I have another confession: I still cannot get out of the habit of using Google Reader over feedly, even though feedly has been available in Chrome for several weeks.

I just find GReader quicker due to th way I've set up folders in it.
- Kol Tregaskes
I only read parts of my feeds/folders now (as I just don't have the time to read all of it) and find GReader itself much easier to navigate around.
- Kol Tregaskes
Someone entice me to use feedly over GReader. :-)
- Kol Tregaskes
not gonna be me ;)
- Kim
Hehe, Kim. :-)
- Kol Tregaskes
Ain't gonna be me either. The folders in GR help greatly because the content of some folders can be skimmed in list view since several feeds have duplicates in them. I tried feedly but soon turned back to GR.
- Polly Potter
What I really like about feedly is that I feel a lot less "unread guilt". The item count is in an easily-ignorable light grey, and a single click marks everything read.
- invariant - farewell FF
@kol: a lot of existing Google Reader users prefer the GR UI because of the ability to scan articles, feeds and folders quickly. A few leverage the live sync and use both (scan the digest and finish the heavy reading in Google Reader). Others are looking for a slower, more fun experience and prefer the feedly magazine-like UI. People who are new to RSS are often in that third category and those are the people we are going after.

I'm leaning more towards a netbook now (over a mobile phone). I'll be able to work on a netbook far faster than I ever could on a mobile phone.
- Kol Tregaskes
I think most netbooks run Win7 pretty well. I was running it on a Dell Mini 9 with 1GB ram and an 8GB SSD and it wasn't terrible. Win7 is the first version of windows that's more efficient than it's predecessor.
- invariant - farewell FF
Yeah, it's the best OS from Windows.
- Kol Tregaskes
Go for it. I had a NC10 before upgrading to an Insprion 11z. Great build quality and overall look.

It may be true for big organizations but plenty of companies in the game industry will hire you if you have demonstrable ability (good artwork or demo).

Steven Perez isn't a Bunneh!!! As long as he doesn't respond.

So... it's kind of like a "tontine" but with a pretty weak payoff?
- Mark Jepsen
Hmmm, actually, it only needs to continue until Steven Perez is dead (of very old age, i of course hope). Our victory is guaranteed. Of course, if friendfeed gets eaten by fb, it's just going to be a race to get the last comment in before the site goes down.
- Slippy "WildBeard" Lane
It's okay, he's got a Catch-22 now. Steven Perez isn't a Bunneh, so long as he doesn't respond. And we all know he refutes his Bunneh status.

"Well, are they? It’s a topic which has been discussed a lot during the first half of 2009 and depending on who you ask and when you’ll get a series of different answers – and I’ve definitely been guilty of trying to persuade others one way or the other, which is due to more than just my argumentative nature. It’s a complex issue." EDIT: Listen from 39mins on their podcast about this: http://www.bit-tech.net/blog...

The PC gaming market has changed. It is a great place for indie game development, casual games, and for titles of certain other genres. Consoles allow for much easier development (if you can get permission to work with the dev hardware) and provide superior copy protection. PC gaming will never die as long as there's a kid out there with an idea for the best game ever, because options for making it on a console are limited if you're not a professional.
- invariant - farewell FF
I wish I could answer this but I've not played anything on the PC for 6 years or more and not been following games in general for a similar time. I did get Sims 3 but only recently. Give me 6 months and I'll give you answer. ;-)
- Kol Tregaskes
all my gaming for 5+ years has been pc-based, and there have still been many ongoing changes

Just laugh :D If pc gaming dies, how can intel,amd and nvidia and related technology companies keep the sales fit -and so increased ?- Meanwhile nearly all of entertainment dev. companies are funded by nVidia and intel rather than sales shares.

