Most teens just want to talk with their friends, not write to the world, he says. - Robert Scoble

that's it- the understanding of publics. - Kevin Marks

Plus they have video games for entertainment and have lots of time. I don't have time, so Twitter is a form of entertainment that I can get in bite sized chunks. - Robert Scoble

That's it in one sentence: "Most teens just want to talk with their friends, not write to the world, he says" now maybe the world can start spinning again. - Hoop

It's really interesting how I've noticed that most of my peers (20-somethings) are too hooked on Facebook to use Twitter or FriendFeed. Again, they don't see the point; Facebook has built-in Twitter that shares with the people they already know and care about. - Jason Preston

my 13 yr old daughter says the same - Miguel Rodriguez

too easy to get in trouble for what you say - on most networks you have to accept the invite of those who want to connect - not so on twitter - Julie Gallaher

That's the same response I get from nieces and nephews. - Joseph Ferris

Same thing I hear from a ton of people, regardless of age. For most people, they first need a "point" to use it or else they either don't sign up or don't return. - Jeff Peters

Because their parents are there - Bwana ☠

danah talked about how some teens are using private twitter accounts, as Facebook is now too public, as their parents and teachers are there http://bit.ly/Awmw9 Multiple publics http://bit.ly/publics - Kevin Marks

My 14-year-old daughter doesn't want to share her life with the world on Twitter...and I'm good with that! - Kirsti Scott

They care, like us about reputation, but within their 'groups' - not publicly.... - Mrinal Desai

I am here, and I am only thirteen. But I use it to post news, not about my life. - Zachary TG

I'll have to explain it to her in detail before she gets it, prefers Facebook since ALL of her friends are there - Miguel Rodriguez

Kids today don't understand nor care about the social dynamics that they will be involved in. Without a solid background now they can never hope to make truly justified choices later on. It scares me because I have to deal with them directly. - Adam

Good plan, Zachary! - Kirsti Scott

I'm not much older than your son, but I have a twitter. Noticeably many of my friends detest twitter and compare it to facebook status messages, therefore they are unable to understand what makes Twitter great. Facebook has managed to grab the minds of us teenagers. I must admit I am much more inclined to update my facebook statuses as my friends will comment on it. - Rahul Krishnakumar

Adam- Pardon? I do. - Zachary TG

the reason Twitter does well with teens is because they don’t care about networking – the act of creating/extending a network – as much as they do in their existing network itself. http://www.kanjhan.com/2009... - Bhavishya Kanjhan

PARDON ME! DOES ANYBODY HAVE A BRAIN? - Zachary TG

Don't worry Zachary - you don't exist in this thread - Bwana ☠

And why? - Zachary TG

It seems that every ones use of these tools is a bit different. I use twitter/friendfeed to keep in touch with fellow surfers and fellow web developers I know both here and across the world. Twitter/friendfeed have be come my best tools for this. - Luke Kilpatrick

My son, while I type into FriendFeed, is playing Halo. The original one. - Robert Scoble

Yet when I talk about the importance of tying Twitter to gaming, I get ignored - Bwana ☠

Zach - no clue man, you're the exception the point in this thread :) - Bwana ☠

Also teenagers are less likely to stick with Twitter long enough to make it useful to them, Facebook has a sort of instant gratification with adding your friends and commenting them etc. - Chris Lawrence

I am @ricklafave on twitter, but I see the gap being that teens are all about text direct conversations. I see a huge gap in communication between the generations. - Rick LaFave

Thank you for that clarification. - Zachary TG

Bwana- You just got yourself another subscriber. :) - Zachary TG

Hey now, I'm 16 and Twitter totally rules over Facebook for me. Twitter's for discussing news; Facebook's for your personal life. Totally agree w/ Zachary TG - Kirk R. Arner

Success! - Bwana ☠

I'm with Zachary, Adam... that was a bit of a blanket statement. - Bettina Tizzy

Not too big on FriendFeed, though. Not enough people use it yet. - Kirk R. Arner

I got to this through Scoble's Twitter crossposting. - Kirk R. Arner

Bettina Tizzy: Thank you - Zachary TG

Of course there are exceptions, I'm 19 and I'm on Friendfeed and Twitter, but we're talking about the majority of teenagers, Kirk and Zachary. - Chris Lawrence

Have to agree here... my kid (13) and step brother (14) are total facebook kids... they occasionally hop on MySpace as well. Both try to get into Twitter, but really do not see the point. - Darin aka iGoByDoc

Chris Lawrence: I understand. But like 60% of students at my school use Twitter, only around 40% use Facebook. - Zachary TG

By the time today's teens are into things they'll look upon Twitter like we now look at IRC. I'm wondering if I even still have an IRC client on my machine.... - Andrew Leyden

Totally agree, Chris, but more teens are into tech than people think. Not all of us are texting to our friends about useless junk 24/7. - Kirk R. Arner

because it takes too long and is too involved... - Morgan Haley

Adults are very lazy...140 characters is tough to power through, but doable. The only people lazier than adults? Teenagers. Why bother with Twitter when their lives revolve around Facebook and it meets all their needs? - Todd Pringle

That's really cool, I know about three of my friends on Twitter and they never use it haha. And if they do they use it as they would Facebook status. - Chris Lawrence

Even though I text friends, it is just for information, not for useless information. - Zachary TG

Todd Pringle: I am so not lazy. I wouldn't be spelling my words correctly now would I? - Zachary TG

Texting has always been really big in Australia, Zachary. It's a habit that's hard to get out of. - Chris Lawrence

Well yeah, same for me, but we're the exceptions. - Kirk R. Arner

Except for the Australia thing. - Kirk R. Arner

Zach: speaking in generalities of course. Clearly you are an exception. All up on Friendfeed and whatnot. - Todd Pringle

I recently started texting. But it was almost created in Canada. - Zachary TG

I will be happy when everyone has the internet in their pocket and I can just email people instead of spending 25c everytime I want to use 140 characters :( - Chris Lawrence

Todd Pringle: Thank you. I see that people on FriendFeed are different then the casual social networker. We have manners and use large words and sentences. Thank you - Zachary TG

goes back to "announce" vs. "discuss", too. Fb has nice "my friends and family" feel that Twitter and FF don't yet have. - MikeAmundsen

Chris Lawrence- What is the 25c for? - Zachary TG

Depends on geographic area. Here it was the Myspace revolution, then slowly became Facebook. The early adopters of Facebook jumped on the Twitter ship and now the middle stage of Facebook adopters are jumping to Twitter. Does Facebook rule supreme among my group? Yes, with myspace a close second, and twitter slowly catching up. PS, i'm 16. - Sean Quinn

It's 25c per SMS in Australia. - Chris Lawrence

I also don't think most teenagers grasp the difference between Twitter and Facebook. My friends who are content with Facebook don't see any need for Twitter and are actually puzzled by it's intended use. Over and over again I here, "Well Facebook can do that, can't it?" - Angus Burton

OK - Zachary TG

It is only 5c in Canada per text, and unlimited for 5 dollars. - Zachary TG

Yeah phone plans in Australia are really ridiculous. There are hardly any unlimited SMS plans and the ones that are you are usually paying over $80 a month. But I digress! - Chris Lawrence

Wow. - Zachary TG

But our data plans are outrageous. $30 for only 500MB. - Zachary TG

My 16-year-old daughter said the same thing a few months back. But she finally relented and is on Twitter now. A few weeks ago she said "I've never been more informed in my life" since joining. - Patrick Giblin

Seeing the longtail of Twitter takes a somewhat more mature mindset. That's why some mature teens can 'get' Twitter and why some childish adults don't (and content with Facebook). - CannonGod

I think the topic teens liking or not liking twitter topic is entertaining at best. Does anyone have any decent statistics on this? Not to mention the term "teen" is pretty loose 13 and 18 are a world apart. I would think a teen using or not using would be more based on their personal interest. My 20 and 30 year old friends that aren't in the tech industry could care less about it. - Nicholas Fidanza

Admittedly younger generations want to talk with less ppl but more frequently, and adults want to create more connections for friendship or financial gain. Kids don't need to worry about being loved, they have mum & dad at the end of the day :-P Sad single geeks however... - CannonGod

@Angus that was a comment concern among my friends. Where twitter began to rule was among mobile updating. Although teens can use and do use Facebook Mobile, a two-way conversation can work well among a group of friends via Twitter on mobile phones much rather than Facebook status updates/conversations on Facebook, in my experience. - Sean Quinn

I'm 16 and me and my close group of friends use twitter-its possible to have "chat room" like conversations about things (where are we gonna go after school, etc.) if we're all hooked up on it-it works great, but admittedly some kids use twitter more than others (like me) - Oliver Reich

My 15 year old chats on Myspace with her friends. I told here to message one of her regular chat buddies as "You Troll" today and she laughed until she almost peed her pants. :) - Eric Logan

I just see Twitter as Social SMS. Teens like texting, so really it's just an extension of that. I can therefore see it being used more as a tool rather than an actual network per-say. - CannonGod

While it’s possible to make Twitter “private,” the culture of Twitter is all about participation in a large public square. From the digerati seeking widespread attention to the politically minded hoping to appear on CNN, many are leveraging Twitter to be part of a broad dialogue. Teens are much more motivated to talk only with their friends and they learned a harsh lesson with social... more... - Johni Fisher

my oldest is 20 and uses Twitter and friendfeed a lot but he's a techie- my youngest is 17, uses mostly facebook and sms with friends - doesn't grok twitter yet he's very social... - mike "glemak" dunn from iPhone

got kids 24, 22, & 18. 24 is the only Tweeter. all use Fb. none use FF. - MikeAmundsen

There's a great article up on the London Guardian about this - http://www.guardian.co.uk/busines... - Steffan Antonas

The article discusses that Teens like building out profiles, and taking to people they know. Twitter's not really for that - it's used more for information sharing IMO. - Steffan Antonas

It's a crime to suggest that Twitter as a whole is just a single feature of FB and has been that way since the beginning. I never understood when Twittr was demo'd to me how a single feature of a bigger app (in my case, IM status/mood messages) needed to be an app on its own. However, what the early adopter mass wants, the early adopter mass gets (until the mainstream mass shows up and it's zomg culture/class war... I LOVE watching this.) - Eric Rice

Sean: That's a good point. Strangely, using Twitter as a conversation base didn't occur to me. I actually thought more about using a FriendFeed room for that. - Angus Burton

I agree with Patrick and I'm well past my teens! FF adds talking with my friends, so it works. - Rachel Lea Fox

It is simple: kids don't use Twitter because they dont have an iPhone! Most teenagers don't have a decent internet enabled device that allows them to use Twitter nicely. Most parents can't afford (or want) to pay $150+ phone bills for their kids plus buy them an iPhone. I have many young friends and they all love the "Big Brother" spirit of Twitter. I totally dont believe the "I'm a... more... - Arturo Toledo

No dis... I have a 19 y/o daughter...Maybe it because he sees you using it and thinks its an "old people" thing... ? - Ron Thompson

