What's not to like! Thanks for sharing it Anna <33 ... and that photo is going straight to Tumblr! ;) - Emma
LOL!! Emma, did you get my message on FB? - Anna Haro
They didn't send me any notification but yes, thanks for letting me know, I've just seen it! *hugs* and I'll send you one back in the morning! ;) - Emma
okay, I just wanted to make sure it was sent. Good Night...sweet dreams...lol - Anna Haro
“I started using AwayFind.com & immediately some crafty PR person used it to pitch me even tho my AF msg says URGENT matters only & provides my tips email address. I kind of feel like deleting their email now. Is that wrong?”
I'd delete the message! But one quick tip: create a category in AwayFind that's called "PR" or "Story Lead" and then just have that category go nowhere. A lot of bloggers I know do that :-) - Jared Goralnick

I wonder when the bad time to buy a home would be. - Chris White
Will Re/Max guarantee this "perfect time" claim by protecting purchasers against loss of value? - Ontario Emperor
Heh, my realtor is Re/Max...and no, they won't, Ontario. And the perfect time to buy a home is when you can afford it and are tired of renting...regardless of the economy. No one can guarantee that this is the best time to buy a home, but it's certainly better than it was 2 years ago or even a year ago. If you are buying a home with a shorter than 5 year time horizon to sell, now is NOT the right time to buy...longer than that...10 years...and this is a good time to buy... - Alex Scoble CISSP
No one can guarantee that tomorrow or the next year won't be better...then again if you stay out too long you'll miss the bargains too. - Alex Scoble CISSP
“Idea: Experienced players should offer guided tours of Call of Duty levels, introducing newer players to common tactics, killzones, and advanced strategies. I could totally see players paypal-ing $5 for an hour session in a private game room with 10 other students, while a drill sergeant runs folks...”
Anyone know if this kind of thing already exists? With 90,000 players on Call of Duty at any given time, this seems like a worthwhile market for building a team of instructors. - Kevin Fox
I gotta get back into that game -- it was awesome - Shey
wow that's so nerdy. it could help though. i used to get frustrated as hell always getting shot down on cod 4 all the time when i first began - Cee Bee
But if there was this, there wouldn't be any more n00bs for the experienced players to pwn. - Wizetux
"TiVo becomes the latest Silicon Valley company to resort to laying employees off as it “manages through the challenges presented by a difficult economic climate,” as well as what it, perhaps euphemistically refers to as “a rapidly evolving retail consumer market.”
Perhaps “devolving” would be the more appropriate verb choice. Or does TiVo know something about other changes in consumer habits, in addition to the evidently growing consumer fad of, well, consuming less." - Chris White
Do layoffs mean you maybe hired more full-timers than you should have? Perhaps the time is right for us all to become consultants. - Daniel J. Pritchett
Don't they need someone to deliver pizzas? - Mona N.
Daniel: TiVo's headcount has remained pretty steady over time. There are a lot of companies more deserving of the 'you hired too quickly and now you pay the price' snark than TiVo is. This is a sad day for TiVo and many of my friends who work there. - Kevin Fox
I ♡ TiVo. We have two, including a Series 1 and an HD. They pioneered this market and should have gotten much bigger than they have. Great product. - Louis Gray
Louis, I feel the same way. There are just a handful of products / services that are in the same class as TiVo in my book. - Mike Doeff
The problem TiVo ran into (and WebTV also) was that the cable/satellite companies control everything. Once they partnered with companies with better UIs, they created internal projects to build their own DVRs, and then ended the partnerships. Getting a box from your provider became the default compared to getting a 3rd party product. It's an unfortunate reality of business that there are strategic issues beyond user experience that determine success. It's the primary reason we haven't seen an Apple DVR. - Chris White
But we have seen an Apple phone, and arguably the situation is pretty similar there. - ⓞnor
@nor, Apple negotiated a great deal with AT&T, as far as wireless contracts go, but they still had to sign a 5-year exclusive. The cable market in particular is different because it's regional, which just becomes a huge convoluted mess. Better luck will probably come from using broadband than trying to navigate the cable twisty passages. - Chris White
@nor: By that analogy, is Android the generic mobile provider's alternative? - Kevin Fox
In 2004, the Clinton administration decided to throw out discouraged workers from unemployment statistics. Because of this, we may actually have the highest unemployment now since the 1930s. - Chris White
Do you mean 1994? Or do you mean the Bush administration? - Ontario Emperor
If it's the lighter app, I will LOL. *edit: THANK GOD - Mona N.
Trism is the only paid iPhone app that I fire up every day, and thus the only one that hasn't inspired at least a little buyer's remorse. - Roger Benningfield
Grades; this IS what makes me hate the word "social". You'll tell me that it's how real life is too. and again I won't agree... this is, in fact, how real life WAS. kings, slaves, blacks, women... - directeur
