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

Yeah right never do a show w/o Dvorak ever again ... yeah right the traffice that TWiT itself brings I don't think Leo will just skip a week to suit you - JohnBfromMemphis

I totally disagree, Steve. I like the fact that the shows go different ways with different panelists. a Dvorak show is a Dvorak show (though he'll even ramble about wine, etc.) A Calacanis show (aside from 57) is just a nice change of pace. - todd
I'm not saying I don't like the change, it's very welcome. Sometimes, it's just over the top, this was one of those weeks. Sometimes when Calacanis is on, it just seems like it's This Week in Calacanis. - Steve Gillette

I actually liked this weeks TWiT just as good as any other the discussion was very interesting all the way through... - Chris Heath

I really liked this weeks show. The discussion on tech and the Presidency was great! - Mike
I enjoyed it too. I agreed with Patrick though about Obama twittering as the President. I thought of it as more of a campaign tool than something he would keep doing forever. Now that he's won, I think he's probably done with Twitter. - John Massaglia
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
Absolutely, negative thinking got us here, positive thinking and risk taking will get us out - Daltonsbriefs
I've been tring to maintain my positive outlook and optimism, I need more people doing the same. Very tired hearing the naysayers - Bryan Thatcher

OK a (potential) positive. People forcibly getting out of jobs may let their creativity loose and great things can happen. - Sofia
quitting smoking feels like hell for a few days, but is a positive .. this is an entire culture quitting smoking, is a hugely positive thing, and an opportunity for seesmic and others to get smart ... thankfully now he has a different attitude than when he was feeling fearful a couple of months ago - Gregory Lent
My understanding is they currently don't offer any kind of comment moderation, which leaves your stream open to a fair amount of spam... - Stupid Blogger (aka Tina)
Oh noes! He broke the Internet's not a truck! it's a series of Oh noes! He broke the internet's not a truck!.... - Richard Walker

Mona, it is not because of the service (Storytlr) it's because of this user. He have 5 RSS feeds that are streaming same content from he's other services here. (good that he's not on my friends list) NOT EVERYTHING SHOULD GO THROUGH Friendfeed twice! - Orli Yakuel
Ping.fm, FF -> Twitter, misc. aggregating sites RULE but users need to exercise common courtesy to their followers. Let the most courteous people win! ;) @Orli: We posted at the same time... I wanted people to see that first before stating that point. :) I just signed up and like it (a lot) - Mona N.
i call this a case of over-aggregation. he is seriously ill, help needed. STAT STAT!! - ♣genieyclo♣
It kind of reminds me of Squidoo. Squidoo for argiated content. - Nelson de Witt