What does he think about FF? - Geoff Schultz

Geoff: same thing, but then he might be biased cause I hang here all day and it's simply not cool to hang out with your parents when you're 15. - Robert Scoble

It's a lot easier to have friends in school. On the outside you have to be a bit more proactive. - Todd Hoff

True enough Robert, Also true Todd. - Geoff Schultz

I only use Twitter to broadcast what I am doing on Posterous, and FriendFeed. - Matt Ruiz

I'm an older (some say very old) user and friends my age don't do Twitter, FB etc. Their opinion: why bother when I have email? Why would I want to share with the Internet at large? The web is full of idiots. - Robert Hafer from iPhone

Geoff: I read FriendFeed I just don't post very much. I enjoy reading Twitter and FF they can cetainly be informative and interesting. None of my friends are on Twitter so I was speaking from my experience with them, not all teens. - Patrick Scoble

Todd: That is also absolutely true with students. - Patrick Scoble

It is true but a lot of adults don't see the point of it either at the moment and I think it'll change.I'm 19 and I think it's more useful than Facebook etc. - Craig Malone

kids dont use words or language, they communicat through hyperlinks & txt. as they get older, they'll appreciate the value of words - echostreamer

Teens spend 6 or 8 hours a day within a few hundred feet of most of the people they know. Why would they need Twitter? - Rob Sterling

the same reason they spend the next 8 hours glued to facebook and the internet instead of going outside to chill with those friends (no offense :) - echostreamer

Yeah, but information on Facebook is shared the same way as in school - it's hierarchical and clique-based. Kids are more like base primates than adults. Twitter is too open, when they want to control the dissemination of information among those people they know in school. - Rob Sterling

There are a lot of 13-15 year-olds on Twitter, just look around :) The best way to find them is to find a celebrity who might garner a teen following ... That said, Twitter is (for now) nowhere near as popular with teens as MySpace and Facebook, for sure. - dcap

Also, most kids can't afford smartphones, and using Twitter exclusively by text message is mostly a one-way affair. It's pretty lame. I bet your 15 y.o. son loves to text and spends hours on Facebook. - Steve Lynch from twhirl

I think teens may be more privacy savvy than the media paints them. They know that a nasty Tweet about a school official can get them expelled; but a private txt is safe. - Robert Hafer

How many teens are marketing gurus and life coaches? Kids aren't selling anything and see no need to sell themselves. THAT'S why they don't care about Twitter. - Kimber Scott

Robert: it is worse than that. One message can get them shunned. - Robert Scoble from iPhone

Just like my older friends, they have no desire to connect with the Twitter-verse at large. But for different reasons. - Robert Hafer

I've been looking for the point for a long time :O) - To me it has become a place where I can "vocalize" things I've always just said to myself before. I just find it funny anyone actually "listens" - Bill Rawlinson

Sounds familiar: http://blog.monicaobrien.com/why-hig... - Monica O'Brien

There are many uses of twitter :) - Key KnowHow

I think its good that teens don't like twitter. We can get on here without them! - Su Butcher

As a teenager I didn't see the point of reading a newspaper either, but now I work in one! - | Balu |

I don't have any friends, so I'm forced to write for the world. - Big K

Interns in my office say they know college friends starting to use Twitter. Of course, none of the interns actually do. Twitter seems to be good for celebrities and professional networking. - Hutch Carpenter

What's the big deal ? Most teens don't follow current events like politics or the economy either, it's not what being a kid is about. - Doug Randall in SL

So that means he will like Google Wave? = the next Teen Twitter - Hans Kainz

We can't say that Google Wave is the next Twitter, it's more instant messaging than anything (and I'd say FriendFeed relates more to it than Twitter does). - Hugh Isaacs II

I do deeply hope that Google Wave takes off. I really hate signing into my msn account just to keep in touch with friends who can't get on the GTalk bandwagon or just don't see the point. - Chris Chua

I think if you could start a conversation like this one on twitter just like on ff or fb with commenting tweets or just parsing them when you reply, it would be a lot more interesting - Kaysha

Interesting that the 15 year old kid who got the job at Morgan Stanley did so because his mum knew a chap who she met when dog walking - so not what he knew but who his mum knew, and because of that he had an audience for his opinion. - Simon Rogers

another possibility ADD - polou/indigo_bow

Wrote a post about this a long time ago. Interaction will scale down as the possibilities to interact scale up. The next gen doesn't care about talking to the whole world. There is little value in it - Alexander van Elsas from iPhone

Just blogged on this subject. I don't believe this is a generational issue. It's about privacy and signal:noise ratio. When those degrade, communities migrate to new social networking services, regardless of group members' average age. http://lehawes.wordpress.com/2009... - Larry Hawes

I think that might be why the US doesn't embrace soccer. It seems they don't sit down and watch something start to finish, they walk around and do other stuff while they watch TV, and therefor soccer is hard to keep up with - Jackson Pollock

if you pay for cable, is it legal to download something that you've technically already paid for? all you're really doing is providing your own dvr service? - Chris Heath

Hows that different from american football? - Preternat (Ken Cadby)

Preternat; I haven't watched much of it, but there's a break every 3 minutes - Jackson Pollock

it's nonstop, american football has breaks all the time - Chris Heath

Wonder if tthe cottage alarm system is Local only - Greg

if you sit down and intend to watch something, it's annoying to sit there through 50% commercials - Jackson Pollock

I love "Soccer" but Im English and we call it football - gully666uk

no commercials except for the sideline ads also is another big difference - Chris Heath

yeah, i see now. good point. - Preternat (Ken Cadby)

yeah speedwatching of American Football is watch a play skip 30 seconds on the DVR - Ryan

you can constantly get up and do things with no content loss - Ryan

it really messes with your ability to focus for longer periods of time, you want stuff quick and fast - Jackson Pollock

I'm afraid it's going to get a lot worse than a lot of commercials, pretty soon IMO you will be paying A LOT to watch the sports and it will be all on cable too :( - Kevin Adair

Perhaps Americans are just more busy. Europeans (especially around the Mediterranean) are relaxed and calm, don't rush over ANYTHING - Jackson Pollock

Im gonna catch the rest of this on fstream.see ya. - gully666uk

what is fstream? - Charbax

150 comments in half an hour? And I'm supposed to read through this and address people how? Dear Leo, your last remaining (official) forum misses you. Come back to leovilletownsquare.com some time to let people know it's worth using. If Friendfeed is the only thing that you plan on using from now on, please leave your forum a message so they stop trying to be involved with you. - Robert

Robert, try http://irc.twit.tv - Chris Heath

If you don't make your own fan page on Facebook, Facebook will actually DELETE the unofficial facebook fan page, without any questions, deleting all thousands of fans that were on the unofficial fan page - Charbax

I do love you, Leo! - Lise

American Football... not a matter of "busy" with me. I like the predictable periods of excitement (ie the plays), and appreciate some analysis in between. Replays come often too, if you're away for a minute and want to see what happened. If I'm at the field I prefer soccer. - Preternat (Ken Cadby)

Chris, I used Stickam to chat, but gave up because I'd like to use an actual forum to discuss TWiT related info, but the official TWiT Forum fiasco has pretty much destroyed all hope for that for a lot of people. The "Revenge" forum is sorta active, but has functionality issues. - Robert

Exactly why i like futobol better... it's not predictable - Chris Heath

Robert, stickam chat was the worst chat ever... irc has always been the official chat - Chris Heath

american football was made popular in the US by George Clooney, watch the film - Charbax

It also has something to do with the US always being "bigger and better". I have to admit soccer seems very girly after seeing 300lbs guys crashing into each other - Jackson Pollock

US always is bigger and dumber you mean - Charbax

Robert, how active is the leovilletownsquare? do you know how many users there are there? - Chris Heath

They again, rugby is the same thing, only without any padding at all - Jackson Pollock

jackson, kind of a mix - Chris Heath

Yeah. I like the NFL though, when the playoffs are going on, I try to tune in. But I always do other stuff at the same time - Jackson Pollock

John C should join the Friendfeed room instead - Charbax

I thought we were discussing TWiT... not football... - Derek Erdmann

Yea, we kinda went off topic(s) - CJ Sauk

Preternat; I hear that - Jackson Pollock

I trust Steve. Apple is like his kid. He wants it to succeed more than anything. He does what seems best. - Jackson Pollock

Apple is an evil monopoly - Charbax

What people forget, is that before having the surgery back when he first god cancer, he first spent 2-3 months trying "alternate" medicine - Jackson Pollock

Question is has the Apple Board of Director opened themselves for lawsuits for not disclosing this information if its true? - Greg

In some ways you are right Charbax but the quality of the apple creations are in a class of their own - joe mercier

Greg; It's very compelling to say so, but would this really be the case in any other company? If Michael Dell had cancer, he had to disclose it to the board? I don't think so - Jackson Pollock

maybe the liver transplant part is disinfo and he really got some other treatment - Chris Heath

Quality? Apple products are always overpriced. - Charbax

Apple is not even close to being a Monopoly - CJ Sauk

Think it is a regulation in a publicly traded company - Greg

Charbax, say what you will, but their quality is superb above anything else on the market. - Jackson Pollock

It should have been reveled without a doubt. If I was a share holder I would be upset - Jeff Vreeland

Itunes and OSX is a monopoly and should be illegal - Charbax

OSX? it's at like 10%? - Jackson Pollock

I agree Jackson Pollock - joe mercier

No they are not.... - CJ Sauk

Because there are other choices they do not own a Monopoly - CJ Sauk

OSX cannot be installed on third party hardware, definition of illegal monopolistic hardware/software lock - Charbax

iTunes is a free download, with 100000x competitors - Jackson Pollock

steve himself is probably the source - Chris Heath

"a monopoly exists when a specific individual or enterprise has sufficient control over a particular product or service to determine significantly the terms on which other individuals shall have access to it." - CJ Sauk

itunes forces you to buy ipods - Charbax

Charbax, so, if I build something, I have to sell the software to other people? that's bull - Jackson Pollock

charbax ipods force you to use itunes - Chris Heath

you have it backwards - Chris Heath

But there are other MP3 Players - CJ Sauk

if you buy music on itunes you have to buy ipods to play it back - Charbax

cj and there are other music stores and organizers - Chris Heath

Charbax? No? you can play it on the computer? - Jackson Pollock

Charbax, and it's not even DRM'ed anymore - Jackson Pollock

Apple is only "thought" of as a Monopoly because people are dumb enough to not look at other options - CJ Sauk

I use Amazon's 256k music store, the quality is much better - Kevin Adair

Apple unDRMed itunes only recently cause they were going to be sued by the European Union for billions - Charbax

Kevin makes the point. If Apple were a monopoly in the area, he couldn't do that - Jackson Pollock

I agree with Leo - the source was Apple so they could control the source. - Jeff Vreeland

Apple does illegal monopolistic tactics selling the iphone as well, locking people in with carriers that pay Apple for exclusivity. That's illegal as well and evil. The EU is sueing Apple for that as well - Charbax

