Do you think you'll continue to have dog(s)? I can't think of life with my Golden. Kaz is my second, Max was my first: http://flickr.com/photos/koltr... - Kol Tregaskes

I would also always have a Golden, would you also have the same breed of dog? - Kol Tregaskes

no woofers here; just 1 cat - Susan Beebe

Kol - yes, after these 2 go I'll have more doggies. I'd have more now if my hubby would allow but not pushing my luck. Springer is the first pure bred I've had. Think I'll either have a full Lab next time or a rescue doggie that speaks to me. - Mlibrarianus

We have a pug, named Ajax. Greek warrior and nerd acronym rolled into one. http://flickr.com/photos/75309... http://flickr.com/photos/75309... - mikepk

Texas the Great Dane. http://getsomehairapy.files.wo... lost his sister, Georgia, to bone cancer this summer. The plan for when he passes is to be dog-free long enough to redo the landscaping. Next dog will be equally lazy. No terriers for us! - Aura Mae

Here's mine - http://ksp.aminus3.com/image/2... he's a Shiba Inu. - Kenton

My mom's dog is half beagle. Good dog choice! - Rochelle

I was just going to ask what people's experiences were with them. Can't judge a breed by this one particular dog. Do they do well in apartments? - Derrick

Who has the ill red shoes in the picture?! - Nicholas Kreidberg

The Seattle Beagle Rescue website has lots of good general information about beagles as a breed: http://www.beaglerescue.org/in... - Rochelle

Nick: Dorothy? lol - Derrick

Thanks, Rochelle...I'll bookmark it for later. - Derrick

Nice, lovely doggies, but soooo smelly. - Chuck LeDuc Díaz

yappy too. they're a nice breed but strong and a bit of runners. lots of energy, but sweet. - Patricia

Cute breed. Easy to train and small enough for an apartment. - Chris W

There are a dog parks to take them too where you can let them run around at. - Chris W

Love this picture!!! The markings on the frontal facing dog are spectacular. - jlt

beagles are the best!! - Kipp Bodnar

they're hounds. hounds are generally smart busybodies with some energy...though not jack russell style energy. we had a stray beagle become the neighborhood dog back in the day. she would come visit us at the bus stop, and she would say hi to my mom... but then somebody took her :-(. she was sooooo sweet and good with us kids. - tiffany

We got a 5 year old beagle. Anastacia Beaverhausen. She rules the house. LOVE her. - EJ Flavors

Thanks, T...all the insight helps. LMAO @ EJ. I'll hit you up when it gets time to name the pooch. - Derrick

Oh, this is gonna come in very, very handy... - Mark VandenBerg

Guess that means an end to the ugly in-store activation requirement. - Kevin D. White

I think my Wheat Chex is going to be running out around 2009 anyway. :) - Josh Haley

I don't think most tech people will like this becasue it will make their iPhone feel less "special" - Kipp Bodnar

Hot Donkey, watch now finally on the Mac! - Thomas Hawk

Except when you go to Netflix and select to "play" something, you'll still get "Our apologies — instant watching is currently not supported for Macintosh." It would have been nice to announce it when it's actually available. - ·[▪_▪]·

hmmm... at least it's coming. Does anyone know when we can actually get it? - Thomas Hawk

"The deployment, which will initially touch a small percentage of new Netflix subscribers, is the first step in an anticipated roll-out of the new platform to all Netflix subscribers by the end of the year." - Thomas Hawk

Thanks for posting that Thomas. I was too lazy to read beyond the "not supported" :D - ·[▪_▪]·

FYI doesn't work on my Mac yet. http://images.scripting.com/ar... - Dave Winer

its about time! - Kipp Bodnar

Its ironic that this is all thanks to microsoft. - Roberto Bonini

I got all excited until I found out it isn't available for all users yet. - Nick Humphries

Mac users... look no further than Apple for why Netflix can't send movies to you. Look at Dave Winer's link and read the NEXT line which clearly says that Apple does not license their DRM technology to third-parties. WTF is that? So, essentially Apple is saying that they want it all. I wonder if Microsoft can somehow get some kind of DRM code working on OS/X. Time will tell... - Jim McCusker

nor am I - Drew Lucas

nope, not at all - Patphelan

I've been a Netgear guy for years. Do you use D Link, Dave? - Mike L via twhirl

I used to be Netgear but we've been Belkin for three years or so now. - Akiva Moskovitz

