How many people agree with Mr. Ward?
- Brad
Well This article makes tons of sense. Kind of ironic how the tech world is. Google wants to be MSFT. MSFT wants to be Google. Yet they both fail at it because through all this they create internal competition and forget who & what they really are...
- Randy Shapiro
Some people just have to have a bogeyman to point at because reality is complex and unpredictable.
- Garmon Estes
I don't necessarily agree but I get what he's saying. I don't think it's a bad thing that Google does its thing well enough to be the giant that it already is right now.

Sales of bottled water have fallen for the first time in at least five years, assailed by wrathful environmentalists and budget-conscious consumers, who have discovered that tap water is practically free. - http://www.reddit.com/r...

... and that bottled water isn't always the "purest" water you can buy. What a rip-off. It's good as an emergency supply of drinkable water, but virtually useless beyond that.
- Matt Mastracci
Matt, tap water has to meet higher standards than bottled water. Tap water and a good filter is all you need.
- David Eckard
It turns out some of the bottled water companies were getting their water from a tap.
- Garmon Estes
David, absolutely. Calgary has great water, but we've got a half-decent filter on top of that. The stuff that comes out is absolutely awesome (and BPA free, to boot).

it's really hard to find new, good podcasts. Just went through 2 pages of search results here at FriendFeed and didn't find anything I wanted to listen to more than Stack Overflow and twit. Those i already knew about. :( What's your iTunes podcast window look like? hint hint, suggestions?

I listen to the Gillmor Gang (I'll be on tomorrow at 1 p.m. from China, by the way) and TWiT. Otherwise I "snack" on other audio shows here and there.
- Robert Scoble
NY Times Front Page, Wall Street Journal Tech News Briefing (both are good first thing in the morning), NewsGang Live / Gillmor Gang. Leo Laporte has a few good ones like TWiT, MacBreak Weekly, Windows Weekly, Security Now.
- Rolf Schewe
I feel bad for not listening to TWiT very much while everyone else does. It is in my podcatcher but I almost always listen to it part way and then move on. The podcast is a lot of fun, but it just feels like BOL got the same things already and talked about them days earlier. I have a lot of podcasts (I do love NPR and I've found a number of great book world and fiction podcasts) and I'd rather listen to something new.
- Aram Zucker-Scharff
from twhirl
Aram: I understand that. I don't get to all of them either. usually I just listen to the ones that get talked about on Twitter or FriendFeed. Speaking of which, http://www.fastcompany.tv is my video podcast.

These are all great suggestions -- I just scarfed up a mess of them and added them to iTunes. Thanks!

"WFMU's Best Show On WFMU" is HILARIOUS! I also like Studio 360 and many of the ones mentioned above.

In the same vein as WFMU are the podcasts from RESONANCE FM, "the art of listening"
- Brad Kligerman
Oh my - where's NPR's "Wait Wait, Don't Tell Me", and NPR's Car Talk, and Leo's "Security Now!" podcast? And if you're not only twisted, but actually sprained, check out Merlin Mann's podcast "You Look Nice Today".
- mamapadawan
If you are into Social media, PR and communication, then check out For Immediate Release (FIR). Shel Holtz and Neville Hobson host this bi-weekly podcast and it is without a doubt the best communications podcast out there.

- Dave Friedel
Wow. If that's true, they should go straight to the high end of the load bell curve in terms of resources before doing any more promotion. Just from finally understanding what the site will do, I can see this will be huge. And I'm not saying that as a fan, but rather having done load balancing / cost justifications.
- Dave Friedel
This site is going to be bigger than engadget and gizmodo combined
- Mark
I love the concept and the fact it's targeted to a specific market. There are sites where people can have their own say on products but they're too broad and weak on functionality. Then there are sites highly targeted toward tech, but not up to date. It was frustrating to look for a gadget and find out the review was 2 years old, and so on. I'm psyched about GDGT now.

China has pushed back their mandated timeline for filtering software that was to be preinstalled on new computers entering the country for sale. The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) said on Tuesday that the reasoning for the backtracking, what they call a delay, was because PC manufacturers needed more time. The MIIT did not issue a new deadline or mention one in their press release.