I buy music from other sources, like Amazon. - Preternat (Ken Cadby)

Charbax; conclusion; if you don't like Apple products, you have options in every category. It's regrettable that you can't find products of equal quality - Jackson Pollock

Segway to the ATT $30 credit - Jeff Vreeland

Jackson - Agreed - CJ Sauk

I find Archos to be of much higher quality. Plays DivX, Flash video, 95% of web videos, on much larger screens, HD resolutions and cheaper than the iphone - Charbax

Charbax, perfect! I'm so happy you're happy with something else. Point made, they're not a monopoly - Jackson Pollock

It doesn't change to the fact that Apple uses illegal monopolistic tactics - Charbax

Canada has 3 yr contract for iPhone - Greg

Archos used the ARM Cortex A8 about 10 months before Apple - Charbax

720p video playback on an iphone would make no sense, since the screen resolution is so low and it has no HDMI output. Archos plays 720p on 3x larger resolution screen and has HDMI output - Charbax

Could Google Voice change things when it comes out? - CJ Sauk

Leo, Would love to hear everyone's opinion on how long AT&T will be the only carrier of iPhone. - Jeff Vreeland

Google Voice will provide free VOIP on Android worldwide - Charbax

It is recording 720p video that it can do, not playback (though probably via an external display). - JR Holmes

SMS isn't technically data. It's sent through the phone's control channels that it uses to communicate with the tower. It doesn't cost the cell carrier anything extra to send SMS messages over the control channel because those bands have to be kept open anyway. - nick

Wow, first I've heard this. Question is though, if you remove your Voice Plan from your phone and only go with Data will they increase the price - CJ Sauk

it has no HD video input for recording, and the camcorder has bad optics so what would be the point - Charbax

AT&T is good in the old Ameritech region (upper Midwest). It has good coverage and is pretty responsive. - JR Holmes

I would kill for a data only iPhone... - Byron McCollum

You can have Data exclusive HSDPA sim cards in Europe for $20 per month. - Charbax

It's a great phone. The US just has horrible cell networks - Jackson Pollock

I'm sure you can do it in Canada with Rogers - CJ Sauk

Same here, Jeff Vreeland, I'd like an iPhone, but I'm not a fan of AT&T, how long must we wait? - dawt

I would like a iphone and have been offered one but I am to cheap to fork over the monthly charges - joe mercier

I really want an iPhone, but I can't really justify a $75 minimum monthly fee. - Derek Erdmann

I've never had a dropped call in my life, but I live in tiny Norway, and we have a better network. So don't blame Apple. Howard Stern complains about dropped call on his Blackberry on AT&T non stop. Screw you AT&T - Jackson Pollock

Voice is dead. - Byron McCollum

Ole fly is with you - joe mercier

Norway isn't tiny - Charbax

I use a trac phone. (LOL) cause I'm cheap. Use a netbook for everything else - joe mercier

Charbax; tiny compared with the US - Jackson Pollock

Ok, hooked up a jpg with the sign on - joe mercier

Audible should do an ad from where I work. People driving around on forklifts laughing their asses off listening to audiobooks - Jackson Pollock

Way hooked on Audible - joe mercier

Happy 200th TWIT Show and Anniversary! - Emery Walker

Have to agree with you Derek E. That $75 US is what is stopping me. I have a dumbphone with data and it only costs me $50. A 50% increase is steep to me. - JR Holmes

watching this episode, its like 1995 tech TV, great to see all again. also - friendfeed discussion is cool. Leo's right as always - FF rocks! - echostreamer

385,155 km2 (Norway) - 9,970,610 km2 (Canada) - 9,629,091 km2 (USA) - CJ Sauk

Norway has more coastline than the US - Charbax

And Canada has the most coast line in the world - CJ Sauk

The new iphone only costs $2099, what a bargain. - Charbax

Charbax, damn right - Jackson Pollock

What is this camera - joe mercier

The adjustable scrubbing feature is actually specific to iPhone OS 3, not the iPhone. - nick

Doesn't a Nikon DSLR cost the same and is much better? - Charbax

He ordered it 'cause it's SHINY - CJ Sauk

it's the retro thing - Jackson Pollock

Hong Kong is still one of my most favorite Countries - CJ Sauk

that's thailand - Jackson Pollock

I just was in Hong Kong, it's cool. I prefer Taipei where I was for filming computex http://techvideoblog.com/categor... - Charbax

ah great. TWiT and Howard taking the same weeks off. thank the lord I'm on vacation in the mountains of Norway. - Jackson Pollock

Whats the ? - CJ Sauk

try here?:) - Jackson Pollock

Europe is cheap and awesome and you can travel all over with cheap airlines and check all the big cities - Charbax

Charbax, awesome yes, cheap, no. - Jackson Pollock

There is couchsurfing.com and Youth Hostels in every city all over europe - Charbax

Definitely not cheap if coming from Canada - CJ Sauk

a beer in oslo costs $13 - Jackson Pollock

That's funny - Charbax

most expensive big mac in the world, $9. macbook pro; $2600, bla bla - Jackson Pollock

Email Google would be the best bet, their support for Google Sites is actually quite good - CJ Sauk

You can buy at cheapest EU prices at http://preissuchmachine.de but sure US is cheapest for consumer electronics - Charbax

DUMB, DUMB LEO.....you to can be worked over - joe mercier

is MS "Moro" the free anti bad stuff software for real? - joe mercier

Google is only a through way, you would have actually received your Domain from Go Daddy (last I remember) - CJ Sauk

You have to put the DNS stuff in and wait, sometimes wait 24/48 hours before DNS things propagate all over the world so your site works - Charbax

charbax, problem is that you have to pay 25% of price to the government, and 10% tax, in addition to high shipping prices. leaves you where you started - Jackson Pollock

Morro is real, but is of unknown quality. Initially it will look quite good, but part of the question will be how their updates are handled. - JR Holmes

thanks jr.........ole fly not running any anti ware currenlty...... - joe mercier

preissuchmachine.de is including the VAT and all taxes, shipping is just 15€ for the whole of Europe - Charbax

I thought Lindsay was asking the chat where to go on hollidays - Charbax

charbax, whole of EU. - Jackson Pollock

Joe: There are some good antiviruses that have a free version. Look for Avast and AVG. - JR Holmes

Thanks JR - joe mercier

Murphy-Goode's not gonna hire someone who swigs wine from the bottle, even it it's a joke. - Preternat (Ken Cadby)

You can setup unlimited amount of emails using *@yourdomain.com forwarding, if they don't find out manually - Charbax

hahahh. dave spritz - Jackson Pollock

Cars should be taken off the streets - Charbax

Strangely, I went to Sprint on the iPhone release day. They were desparate for people to come in. They actually had a Palm rep in a suburban store (and not an upmarket store). I wasn't too impressed by it. There is a lot of potential, but Android may be sucking out off the alternative iPhone juice. - JR Holmes

$60 per month for 5GB is ridiculous. You get 10GB HSDPA for $20 in Europe with no contract needed - Charbax

You can buy one and just use day passes--so pay as you go - Larry Roth

Android will win it - Charbax

it's $80 Canadian for just 5GB Data Plan - CJ Sauk

for the Iphone - CJ Sauk

For smartphones, I'm waiting for the Android flood of units toward the end of 2009. That will be an interesting time. The phone companies may actually start competing on that side of things. The mob of Android units may collectively start to give the iPhone some realistic competition. - JR Holmes

It'll kill the iphone - Charbax

I doubt it. The iPhone is on it's on level (at least in Apples eyes and other apple fanatics) - CJ Sauk

iphone 4.0 will have to use Android if they will want to compete. Same with next Pre and Nokia. - Charbax

Nite guys--Happy Father's day - Larry Roth

As long as there are idiots that will pay for Apple because it's apple the price will stay in its own bubble - CJ Sauk

Salad Daze is a Good Eats episode - Zeeshan Virani

The iPhone has 50,000 reasons that the iPhone 4 will not be on Android. - JR Holmes

Why doesn't he upload the Mpeg4 video to Youtube in full quality on an official Twit channel - Charbax

Those iphone apps are 98% useless, not reasons for anything. Android apps will be much more useful and are much more useful already - Charbax

That being said, there aren't too many reasons that anything other than the iPhone and Android will exist in the smartphone market in 2 years. - JR Holmes

Ahh, but they exist... That's all the excuse most people need. - CJ Sauk

hmm nop, most iphone users don't even know about the iphone apps - Charbax

RIM will still own the SmartPhone market as it does now - CJ Sauk

While many of the apps are poor, that still means that there are 1,000 good apps (to use your made up figure). Android doesn't even have that many apps total and it is also subject to the same ratio of good/bad. - JR Holmes

As many techno geeks as there are, there are far more Business moguls that will stay with the Global RIM products - CJ Sauk

Android will win cause it's open and free. Companies can compete all using Android and cause it'll have the best features and apps and be the fastest to implement on new hardware - Charbax

They have to beat RIM (Blackberry) first - CJ Sauk

RIM may own the corporate e-mail market for the next few years. There is a lot of inertia there. On a 5-year horizon, businesses may want to look at low cost alternatives. - JR Holmes

blackberry will use Android also eventually - Charbax

Ture, but cost only comes in on the Service Provider side. - CJ Sauk

Android will need a lot more work before that happens - CJ Sauk

Soon people will demand $100 smartphones that are totally unlocked and only require $20 per month data plans with competition on every level, from hardware to carrier - Charbax

Blackberry may hold out long enough in the business niche to be unable to make the transition to Android. They have little interest in the app market that iPhone and Android are building. Without that, they will be left behind. - JR Holmes

Android will make $100 unlocked smartphones with $20 data plans and free VOIP/IM happen faster than you think - Charbax

Blackberry App World... It's already there - CJ Sauk

Blackberry's app market is an afterthought. Just as Charbox said, there is a problem with the good/bad ratio everywhere. The few good apps on Blackberry aren't sufficient to make the marketplace good. - JR Holmes

App World already has all the (usable) apps that iPhone and Android have so there's no competition there - CJ Sauk

You made the point right there... All apps that are used "by the mass" are or will be available on all phones - CJ Sauk

Just like Extensions for browsers, the maker will always want to get everyone they can thus making their apps available on all products. - CJ Sauk

Looks like I got the last word. Bye all. - JR Holmes

Leo it's June 21st not 22nd. In your TWIT 200 intro you say June 22nd!!!!!!! - Konrad Farrugia

Konrad, that's cuz the podcast comes out tomorrow, not today... he said 'for june 22nd' - Chris Heath

But It Can Only Be Made With HTML CSS JAVASCRIPT - nanochrome

Palm should have built the app store for it sooner to make a better initial impact - Chris Miller

So, who wants to bet that even though Calacanis pushed the Arrington issue before the show, he'll bring it up again during the show. Arrington's a prick, apology or no... - James Britton

