Hope your are feeling better Leo... - John Spencer

Leo: we're ordering a Tricaster for the new Mahalo studios in Santa Monica. which one should we get? - Jason Calacanis

That depends on whether your cameras are sending SDI or Analog video. For the cameras we're using, which send S-Video, the Studio is fine. If you want to support HD or other SDI cameras you'll have to go with the Broadcaster - Leo Laporte

Leo, we’re setting up two studios for clients and one for us here; what cameras are you using? We are looking at the studio but were told that we would have better quality of pictures streaming using HDMI. - Kevin Tunis

sorry about that Leo; hope you feel better. and thanks for finally convincing me to try FriendFeed - joecab

heat a healthy amount of red wine, add honey and cinnamon. Drink when it's hot but not enough to burn you. If it doesn't make you feel better, at least you won't care a damn bit ;o) - cecilia via twhirl

Hope you are doing better soon. Take care. - Robert

Yeah Derek. You don't think it's up and coming? - Veronica

tried pownce; very nice interface. But it turned out I wasn't using it compared to Twitter, Friendfeed, Facebook. - Daniel Robitaille

@Veronica, your entry is a nice list of up-and-coming web apps. Yet I was a bit confused when you listed pownce... I was under the impression that it does not inspire web 2.* like the others in you're run-down. - Czar Derek Peterman

Oh, cmon, she's a little stringy, but she doesn't look like a horse. I'd like to meet her just so I can give her a double cheeseburger, some tater tots, and a chocolate shake. That being said, I'm ashamed at how much this made me laugh. - Harvey Simmons

i don't think they look that similar.. the social media movie star thing on the other hand though... dead on - Tyler

I just realized that there is an entire web site behind this: sarahjessicaparkerlookslikeahorse.com - Mike Doeff

i have always thought that - Michelle Trent

...and i find it deeply ironic that her new perfume is called "lovely" - Nathan Eckenrode

Wow there twins.... - John Spencer

I"ve been saying this for years. I'm like the guy that first thought of soap, but didn't say anything. - rambn

ouch! - JA Castillo

Actually, the funniest part lies in the (fake) "ads by Google" selection you get when you go to the web site: The Sexy City Laser Mole Removal, Old Hag Varicose Veins Treatment, City Botox Injections for Aging Hipsters, Over 40 and Your Career is Shot? - Pierre-Philippe Martin

I'm sure I remember a Weebl and Bob episode that featured a perfume named "horseface". Can't seem to find it now though. - Slippy Lane

I love Sarah Jessica Parker (I admire her for being "herself" and not getting a nose job). My husband *hates* her character on SATC. It's more of a reflection of the Carrie Bradshaw character's shallow self-centeredness than how SJP looks in real life. However, if someone had a site gingermakelalookslikearat.com I'd probably be hurt. - Ginger Makela

This site is hilarious. Picture #6 is the best. - SciFi Ranter Girl

This site is moderately funny at best. I really am not a fan of finding a persons physical flaws then exploiting and mocking them for the enjoyment of others. It feels far too Junior High for my liking (think Mean Girls). In this age of preteen dieting and sweet 16 nose jobs, sites like this send a terrible message. - Erica Baker

That's wrong. Everyone knows she looks like a foot. (Family Guy) - Cecily Walker

Given, this is a bit mean. But the movie sucks, tho. - Rubin via twhirl

@Sprague So shes not conventionally attractive (for the record, I think shes got a great smile), should that warrant mockery? Do we blame her for playing the role of a fashionista/writer because she wouldn't go out and become conventionally attractive for the part? Should someone more "conventionally attractive" be cast as Carrie Bradshaw? - Erica Baker

I want to hide this conversation. I should hide this conversation. It's just too funny. Is there a 12-step program for this? I need help. - Harvey Simmons via fftogo

We see a lot of stars go completely mental and it's no wonder. They work in a damned if you do, damned if you don't industry. If they don't conform, they get made fun of and if they attempt to conform, it gets blasted all over Us Weekly. - Erica Baker

Erica, in my perfect world, nobody would've been cast as Carrie Bradshaw, because Carrie Bradshaw wouldn't exist. - Cecily Walker

oh that is just ugly...funny...but ugly...LOL - Ruth Ferguson

@Erika: I *hate* it when random people are mocked for their looks... especially if it's directed *at* the individual. But people who have made it their business to exist in the public eye and --as @Sprague pointed out-- have allowed themselves to be marketed as some sort of standard of beauty and style... well, that's a little different. If you don't want people discussing your looks, don't spend your life in front of cameras. - Roger Benningfield
