The BEST James Bond Theme...and no this isn't sarcasm. Anyone who disagrees will be made to listen to the Jack White/Alicia Keyes travesty of a Bond theme a million times. - Alex Scoble CISSP via Bookmarklet
Nah Uh! Goldfinger=Shirley Bassey, FTW! :p And I am shielded from the White/Keys travesty for life. :p - Helen Sventitsky
I like die another day - RAPatton
Too bad it couldn't save the movie. I like FYEO much better, musically. - Josh Haley
Both of you will now be shepherded straight to the Jack White/Alicia Keyes Bond theme travesty room...have fun. - Alex Scoble CISSP
i think the White/Keyes is actually pretty damn good. - Zee from WeDoCreative
Josh, for your comment you also receive an all expense paid trip to the Jack White/Alicia Keyes Bond theme travesty room...have fun listening to one of the worst Bond songs ever...One Meelion Times! - Alex Scoble CISSP
Zee will be following Josh in the shackles of shame to the White/Keyes room of torturous hell. - Alex Scoble CISSP
Shirley Bassey owns the throne forever. I honestly liked "Another Way to Die." But then again, I liked "Live and Let Die", too. For some reason I find them similar. - Victor Ganata
Sigh...good thing we built the room with extra capacity. Victor also gets a free trip to the worst Bond theme song ever room...have fun listening to Jack White wail talentlessly for one million times. - Alex Scoble CISSP
White's song was an excellent opening track - ballsiest rock song opening in years - Christopher Galtenberg
Hell, I watched the *original* "Casino Royale." Nothing can faze me. - Victor Ganata
No shame here. Living Daylights as a film sucked balls compared to most of the other films and this theme song is whiny. Nothing against Dalton. His debut was great in License to Kill. But anyway, this is about the music...For Your Eyes Only rules, followed by Live and Let Die, then View to a Kill, Diamonds are Forever. - Josh Haley
Yet another traveler to the theme song room of doom, congratulations to Christopher Galtenberg, you too will be spending a long time listening to Jack White's insipid voicings for far longer than you could possibly tolerate. - Alex Scoble CISSP
For getting your facts wrong (Timothy Dalton debuted in The Living Daylights), your sentence is now two million listens to the Jack White song. - Alex Scoble CISSP
Tom Jones FTW! Hahaha!!! - Victor Ganata
I can handle 2 million listens, sure. You are correct about the chronology, but it doesn't change the fact that Living Daylights sucked on your balls a bit. - Josh Haley
+1 VG! Forgot about Thunderball! :D - Helen Sventitsky
LOL, Josh...you just didn't like Living Daylights cuz it kicked your ass a bit. ;) Aston Martin V8 Vantage FTW! Best Bond car ever. - Alex Scoble CISSP
*biting tongue hard as truce is in place* It's ...um...better than the later Moore films Alex......*must be good* - Abby Martin
ROFL, Abby...this thread is about the theme song and not the movie though. - Alex Scoble CISSP
Alex: you're crazy. Any theme with Shirley Bassey wins over any other theme any day. - Steven Perez
Oh come on! Goldfinger by Shirley Bassey is clearly the best Bond theme song. I also loved the one from Casino Royale by Chris Cornell. - Joey Gibson
Steven Perez is the latest winner to the worst Bond song of all time room for dissing the BEST Bond theme of all time. Enjoy your million song session of pain. And I don't expect this to get old anytime soon. :) It's so fun to banish people to a non-existent room of aural agony. - Alex Scoble CISSP
Joey Gibson, congratulations! Here's your complimentary straight jacket and eye lid holding open thingy for your trip to the million listens of doom room...Jack White will be personally putting the eye drops in your eyes himself by the way. Enjoy! - Alex Scoble CISSP
Alex: repeat after me - IT'S A-HA. Shirley Bassey crooning YOU ONLY LIVE TWICE > "aaaahhh ahhhh ahhhh ahhhhhhhhh the living daylights". - Steven Perez
Steven, you get an additional million song session for naming the wrong singer that performed You Only Live Twice...It was actually performed by Nancy Sinatra. - Alex Scoble CISSP
Alex: you lose 50,000,000,000,000,000 intrawebz bucks. http://www.mi6.co.uk/news/inde... - Steven Perez
You seriously want to go to bat against me on this? Nancy Sinatra performed it originally...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v... - Alex Scoble CISSP
Ah, but I wasn't talking about originals. And the article I linked clearly calls this a cover song. - Steven Perez
You get an extra million song session with Jack White for your impudence! The 4 million song session comes with a courtesy laser dongle removal from Auric Technologies if you want to up your score! - Alex Scoble CISSP
And anyway, I'm half deaf, so I would only hear half the horror of Jack Black and Alicia Keys. HA HA! I DEFY YOUR PITIFUL PUNISHMENT, SIR! - Steven Perez
sorry, the best Bond theme is from OHMSS by the master John Barry. key feature... no terrible lyrics. that movie also featured the great Louis Armstrong doing "We Have All the Time in the World." OHMSS is the most under-rated Bond movie ever, despite the Lazenby. probably best book also. - Jon Price
For your continued defiance, not only will you get the free laser castration treatment, but you will now be forced to read a million blog posts by my brother on how China is so much better than we are! - Alex Scoble CISSP
oh - Alex, we totally take it back! - Christopher Galtenberg
I dig the "proformed" banner that streams across at the beginning of this... - Jon Price