I've got a newer DLink, works just dandy-o - Eric @ CS Techcast

have been a long time D-Link customer, picked up some great gear in Taiwan last year - David Blumenstein via twhirl

Had so many problems with D-Link products - Jon Anderson

I use three Linksys wrt54gl routers with tomato firmware and WDS to provide complete wireless coverage in my home. Works just dandy. (WDS is described here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/W...) - Jasmin Patry

After having nothing but problems with Linksys gear, I now use Dlink exclusively. This is my wireless router and it just works. - Alex Scoble CISSP

I just ordered one, to arrive tomorrow. - Dave Winer

I have a D-Link DGL-4300. The wireless part works fine and I like some of the features (port access control for one), but the UI blows and it's buggy with certain things. - Logical Extremes

What's so bad about the UI? - Dave Winer

I've been tempted to switch to an Airport Extreme or a custom-firmware device. I'd presumably gain reliability, but lose features I use. Not a good choice to have to make. - Logical Extremes

The UI on the DIR-625 is good...much better than what you get with a comparible Linksys. - Alex Scoble CISSP

Come to mama. :) French Toast is awesome. It was one of my pregnancy cravings. (Along with spinach and popsicles- but not all at once.) - Abby Martin

OH MY GOD . . . you just won the internetz for life. I HAVE TO TRY THESE! - Lindsey

Wow... I will make these when I return home. - Brandon Titus

OMG want! - Sparky

I shall NOM this presently, indeed. - Josh Haley

Lindsay - this is RIGHT down your alley. - Tad, Fool

I think I might have to kill myself after eating that... combining two of my favorite foods might be a sensory overload. - Lindsay Donaghe

Basically bread pudding. Not that there's anything wrong with that, no sir. - Glen Campbell

thanks... it's two in the freakin morning and you're posting stuff like that... now i'm hungry. THANKS A LOT! ;) - Joshua Schnell

Josh, I didn't post this at two in the morning, LOL. - Trish R

Want!! - BeeLing

I'd prefer a bacon sandwich myself - Ian May

AAAaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhOOOwwwww man that's not very nice... i am hungry at my desk too! - Susan Beebe

WINNERS! Every last one of you who loves breakfast! - Thomas Hawk

I know I should eat breakfast, but it's the one time of day when I have to force myself to eat. I always feel like doo doo when I wake up, and almost never hungry in the slightest - mid morning before I'm ready to eat. - Ian May

wow that looks amazing!! I am now hungry - Kipp Bodnar

Yum - Michael Schuermann

You had me at Creme Brulee. Subscribed! - Micah Wittman via twhirl

better to look than eat... - susan mernit

I've not read the actual report (and I'd laugh and cry if I did, I'm sure), but I'm still completely unclear if Forrester's referring to RSS specifically or content syndication in general...? - abacab

How about Atom adoption? :-) Or is RSS / Atom are synonymous in the Forrester report. - Atul Arora

if RSS were one click it would change everything. I believe that. RSS should be as simple as following on a social net - ⓃⓄⒶⒽ ⒹⒶⓋⒾⒹ ⓈⒾⓂⓄⓃ

Part of the problem is surely the name. RSS. It doesn't even stand for anything - or at least, there's not widespread agreement on what it means. There's also the terminology associated with it, such as "subscribe", which to many implies payment. - David Young

Wish RSS would go to be main stream like Email,it is such a great technology that change everything after the invent of PC,cellphone and the Internet. - Steve

Is this the same Forrester that said the Internet was a fad back in 1996? :) - ScottBourne

So far in my early adopting history, every new technology that I've embraced with force and used enthusiastically for more than a year has gone mainstream in a really big way. I use feeds and feed readers much more than email, email readers and standard Web browsing these days. I am predicting more than 90% penetration of RSS/Atom technologies (or their future iterations) among regular Internet users over the next few years. The practical and immediate benefits for anyone who needs to follow and manage news are enormous. The masses will catch on. - Sean McBride

@Scott Maybe it was Forrester who bought Macbooks before last week's announcement. ;-) - Steve Rubel