Thats called a payphone. - Tom Ryder

@Tom yes the Samsung - Chris Miller

HTML CSS Javascript is all you need for a phone app - Michael Benny

No - Gavin

@Cory Yes, but the listeners to the recorded podcast probably didn't hear about this. - Mister IQ

james it was already brought up, were you not watchin? - Chris Heath

It was all over digg - Scott Ohlemacher

Roy Pledge: I don't think they will release it. - Mister IQ

And everyone says it charges very slow - Tom Ryder

A "win" for Palm isn't killing the iPhone, it's just selling Pres as fast as they can make them. - Ken Sheppardson

"3" network phones in UK/Ireland all have front facing phones for video calling, US is so far behind on this feature - James Britton

The arrogant american mind. The pre is us only. Nobody outside the US gives a c*** - Jackson Pollock

Hi from the UK! - Najeeb Mirza

@Bryan Is is working now? - zephyrlily

The Pre will be a solid player in the market. - Jim Bednarz

Flinging a card up to close an app is very viceral on the pre - Michael Benny

Lindsay: No, i don't. They are already releasing Push Notifications. - Mister IQ

zephyrlily, but the comments don't look like the old style, correct? - Matthew

Apple will do multitasking after they figure out music subscriptions and a real right click - Michael Benny

Blackberry easily shows the apps running,but even with the Palm you will have to learn which slide closes, puts in backgrond or uses - Chris Miller

@lindsay doubt it, push notifications only - James Britton

when is the next iphone coming out? - Bruce Wagner

You can get Everything 450 with the Pre... $70 - Ken Sheppardson

I dont think so, I think I came on after that - zephyrlily

Can't understand why people like Blackberry's. BIS is horrible. - Andre D.

Canada gets the Pre later this year http://www.engadget.com/2009... - Ken Sheppardson

To Make It A Iphone Without A Phone - nanochrome

@Mike I think this is the older version - zephyrlily

So far, Palm Pre looks way better than Blackberry, I see it as 1. iPhone 2. Pre/WebOS 3. Blackberry 4. everyone else - James Britton

An iPod Touch with a camera would be awesome, then it can be used with all the camera apps on the app store - Matthew

"All we need is an open source iphone with a replaceable battery, multiple carriers, and a real slide-away keyboard." - Bruce Wagner

Matthew: probably not until September if it happens. Especially since the iPod event is in September. - Mister IQ

James: Where does andriod fit? - Jay McCormack

Bruce: thats a G1 - Roberto Bonini

what is the enterprise hook for palm pre? what sync app? activeSync? Push? - Chris Miller

Imagine webOS on iphone hardware - Jack

Mister IQ, last year they announced the new Touch in the summer, before it came out in September - Matthew

And A Mic In A Ipod Touch So Mic Apps All Work - nanochrome

My WinMo phone has an app to turn it into a wifi router - Michael Benny

I have a T-Mobile MDA and haven't upgraded because EDGE data is costing me $5 but if I got a new phone, it would be $25!, thats over $200 more per year! - Sean Flaherty

I'm sure we'll see webOS on different form factors withing 12 months... there's already a candybar in the works - Ken Sheppardson

@Jay throw Android in at number three (maybe tied with 2) and shove blackberry down - James Britton

Japan has HD video cell phones already! - Scott Hubble

Google gave out free phones at I/O - think Apple will do the same at WWDC? - Jesse Stay

Matthew: Still it may not be released until September by my guess. - Mister IQ

"apple has a tendency to make me drool" - Jay McCormack

how about a 3G macbook Air using a via cpu & ION platform - Michael Mooney

Mister IQ, I definitely agree with that - Matthew

it won't be a tablet either, it won't have a pen. - Jackson Pollock

@Ken Definitely. It makes no sense to switch over to Sprint. - Andre D.

Apple and a solid state tablet? - Chris Miller

Jesse: What plans did they 'give out' - Jay McCormack

Netbook???? - Roberto Bonini

Apple stone tablet - James Britton

what about the Crunch Tablet??????? - Matthew

Google gave out G2s with a pre-paid card - Ken Sheppardson

I think Jason C. is wrong, Apple is not going to release a Netbook - Akshay Dodeja

Jay, Google gave a month of free service with the phone for developers to play with. - Jesse Stay

no, they said that they were looking at it, but only for research - Jackson Pollock

The Crunchpad? - Greg Byrne

Apple will release a netbook, but it'll cost $1800 - Jay McCormack

netbooks are in their first year. apple never jumps on something that new. - Jackson Pollock

Apple TV in a TV? i doubt, but ok Calicanis... - Mister IQ

@matthew Arrington's not getting my money - James Britton

Perhaps our definateion of netbook is wrong. Jason explain what is the spec of Apple Netbook - Akshay Dodeja

I wish a CrucnchTablet! :D - Daynah

I agree..... A new revamped ATV is more likely - Roberto Bonini

It hadn't occured to me that Apple could do a *subsidized* small laptop... hm... - Ken Sheppardson

Crunch tablet looks good, and at $300 it would be a bargain, we'll see. - Matthew

I agree with Jay... - Daynah

James Britton: I still want a CrunchPad... - Mister IQ

why NETBOOKS SUCK - http://ff.im/3EMXY interesting take - Mike Bracco

I could never work on a netbook - Roberto Bonini

Jackson: That would be cool - Jay McCormack

Apple will never release a netbook with ATOM processor. - Akshay Dodeja

Is there a way to keep the twit.tv popout window always on top? - zephyrlily

zephyrlily: I use nvidia software to put any window on top - Jay McCormack

Apple Might Make a netbook but they will redefine what netbooks are - nanochrome

zephyrlily, you would probably have to have a separate app that does that for you - Matthew

Jackson Pollock: I hope it would have a full version of OS X. - Mister IQ

I think Apple might drop the price of AIR, the margins on - Akshay Dodeja

Steve hates pens and gloves and everything like that. They would never do a tablet with a pen, and never do a tablet without a pen, but with OSX. It will be a huge iPhone - Jackson Pollock

I tend to agree with Jeff Cannata about tablets, iPhone is a perfect size, just needs more power/storage/openness - James Britton

Would you read on a Kindle DX????? - Roberto Bonini

Yea for Man Purses! :D We can accessorize together. :) - Daynah

INET - nanochrome

Dear Jason, you know which platforms already have the turn-it-into-a-wifi-hotspot app you described? Windows Mobile and Symbian. For months. - Vlad Bobleanta

iBook - Jim Bednarz

tom's exactly right - Chris Heath

Mister IQ. They would never do that. if an engineer gave Steve a touchscreen devise that you have to hit a tiny little red x in a corner to exit an app, he would throw it out the window. It has to have a touchscreen OS. - Jackson Pollock

I'm so proud of them, they haven't mentioned twitter once! - Curtis

They're not going to release a Netbook unless there is some sort of developer focus. Remember this is a dev conference. - Jesse Stay

@Ken Thinking about it now, I've yet to see one in person. - 321

sorry not the chat itself, but the scrolling part. - Akshay Dodeja

Akshay: Try this view - http://friendfeed.com/twit-co... - Ken Sheppardson

Apple will never make anything with a pen or a hinge that you rotate. It breaks with every one of Dieter Rams' rules of good design. - Jackson Pollock

@ken that was really helpful. How do we find these embed links ourselves? - Lise

@Ken thanks! Much better! :) - Akshay Dodeja

@ken thanks - Jackson Pollock

kshep: oh thanks, that view is waaaay better. wish it was default. - Vlad Bobleanta

Leo should start a FF post for comments during WWDC for people @ WWDC to liveblog and others to chat. - Mister IQ

Lisa: Click on the entry timestamp once to get it by itself on a page, click on it again for a pop-out. - Ken Sheppardson

Leo your Twitter Calacanis.... [pic] Link leads to a File Not Found Error page - Erle Stride

correct me if wrong... but no one on the shows monitors this right? - Jay McCormack

Looks like Bing already lost its #2 spot to Yahoo: http://tcrn.ch/3K5 - Cory Roush

@ken thank you! - Lise

FriendFeed's a really slick way to live blog announcements. A room/group dedicated to WWDC would be slick - Ken Sheppardson

The creepy dancing Six Flags guy - Ken Sheppardson

Jason the digg blog that announced (http://blog.digg.com/?p=808) digg ads says "Conversely the more an ad is buried, the more the advertiser is charged, pricing it out of the system." - russtbarnacle

@Jesse, popout the twit.tv and put it next to your FF window - zephyrlily

zephyrlily I know how to do that - that's not what I was referring to. :-) - Jesse Stay

Jason is full of it, people will watch good ads... Superbowl anyone? - Roy Pledge

@jesse I'm sure when (if?) Wave comes out, Leo will do that. - Vlad Bobleanta

Bing takes over Yahoo, wihtout much effort. all advertising - Chris Miller

hehe - Roberto Bonini

yo friendfeed peeps - ralphsaunders

I am really surprised how good Bing is - Michael Mowery

These new ads on Digg are going to be annoying because Adblock won't be able to block them. - 321

What up Ralphy! - Hipp from IM

I use Bing to find blog images now - Jesse Stay

the map thing for bing is really hard to use - ralphsaunders

hi hipp :D - ralphsaunders

321, but they'll be just like another digg post and non-instrusive - Chris Heath

I been using Bing and its not bad - Kim Landwehr

I don't think Bing is doing well regionally beyond the US. i can't get the map stuff to work in Australia. - Jay McCormack

But Google Is Better And I Don't Like Going To Any Microsoft Site - nanochrome

Bing 's reign as Number 2 search engine ends after one day - @TechCrunch - http://bit.ly/sEHTW - Todd

bing = because it's not google or bing is not google - Holger Eilhard

Even if BING is great, what is the compelling reason to use anything other than Google which IS great and I am really comfortable with already? - Joel Asaro

I'm very impressed with Bing. I haven't used Google since Bing come out. - Joseph Ferris

Joel: Agreed... there's just not enough to move accross to it - Jay McCormack

That's the problem it good but there is nothing about Bing that makes people want to use it over Google - Kim Landwehr

The video preview is a thumbnail, how can Denise expect you to watch a video in a search result in total - Jay McCormack

Bing; how about not showing previews of short videos. problem solved - Roberto Bonini

True - nanochrome

how do they pull relevance - Chris Miller

Does bing do that for Youtube videos??? - Roberto Bonini

I Don't Think So - nanochrome

Bing beats out Yahoo, cuz it's the only pre-installed search on the new Explorer!! - Alex

well then mission accomplished - Lise

http://www.instantrimshot.com - Ken Sheppardson

This is the same issue over and over again. It's not the technology's responsibility to not watch inappropriate content (porn or violence or whatever). It's the parent's responsibility to instill the right values in the child. - Jay McCormack

And now we all know... - Jesse Stay

See! Leo has done a good job educating his kids to look at the right stuff - Jay McCormack

Where is everyone going for WWDC coverage? - Mister IQ

is WWDC going to be streamed, or will it only be for download after the fact - Matthew