You can't do 7.1 surround sound with traditional headphones...no matter how hard you try.
Kol Tregaskes, Jemm, Iain Baker and 5 other people liked this
Ok.
- Derrick
So when you see people selling 7.1 surround sound headphones, don't waste your money. It's very difficult to even do 5.1 properly with headphones.
- Alex Scoble
I pretty much agree.
- Geoff Schultz
Anything above 5.1 in headphones seems rather pointless anyway.
- Rob Haas
Do those 5.1/7.1 headphones at least sound good? It's better than waking up the neighbors
- Rodfather
What if you're like me and have 7.1 ears?
- invariant - farewell FF
Is it even possible to do 7.1 with non-traditional headphones?
- Jason Huebel
What counts as traditional headphones? It's a little vague given that at some point in the future most things we view as technological impossibilities are perhaps a possibility.
- Matt Plummer
Yeah, I meant headphones that have two cups (cans) that cover your ears.
- Alex Scoble
I mean, 7.1 requires 7 high/midrange and one bass, correct? All headphones are by definition stereo-only. They may /simulate/ surround sound, but they really can't be.
- Jason Huebel
I have the Ear Force dolby 5.1 headphones - total junk. No spatiality (is that a word?) at all.
- invariant - farewell FF
Yeah, I think that's right, Invariant. And Jason, not all headphones are stereo. The newer 5.1 headphones from the likes of Tritton have 3 drivers for each year to approximate front side and rear speakers, but it doesn't work all that well.
- Alex Scoble
The reason it doesn't work ... is that the effect of surround sound isn't based JUST on having sounds come from all around your ears. Real (surround) sound changes when you move your head. Wake me up when your headphones don't just have multiple speakers in each ear, but actually pay attention to where my head is facing. Incidentally, how hard can this be? Using some IR lights on the sides of the cans they should be able to track my head position _enough_ for that, right?
- Joel Bennett
There's already tech which tracks head movement in games - TrackIR, so yeah. Having software use that information to drive audio is totally possible, and a great idea you need to go copyright.
- Matt Plummer
We've created true acoustical 5.1 surround sound headphones and they're anything from traditional, although they may not be 7.1 it would be possible to expand our unique design to create 7.1 headphones. You can check them out for yourself at www.psykoaudio.com
- Psyko Audio
No 7.1 surround on traditional headphones? You can if they're made with the magic of Monster Cable wiring. He-llo!
- Micah Wittman
it actually is possible for a stereo headset to convey spatial orientation, based on the brain's ability to recognize slight delays between the hearing in each ear
- Mike Chelen
Mike, the sound effect at Disney's The Hall of Presidents attraction achieved with headphones was quite something when I experienced it 2 years ago. I'm not sure what acoustic technology their using though (and can't find any info online either).
- Micah Wittman
Mike, For the Psyko 5.1's we've placed the speakers above the bridge of the headphone, and so there a delay is that is introduced to increase spacial awareness of sounds, also our headphones provide a natural volume attenuation, and natural frequency reflections, the 3 key components to detecting sound directionality. http://www.psykoaudio.com/index...

Micah, disney definitely uses some cool technical methods, and combined with their dramatic skills the effects can be pretty compelling. recall some effects in their haunted house that were kind of creepy, and also had me wondering, how was it done?
- Mike Chelen
Psyko: usually seen those theories divided into two principles, ITD http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki... and HRTF http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki... - hadn't realized they were both used in modern electronics though, very interesting =)

Has anyone, other than us 100k first timers, got their Google Wave invites? #googlewave #wave
Mike Nencetti, Jim Hearts FF, Greg Guitarbuster and 4 other people liked this
Has anyone been able to confirm is they don't get invites themselves?
- Kol Tregaskes
Leo confirmed today that someone he nominated got accepted. They are doing it by hand so, yeah...
- Johnny Worthington
I don't believe I was in the 100K list. Tad and I were nominated on the day they went out and got in the day after the first round of invites. But we were nominated by someone at Google, so that may have made a difference. That being the case we both also were able to give out 8 nominations.
- Lindsay
Did Leo say if that person had invites to give out?
- Kol Tregaskes
I'm not sure
- Johnny Worthington
I was invited about 3 days ago and I'm still waiting :(
- Jay
OK, thanks Johnny.
- Kol Tregaskes
How did Leo confirm it btw? I wouldn't know how to tell? I only believe I was the first 100k as it's been said that only the first 100k get invites to give away.
- Kol Tregaskes
@Kol - Did my comment not help? Tad and I were nominated but we also had nominations to give out.
- Lindsay
Negative.
- David Damore
no. Will patiently wait for one. No hurry
- lelapin
I was nominated by two people. I got my invite on Oct, 2. It was less than 24 hours.
- Mike Fruchter
Lindsay, Mike so you didn't register in any other way? You got access purely on the invite?
- Kol Tregaskes
I submitted for an invite a LOOONNNG time ago as soon as I found out about Wave. But I know that I got in via nomination because the Google employee is a friend of a friend that I didn't previously have in my contacts list and he showed up when I first got into Wave. No other way we would have connected. Update - just confirmed... my invite email says that he nominated me... so yeah, I wasn't in the first 100K.
- Lindsay
OK.
- Kol Tregaskes
Guys, if Lindsay was already in the first 100k queue and someone nominated her, wouldn't she be bumped up? That's how it works, I think.
- Ahsan Ali aka. Slick
But would my invite email say I was invited by someone if I was in the first 100K?
- Lindsay
Just saw your edit Lindsay so it actually says in the e-mail that you were nominated. OK, I don't have that.
- Kol Tregaskes
My invite email says: "Thank you for signing up to give us early feedback on Google Wave. We're happy to give you access to Google Wave and are enlisting your help to improve the product."
- Kol Tregaskes
I was nominated 3 days ago and I'm still waiting.
- Mike Doeff
Mine says "[name withheld] has invited you to preview Google Wave!" Of course, with the name of the person who graciously nominated me.
- Lindsay
So the 4th paragraph here is incorrect: http://thenextweb.com/2009...
- Kol Tregaskes
OK, cool. Thanks, Lindsay. :-)
- Kol Tregaskes
Again, maybe something is "special" because it was a nomination from a Google employee? I don't know for sure.
- Lindsay
OK.
- Kol Tregaskes
I don't think any of the people I have nominated have gotten in yet, either!
- Lindsay
Maybe they had holding out, maybe they've got enough people, maybe their servers can only take so many users.
- Kol Tregaskes
The other day, Lars Rasmussen said that they would "trickle" invitations over the weekend and to be patient. http://twitter.com/larsras...