I have trouble believing that. Why would they check RSS adoption. Many of the people who get feeds through RSS applications may not even be aware that there is RSS involved. - Dorai

I agree with Louis, think Forrester is way off here - Kipp Bodnar

the crap that's being published about web tools is amazing! - Joe Buhler

I've abandoned traditional RSS all together. If I really *must* subscribe to some sort of RSS content and the author isn't on FriendFeed, I'll just create an imaginary friend and mix it in. FF trumps any RSS reader I've ever tried. - Thomas Hawk

Thomas Hawk - again, allow me to dissent. :) I find Google Reader to be far more efficient for tracking and managing news than Friendfeed. In fact, I follow many Friendfeed feeds through Google reader. FF is superior for conversational interactions on news items, of course. Main reasons for my opinion: list view, mark all as read, mark as read while scrolling by. - Sean McBride

I prefer NewsNetWire for all my RSS needs, as it syncs across my multple computers and my iPod touch, and for most feeds, I'm not interested in the chatter that comes with FF. - Bob M. Montgomery via twhirl

I was a longtime FeedDemon user until I started using Google Reader. I like being able to mark my favorite posts and sharing them with my friends. The commenting is useful too. Accessing it online anywhere and being able to interact with it on FF is unmatched by any other feed reader. RSS clients will be gone in the future. Everything is going into the browser. - Rolf Schewe

I think RSS will find further adoption but it's going to be a slow hard climb and then a marked and substantial acceleration once it tips. I'm a fairly Internet savvy guy and it took *me* a while to fully grok RSS and what it could do for me. Google Reader was my way in and now I'm hooked. It needs to be marketed better and subscriptions need to be 'late majority' proof. - AJ Kohn

The problem with Friendfeed as a news reader: Why should I have to scroll through the comments on items I have no interest in reading? Why should I have to see those items and comments again and again and again when looking for new items? Forget about "Hide": that's too much work and effort. - Sean McBride

I trust my own judgment about sources and topics more than any commenters or comments on Friendfeed. Signal to noise on GR for me blows away FF. Most of the best minds in the world are still not FF users. - Sean McBride

forrester .. that says it all - Gregory Lent

social network feeds, widgets/gadgets/apps, igoogle/my yahoo, ipods, appletv/tivo, etc...they all use rss...it's just plumbing...jeez :) - don loeb

Don - RSS is also a radical paradigm shift at the user interface level in information consumption on the Internet: bring the most relevant information to the user automatically rather than the user manually foraging for the best information website by website. The efficiencies gained are enormous. Ordinary people (as opposed to zealous early adopters) will eventually figure this out. - Sean McBride

@Sean: Agreed. Once people understand it's like getting your magazines and newspapers delivered to your door instantaneously they'll start to get it. - AJ Kohn

RSS may just be solving a problem that most people don't have. If you don't check out more than a few websites daily, there is no point to subscribing to feeds. - Jason Kaneshiro

good point - truefreemind

@Jason: Good point. Many still use the Internet for a limited set of purposes. Email, Search. If you're not looking for content, then RSS doesn't easily solve your problem. - AJ Kohn

The RSS model has the potential to manage efficiently and optimize all your daily news and information inputs -- not just new data on websites. Think of it potentially as the ultimate personal assistant. - Sean McBride

I agree with Forrester, that 11% say they use RSS - while another equal amount might use it but aren't sure. FF'ers are early adopters, so we're part of that. - Mike Reynolds

idk facebooks kinds growing on me sine I tied it into twitter, ff, plus it's got cute pix of my wife. I can barely keep up a scobles shared reader rss much less my own 440 feeds - mal

metafilter, reddit, digg, all once did this for me, not for a long time though - Gregory Lent

sean, i agree with you. what i meant was that the benefits of rss are what users need to know about, not the technology. and, the reach of rss is way beyond the "traditional" rss reader model and extends to many different forms of distributed content consumption... - don loeb

Robert agee completely with Gary. She could have hundreds of thousands of followers if she would do it right. - Kipp Bodnar

just wonder.. do you really think Britney herself knows about twitter? - Naor

doubt 'she' is the one doing it but great way for Gary to try to work her press to his benefit - Patricia

i seriously doubt Britney knows about twitter other than maybe her PR folks letting her know they're using it. - Susan Beebe