@Chris That's true, but I would personally rather just see user-generated content without the advertising. At least Digg is doing it much better, as long as they clearly disclose what is advertisement, than banner ads and popups. - 321

Bing video search does show youtube videos - Kim Landwehr

@Master IQ: I'll be following MacRumors - nick

Poorngle - zephyrlily

Permitted content is tolerated different in each counrtry I visit fow work. makes intresting browsing - Chris Miller

Matthew: Only for download, unfortunatly. - Mister IQ

MacRumors... Assuming the feed doesn't egt hacked again - Roy Pledge

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1... - Adrian

they said it wa pulled and settled with the donatio. HE made no statement boutactually using twitter and actually RUNNINg his account - Chris Miller

Exactly - that case has already been lost in court. Tony needs a better lawyer. - Jesse Stay

Twitter starts verified accounts soon, problem solved. - Jay McCormack

actually it wasnt lost. Twitter didnt say "guilty" but settled already - Chris Miller

did Jason just screw up? - Jay McCormack

Quick MG! Word's out.. - Jesse Stay

Ooops Jason? LOL! - John

it is one of their monetization moves. fees for payment system - Chris Miller

Payment and Authentication for twitter is a good idea. - Jay McCormack

who becomes the digital banker? and what happenes when the twitter bank is down? - Chris Miller

who owns their name on twitter? their real full name? - Lise

sorry bank closed, twitter is down - Chris Miller

Chris: Fail whale becomes a MUCH bigger issue... right - Jay McCormack

I do - Cory Roush

Twitter is the banker, and gets a cut: business model - Greg Byrne

Would that be a Fail Safe? - Hipp from IM

ha - Chris Miller

Hard work... it's taken PayPal years to get it right - Jay McCormack

Exactly when did PayPal get it right? - Roy Pledge

LOL @ clinton and cigar. Did anyone get that? - Lise

Would be nice if they bring back their old features they took away because their infrastructure couldn't handle them before they try to add new ones. - Ken Sheppardson

Of the many payment options, it's easy, it works, it's international, it might be expensive, but it does work. - Jay McCormack

he didnt make any intention to even use or expand no the account, he just wanted it down - Chris Miller

yeah ken, but you and i know that's not a technical problem - Chris Heath

@Lise: I laughed, but then felt guilty because no one seemed to find it funny :P - Cory Roush

Have you ever tried to contact Twitter support? - Jesse Stay

@Ken I agree. I'm still upset about this whole @ reply feature - Lise

You have to have TechCrunch to write about it for them to listen that you are being impersonated. - Jesse Stay

@Cory I don't think anyone got it. lol - Lise

@Jesse: Yes, and it was one of the most frustrating processes I've ever went through. - Cory Roush

Facebook is the same - Jesse Stay

Bing is no longer the #2 search engine. http://www.techcrunch.com/2009... - Mister IQ

Couldn't Open ID help that? - Brian Allen

Didn't myspace have a process for this also? - Jay McCormack

so registering TherealLeo (like Dvorak did) makes it legit? hang on.. ok kidding - Chris Miller

We got our twitter account back, /sixflags - sean andersen

Today I was followed by a fake Paul Thurrott. Where is the "Report" button? - Greg Byrne

Tony didn't bring cupcakes. - Ken Sheppardson

Ken ROFL! - Jesse Stay

Tony La Russo's 501c3: It's NOT about adoptions; it's about DONATIONS. Donations might be affected by something like a Twitter account, especially in the future. - shelter watch

I guess this means Tony's not getting on the Featured users list - Jesse Stay

@JasonC you look cute as Maverick! I say keep the look. You don't need the cigar, though. - Lise

Lise: he needs a cap or something to finish the look - Jay McCormack

Bill Gates did talk about this at D5 tho, people forget - Jackson Pollock

Natal can recognize 48 points of motion compared to the PS3's 2, plus you know Natal will work with Windows 7 - Matthew

Natal combined with the new controller Sony showed would be pretty slick. - Ken Sheppardson

Felicia Day looks good with anything! :-P - Hipp from IM

watch the Bill Gates and Steve Jobs interview from D5. Bill talked about it and was laughed out because people thought he meant the Wii interface - Jackson Pollock

Shane Kim said that releasing Natal in the spring would be "aggressive". So they still have a year or more to work on it. - Matthew

no, the eyetoy is not the same as Natal - Matthew

Using the newer tech like this in an arcade environment with a wrap-around screen would be interesting - Ken Sheppardson

That new PS3 controller demo Sony did was sweet! - Scott Hubble

here's a video of the company MS acquired to work on Project Natal..... http://gear.ign.com/dor... - Matthew

How long after release will it take for some Sicko to make Milo Naked - Erle Stride

it's a video of their Z-Cam - Matthew

The press has completely missed the navigation piece of Natal...did you see the minority report style menu conteol and the voice control of teh video playback? - Rob

Wii's just integrating acceleration to get position. The Sony controller actually measures the position of the controller, doesn't it? - Ken Sheppardson

I want 3D games with those controllers - Jesse Stay

MS will put Natal on Windows as well, so Minority Report type interface is possible when this comes out - Matthew

Lindsay: All chats on FriendFeed are real time. - Nicholas James

what if they added skype to xbox using natal - Michael Mooney

Time to resurrect VRML :-) - Ken Sheppardson

DS can add a "motion pack" in its second slot, acts as one. - Denise Howell

If you type in Twitter the Fail Whale comes up - Jesse Stay

Is Scribblenauts for DS and DSi or just DSi? - Mister IQ

The new DS only has one slot, no GBA slot - Matthew

the DSi - Matthew

I haven't bought DS games since I've had the iTouch - zephyrlily

I love my iPod Touch, it is my first apple product - Matthew

Ah... gotcha - Ken Sheppardson

You know what drives me mad! "Fall 09" as a release date. Just watched the scribblenauts video, says available Fall 09. 1: Fall = Autumn for me, 2: When is Autumn? Each hemisphere has autumn at different times of the year! Argghhhhh! - Jay McCormack

"Fall" = Q4, IMHO - Ken Sheppardson

jay McCormack, it means it will be available for the holidays - Matthew

Matthew... again a problem. We have "holidays" throughout the year here. - Jay McCormack

christmas time - Matthew

it's a terminology thing: How hard is it to say Q4 2009. - Jay McCormack

winter usually means early 2010, or whatever the case may be - Matthew

You see my winter starts in April - Jay McCormack

Yeah, but yours is wrong, Jay. - Ken Sheppardson

i 'can' work it out, but it yet another US centric thing - Jay McCormack

It's broken. - Ken Sheppardson

tom sets the record straight - Chris Heath

jay q1 is winter january, feb, march - Chris Heath

Via Kiwinerd: Leo Screw You Ringtone: http://bit.ly/RLPox - Mister IQ

Leo, the newest dashboard for the Xbox (NXE) lets you install your games to the hard drive, and it barely makes a sound. The fans don't make that much noise, it's the DVD drive that makes all the sound due to wanting short load times - Matthew

The streaming HD on the TiVo Netflix interface is beautiful! - Aaron T. Harvey

I think that ringtone should have Keyboard Cat as a backing track instead. - Ken Sheppardson

[Quick Poll] Does it make sense to create an "A-list" group on FF just as people assembled a list of "A-list" group of bloggers? What would happen to the dynamics of the site if people only interacted with the "A-list"? Would that promote or inhibit interactions between people?

Brad - do you use filters to separate out people's posts? - LPH™ and his dog P™

The Top 10 which used to be on the old version and I think will eventually be coming to this version didn't affect the interactions on FriendFeed. I don't think it will if you created that list either ;) - Nicholas James

My list (if anyone cares) is divided fairly easily -- everyone, family, twitter only, spammers, Linux, and Windows 7 ... - LPH™ and his dog P™

By profession or "tag" of the working force terms or simply passion of. (i.e. lolkatz to SXSW advocate) but mechanically, I you're feeling good about yourself, despite some who can in fact develop anger through those same interactions, then you're good for a follow everyone, and if they get it at the same time, they get it. - ElijahBailey-Zu of FF <0,

It would be sad for me to interact with the A list only, I would miss many people who have great things to say. I think it would be diminishing of the overall conversations that we have. But I can see where the list would be good for people just starting up. A "A list" per industry would serve a great purpose in many ways. - Dan Morrill AKA Techwag

Dan: I only interact with the A list. Funny, I'm following eeryone here so you must all be on the A list. - Robert Scoble

Due to the nature of FOAF there wouldn't be a lot of isolation. That said, as a member of the D list I wouldn't feel that great about it :) - jcunwired

How about groups of people with expert knowledge in certain topic areas? These people could post interesting articles and conduct conversation around these areas... sort of like how newspapers should be. Engage your audience with interesting topics and with experts who know what they are commenting on. - David Damore

The nature of social interaction is to reach out beyond your peer group and circle of interests. How do you know that the group contains everyone with that expert knowledge? FF works because you can create your own groups, and keep an eye on the community for those who interest you. - jcunwired

I have almost everyone in my home feed, but also divide up into professions, twitter friends, etc., so lots of people are in several lists. And since his discussions are usually so active, I even have Robert Scoble in a list of his own. - Sharon McPherson

People create their own "A" lists. - Melissa

I use FriendFeed primarily to interact and find out all about my a-list friends. Everyone else that wants to connect with me that I "know" from Twitter et al goes into another group. Why? I'm not so sure I need to know every little thing about the people that aren't so close to me. - Damien Basile

Instead of imaginary friends, we have custom feeds/groups now. Click the Groups title in the right-hand side bar, and then "Create a Group". Make a private group (if you want the closest match to the old "imaginary friends" setup), and import the service into that group. You can put all your "imaginary friends" into one group, too, which is convenient. I go one step further and make a list which contains my IF group for webcomics and blogs, and a few other subscriptions for things like the The Onion group. - Karl Knechtel

Dollhouse: Stephen Mack

Dollhouse 4/24 ("Haunted") -- I really liked the murder mystery plot, and thought Eliza did some of her best acting in the series to date. Overall, solid episode that really developed the theme of Dollhouse further. And I liked Topher for the first time.

I agree that it was some of Eliza's best acting (not an overly high bar, though)... as an episode, I thought it was just ok. The topher story was sweet. And the Helo story, man, I love that situation - it's so freaking messed up. But as a standalone ep, you know, it was just ok. - felix

If all they had was the murder mystery, I'd have been very happy with the episode. The situation was a great set up, and totally unique to the Dollhouse concept. This couldn't have been an episode of any other series. - Stephen Mack

Don't get me wrong, I liked the show (and I really like the series), but that plotline still felt a little old to me - I feel like I've seen the quietly investigating the death of the rich person to see who gets the money. Sure, it had a little twist, but it didn't really feel all that twisty. :) I was much more interested in the other storylines going on. :) - felix

felix is right on. The plot has been done too many times. Topher's storyline saved the episode for me. - Joseph Ferris

Wolverine from me! - Simon Wicks

The better question is how would Conan even attempt to kill Wolverine? - Matthew

I'm sure it would be an epic battle all the way! - Fee501st

So you're asking if a man who has healing power and claws that can slice through a steel girder could beat a muscled up dude with a sword. Yeah, I'm going with Wolverine. - Fleagle

Hugh Jackman vs Mr. Universe? Case closed. - Patrick Pu

i see it this way: new tough guy vs old tough guy... both are great (in their prime) ... maybe one day Jackman will be President, or at least the Adamantium Goveror? - Chris Heath

Curious: Do you back up your twitter history? Why or why not? What (if anything) would be lost if it all disappeared? http://beta.friendfeed.com/axispor...