Does anyone really care? This is a lot like Gmail was to me. I'll wait for my invite. I don't *need* Wave right now at all
- LANjackal
Just asking. :-)
- Kol Tregaskes
I applied for an invite when Google fist announced Wave but guess as just an ordinary Internet user was not high enough up the pecking order to get one. Will have to wait until it is opened to the general population. Pity as i wanted to asses it for elearning.
- Daryl Hunt on FF
Same here but I was luckily in the first 100k. :-)
- Kol Tregaskes
I'm still waiting for my invite. Tad kindly nominated me.
- Roberto Bonini
I have been sent one, but not yet received it.
- Travis Koger

Same with Travis
- Sofia @ SoMaFusion
I think there where just 10-20k users invited yet - I guess, the 100k invites will only be reached in 6-8 weeks! They are doing it manually! *doh* This is so stupid!
- Dieter Schwarz
I was nominated 3-4 days ago, haven't got my invite yet :/
- Patrik Johansson
My nomination was from someone who themselves had been nominated. They received eight invites to send out and I believe none if the eight that they sent out (mine included) have been received yet. My nomination/invite was sent last Thursday.
- Travis Koger
from iPhone
I submitted for an invite a long time ago, but didn't receive access. I was nominated by someone days ago, yet haven't received an invitation.
- Irma Vermaat
Irma I'm in the same situation. I'm still hopeful. . .

“Patience is a virtue, Possess it if you can, Seldom found in woman, Never found in man.” I don't have an invite yet either. Trying this patience thing. Not sure it's working for me. ;)

I was nominated on the 100k day -- still waiting, like a kid waiting for Christmas.
- Rob Fisher
I was in the 100k and invited two people the next day. As of yesterday neither had gotten their invite. I'm thinking they'll start flowing after the weekend if they're really being done by hand.

How can I get on one o' dem monitors someday... do I gotta be famous enough than i already r?
- Danny Minick
From what I have read (no invite yet) if I can run this on my own server for my 5 team members at work, THIS is the solution I have been looking for.
- Johnny Worthington
Also, Scoble missed the point. It's not social media or a broadcast medium. 100,000 would never be manageble team in any situation. Wave has power in small numbers. This beta is a free-for-all.
- Johnny Worthington
LOL @ Robert Scoble.
- Danny Minick
The API is where Wave is going to see some action, I think.
- Jeff Harbert
Johnny: "This beta is a free-for-all." Not so much at this moment :)

Heheh.
- Robert Scoble
How do you get to the real time 'chat room' style view for the TWIG friend feed? No wonder this site hasn't taken off, the learning curve is unbelievable
- Matt
Oh snap.
- Danny Minick
Leo, you gotta read my latest post where I take on the email metaphor of Google Wave and why Google Wave isn't productive.
- Robert Scoble
Wave is like an online whiteboard for web conferences.
- Jeff Harbert
Jeff: if you could lock it down to just people at the conference that might be useful.
- Robert Scoble
This, right here, what we are doing, is like Google Wave. LOL
- Danny Minick
Danny: exactly!
- Robert Scoble
Agreed, Robert.
- Jeff Harbert
But in my 5 member team at work, this will replace email for is

Only, Danny, this is better thought out and more mature (and faster, etc).

