"Put this into the 'I didn't think they could ever get this to work on an iPhone' category. I'm talking about Dragon Dictation [iTunes link] from Nuance, the developers of the very popular Dragon Naturally Speaking for the PC. Nuance also provides the speech recognition engine for MacSpeech Dictate on the Mac platform. To dictate on the iPhone you just launch the app, press the record button, and start talking. Your dictation can be a brief sentence, or a much longer treatise. Once the text has been created from your speech, it's possible to email it, send it as a text message, or put the result in your clipboard. After recording your message, you can edit the resulting text before you send it off for others to read. It's pretty slick! When you record your message, it is quickly transmitted to Nuance servers where a speech recognition algorithm is run against your data. The resulting text is returned to your iPhone very quickly; my informal benchmarks showed that it took about a...

Karoli, sofarsoShawn and Victor Ganata liked this
"Forty years as a surgeon in university and community hospitals gives some authenticity for the following reflections regarding the failings of our health care delivery. Partisan rhetoric has led to shouting matches rather than reasoned choices, while the most fundamental issue in health care reform has yet to be stated: should health care be continued as a profit-driven enterprise? If a problem well-stated is a problem half solved, a clear answer will allow for progress. Here are the some of the problems I have observed:"
- Fulaan, inna Hebel
from Bookmarklet
"Health care is already rationed and socialized. We have an unacknowledged disparity between insatiable demand for health care and a capability that cannot meet it. We now find health care rationed on the basis of who will receive care, not on what care will be provided."
- Fulaan, inna Hebel
"Rationing does not apply to emergency care. The unemployed laborer severely injured in a car crash or the farmer who collapses will be given the best care possible. No expense will be spared, all needed consultants will be called, all necessary surgery and definitive care completed. The patient who presents for planned, scheduled health care gets a different reception. Those needing elective heart surgery, or joint repair, for example, are filtered carefully. Care is rationed by ability to pay."
- Fulaan, inna Hebel
"What is certain is that the hospital bill for the well-insured will be sufficiently high to cover expenses generated by poorly insured or uinsured patients. If "spreading the wealth" is socialization, our system is already socialized, with the "haves" paying for the "have-nots" by a tax on the wealthier group. This explains a $15 aspirin, $10,000 to $15,000 antibiotic bills, and bills...

aside from the actual content, I love the photo.

To be clear, Twitter has made available a realtime replacement for the firehose (the replacement is called "birddog"). We have not yet started consuming that new API because we're waiting for the lawyers to come to agreement on the terms of use, which I hope will happen soon. I think Twitter's legal team is simply overbooked at the moment. Edit: To reiterate, Twitter is not blocking us. The reason we are not consuming the new API is because the fb lawyers want to review the updated terms first.

thanks for the update, Paul. Perhaps the open community can donate some lawyers to help Twitter out.

Cliff, "birddog" is just a category of statuses/filter, which is available publicly (see http://apiwiki.twitter.com/Streami...). I don't know if anyone is using the birddog role or not. It's available to us and ready to go, but fb lawyers want the tou resolved before we activate it.

Cliff, it's possible that it has been added to TwitTornado: http://news.ycombinator.com/item...
- Paul Buchheit
Maybe I'm mis-parsing things, but it sounds like Twitter's just offering the updates of FriendFeed users rather than the complete Twitter firehose. (see http://friendfeed.com/evhead...) If that's the case, I'm a little confused about what's holding things up. I can see how resolving rights to third party tweets might be problematic, but if FriendFeed's only being fed updates "owned" by FriendFeed users, what's the hold up?
- Ken Sheppardson
What Twitter offers anyone who needs a lot of user updates (but they don't want to give the firehose) is a streaming feed that you send to it a list of userid's (with a max # per stream.) Then Twitter will send back all updates on that stream for any userid in the list. Not exactly the firehose but it is actually very useful for most client use-cases.
- bear (aka Mike Taylor)
Ken, that's right, it's just a different api. The holdup is due to the fact that the fb lawyers want to review the updated terms before we start using the new api.
- Paul Buchheit
So the 'internet' is now in the hands of lawyers, not engineers. We're doomed!

- Thomas Power
Is the BirdDog TOU publicly available to read? (nothing on the Tw Wiki http://apiwiki.twitter.com/Streami... )

The positive thing I get from this (be it wishful thinking) is that fb is dedicating resources to having this resolved. If FriendFeed is just a floundering fish out of water, waiting to die, why would they engage lawyers... Very interesting...
- Johnny Worthington

hear hear Johnny. Zucker is a serious player.
- Thomas Power
Johnny: Why dedicate resources? So Facebook can have the full stream too? If not now, then down the road as bits of Friendfeed appear on FB or in the dev platform?
- Amyloo
Either way, to me, dedicating resources = severs remaining on
- Johnny Worthington
from iPhone
Not to get all argumentative and start throwing around the D-word, Johnny, but Facebook would really need to address this independently of whether the FriendFeed servers stay on. As Amyloo mentioned, this is an issue if they ever intend to use the new Twitter API to feed Facebook proper.
- Ken Sheppardson
Fair enough :)

- CW™
aah, the famous "must suck" clause.
- Aron Michalski
Ken, if Facebook doesn't have short-term plans to use birddog in their big product, it doesn't make a lot of sense to sic lawyers on the tou right now. Those terms can change. For them to invest resources *right now* on the issue makes me think they care about their little product.
- Bruce Lewis
On the flip side, Bruce, one might argue that if they really cared about it they would have dealt with it by now. I don't recall when the old Twitter -> FriendFeed link started to lag, but it's been more than three months since FriendFeed became part of Facebook.
- Ken Sheppardson
Do we agree that Facebook cares more about FriendFeed than the "FF is dead" crowd thinks, but cares less about FriendFeed than we die-hard fans would like it to? If I had my way they would start migrating their userbase over here as fast as the servers could take it.
- Bruce Lewis
Almost, Bruce, but while I've been talked back off the d-word ledge, I think Facebook cares much more about FriendFeed *technology* than the site as a destination. I'll believe they care about it as a stand-alone UX when I hear somebody at Facebook who wasn't a FF employee mention it by name in public. I won't go so far as to ask that they suggest people sign up for the service... just acknowledge that it continues to exist.