Is there a way to back it up ? - Kashif Khan

6 more comments

Yes, there are several. Here's one service: http://tweetake.com/ I don't know how many folks actually do this though, so I wonder. I'm guessing the social tech gurus would definitely want to make that move. - Kathy Fitch

Interesting, didn't know about that. - Kashif Khan

thanks! Didn't know this was possible. The normal Twitter via web has a clunky way of seeing your history and needs something more intuitive. The question now is: If you back it up, can you restore? - Glenn Batuyong

I think restoration is a bit more of a problem, based on the FAQs here: http://tweetbackup.com/ I'm hoping we can find someone who has actually used one of these services to chime in on what all they can and can't do. - Kathy Fitch

FriendFeed is the backup :) To restore your tweets back to Twitter, do a search filtered by your username and the twitter service, e.g. "from: axisportals service:twitter", scroll down, get the RSS feed URL and pass that to something like twitterfeed. - Edmund Tay

Nope, it's all available in search if I need it. I don't feel it's important enough to back up. - Kol Tregaskes

No. I have FriendFeed. - Joseph Ferris

Hulu is making money Leo - Jamie

hulu = NBC + Fox, right? - Ken Sheppardson

yes Ken - Gunny doesn't side-hug™

Hey this is a pretty good idea for commenting. What is this? Friendfeed? - Tokyo Dan

yep - Nick

Yes, Dan - Ken Sheppardson

welcome to friendfeed Tokyo Dan - Gunny doesn't side-hug™

the question is whether its making enough money to cover the increase in losses due to torrenting - Jamie

Whoa. On the main page? - Lise

I wish Hulu had more content and less restrictions, though its more the networks than Hulu. If all of BSG (mini-series to season 4) was on Hulu you wouldn't see me for a week - Daniel

just testing friendfeed - Matthew

twit 23: http://twit.tv/23 - Chris Heath

The UK doesn't need a hulu thing. bbci player... channel 4 after player (even if it does need to be improved). - ralphsaunders

and Id watch full ads as well - Daniel

@ralph project kangaroo would have been great... especially with Hulu integration (which was rumoured) - Jamie

target advertising - Daniel

I'd like Hulu more if they'd quit messing with methods of getting to my TV rather than my computer scren - Gunny doesn't side-hug™

if hulu is not making money then there is no hope for iptv - Zach Scott

Loving Bitgravity, would be awesome if they made an Android+iPhone compatible stream. - Martin Eberhardt

loving the kshep TwiT hybrid - Steve Gillmor

Ralph - there are several shows on hulu that I would like to watch that take ages to come over the UK - Iain

I guess Leo stopped using the Stickam comment system. - Tokyo Dan

Hulu needs to realize a screen is a screen, and it doesn't matter what device is feeding it. - Ken Sheppardson

@Jamie I haven't heard of project Kangaroo.. but judging by the tense you used its no longer about? - ralphsaunders

Friendfeed integration on live.twit.tv is great - Rod Bauer

Hulu is the future, eventually data will be a utility for me to do with what I please and I will watch what I want and when I want to watch it - Daniel

@lain what heroes? or...? - ralphsaunders

tokyo dan, the stickam conversation is still happening on stickam, leo sees it on one of the laptops - Chris Heath

TV advertising down 6% in the UK... Internet up 17% but thats mainly due to search. Display advertising is pretty flat. - Jamie

Heroes, House etc - Iain

Sheppardson > Hulu isn't the ones who want to restrict it. It's the content providers. - Martin Eberhardt

Martin: Whoever it is needs to get clued in :-) - Ken Sheppardson

------AD BREAK AUDIBLE.COM------ - Chris Heath

TWiT looks much better on BitGravity - C.B.

I can hear Calacanis from MAssachusetts..."Auuuudddibblllee..." - Daniel

I see two TWIT.tv threads on FF. - Tokyo Dan

@ralph it was shut down by the comeptition commission. it was essentially a collaboration between the BBC, Channel 4 and ITV... and the CC ruled that it would stifle competition in video content creation - Jamie

http://audible.com/twit2 - Chris Heath

I thought heroes was out on BBCi within an hour it was aired in the UK... i think thats down to the people who produce heroes - ralphsaunders

tokyo dan ... this is the official: http://beta.friendfeed.com/list... - Chris Heath

twacker hitted - Matthew

Ralph - I'm impatient though as it is a few weeks behind - Iain

same with Lost - Iain

Heroes is on BBC iplayer on the 'net, but not on iplayer via cable tv. It's bizarre - Ghworg

<3 Audible. listening to "On the Origin of Species", read by Richard Dawkins, at the moment. loving it. http://bit.ly/QSBOn - Martin Eberhardt

@Jamie, damn that sucks. Would of been cool - ralphsaunders

Hmm... with embedded FF entry, if you float over a username you get a pop-up, but it doesn't fit in the iframe. :-/ - Ken Sheppardson

sounds..... delicious.... I'll be here all week folks - Daniel

BBC don't have the rights for on demand Heroes via a set top box ghworg - Jamie

every place you want to view content requires a separate rights license - Jamie

Yeah the FF integration is very interesting. It makes the episodes searchable. - nautic3l

I love Splendid Table - bill giltner

How is this live FF stream with only comments on TWIT being done? - Tokyo Dan

@lain is it really 3 weeks? damn - ralphsaunders

Think it's 3 - could be wrong though Ralph - Iain

im so jealous.. lol - jplusa

Tokyo: Leo creates an entry on FF for each show. That entry's embedded on live.twit.tv in an iframe. - Ken Sheppardson

cool - Tokyo Dan

But I'm trying to see it on the FF site. - Tokyo Dan

http://beta.friendfeed.com/twit-co... - Ken Sheppardson

Red Dwarf jumped the shark a little bit. - Matt Leifer

ff needs a comment button at the bottom of the feed when it is open - Zach Scott

@tokyo click the time stamp underneath the entry - Jamie

which is better 1080 p or 1080i - ralphsaunders

Tokyo - click the time stamp and you get only this conversation - Iain

@ralphsaunders 1080p - Martin Eberhardt

keep on clicking - Sander

Such a bummer. I cn't get on the live stram - Francine Hardaway

Ah i always forget, cheers @Martin - ralphsaunders

1080i is 720p in disguise - Martin Eberhardt

Yeah :P - ralphsaunders

@ralphsaunders: 1080p. - Daniel Rowley

Red Dwarf jumped the shark, it killed the shark great show - jackygreen

wow... ustream ~10+ sec ahead of bitgravity?? - Ken Sheppardson

is it just me or is twit.tv down friends:pollock - Jackson Pollock

just you - Iain

is there anyway to comment when you have real time pop up opened? - Matthew

Matthew: just scroll to the bottom. Comment box should always be there. - Ken Sheppardson

If I worked at MS I'd be in the pub a lot too - Ghworg

Just combine Pub & Gun Club to save money. - Ken Sheppardson

Wasn't RD filmed using RED hardware?: http://www.red.com/cameras/ - Daniel Rowley

The Pun Club could be amusing - Iain

Its teh cable companies! :P - ralphsaunders

fire ants? - Daniel

np - jackygreen

there isn't one in the popup, but there is one on the regular page. oh well - Matthew

the T word, no! - Daniel

It went down right after I clicked this link "http://beta.friendfeed.com/twi... - Ken Sheppardson " It brought the whole FF site up in that little comment window. - Tokyo Dan

those pirates - Daniel

hah. wil has the "crazy americans, always think terrorists are everywhere" -look on him. crazy yanks - Jackson Pollock

any backdrop/link to this story? I have no idea what they are talking about. - Jamie

Stopping people getting on the internet doesn't really cause "terror" though does it? - Ghworg

Lots of business relies on it - Iain

for the California crowd, it sure does - Daniel

They cut fiber. It's not just internet. Took down 911 service as well. - Ken Sheppardson

Story - http://www.mercurynews.com/topstor... - heyburt

weld ht e manhole covers shut ;-) - Greg

that would be poor design - Daniel

Ah, taking out 911 is more terrorism-ish. Didn't know that - Ghworg

John Connor was stopping skynet. Your Welcome California! - Daniel

well, doesn't affect cell phones - Jackson Pollock

Harden the internets? - Steve Durgin

Don't click on links in this window cause the website will come up in this little window. - Tokyo Dan

A ship can drop anchor in the wrong spot and take out a cable - Steve Durgin

nooo - Sander

Interesting that its most recently that we've been seeing more news on this sort of thing. Between the malware in the power grid, these fiber sabatoges, and the Chinese GhostNet (Security Now had a great ep on it), its certainly been an interesting cluster of seemingly related events. - Curtis Schweitzer

you got a Solid Snake stache - Matthew

Do the MAE-West/Central/East exchanges still serve as the critical aggregation that they used to? - Ken Sheppardson

Well everything can be disabled since you can not guard all of the infrastructure - Greg

the internet is more cobweb then web - Daniel

nice! i could see me noo on live.twit :) alright alright i know aim silly - Sander

my cousin mikie! - Daniel

"Mikeyy, he'll hack anything" - Matthew

:) NoScript - Sander

Clearly the terrorists are after Twitter too ;) - Curtis Schweitzer

thanks to Steve Gibson, tip of the hat =) - Sander

that's leo's standard pre-puberty voice tho - Jackson Pollock

Noscript doesn't help if you use twitter, because you will have enabled js for twitter is you use it regularly - Ghworg

Ya twitter is a critical part of the internet according to Leo - Greg

i was borred =) so ..... - Sander

He's a child. - Francine Hardaway

I think IE8 is ahead of the other browsers here in respect to anti-XSS - Jamie

"An open letter to the FBI..." - Ken Sheppardson

omg:p - Sander

knock knock.. - Greg

He might be brighter than you think...If he didn't do it! - pmclem

be careful making fun of a kid who hacked twitter - Matthew

who's there?? - Sander

who's there? - Steve Durgin

Ice cream soda - Ken Sheppardson

FBI is Mikey there - Greg

micky!!! - Sander

Snake? - ralphsaunders

/me has totally lost confidence in twitter... i'm done with it... only send to it from friendfeed now - Chris Heath