Just had a problem with Wave: I opened a window to ping Leo asking to join the TWig Wave, but I decided not to bother him. Unfortunately, as I saw on the live video, it already had -- he saw a flashing ping window before I even started typing! (I decided to type out a message at that point, seeing as it had already appeared on his screen.)
- Eric Geller
Can you run your own Wave server? wave.google.com isn't the only place this will exist

By the way, how do I join the Twig wave?

And therefore can control the people in your instance?

Johnny: the federation source is out there but it might not be complete.

I'm pretty sure I'm scobleizer@googlewave.com
- Robert Scoble
If I can run my own instance, and control l those who go into it. NO SPAM.

I think you guys are missing the point. Wave is not a replacement for email it's a new solution to an old problem - how do I communicate efficiently with people around the world?

- ralphsaunders
Seems to me like we're thinking of Wave in terms of every other open social media app out there. Like here in FriendFeed, or Twitter, or even email.

Doesn't wave cover the email paradigm well? Especially if you consider the federation/protocol part?
- Jan Cifra
Big 3: Google, Microsoft, Apple, not maybe in that order. So deserves its TWIT show

- Danny Minick
Now I really understand why FriendFeed didn't add multi-level threading.
- Robert Scoble
Mark, thats what the Gilmour Gang was
- ralphsaunders
Danny, as Mark pointed out and Leo has stated... Apple and MS are both essentially platforms or ecosystems, as is Google... so it makes sense and just as in his other shows, the content isn't alwayslimited to google
- Gabe
Unlike Twitter you have to have other people who are already engaged to use Wave, so it will start as a business / org app
- Matt
the smartest people in the world are on the TWiT network ;)
- Mark
Hisham... but if it's free?
- Johnny Worthington
Interesting insights related to #2010web and where Wave plays in Enterprise 2.0 in this post http://bit.ly/1amVOO
- Alberto Saavedra
A good use for Wave would be for the TWiT shows. You can pause the live stream and it will buffer from where you left off but the Friendfeed room moves on so you are behind the chat and have no idea what is being talked about. Could make a wave client for TWiT shows so you can "playback" what you missed in synch with the video stream.
- Mark
Btw can you sort Waves based on contacts? The "Inbox" UI seems very confusing if you consider you could have hundreds of contacts - it could get messy.
- Jan Cifra
Hisham: If you have ever seen a successful wiki implementation, at work for example, the knowledge capture is amazing. I can see Wave taking this to the next level - especially the real time component.
- Marshall Huwe
lol "Wave'd"
- Danny Minick
My boss
- Johnny Worthington
Jan: Not sure about sorting but you can search with "from:username" like in Gmail I believe
- James Williams
Remember how they used the word 'wave' in Firefly? I wonder if that's where the Wave team got the name.
- Jeff Harbert
Gina, that would rock, seriously.
- Jeff Harbert
Gina, that sounds like a Wave implementation of A Tiny Thread:
- Gabe
Jeff: my guess is yes because the error messages in the sandbox are something kaylee says. Something about "shiny Cap'n"

- Jeff Harbert
That'll be good, when the rest of us can get gvoice accounts too :)
- Simon Wicks
IT'S FREE
- Johnny Worthington
I wonder how long it will take for the voice transcription in Google Voice to make it into wave
- Gabe
It's the Ribbit Conference Gadget.
- James Williams
I have Google Voice. So I hope I get Google Wave too as well.
- Danny Minick
This sounds like all colleges would replace its whiteboards with this, what will it cost, if any??
- Rick
Now THAT gave us a taste of what will be cool about Google Wave. But they never should have pitched it as a "new email."
- Robert Scoble
At university we have used wave to take notes at lectures, and by using it we can share thoughts of it and sound files from the lecture feks
- Devlin
It would be more interesting if voice dialog transcribed into conference - who said what
- notagolfer
Gabe, probably the same time it takes the transcription currently.
- Jeff Harbert
Wave *MIGHT* be an excellent tool for education. Unfortunately, I don't have access to it. Hope that Google will give all their Google Apps for Edu accounts access to it right away.
- Rom Feria
Anyone need an invite? I'll give out 3 of mine. Warning, it seems to take a while (days) for them to go out.

farewell FF, I'd love an invite!

