Ouch! - Xabaras (G.O.)

That's pregnancy for you. - Eivind from Android

Oof. - Stephen Mack #TeamMomo from iPhone

Still not fun - Johnny from iPhone

:( Sorry. You've been training so hard for this. Rest up when you can. - Tamara J.

Elevate and circualte! - Headless Gnad Kicker

^ and learn to type. - Headless Gnad Kicker

Yep. I thought women were being weird when they complained about cankles...until I got them. Yuck. - Bubba was a rollin stone

Consoles get cheaper to make over time, though. Sony and MS have always lost money at each launch. - Andrew C (✓) from Android

That's pretty much been how every console has been done, they're loss leaders and make up for it on the cut on the game. It's a razor-blade business. And like Andrew said, the tech gets cheaper over time. - Jimminy IS Everybody

Alex, no they don't... but they also can't be "OMGWTFBBQ HOW IS THIS HAPPENING???!??!?1?" - Johnny

Well, they can, it just won't gain them much traction unless it is a significant percentage of them. - Jennifer Dittrich

Actually, it would be a big push on Microsoft if a lot of prospective One buyers were vocal like that. - Scoble, Alex Scoble

Oak - Johnny

Knotty pine? - c.a.j.

caj is a Knotty boy! - Janet:#TeamMonique

Pinus rigida. - John (bird whisperer)

Does it burn for more than four hours? - c.a.j.

If it does, consult your doctor. - Spidra Webster

I think that's it. Wild hysteria > Facts - Johnny from iPhone

I think it's also sad just how much people are dredging up Geocities and Flickr as examples of how poorly Yahoo! handles its acquisitions. Yahoo! bought Geocities to basically kill it as Yahoo! Site Builder competition, and instead rolled them together for over a decade. Flickr, while it certainly stopped innovating, is still around and is still pretty well-regarded. ETA - Overall, I think Yahoo!'s major acquisitions have fared at least as well as many of Google's major acquisitions. - DAMMIT, MR. NOODLE

It reminds me more of the reaction you saw when LiveJournal was changing hands. You would have thought the apocalypse was nigh. (In this case, it seems to at least partially be related to the relative youth of many Tumblr users, many of whom haven't had their favorite service get bought out yet.) - Jennifer Dittrich

And, of course, 10 minutes after I say Flickr hasn't seen any innovation, I find out they've unveiled a gorgeous new layout and are giving users 1TB of photo storage for free, now. - DAMMIT, MR. NOODLE

GEE, do the established users get that or just the new ones? *grumble* - Joe Silence

Everyone that's a member of Flickr gets 1TB of space, effective immediately. New users and established users. Don't know what they'll do about users that already paid for premium memberships, though - DAMMIT, MR. NOODLE

I would simply install some phone-triggered actuated thumb tacks in your team members shoes - Mo Kargas

^ LOL - Spidra Webster

Probably not the best for team building... Given I got us lost yesterday, I'm on shakey ground as it is ;) - Johnny from iPhone

You can tell them I did it. What are they gonna do? Hike me to death? - Mo Kargas

If I *must* be diplomatic though, they should be moderating their pace to accomodate you if it's a team building exercise rather than a speed exercise. No man left behind and all that - Mo Kargas

They're certainly not leaving me behind by any stretch. I'm only at best 2 or 3 minutes behind and given that I usually climb with music, it often is a solitary endeavour for those 20 minute hills. We all climb at different rates and given how personal climbing is, I wouldn't want to make any of them alter their technique for me. Sometimes climbing slower hurts more than regular. I had... more... - Johnny from iPhone

Definitely. From what I know of Tour de France, it's the same thing with teams there. The lead will be picked on different terrain according to their various strengths and weaknesses. But they're still a team. - Spidra Webster

Eh, I disagree. I've been hiking, two or three minutes can mean the difference between an injured and lost teammate and some buddies nearby ready to help. They should be all together. If I was hiking with Johnny I'd be doing his speed, regardless of whether I could go faster or not. The Tour is after all a race, where such strengths have a purpose. - Mo Kargas

This only really applies on climbs. And it's not like I'm by myself. We tend to stretch out into a long line so if something did happen, I never lose sight of the guy in front. We also have a safety word if we need to rest etc. I'm never left behind, just we each climb at our own pace. Over 32 hours, there will be times when I walk faster than the other boys but we do clump pretty right... more... - Johnny from iPhone

Fair enough. Most of my hikes have been in heavily forested areas where injuries are common and you often can't see the guy in front. - Mo Kargas

You might have noticed that yesterday while I was out in front on ascents, I was well behind on descents, and right beside you on flats and undulating track with Nick and Dylan usually leading in these circumstances. When in front on climbs I always stay within line-of-sight, and since there's just as many descents as ascents I'm behind just as much as I'm in front. Given that we have to check in as a team there's no benefit of getting too far in front. - Benny Bucko <Team Melly>

Sleep is unproductive and a waste of time. - Louis Gray

4:20 man... - Hookuh Tinypants

you can always count on louis! - Marie

I've seen both - I'm guessing that's going to depend on whether someone's in a fixed position (seated and strapped in) or moving around, and how steady they are overall. The first generation of stuff might be pretty uneven, quality wise. - Jennifer Dittrich

There are some really cool video stabilization algorithms out there. - Brian Johns

If you have a camera attached to your head, and the head moves, that's what happens. :) - Louis Gray

Take a look at this one from today, Johnny. https://plus.google.com/1005353... While I filmed this, I was also pitching to Braden, twice. Is this in the range of what you're seeing? Better? Worse? - Louis Gray