Snake ! ! ! - Matthew

FBI @Greg yeah we have him :) - Sander

SNAAAAAAAKE?! - ralphsaunders

he's getting early to bed this week - Sander

lol - ralphsaunders

Why would he admit to it? He's a minor and knows full-well that he's going to get nothing more than slap on the wrist. - Phil Essing

lets ddos him :) - Sander

h - Dan Moutal

ya - Greg

hey leo, maybe he's german - Jackson Pollock

If friendfeed had a way to automatically make imaginary friends for all your twiiter contacts that aren't on FF then I'd probably stop going to twitter. - Ghworg

someone here has to hack the confiker bot net and then ddos micky :p - Sander

ghworg, you can, but have to add the feeds manually too it - Chris Heath

agreed ghworg. or at least simply implement a full client access into the site. so that all of your tweets come into FF. - Jamie

I hear the sound of lawyer, writing down everything that John just said - Kim Landwehr

a way to fight terms of service - people have wanted to do this for awhile haven't they? - Xenophrenia

Real time rocks. - Wo

it's standard phising. did it in high school and got everybody's itslearning accounts. basically just edit all the /dir/dir/ to http://twitter.com/dir/dir in the code and implement it. change the user and password boxes scripts to save input and then redirect to twitter.com, - Jackson Pollock

hey, that's real name - Jackson Pollock

If you can read this, send help! I'm trapped inside FriendFeed Beta and it's hungry! - Daniel

lets see, what we can find in the code - Sander

i'm from wyoming - Jackson Pollock

cody - Jackson Pollock

I think the Terms of Service contract, if it gave permission to hack, would be void as against public policy. - Michael

so you arent' the real jackson pollock? - ralphsaunders

Cool. My text was shown on twit. - Wo

ralph; en.wikipedia.org/Jackson_Pollock think again. - Jackson Pollock

that would be tough, as the real JP is dead - Phil Essing

phil; yeah, there's the small hole in the whole thing - Jackson Pollock

throwing paint at a wall has never been the same since - Phil Essing

is it not a problem that the api of twitter is so open? I mean cant they do something about it? like first mail to them and then have acces to the api?? - Sander

phil; don't disrespect. pollock was arguably the best american artist of the 20th century. - Jackson Pollock

next story: http://online.wsj.com/article... - Chris Heath

When I was in college we didn't have 100MB didn't exist :-/ - Ken Sheppardson

@JP and @PE I was about to say... - ralphsaunders

Emperor Jobbs. - Daniel

lol - Iain

The more you tighten your grip the more customers will slip through your fingers. - Ghworg

i would agree that he was arguably the best artist of the 20th century... and I would be on the side of the argument that says he was not - Phil Essing

i was waiting for that. - Jeremy Robbins

sure jobs still is ni power posituion - Sander

phil; good we have an expert like you here to straighten us out - Jackson Pollock

well, yes, i am an expert on the topic of my own taste in art - Phil Essing

@jackson pollock I can ping it but can't get through on HTTP, so I think the Web server (Apache?) is down. - Michael

I'm loving the FF bit gravity mashup! - Gunny doesn't side-hug™

"BREAKING NEWS: Steve Jobs continues to do exactly what he said he was going to do while on medical leave. MUST CREDIT WSJ." - lol @ Gruber. Perfectly put. - Jamie

It wasn't an official statement about Jobs. It was a leak - Keith Makuck

Oh, twit.tv just came back for me. - Michael

Can't be sued for something someone said you said. - Keith Makuck

Apple *is* evil - Ghworg

phil; well, someone educated on the issue would have an argument about him and 3-4 others, not write him off immediately - Jackson Pollock

Apple may be evil, but it's OUR evil - Daniel

In the future there will be no need to login every site you go to... we will not need passwords - jplusa

they just saying, yeah steve is back, but he isnt :) just for the stock - Sander

FF Real time stream in the same window as TWIT is really cool. - Wo

leo needs 1password - Gunny doesn't side-hug™

michael; same here. wait long enough and you'll get text no css - Jackson Pollock

google news wired news story about jobs link leo: http://blog.wired.com/busines... - Chris Heath

Steve is coming back. This is my prediction. - Wo

I agree with Cris - Jamie

This is like a chat room! - Mike Vierow

ind BitGravity is a bit slower, the stream is more buffering - Sander

But it's higher quality. - Mike Vierow

I genuinely believe he just needed time off to recover. but its no more serious than that. - Jamie

go to ustream - Terrence Hudgen

cool hé! like twitter but more like a chat - Sander

Apple makes more money with Jobs as the face - Matthew

Apple will throw in a surprise, Bill Gates will come in instead of SJ - Daniel

From the same fantastic sources that declared him dead five months ago... - Jack Zimmermann

ustream doesn't have this live friendfeed thing. - Mike Vierow

Like Fidel, Jobs will pass Apple to is less evil brother... :) - Fernando

now aim on the irc the live and here :) - Sander

thank god i have a fiew monitors :) - Sander

This is better than IRC. - Mike Vierow

If Jobs doesn't come back Steve Gillmor should run apple. - Wo

you can get that by it self at friend feed. - Jeremy Robbins

On an unrelated note, I'm bummed since FF threads are no longer real-time for me :( - Bwana ☠

Bwana, why aren't they real-time for you? - Matthew

mike, one thing irc has is tab-complete... wish i had that here - Chris Heath

I see Leo is holding a longboard skateboard on his ustream show info panel - Leo is radical - heyburt

What would we use tabs for here? - Mike Vierow

FF + Ustream compact-mashup: http://bit.ly/yDp1p - Martin Eberhardt

If Jobs doesn't go back, Kevin Rose should take over - Harvey Birdman

Tab-complete would be excellent. Not sure it is technically possible though - Ghworg

mike, in IRC you can tab-complete user names so you don't have to type them out fully and reduce the typo factor - Chris Heath

Gillmor - Wo

I'm telling you Jobs is working on the iPub for the Apple campus, Schilller Shots and Jonathan Ive is almost finished crafting the iPint Glass - Lewis

yeah ghworg, but i can still wish for it - Chris Heath

and the dance between yahoo and microsoft starts again, its like a soap opera that never ends - Kim Landwehr

Steve or no Steve. The person running the actual strategy and product development; the identity of Apple, is Jonathan Ive. Steve's entire success can be traced back to Ive' strategy and methodology. Steve and Jony talk once a day. He introduced Apple to the few products - fewer products that has been so successful. As an industrial designer, he changed the way Steve looked at products, materials, process. The white plastic cover of the Ipod, the scroll wheel click, the aluminium unibody. - Jackson Pollock

Beats me Matthew, one day they were, and then the next they weren't. I have to manually refresh threads now. - Bwana ☠

its all about the search market share - Jamie

yahoo gives MS another 10% - Jamie

Isn't Yahoo Search Google anyway? - Ben Gold

Bwana: Is your pause icon a little triangle or two vertical lines? ;-) - Ken Sheppardson

that's weird, I've got the real-time thread for TWiT open in a mini window - Matthew

Bwana: Look to the right of the screen and make sure Real-time is in bold and Standard is a link. - Michael

@Ben nop:) not the same - Sander

bwana: http://beta.friendfeed.com/twit-co... - Jackson Pollock

embed doesn't do pausing - ralphsaunders

Ken, I'm on the thread. No pause icon :) - Bwana ☠

Yes, I'm here - http://beta.friendfeed.com/twit-co... - Bwana ☠

Microsoft should acquire Yahoo...merge with Time Warner...run all online growth under TIME brand...Microsoft and Yahoo focus on Tech and Time Warner focus on content and style... THE front window of the future...imho - Jan Simmonds

Is the rest of Twit.Tv acting slow for anyone? - Mike Vierow

Bwana: If you're paused on the main site, i'll bet everything pauses - Ken Sheppardson

So let me refresh to see what you all said. - Bwana ☠

mike: yes; - Jackson Pollock

TWIT GOT TWITTED! - Mike Vierow

Ken - I'm not paused - Bwana ☠

@leolaporte: Jason Calacanis wants to join in. See his Twitter... - Holger Eilhard

------AD BREAK http://squarespace.com/twit ------ - Chris Heath

holger; quiet - Jackson Pollock

lol - Holger Eilhard

just kidding, john and jason don't go very well together. - Jackson Pollock

I skip the ads in the podcast. - Mike Vierow

Jeez... something leaking like a sieve in FireFox... mem is through the roof (243M and counting) BG player? - Ken Sheppardson

Holger: But Calacanis and Dvorak don't get along... - Michael

Do you have to be subscribed? - pmclem

I know, I know... - Holger Eilhard

the ads aren't too bad most of the time though cause it’s the gang talking about ti most of the time and it makes it interesting and involving. - Daniel

My firefox is at 310 MB, with no BG - Matthew

Did someone say balmer? - http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3084... - ralphsaunders

and we are done with the Audible ad... - Holger Eilhard

funny this ad is going on. considering twit.tv is down - Jackson Pollock

my firefox is at 236 MB on OS X with BG - Gunny doesn't side-hug™

hmm - ralphsaunders

Speaking of Digg - any chance of a discussion re. Diggbar? - Frank

Jackson Pollock> I don't think twit.tv is running in squarespace... leoville does - Martin Eberhardt

That's way too soon. - Mike Vierow

diggbar should be interesting... - Holger Eilhard

Before - ralphsaunders

Palm have to get out before the iPhone - Jamie

otherwise it will cut off its air supply. - Jamie

Funny video shows a toddler that loves the iPhone... http://bit.ly/4l7b6 - Matthew

jamie, agreed - Holger Eilhard

They'll release it as soon as they can get it ready. They're not gaming the release data around iPhone. - Ken Sheppardson

I popped my sim card in my blackberry pearl and my nokia e61... felt like I traveled back in time :) - Bwana ☠

those 1st Gen iPhone users are coming to the end of their contracts in June. Its Palms best chance - Jamie

ken, i use the twitlive air app (still on stickam) ... i've been nonplussed by the bg player so far - Chris Heath

Howard Stern was granted a private viewing with Palm of the Pre. For an hour and a half he used it, and then passed on it for a Blackberry. He did get the impression that it would be coming out in May, but not worth waiting. - Jackson Pollock

What's the point? They're all to expensive for me anyway. - Mike Vierow

Jackson: What I heard was as soon as he found out the Pre won't support Lotus Notes (which he needs) he punted. - Ken Sheppardson

whats the price for the pre? - ralphsaunders

looks like the Palm Pre will come out at a $199 pricepoint - Gunny doesn't side-hug™

or suspected price - ralphsaunders

ralph: not announced - Ken Sheppardson

see $199 is not bad - ralphsaunders

*hugs BlackBerry Storm* - Andrew

Howard Stern got a Blackberry because he uses Lotus Notes and niether the Palm Pre or iPhone have great Lotus notes support compared to the Blackberry - Matthew

ralphsaunders: for most probably the "it's not an iphone"... - Holger Eilhard

;) - Holger Eilhard

blackberry are finished imo - Jamie

Ken; that wasn't it. it just didn't do anything special. iphone has the browser, the podcasting. Blackberry the lotus notes and the keyboard. The Pre really didn't have anything. - Jackson Pollock