Kevin is the smartest guy on the GG and now on TWiG

Jeff, I meant before google integrates it into wave... unless it already is?
- Gabe
"Remember how they used the word 'wave' in Firefly? I wonder if that's where the Wave team got the name." That would be pretty funny, Jeff Harbert.
- Matt Cutts
Gabe, dunno if it's currently integrated or not.
- Jeff Harbert
@Hisham: do you have patients? do you do research? do you have staff? do you have peers? Don't know your situation obviously, but I can see lots of opportunity for knowledge capture, realtime collaboration, etc.
- Marshall Huwe
Ok, Simon Wicks, notagolfer, Rick and +1 for Jeff Harbert: I'll follow you, DM me an email address to use.
- invariant - farewell FF
thank you!
- notagolfer
farewell FF - sweet, thanks!
- Jeff Harbert
Ribbit gadget it's really useful, imagine if TWiG can be segmented in episodes and each segment is a threaded wave, it will be easier for people that were not able to follow it in realtime, catch-up with the content/comments generated
- Alberto Saavedra
hi @mattcutts, you should invite @jewelstaithe to Wave...
- Kevin Marks
Thats an interesting Q's, how will Google integrate this into all its other Apps
- Rick
is scoble the only one not excited about Wave ?
- Mark
Here is why it will replace email. I send back and forth 6 emails about a subject to a person on my team. hen we have to bring someone else in on the conversation. They then have 12 emails to read before they catch up.
- Johnny Worthington
Mark: Re: Kevin Marks...And he's a really cool, laid back, and approachable in person.
- James Williams
Mark: no, I've gotten hundreds of replies from people who don't get it either.
- Robert Scoble
why is "Leo Laporte Makes $1" a trending topic on twitter???????????????
- Mark
Thanks very much farewell FF :)
- Simon Wicks
@ribbit could add transcription of the calls into the wave, but there is a lag to do it
- Kevin Marks
Mark: see Mashable. Leo gave a talk at the Online News Association earlier today where he announced that his revenues are more than a million a year.
- Robert Scoble
re: ribbit gadget transcription: And it doesn't like some British accents ;)
- James Williams
Holy crap he is rich!
- Mark
James: agreed. Kevin is a great guy.
- Robert Scoble
He's rich!?
- Danny Minick
Mark: out of that he pays seven people. But the Mashable article showed his costs are $350,000 a year.
- Robert Scoble
And the hosts
- Johnny Worthington
Holy crap he is moderatley well off! :D
- Mark
@Kevin Marks: that's pretty cool, and will make it more useful for business - keep people from saying stupid stuff :)
- notagolfer
I think Wave's usefulness is directly related to how many people you know that you need to collaborate with and how net saavy they are
- Matt
I wonder how/if Wave is going to impact SXSWi next year.
- Jeff Harbert
Here's the link to Leo's ONA speech: http://paidcontent.org/article...
- Holger Eilhard
Wow over $1million profit in a year after paying his staff!
- Mark
Jeff: Not much I think. It'll be just another place to check. But that could change if Android/iPhone gets a native client with a slick interface.
- James Williams
Not profit, Mark. Leo's statement was $350 K in costs and $1.5 mil in revenue.
- Debi Jones
Will wave.google.com be the only instance?
- Johnny Worthington
Invites seem to be very slow at present
- Quentin Stafford-Fraser
What will this cost for colleges to use for their white board system?
- Rick
LEO!!!!!!! NOT FAIR.
- Danny Minick
Not everyone will use wave.google.com in the future
- Johnny Worthington
I am happy Leo is making loads of money because he spends tens of thousands a year on new equipment for the studio :D
- Mark
I dont think they are immediate. If im not mistaken the invites are manual
- Kashif Khan
Not sure if $350 is total costs. That was for the network.
- Debi Jones
Johnny: I'm fairly certain that you can host your own wave
- tytycoon
Danny: Life is not fair. :)
- Kevin Nunez
Yup - a friend sent me one a couple of days ago and it hasn't arrived yet
- Quentin Stafford-Fraser
Yer not fair, Nunez. :P
- Danny Minick
I know.
- Kevin Nunez
when is Google Wave coming invites Gmail users ?
- Michael Holzinger
the more money Leo makes the more likely we will have a new studio for TWiT Live soon with 480p stream and downloadable videos and more camera angles and new shows
- Mark
Quentin: same here. 3 nominations incoming, no sign from Google...
- Holger Eilhard
Yeah, I'd say.
- Danny Minick
Kevin Marks: hi there! I'd happy invite @jewelstaite but I'm out of invites, and I'm guessing she's busy with lots of other things. :)
- Matt Cutts
Innovation needs promotion. Ashton and Oprah aren't here yet
- Johnny Worthington
Follow @larsras and @twephanie on twitter for updates regarding invites and stuff for Wave
- Kashif Khan
we care about wave but Tech Guy audience radio doesn't
- Mark
Do you watch TWiT or listen to TWiT?
- Debi Jones
listen
- Kevin Nunez
That wasn't Matt, that was me!
- Jeff Harbert
I watch live every day and use ODTV if I miss shows
- Mark
And then you can control your users to avoid the flood
- Johnny Worthington
@Mark, what's the ODTV url?
- notagolfer
notagolfer: odtv.me
- Holger Eilhard
thank you!
- notagolfer
Johnny: Let's figure out the user exp first before they make it mainstream. Wave doesn't fit their model where they choose to broadcast but not engage.
- James Williams
James: Additionally it creates a hype... It's all like Gmail again :)
- Holger Eilhard
Usually if I miss a show, I keep watching live.twit.tv, I like serendipity of it :)
- notagolfer
How about live streaming in a Wave? That could revolutionize TWiT.
- Jeff Harbert
but I bet within a year or two TWiT live has 480p streaming and downloads
- Mark
But if I run my own server... Can't I control who joins?
- Johnny Worthington
mark - sooner than that
- Leo Laporte
Jeff: I would think so, I've seen group viewing in a wave (start/stop/ff/rewind of videos was synchronized and allowed video comments)
- James Williams
RSSCloud too don't forget
- Mark
What's the current resolution of TWIT?
- tytycoon
@Leo: will it those videos be available on Roku only, or I can watch them on XBox as well?
- notagolfer
Leo will there be one day an official goggle wave server for the TWiT community?
- Mark
xbox, yahoo tvs, iphone, etc etc.
- Leo Laporte
Smilar to how we have our own twitter at Army.twit.tv