Google Chrome has this too. It's wonderful. Chrome goes so far as to allow you to drop tabs into it from other browsers. I hope Firefox does that as well. - xero
Man, once you go Chrome, you won't go back! Too bad it's not on Mac yet. - Cem Catikkas
I love that FF is going to allow tearing tabs. (btw: I tried chrome and it isn't too hot on flash video IMHO) - zoblue (Zulema) via Alert Thingy
I can't wait for FF 3.1 I don't use a lot of extensions but the ones I do I rely on. Current plugins + possibly better than chrome js speed with Tracemonkey. - mikepk
oooh very nice - Snipergirl
I thought Firefox did that already? - Outsanity
Firefox lets you move tabs between windows. Doesn't let you move the tab out and create a new window. - Cem Catikkas

"It's been four months almost to the day since iPhone 2.0 came, and we've been hitting the App Store hard every week ever since to sift through what's new in iPhone App land. This week, we've decided to hold back for a second, take a breath, and compile a different kind of list: the apps that many of us on staff actually use on a regular basis. If you have a new iPhone or iTouch just waiting to be filled up, or you feel like you may be missing some essentials in your collection, this is the list for you." - Baard Overgaard Hansen via Bookmarklet

Obama to Address the Nation Each Week on YouTube
Friday at 11:55 am - via Bookmarklet - Link
Does that mean YouTube will be public property like the radio spectrum? - Benjamin Doherty via IM
Obama: The most powerful social media organizer in the word. - Alex Williams
So awesome. - Clay Newton
bangpound - no joke, it is a little strange isn't it? government moves slow though and this is a good example of how sometimes the smartest thing it can do is be smart about what steps to follow the corporate world in. notice there's no SecondLife version! lol - Marshall Kirkpatrick via IM
I wonder if I can buy advertising on Barack Obama's weekly youtube videos. - Benjamin Doherty via IM
f-ing BRILLIANT. - Patricia
What would be a good name for what something that is essentially Fireside Chat 2.0? - Victor Ganata
i can't wait for the comments on his videos to fill up with homophobic anti-semetic nonsensical ramblings. i can think of no better forum for presidential conversation than youtube comments. BRING ON THE GAYNESS LOL THIS SUX! - Baratunde Thurston via twhirl
baratunde! you are too right too right. maybe you should stick to conversing with the Pres in more civilized fora, like as his MySpace friend? - Marshall Kirkpatrick via IM
Aww, so no live Ustream.tv broadcast to precede the YouTube post? - Glenn Batuyong
this should be interesting, wonder if Obamatube.com is already taken. - Thomas Hunsaker via IM
@benjamin Doherty: exactly. - Chris Hollander
Bad idea. Only dictators did that on old tv. - dedalusjmmr
FDR would've done it if they had had the Internet. Or TV. - Victor Ganata
I guess dedalusjmmr must be unaware that Presidents do weekly radio address. - Anika Malone
Brilliant!! What a way to talk to the next generation and get them involved. This is going to bring in more people. I love it!!! - Chris W
Will comments be allowed? Will it be available on iTunes like it has been for the past..ohh 6 years? - Mike L via twhirl
I agree Chris. When I was a kid, I used to listen to the weekly addresses. When the WH started putting the text online, I'd just read it. When they started posting the audio, it made it easier to do it on my time. And I like going back through the archives, though it's annoying that the current way the WH posts the address, no longer give short summaries. This will make it even easier to view/listen when I want. - Anika Malone
Certainly beats preempting your favourite TV show. "We now return to your regularly scheduled program, already in progress." - Andrew Smith
What happens to the digitally disenfranchised in these "Fireside" YouTube chats? Is there a plan "B" for them apart from XM? - Melanie Reed
If BHO wants to reach everybody on the Net maybe he needs to make a porno too. - Bill Miranda
Melanie the WH has been archiving the transcript and audio on whitehouse.gov for awhile now. The weekly addresses will still be on the radio as they have for the past 80 or so years. - Anika Malone
Anika, Thank you. I was aware of the WH site for some time. But I was concerned that the DD not be left out. It is good to know that these communications will still be radio-accessible. That is all many of these people have or understand. And that's all right. Their need and wisdom are still very vital. - Melanie Reed
He wouldn't be the first high government representative doing something like this. Queen Rania of Jordan encouraged a video debate there in the run up to Youth Day in August and the British Royals have a channel there without comments I believe, with archived videos. But I don't think it's a good idea to have the weekly presidential address. At least not JUST in YouTube. Is he doing the video with some other TV or video companies or is it just YouTube? - Cibeles
I'd love it if Gordon Brown did this, oh wait, no, maybe not. ;-) - Kol Tregaskes

