Zulema, yes, but they didn't actually use a dial, unless it was an app. Phoning it in would be better. ;)
- Jimminy, CoG of FF
I've still got some radios that have to be 'dialed in', [edit: though we say 'tuned in', weird]. ;)
- Jimminy, CoG of FF
I can't recall ever hearing somebody say it that way. I'm use to "phoned it in". Maybe it's regional. I've heard "dialed it in" or "dialed in" used to mean got everything just right, as in turning in a radio station... but I guess yeah, that's obsolete too...
- Ken Sheppardson
I, like Zulema, think they both still apply. The point of the quip is that the person did not show up, focus fully, give it their all, etc. They merely sent along information much as one would do in a phone call, letter, or email. /smarty pants rant

Dang, that must take some working of the hips.
- Slippy
never heard this vernacular. every time in the last 40 years that i've heard someone "dialled it in" it was in reference to them fine-tuning something, zeroing in on detail or totally nailing something difficult. unoriginal neologisms perpetrated by the culturally ignorant are confusing at best.
- Joe The Sausage
I think it still applies though, Joe. It used to be a matter of setting all the dials "just so", whereas it's more of a "push button to autotune" kind of world these days.
- Slippy
@Slippy: ever used Autotune? it involves knobs. even if it's the software version.
- Joe The Sausage
merely an error in vernacular, my good sir.
- Slippy
perhaps, but when you dial something in you are not doing it the easy way. there's the error.
- Joe The Sausage
Autotune is the new breathing helium, that's all.
- Micah
from FFHound(roid)!
Accepted. Now seeing the error in the OP itself. "Dialling it in" in that context is not a thing. "Dialling it in" as regards "fine tuning" is definitely a thing, I was confuserating the two.

@Micheal - indeed, the business model for that stuff may be worth investigation.. but I speak more of those in the technology industry (that make money by making technology work, or making technology) and those that report ABOUT it. The line that those that report and those that do it seems to be less delineated.. something is up there though I'm probably not articulating it well enough. :)

Kevin: Integrity is "are you what you seem?" So, if you are a criminal, and everyone knows it, you have integrity. Now, if everyone thinks you are a Rabbi, but you actually are a criminal, then you don't have integrity.

Why is Steve getting more credit than Bill gates? Bill put a PC in the hands of villagers in developing countries. He put them in failing inner city schools. Steve Jobs put computers in the hands of the well-off.

I do know what it's like to live with integrity. Indeed, this is essential. But, when we have those out there and we lack personal involvement with these people. What helps me know that this person has integrity.

I consider this more of a Klout thing. Klout being a measure of influence, right?
- Kevin Costain
Klout measures online popularity and topicality. I wouldn't go as far as saying it truly measures influence.
- Robert Scoble
But it gets us at least partway down that road.
- Robert Scoble
Eh. Bill Gates changed computing as much as Steve Jobs did - the love won't be the same for Bill because the Microsoft message has become about malware, "Product Activations", and sales channels

There is a reasonable chance Bill Gates will help erradicate Malaria and put clean water in villages in the Sudan. I know who I think changed the world the most.
- David Lloyd
It doesn't have to be pissing contest. They've both done great things

Sure. Popularity and topicality are not influence. I think something like tying honesty and integrity to an identity would give words of those with more of it, more weight.

Jobs was a great and powerful pitchman. He had to pitch his revolutionary trojan horses to folks like printers, cell carriers, record companies, publishers and film and video distributors. Apple will need to replace this facet of his talent. Who will be able to do this at Apple?

funny, Tina, I was thinking the same thing.

I wonder how many people will use "Cards" to send sympathy messages to Apple once the app is released. When I first heard about "Cards" I immediately thought of Steve Jobs, even though many laughed about this seemingly silly app.

Right Kevin :) I could go on with thousands of examples where Jobs made incredibly inspired design decisions. He was more like the old car designers who lovingly thought about every curve on a car.

Danny, iTunes was Job's way of keeping us humble. ;-)

- Stephen Pickering
r Macdonald: both true and false. Jobs got how we would talk about his products and made them HYPER conversational. Why else ship an iPod with white headphones?

Jobs jettisoned the physical keyboard and need for a stylus on a smartphone. That move alone was brilliant and gutsy.

Google+ is not on this list, yet. Mostly because I haven't got a handle on its core value as a news trigger. If you're Scoble, the value is obvious as he is now demonstrating by turning it into his blog. But sooner or later the service will have to decide what it wants to be when it grows up — a conversation hub with no tools for rapid synthesis of knowledge, a social graph to challenge Twitter (it's getting there fast), or some other thing perhaps more substantial than currently appreciated, like a stalking horse for YouTube live streaming aka the social broadcast network.

"The research arm of the consulting firm McKinsey recently took a look at the data on debt levels in a number of countries with so-called developed economies. What they found would probably surprise most Tea Partiers. The U.S.'s overall debt - which is government debt plus individual household debt plus corporate debt and bank debt - when compared to our GDP, which is how most economists look at these things, is actually much lower than many other developed nations. Overall, the U.S. and its citizens owe a little over $41 trillion. That, of course, is a lot of money. But when compared to the U.S. GDP, it's not a shockingly bad number. In fact, it's pretty good, when compared to other nations. The U.S.'s debt is equal to 275% of our GDP. That percentage for the United Kingdom is over 450%. Japan's overall debt-to-GDP is about the same as the U.K. Spain comes in at nearly 350%, and France's debt is above 300%. Our debt level is about the same as Germany, which everyone think is pulling...

@Todd it depends. Since I spend so much time on Friendfeed, I enjoy seeing aggregated stuff, even from people who no longer converse there. Plus has to decide what it is, what it is for. Can't have cake and eat it too.

If have a feed stream I would like to have an easy way to move to the conversational stream. I can do it by hand but it's often too much work.

Maybe when developers get a hold of APIs there will be some killer client overlay thingy. So I can see ONE of what someone posted in multiple places but ALL of the conversations on ALL of the platforms. I wish.

Email is like a call control setup. It's starts the conversation between unknown parties. Try contacting you don't know without email. It's nearly impossible. After you connect then you skype, chat, or whatever.

Messages to a known address that I control and can use cross platform? No that is not going away.

All subscription systems needs an email. Maybe not for discussion between friends, but businesses are using it a lot, sometimes just so they don't use a public email system and have internal discussions. Could be done in a 'corporate social network', but I don't see that soon.

"As the article described, part of the banks security infrastructure included risk-based security based on RSA’s Cyota product, which “rates the riskiness of transactions by using several factors, such as the location of a user’s Internet address, when and how often the user logs in, and how the customer navigates the site”. This actually provides a much better layer of protection than simply authenticating the user based on passwords. Context-based security is a key element in the multi-layered security architecture that is the future of enterprise security, as I laid out in my recent talk."