Leo, awesome, and thank you for doing that
- notagolfer
soon as we can Mark
- Leo Laporte
Thanks, Holger
- tytycoon
Leo: are your streams working on Ustream's iPhone app? Someone was asking about that.
- Robert Scoble
So I can have my own hosted BSS style Wave Server. Controlled, on topic and sharing
- Johnny Worthington
yes robert - we're one of the recommended iphone ustream feeds
- Leo Laporte
Robert, yes
- Johnny Worthington
Robert: They are I've watched it on Ustream's Iphone client
- tytycoon
Yup they work, but they buffer a lot. At least on my iphone
- Roberto Bonini
works surprisingly well - even on 3g
- Leo Laporte
Oh cool. Guess I can reinstall the ustream app then...
- Holger Eilhard
it buffers only one or two times an hour for me on my home wifi-n
- Mark
I can't imagine using it on 3g; I've been using Wifi

Finally getting a chance to listen to this... Just to clarify, Wave is not really extension to XMPP per se. The federation protocol between Wave servers is XMPP based, but the client-server communication (in this case the communication between your browser and the Wave server) isn't using XMPP. I believe that at the moment it's a proprietary format for exchanging JSON. There's some discussion both on Wave and in Google Groups about standardization, but it's distinct from server-server federation right now.

Sexy Coal Miners: Dumbest Ad Ever By An Energy Company? » INFRASTRUCTURIST - http://www.infrastructurist.com/2009...
"Sometimes you look at something that a large organization full of smart people does and are left only to stammer… “Really? Nobody in the whole damn place had the good sense to kibosh this?” Such is the case with this new ad for GE clean coal featuring babelicious coal miners walking around underground pretending to pickax out some bituminous. These “model” miners are meant to represent, ahem, the fact that coal is going to save us from global warming. The spot is so incredibly stupid at so many levels that we feel inadequate to the task of unpacking that stupidity. But, like an aspiring actress pretending to mine coal, we will at least attempt to chip away at it."
- Steven Perez

I think someone at GE's ad agency is having an uproarious laugh at what they managed to get greenlit by clueless execs. There is no way that all of the delicious irony in that commercial was unintentional. "Sixteen Tons" as the backing track? Inspired.

That being said, I think it would be extremely fun to get into surround sound live recording... when I'm rich and famous.

- LogEx
Oh, I think it could be cool for music too.

Please see my previous statement...There's a reason why just about every speaker on the market is a 2 way or three way. I have yet to see a high end single driver system. You just can't do it without sounding like utter crap. And if it sounds like crap, it's impossible to do.

See, I think technology is really cool, lots of fun, and we benefit greatly from its advances. I refuse to be told what I like, however. I think a lot of this acronym soup is a complex sales pitch for things we don't need. See above comments about "diminishing returns".