Blip.fm
October 27 at 8:54 pm - via Reshare - Link
I'm sure a lot of people have heard of Blip.fm, but I just discovered it for myself. In 20 minutes, I've already heard 4 or 5 great songs from bands that I had not heard of. That's impressive since I'm always searching for good music. It's a good idea, and it is well executed. - Dan Fitek
Sigh. - Patricia
Why the sigh Patricia? Is it because you guys have covered the heck out of this while I wasn't paying attention? - Dan Fitek
I'd like to sigh too. I'd say 90% of my twitterfeed post links in from blip.fm all day long. They have music battles with each other. For me, I think it's a waste. There is no music there that I like. None. It's counterintuitive and don't even get me started on the 'props'. Once a week for the past 2 months, I've been trying to kill my account. I still get email from them, someone just added me as fave "DJ" and the account won't die. I clicked on 'cancel my account' last Wed. Today, I can still log in. - Anika Malone
@dan, i'm sorry, covered the heck out of who? confused.... - Patricia
check out my interview with the ceo (shameless plug) http://www.nerdstalker.com/200... - adolfo foronda
I sign-up. I enter my 3 favourite artists, Tool, A Perfect Circle and NIN. The first song on that I hear on my 'personal radar' is Culture Club's - The War Song! WTF! - Paul Grav
I didn't set it up to feed to twitter, I think that would be rude to my twitter followers. @Patricia, disregard my comment, I was just guessing about why you would sigh. Now I see some potential reasons. I'm still enjoying the service so far. - Dan Fitek
If you like to find the music without the Blip interface, use http://skreemr.com/. Same results to searches and Skreemr includes direct links to the MP3 files themselves! - Jared B. Luther
@Jared, I can't search for the music because I don't know what specific songs I'm after. That site is useful though. As a side note about Blip.fm. You can't rely totally on the system recommendations about who to follow. I add recommended DJs, and then remove them if they play too much Depeche Mode. :) - Dan Fitek

thanks Laura, hopefully more goodness to come! :) - Zee from WeDoCreative
Great post Zee. FriendFeed is so much more than a simple lifestreaming aggregator. I think a lot of people are confused by it at first. It's definitely what you make of it. I think the most important thing that people have to understand about FriendFeed is that participation is the key. As you state in the first point, "as long as you contribute and have something interesting to share - you’ll be paid attention to." I look forward to hearing what else you have to say about FF. - Mark Wilson
much appreciated Mark, yeah, to be honest I'm looking forward to the next post more than anything :) - Zee from WeDoCreative
Okay Zee, your reply (on Scoble's feed) made me laugh (in a good way) and actually come over here and read this. Thanks for not stressing on my comment. :) - Bill Jackson
I love that we all understand what FF is trying to do....but there are people who are prepared to try and break it out...Zee is one of those. Zee, keep on doing yr do. :))))))))))) - Iain Baker
