Schneider, head of commercial lending Al Brooks, chief information officer Deb Horvath, chief risk officer John McMurray and head of credit card operations Tony Vuoto." - wow...very interesting that JPM wanted these guys and tossed the other top execs. - Hayes Haugen via Bookmarklet

"This Washington Post-ABC News poll was conducted by telephone September 27-29, 2008, among a random national sample of 1,271 adults, 1,070 registered voters and 916 likely voters." - Hayes Haugen via Bookmarklet

"Mike, who wanted to be identified only by his first name, told KING-5 that he saw a Craigslist ad last week seeking workers for a road-maintenance project. He inquired and was e-mailed instructions to meet near the bank at 11 a.m. Tuesday and to wear specific clothing. "Yellow vest, safety goggles, a respirator mask ... and, if possible, a blue shirt," Mike told KING-5. No contractor met Mike and about a dozen other similarly dressed men who showed up at the bank" - Hayes Haugen via Bookmarklet

"Units have left the factory and are on their way to the shops in the UK and Nordic markets where they should be available in the next week or so." - Hayes Haugen via Bookmarklet

"traced back to credit default swaps, which ballooned into a $62 trillion market before ratcheting down to $55 trillion last week—nearly four times the value of all stocks traded on the New York Stock Exchange." - Hayes Haugen via Bookmarklet

"Henry Nicholas isn’t just another tech-boom billionaire charged with backdating stock options. All the drive, arrogance, and aggression he poured into building microchip-maker Broadcom—one of the major success stories of the Internet Age—morphed into an increasing obsession with sex and drugs, according to federal prosecutors." - Hayes Haugen via Bookmarklet

"Over the last month, from August 26th to Sept 26th, the National Debt has increased $254 billion as the recession has started to significantly impact government revenues. It looks like $10 trillion will be passed very soon." - James Prudente via Bookmarklet

"Note that the y-axis doesn't start at zero to better show the change." That old trick. Though the point is well taken that all these financial maneuvers are going on our books. - Hayes Haugen

"“The major message,” Dr. Klausner said, “is that no matter how compelling and exciting a hypothesis is, we don’t know whether it works without clinical trials.”" - Hayes Haugen via Bookmarklet

Of course I think this is a good thing. - Hayes Haugen via Bookmarklet

"Conspiracy theories. They were annoying enough when it was just people talking bollocks in pubs. But now with the Internet, there are forums. These people can find each other. There was one great conspiracy theory about the end of our HBO series, "Extras." In the last episode we had a scene with my partner on the show, Stephen Merchant, and Robert De Niro—and the conspiracy theory was that De Niro was not actually in the room with Stephen. "You can see that it's a split screen," they claimed. Right. We got De Niro, but the hard bit was getting Stephen in the same room. That makes sense. It's just people who think they're clever. No, you don't know anything. You live with your mum, you're on the computer all day. You've got three friends, and you've never actually met any of them." - Hayes Haugen via Bookmarklet

Junger is one of the best when it comes to on-the-ground war coverage. It's a complex world. - Hayes Haugen via Bookmarklet

they are top search result for 'lol cats' and 'lolcats' - Hayes Haugen

Picnik is doing great! Try comparing to Fotoflexer.com and Photoshop.com, their two nearest competitors. - Scott Ludwig

yes, they are doing great. It's just that dashwire and picnik have extensive code heavy sites and icanhascheezburger is a wordpress blog. - Hayes Haugen

"Many people for years have been trying to isolate the turntable from vibration, precisely because it's so good at picking it up," Kitundu says. "So I turned that on its head. When I pluck the strings of the phoneharp, the vibrations are actually varied into the body of the turntable, and they're amplified by the cartridge." - Hayes Haugen via Bookmarklet