- Rodfather
I'm at 3.1 right now, mostly due to the wide open space of my previous living room that made rear channel speakers impractical. I'll be upgrading to 5.1 soon. Beyond that I'm not sure I see the point of having even more channels. Unless you have a full size, pro-built theater room anything more than 6.1 (and maybe even 5.1) really won't make a difference to your ears in terms of directionality

- Alex Scoble
from IM
Honest question: Outside of people with dedicated home theater rooms, are the sound field enhancements that come with 9.2 even noticeable in the "average" living room? And how much has 7.1 even been adopted?
- Kevin Pedraja
Good question, Kevin. Since movies are not recorded with a vertical channel, at least not to my knowledge, in practice there should be no benefit with the added speakers. And since home theater sales, outside of home theater in a box sales, have dropped significantly in recent years, I doubt that 7.1 adoption has been very robust. Anecdotally, I know of no one who has a 7.1 system.

The Escapist : News : Nissan Adding Blade Runner Sound to Electric Cars - http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news...
Tabata's result was a sound similar to that made by the flying cars, or Spinners, from Blade Runner, Ridley Scott's futuristic 1982 release set in 2019. I would have prefered the noise made by George Jetson's car, but I suppose I'll still be able to go on with my life anyway. Regulations and recommendations for the minimum noise level of an electric car are currently in the works in both Japan and the U.S.

Let me tweak my settings - brb.
- Mona Nomura
Invariant - you're right. It's because I enable everyone to see my profile.
- Mona Nomura

Ok, not sure I'm ready for "full frontal profile", but thanks for figuring out what was going on Mona!
- invariant - farewell FF
My pleasure - hopefully those settings will be applicable to all, regardless of what level of privacy is set :)

I've added a couple of folks from Friendfeed to mine, but was grouping them into a friendfeed group, and not having them show in the main feed. I forgot to uncheck that box for a couple now they're in my main news feed. Do you know how to shift them? You can select the group and hit edit to add and remove people, but you cant do that with the main news feed..
- Simon Wicks
It's their, it's limited, and it sucks for what I want it to do (it doesn't)
- Michael W. May
Simon - don't know how to batch uncheck, just hide when you see them float through? Don't really hide, since I have my groupings down :) MWM, sorry to hear that :( Apostol - that's the way to do it!
- Mona Nomura
If I hide them they get hidden from the friendfeed group i set up as well. Such a stupid system!
- Simon Wicks
Simon, have you tried hiding, then unhiding in the groups? Though I agree - what a unintuitive system - can't find that checkbox either.
- Mona Nomura

I wonder if the complexity is so they can catch the rookies and sell their private info. Well you didnt check the block on sub page 329 which said we cant use your personal credit card to buy shots. :D

- Zach Landes
It's only 3am - first order of biz is a 9am conference call, don't have to wake up for another six-ish hours!
- Mona Nomura
How can i hide a whole group? Another stupid thing is not being able to just delete the goups you make. I have loads that i dont want anymore, with no one in them, and no way to shift them.
- Simon Wicks
Six hours?!?!?!!?! My bad. That's loads of time. I like your style! Clearly you aren't a run-of-the-mill web vixen, you're the real deal. Mountain Dew and potato chips.
- Zach Landes
Simon, you can't hide a whole group but to delete: Friends -> And you'll see three buttons to Create, Edit, or Delete (lists). To shift, you can push them into more than one list at a time so push them into the list and delete the list you don't want (so time consuming). Zach - Diet Pepsi and potato chips! ;)
- Mona Nomura
Ah, ok. Have deleted my unwanted groups now, but still cant see a way to get them out of the main feed, and only into the friendfeed group with the others. It says they're part of 2 lists, but clicking the dropdown only says friendfeed :)
- Simon Wicks
Don't know what to say. Maaan Facebook should hire me as a community manager until they simplify their UX. I have childhood friends messaging asking me to help them with the settings LOL
- Mona Nomura
Haha, thanks for trying though. I thought i'd got it cracked, but no. Its still either hide them completely, or have them in the main news feed as well as the friendfeed group.
- Simon Wicks
OR you can completely navigate via main feed - the problem is, mobile. Facebook mobile (for the iPhone) SUCKS. m.facebook.com through Safari is better. It enables 'like'ing and even enables commenting for the Selective Twitter posts (which iphone.facebook.com and the Facebook app are not capable of doing)

Yup. Still waiting for that new version of the app they showed us what seems like a year ago now.

Techno-fetishism.