I hate survival horror games. Probably the ten minutes of Condemned I played before I happily relinquished the controller. - Jandy Stone
Wolfenstein 3D with my new Soundblaster 16-bit stereo sound. GUTENTAG!!! - ♫ Rahsheen™
Doom II. Played with a headset on late at night and jumped more times than I care to admit. Also, Bioshock has some really, really good creepy moments early in the game. - Akiva Moskovitz
I tend to relish the feeling of adrenalin when something happens in a survival horror game. Silent Hill I, the original Condemned and F.E.A.R. were all good at that. Even Day of the Tentacle had its moments, though. Nothing scared quite as much as when I thought I had lost the RAID volume layout on the 8-disk PowerEdge POD at work back in 1998 though. *shudder* - Phil Glockner
don't know if it's really scary, but NES Metroid had some eerie moments, especially to my younger self - Kamilah Gill
Seventh Guest! there was some creepy stuff in there, jumped out of my seat!! - Jeremy Toeman
Rochelle - Max Payne was great. I loved the comic-book style Noir elements, and the playable dream sequences that were truly disturbing. - Phil Glockner
any game with creepy, laughing little kids - Lindsey
Bioshock - you need a really good sound system, and turn your subwoofer all the way up. You won't just play the game - you'll feel it. - Jesse Stay
It would have to be Bioshock and Condemned. I was absolutely terrified of Condemned and could only play for about 20 minutes before quitting. - Angel Smith
Alone in the Dark - based on Lovecraft. - Bonnie Dean
Ooh, Space Hulk nearly made me cry ... when I was 17! o 0 - Timothy Griffin
Oh man, I forgot about Eternal Darkness! That one scared the tar out of me! Angel - Condemned does a fantastic job of ratcheting up the tension and keeping it at a really high level. The scene where the dressmaker's dummies suddenly surrounded me made me jump out of my skin. - Phil Glockner
I think I mentioned this elsewhere, but playing the human in Aliens vs Predator is scary, especially when your motion tracker starts going. - Kol Tregaskes
I understand what Dan means. The developer is famed for pissing people off left, right and centre. Google his name... I should stress that I've never had any problems with him, and I've bought a few of his apps. - Brad Brooks
I love the quote that the problems with the housing market have been eight times harder on McCain ha! - Joe Dawson (beta)
Good humoured banter. Nice to see the candidates with a sense of humour during the campaign. - Chris Nixon
Its great to think that after the division between candidates, parties and America in the past months, this sort of event could occur. I loved it! Both were great, and we needed a refreshing moment to sit back and realize that at the end of the day, one of the more crucial aspects to life is the ability to laugh. - JC unwired
Obama looked so uptight and our War Hero seemed relaxed---good stuff. - Jonathan Keller
McCain was the best I have *ever* seen him. Won't change my vote, of course, but the McCain in this video is a lot more like the one we used to see before the 2000 elections. - Chris Baskind
both were pretty funny....but i think obama won the standup debate :) - don loeb
McCain was hilarious. As an Obama supporter, I am glad he wasn't that good during all of his other speeches ;) - Bret Taylor
One of my favorite lines was "Many of you know that I got my name, Barack, from my father. What you may not know is that Barack is actually Swahili for 'that one'. And I got my middle name from somebody who obviously didn't think I'd ever run for president." - Bret Taylor
Agree with Bret. McCain's comedic timing was a lot better than Obama's - Deepak
I'm an Obama supporter, but I thought McCain was funnier. This video has the beginning of McCain's speech which includes the jokes about the Clintons: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v... - Chris White
This is really cool! FUNNY!!!!!!! thanks for sharing!! :) - Susan Beebe
Amen, @Chris B. If only the whole campaign were this funny and civil. - Heidi Moon
I'd like to see Sarah Palin and Joe Biden do this too. My suspicion is that Joe would be funnier though, unless Sarah secretly got Tina Fey to do it instead. - Chris White
Hehe. Roast. Conjures up funny images to people here in the UK. - Slippy Lane
They were both hilarious! Their writers need to work in comedy :) I thought Obama was the funniest, but then I am an Obama fan so may be biased. - Sheila Taylor
it is the time for those that can take advantage of the opportunities in today's markets ( i assume that mainly angels and small-mid sized VC) - Naor
I was thinking it hadn't stopped like a lot of people were saying but for it to slowdown was inevitable - JohnBfromMemphis

For pre-funding startups, creative bootstrapping is going to be key. If you're not getting laid off, follow Ron Conway's advice: Don't quit your day job. - Ryan Kuder
@Ryan - it is correct for a certain type of startups, while others can't reach something significant with minimal investments - Naor
Cee Bee, that's close...more of a "that's bad ass" reaction to that Pug...reminds me of the dog in MIB...good effort though, but I still contend the Bambi pics are still an 11 on the Cute Scale... - Live4Soccer
"The American Dream is not about having. It's not even about earning. It's about living in a place where earning is even possible. It's certainly not about promising to pay a mortgage of $4,000 a month when you earn $55,000 a year because the "american dream" entitles you to do so." - torque
Arrr, I think I be not alone in wishin' the good ship friendfeed and her loyal crew a calm sea and followin' wind on a most auspicious day 'o days, me hearties. - Slippy Lane
“Here's an idea not everyone will like: Firefox and IE should drop their rendering engines and switch to Webkit (used by Safari and Chrome). Then we wouldn't have the added annoyance of targeting three different DOMs.”
I'm sure someone will say something about "competition", but since it's open-source, they can continue to compete, just as Google has with their new JS engine, V8. Since everyone would be starting from the same point, they would all have the burden of not breaking compatibility. - Paul Buchheit
Microsoft would embrace and extend, creating WebKit Expression '09, and Firefox would only use WebKit 520 for the next 3 years, complaining that Apple and Google won't slow down their development to accommodate an 18 month development cycle. - Mark Trapp
NO -- webkit is at least poorly studied for security vulnerabilities, I don't want to live with swiss-cheese-alike crap from fruity company JUST because some few entrepreneurs want to make their life easier!!! - silpol
Extending the product is a good thing -- it's how the platform advances. As long as it's all open-source, we all win. - Paul Buchheit
It's not that everybody should like it. It's that they should all do it. - Louis Gray
Actually, that's already been discussed as part of the Gears' strategy... simply make Webkit a plugin for Firefox and IE. It's actually not *that* outlandish. - Chris Messina
Paul, the problem is WebKit is licensed under the LGPL; Microsoft could merely create a plugin to WebKit that did all of its extra features. They really wouldn't receive all that much flak about it, either. - Mark Trapp
@Chris - I recall that being mentioned at google code. I wonder what it would take to make a plugin for IE or firefox to use complete chrome processes as an 'accelerator' -