LOL - Bwana ☠

You cannot resist the iPhone. Join us, give in to your hatred! - Daniel

Dvorak cracks me up - Bwana ☠

looks like @jasoncalacanis is trying to get in touch with @LeoLaporte - Kim Landwehr

@holger tbh I hate the iphone keyboard >< - ralphsaunders

I have sprint SERO so I am very interested in the Pre - Gunny doesn't side-hug™

Where's Dvorak? - Mike Vierow

basting. - Gunny doesn't side-hug™

:p - Gunny doesn't side-hug™

i'm pleased w/ the iphone keyboard/touch - Chris Heath

One phone won't save an entire company. Too little too late. - Jackson Pollock

@ralphsaunders I'm fine with the on screen keyboard, but I can understand people who aren't. - Holger Eilhard

fiend feed "chat" huh? - clewellyn

Trust in the steve? wtf is this - ralphsaunders

I look at the Pre and think - the keyboard is too small. - Jamie

Ive is working on on-screen vibration to give feedback to your fingers. Matter of time. - Jackson Pollock

Sounds like Suretype :) - Bwana ☠

at least with the iPhone it figures out what I wanted to type - Jamie

@holger yeah its preference i guess. - ralphsaunders

It's funny how you can pick out people preconceptions and biases as they speculate with absolutely no real info whatsoever. - Ken Sheppardson

i trust in steve and that happens all the time... i never thought of it that way, but it does work - Chris Heath

I'm looking forward to the Pre in the hope it means I get a choice to make when I am ready to change my iphone - Iain

I hate refreshing..going to irc - Bwana ☠

@ralphsaunders the apps, overall ease of use, etc. are more important than a physical keyboard for me... - Holger Eilhard

The pre is all about the web, the idea is to sync with the cloud not the desktop. A bad idea in my opinion, but we'll see - Ghworg

let's be honest. what made the iphone more successful than the others; 1. the design and interaction. 2. the brand and buzz. 3. the marketing and news - Jackson Pollock

what is the delicious url for this show? - Xenophrenia

i'm hoping that android will be mature in a year and a half when my iphone contract is up... i'll check in on the phone wars then and no sooner - Chris Heath

bwana your refreshing? - ralphsaunders

i don't think copy/paste in iphone 3.0 is a coincedence... i think the imminent Pre forced Apple's hand - Phil Essing

If TWC caps me that badly, I'll buy a air card - Chad Albert

He said earlier that if you watched twit live 24/7 for a month, it would only be 174GB. - Mike Vierow

$150 is ridiculous. - archaictree

Carbonite would have an issue with a 50 gb cap - Chad Albert

I think the key word is reasonable, I am not sure cable companies know what reasonable - Kim Landwehr

174gb great i leave my computer on - Kiel Walker

here's an article of legislation to prohibit these companies from doing this http://digg.com/tech_ne... - Xenophrenia

The cable companies are like crack dealers....get you hooked on the internet, then jack up the rates - Chad Albert

Limits cause people to be more conservative in their usage. They will be less likely to try new things, like streaming video. - Ghworg

they are trying to protect their cable tv and prohibit online tv and video - Xenophrenia

Sure this isn't just a ploy to get people to lock down their Wifi? - Jackson Pollock

router firmware is the place to put the meter... or even better on the cable modem... then you could check on your account page for the isp - Chris Heath

$75 bucks a month is a better price for the top tier. - archaictree

calm down - ralphsaunders

I remember listening to them at the time. literally recall when John first said he gets no spam and I think Leo just died laughing - Jamie

My dad told me he got no spam and then i showed him his spam box :P - ralphsaunders

Jamie; it was a Steve Gibson - John thing. Steve turned off HTML emails and John yelled at him, saying he got NO SPAM what so ever, with HTML. Steve and John work fantastic together - Jackson Pollock

yeah John said he had this setup from a friend right? - Jamie

final cut pro is heavy duty - ralphsaunders

Jamie; he sends his email and runs his websites on a site called ComputerTime.com if I remember. Mark something - Jackson Pollock

had to go be a parent for a while what did I miss? - Gunny doesn't side-hug™

That is a loud box Leo - Jackson Pollock

and im stuck with a 4 year old laptop that hardly runs photoshop >< - ralphsaunders

Final Cut Pro a great tool - Kiel Walker

I <<< Student <3 - ralphsaunders

There's lots of good open source stuff out there, no need to pirate for the majority of the time nowadays. - Eric Florenzano

are they gonna use BoinxTV for their show? - Gunny doesn't side-hug™

Photoshop is design industry standard... its kinda an exception - ralphsaunders

ralphsaunders: Yeah, photoshop and final cut are both exceptions. - Eric Florenzano

final cut is mac only right? - ralphsaunders

people might have my head but I believe Office is an exception too - Jamie

ralph; yes - Jackson Pollock

ralph: Yeah, but substitute Premiere Pro for Final Cut on the Windows side. - Eric Florenzano

Damn you apple! *shakes fist* >< - ralphsaunders

Premiere Pro.... hmm - ralphsaunders

ralph; get a mac - Jackson Pollock

Got some spare money? - ralphsaunders

:P - ralphsaunders

Queue it up - Ken Sheppardson

ah premiere pro is adobe software :D - ralphsaunders

14% student discount at the Apple store - Jamie

I think I have £20 in my box :P - ralphsaunders

ralph; sell your pc. if you want to run a program like final cut, a cheap pc won't work. apple is expensive yes, but thats what's needed 90% of the time - Jackson Pollock

lol @ the Computer Answer Man - Jamie

Ha! That computer video is classic. - Eric Florenzano

uhhhhh that needs to be Leo's avatar - Chad DeHaan

I would build my own PC... I'm not stupid :D. But the Apple side of things I think is a bit much for me. It will probably go on a student loan when i go to uni - ralphsaunders

LEO: AVATAR - Ken Sheppardson

hackintosh ralph hackintosh - Gunny doesn't side-hug™

It looks like 1-800-BASH-LEO - Jesse Stay

He looks older in that pic than he does now. But yeah, that needs to be his avatar. - Eric Florenzano

yes ken, yes! - Chris Heath

I agree Eric... hes "aged" well - Jamie

Nah I wanna go clean from Uni onwards G - ralphsaunders

(Chris DeHaan's idea :-) - Ken Sheppardson

Gunther, no no no no. you'll be disgusted by final cut forever if you try to do it on a non-mac. - Jackson Pollock

lol that sounded kinda gangster "g" :P - ralphsaunders

except for EFI, you can build a non mac identical to Apple Hardware - Gunny doesn't side-hug™

You look like a male model - Jackson Pollock

I have a Mac, AND a hackintosh - Gunny doesn't side-hug™

uni has left me £18k in debt :-( - student loan repayments start this month - Jamie

http://i44.tinypic.com/2crucz4... - Ken Sheppardson

Jamie I thought you didn' - ralphsaunders

crap - ralphsaunders

I thought you didn't have to pay it off till u started earning above a certain amoutn - ralphsaunders

Gunther; until you want to update it; then you have to format. It's cool in theory, but it does not work. Every update breaks your OS. 10.5 is one download, 10.5.1 is one, and so on. you have to tailor the build for each version. doesn't work - Jackson Pollock

walt they're going to talk about the diggbar next week - Chris Heath

they give you a year... then if you earn above £15k you start paying it back. the more you earn the more you pay. I expect them to take out £90 from my salary this month - Jamie

this is true Jackson I hadn't thought of that - Gunny doesn't side-hug™

how about when you tricked Stallman to sing the GNU song - Jackson Pollock

If comcast decided to bring back tech tv with double the pay, would LEO quit TWIT and go back? - Ken Bernard

Gunther, I tried it, but it's not worth the time and effort. Buy used if you can't afford - Jackson Pollock

ken, probably not... - Chris Heath

Jamie wow.... £15k ... jeez :/ *hopes he gets spotted by design company halfway through uni* - ralphsaunders

I think its only about £30 a month if you earn 15k - Jamie

When does Laporte Courte start? - Ken Sheppardson

Ah thats not too bad then... i think out of uni (and this is a bit forward of me) i should be getting a bit more than that.. i hope :/ - ralphsaunders

15k is below poverty in London.. lol. most decent grad jobs will start at 22-24 - Jamie

What a handsome man. You look like a male model Leo. Silver fox - Jackson Pollock

Patrick is like 25 there - Jackson Pollock

how old is this video? - Jamie

The Screensavers was such a great show - Gunny doesn't side-hug™

hmm apparently " Average annual salaries for general graphic artists vary from $37,000 to $64,000." - ralphsaunders

Patrick looks very uncomfortable in that video - Gunny doesn't side-hug™

well yeah $37k is about £25k - Jamie

Link is dead - Ken Sheppardson

When did Leo go gray and Patrick start balding - Jackson Pollock

^^ - ralphsaunders

Although my prefered fields + a few others "User interface designers can make about $86,000 on average each year. Package designers can earn an average annual salary of $82,000." ... although idk if I want to do that full time yet - ralphsaunders

Oh man, a TWiT meetup for Star Trek would be awesome. - Eric Florenzano

He's of the Jim Carrey school of broadcasting. But people forget that Carrey is a standup, just being loud and screaming doesn't work - Jackson Pollock

Me too. - Andy Wood

star trek. wow is that a fad i don't get. - Jackson Pollock

"A Saudi mother is expected to appeal a judge's ruling after he once again refused to let her 8-year-old daughter divorce a 47-year-old man, a relative said. Sheikh Habib Al-Habib made the ruling Saturday in the Saudi city of Onaiza. Late last year, he rejected a petition to annul the marriage." - Shey, Jamaican of FF from Bookmarklet

This makes me so angry. That poor girl has been sold by her fuckhead of a father to a fucking paedophile who will be 'allowed' to rape her. Sickening. - Bec Rowe @d0tski

8 year old? This is DEFINITELY not Islam. Also islam requires the woman's (the one to be married) acceptance. And again she's not a woman! She's a baby! :'( - directeur

I know there's the whole "my culture is different from your culture" thing, but no 8 year old should be married to a 47 year old, ever. - Rochelle

Makes me sick to my stomach - Shey, Jamaican of FF

GROSS! - Helen Sventitsky

I really to believe that these are our allies in the War on Terror. - Joseph Ferris

while revolting and disturbing, this may not be quite as bad as it sounds. "wife" doesn't always mean "sex partner." my understanding was also that the father could not financially support his daughter and that this girl's *shudder* husband could. but I haven't paid close attention to it. - tiffany

Tiffany, the article states that the 'husband' has promised not to consummate the 'marriage' until she reaches puberty. She's got 1-5 years before she'll have to do her wifely duties. - Bec Rowe @d0tski

yeah, i read that bec. my point is that if the family is destitute, the girl's father could see it as "this man can feed my child" not *just* "i'm selling my daughter's virginity to settle my debts." again: i don't know the details. - tiffany