No two people ever agree on design. Facebook is good? Microsoft? Somehow they got share (and then some). If Wave delivers the goods soon enough compared to other options, they have a fighting chance.
- LogEx
After playing with it, I agree its full of clutter. It's cool for a group of people and various conversations amongst friends but not a solution for public streams and a massive social network.
- Brandon Titus
Wave is meant for group of people and conversations among friends (Wave = email if it were developed now is what they kept saying when they introduced it).
- Chieze Okoye
Google understands social as well as anybody else, it's just that geek engineers ideas of social behavior are well, a little different
- Chad Albert
Patching up pieces and forcing them to talk to each other is not social. That's like...XP.
- Mona Nomura
wait, did you just analogize Google Wave to WINDOWS XP (Microsoft's most successful OS to date) in an attempt to show how big a fail Google Wave is? Come on, Mona. You can do better than that.
- Chieze Okoye
And what are we using as a yardstick in this conversation? A pre-alpha product that most people here haven't even used? We could talk about actual launched products and say, that, for instance, Orkut is a fairly successful SNS in certain markets that proves that Google *does* understand social.
- Chieze Okoye
I didn't want to say ME because that's kinda rude - Vista wouldn't make sense because they didn't build it from scratch. Actually, the analogy was for pulling all these services together and trying to make them talk to each other.
- Mona Nomura
Who said Google was a social company? They're an advertising company through and through ;)
- Andru Edwards
That's not fair. Wave hasn't even shipped - and it's an incremental tool.
- l0ckergn0me
Who said anything about needing to be fair? Look at all the components and how they are trying to be 'social' - aside from the Google evangelists (...I love the employees Adam, Roshan, Chieze, Erica, et al.) how are they being social? Oh, Orkut? What's that?
- Mona Nomura
ME would have been a much stronger analogy as I would say XP is actually an example of a fairly well done integration of many disparate technologies (at least from the user's point of view).
- Chieze Okoye
also, I am definitely not a Google employee. And I do like their products, but honestly, I think most of your comments re: Google and social (at least the ones based on Wave) are premature at best and misguided at worst (mainly since there's no product around for you test and come to the conclusions based on). Well, unless you're hiding a dev account in there somewhere that you didn't tell us about. 8^P
- Chieze Okoye
Um, ok http://images.google.com/images... See? Twitter clients on crack with a little bit of Flock. I don't know why people are excited about it (from a user perspective)
- Mona Nomura
*shrug* I don't know, Mona. As someone who is constantly on 40-50+ message long event and project planning email threads, I would kill for even a tiny bit of the promise of what Google has with Wave. I guess I saw how it can take what I do in Gmail and allow me to do it 100x better with collaboration, whereas you seem to be looking at it from a completely different angle.
- Chieze Okoye
btw, just to check 2 things: were you being snarky re: Orkut or do you not know what it is? and have you seen the Google Wave announcement video?
- Chieze Okoye
They are an advertising company, and they do things in that part of the company's best interest.
- Andru Edwards
Mona, I felt the same way when I first peeked at the interface. But having used it extensively at work, I've either gotten used to the UI or it's a lot less daunting when you're actually using it or both :). The real-time in *conversation* is far more useful (if a bit freaky) than I ever would have imagined. It's much closer to the way people actually *talk* when they're in a room...

- Adam Lasnik
Son of a bitch - this is a busy topic... should have replied here. Twitter > FF in my brain. #Fail
- Enrique Gutierrez
As an underlying protocol, I think Wave is *incredibly* powerful. The first few iterations of the UI (including ours) will be (justifiably) rough around the edges until the user/developer community gets comfortable enough with the technology that they know what to do with it.
- Aaron D'Souza
Are waves public or private? Will they be indexed by search engines and viewable by anyone?
- SuezanneC Baskerville
Adam - thank you for that explanation. Can't wait 'til it's public beta (which answers your question too, Suezanne?)
- Mona Nomura
With the federated architecture, I can imagine different entities building sites with a social networking layer and familiar UI on top of Wave, with open interfaces between each other. Sort of pick your favorite skin. I can see the line between social networks and collaborative tools blurring.

Mona, Basecamp is not the best of tools nowadays, but it is definitely considered a place for teams to collaborate (or at minimum... communicate). Not sure how you have been using it, but I have used it for projects with clients for a couple years now.
- Adam Helweh
For conventional project management - products, specifically, it may suffice (I prefer Visio) but for projects with mass collaborators and multiple contacts involved, it's awful. I like HighRise but completely baffled as to why HighRise and Basecamp don't talk to each other. Bizarre.

I need some advice... I have www.johnnyworthington.com currently redirecting to friendfeed.com/jworthington (how's THAT for fanboy). Do I now get back into making my own aggregation blog or do I pipe it all the Facebook? Is the notion of visiting individual websites now dead and it's all about mass aggregation?

I hear ya, JW! Friendfeed wrote the book on mass aggregation and then added to it by becoming the best social network on the web. There's nothing like it and I doubt there will ever be now that fb is effectively killing innovation in the category. I'm thinking some combination of posterous- and tumblr-like sites myself. With maybe some... shudder... twitter thrown in.
