For God sake, never have a show without John again. He keeps you guys on topic and on a flow. That and put a muzzle on Calacanis. - Steve Gillette via twhirl

This is news for me that any "applicant to the staff at the white house to list (and if possible provide copies of) all posts and comments made on all blogs and websites as well as names and nicknames ever used". First: what 20+ year old can do that nowadays? Second: Shouldn't this rule change so as to adjust to today's tools and not risk turning down technology savvy applicants? - lelapin

MY favourites are the shows WITH Calacanis - really smart guy... - cyberjack

Songbird is an open-source customizable music player that's under active development. We're working on creating a non-proprietary, cross platform, extensible tool that will help enable new ways to playback, manage, and discover music. There are lots of ways to contribute your time to the project. We'd love your help! There are several features we're proud of, but we'll be the first to admit that others need ironing out, are experimental, or are just plain missing. There's still a lot to do. - JohnBfromMemphis

The English-language Press TV said the Iranian-made missile, named as the Samen, was successfully tested on Monday by the elite Revolutionary Guards in the western border city of Marivan. They also tested artillery and rocket launchers, Press TV said on its website. Iran's armed forces have staged frequent manoeuvres in recent months, coinciding with speculation of possible US or Israeli strikes against the Islamic Republic over its disputed nuclear ambitions. - JohnBfromMemphis

[Aaron] sent us this sweet Super Nintendo Clock that he built. When he found himself with a broken SNES, a friend challenged him to out do his previous NES clock. This time, the display would be located in the cartridge, and removable. Setting the time is done on the SNES controller and seems to work pretty well as you can see in the video after the break. - JohnBfromMemphis

Joseph Cannon Cannonfire November 8, 2008 In all fairness, we can’t really call Obama’s proposed national service plan a new draft. First, he’s not talking about requiring young people to do military service. Second, we are getting decidedly mixed signals as to whether the service will be compulsory. At first, the word "required" was used freely; now we see much talk of tax credits, less talk of requirement. Nevertheless, this new program certainly feels like the next step toward a new draft. Just as Ike’s planners made sure that the national highway system could see usage as a military transport system, Obama’s civilian service corps could make mustering a draft army much, much easier. After all, this is the guy who said (vis-a-vis the establishment of ROTC programs on all college campuses): - JohnBfromMemphis

TO most people, the thought of amputating a perfectly healthy limb is unimaginable. But for at least three Australians, possibly dozens more, cutting off their leg has felt perfectly normal. These so-called "amputee wannabes" have a very rare condition in which they feel one of their limbs is not truly their own, and they become obsessed with cutting it off. And people suffering from the bizarre body image disorder should be able to opt for amputation, a Sydney psychiatrist says. Christopher Ryan, a psychiatrist at the University of Sydney, says there is a good argument for allowing patients with body integrity identity disorder (BIID) to have their unwanted limb removed. "I am not saying we should unthinkingly cut off people's legs," Dr Ryan said. "I realise that the idea strikes almost everyone as lunatic when they first hear it. However, there are a small number of people who see themselves, and have always seen themselves, as amputees," he said. - JohnBfromMemphis

The parabolic Asian cooking(dumpling) strainer is the perfect candidate for this project. I was able to pick up 20 more access points in the city and connect to a network a few blocks away! This is BY-FAR the most simple of all Wifi extensions - JohnBfromMemphis

My flash drive works pretty hard, so I've spent a lot of time gathering a reliable, powerful set of portable tools that allow me to work hard and play hard, even if I can't do it on my own PC. Here are two dozen apps that I always have at the ready. - JohnBfromMemphis

If you ever get tired of flipping back and forth between two browser windows or tabs when what you really want to do is be able to read two articles at once, (or read one article while composing a blog post or email in another window), there's a Firefox plugin called Split Browser that can help. But what if you're not using Firefox? What if you're using a browser like Google Chrome, which doesn't even support plugins? Then you can use a Javascript bookmarklet called Google Chrome Dual View. Just drag the bookmarklet to your bookmark toolbar and when you hit the button Google Chrome will ask you to input two web addresses. It will then open them up side by side in a single browser tab. - JohnBfromMemphis

Nah, there's plenty of competition for voice service; all the big boys- AT&T, Verizon, Time Warner, Comcast, they all have the triple or quad play now. Integration with windows is competitive advantage, sure, but not anti-competitive. - Mike Thompson

That Yang -- such a kidder! - Brian Sullivan

But It's Just Too Late... how did that song go? - Jorge Escobar

Yang is an idiot plain and simple I hope Yahoo does can him so they can do what they should've done from the start - JohnBfromMemphis via twhirl

CES is officially over and on the last day we went on the hunt for things we missed, and we got a chance to catch the latest TV Guide tru2way software. TV Guide is the company that makes the user interface for Comcast's -- among others -- set-top boxes. - JohnBfromMemphis

One feature of the Windows 7 user experience that wasn’t demoed or even talked about last week at PDC 2008 is called “Aero Shake” - the same feature that led Rafael on an epic journey to unravel the secrets of build 6801 superbar. What Aero Shake does is allows you to shake your application windows furiously, to quickly minimize all other windows, at the same time experiencing a seizure in your hand. It’s a pretty cool feature that I can see some practical use for it, but I think they need to work on the sensitivity so users don’t wear out their desk. - JohnBfromMemphis

It was 1988, and Mary Andersen was at the Miami airport checking in for a long flight to Norway to be with her husband when the airline representative informed her that she wouldn't be able to check her luggage without paying a 100 surcharge: When it was finally Mary’s turn, she got the message that would crush her bubbling feeling of happiness. -You’ll have to pay a 103 dollar surcharge if you want to bring both those suitcases to Norway, the man behind the counter said. Mary had no money. Her new husband had travelled ahead of her to Norway, and she had no one else to call. -I was completely desperate and tried to think which of my things I could manage without. But I had already made such a careful selection of my most prized possessions, says Mary. As tears streamed down her face, she heard a "gentle and friendly voice" behind her saying, "That's okay, I'll pay for her." Mary turned around to see a tall man whom she had never seen before. - JohnBfromMemphis

Testing the CollegeHumor embedding. Does anyone know how to make these embeds auto-play? - Paul Buchheit

Yes, we don't actually crate the flash objects until you click on the play icon, so once we do create it, we want to start playing immediately instead of requiring a second click. - Paul Buchheit
