I have but one Apple Tablet prediction: The only way to get software on it will be via the App Store.
Stuart Woodward, EricaJoy, Hutch Carpenter and 22 other people liked this
Agreed.
- Paul Buchheit
I disagree.
- Cristo
Agreed, too. Or using your existing apps (all of which will soon need "large screen view")
- Christopher Galtenberg
I bet you $1 you can sync via USB.
- Stephen Mack
Though of course there will be jailbroken ones around.
- Paul Buchheit
If it ever exists.
- Stephen Mack
Stephen: Like the iPhone, where you can only USB sync apps from the App Store? I think that still fits my prediction.
- Kevin Fox
Of course you'll be able to put an app on it without using the App Store. You just need to write the app. :)
- Cristo
I think the main point is that the app acquisition experience would be no different than the iPhone and iPod Touch, and I totally agree.
- Mark Trapp
That feels less than wise. To make everything published for the tablet to go through their Byzantine approval process. Though, yeah, it makes perfect sense they'd do it that way and I can see the benefits.
- Keith Bourgoin
I agree too, I've been dreading this in a way. I think the Tablet will be Atom processor based with full OSX Snow Leopard (perhaps trimmed down) and capable of running regular apps, but Apple will gate-keeper them through the app store, so you won't even be able to get free stuff on it without approval. I think they need to do this, not just for greed, but because they want to attack the ebook industry, and they'll demand heavy DRM.
- Ray Cromwell
I think that's a foregone conclusion, yep. Sadly.
- Erik J. Barzeski
I'm really hoping this ISN'T the case. Yes, I'd like to see App Store stuff available on a potential tablet -- but not as the only avenue (barring rolling your own).
- Jennifer Dittrich
Kevin: I thought you were saying only via an "App Store" icon on the device, and not via iTunes on a PC/Mac then sync. But if either method is part of your prediction, then I agree.
- Stephen Mack
I think it'll take less than two weeks for someone to jailbreak it if they go with that model.
- Matt Hilton
I like the idea, but I disagree. I think it would let you use remote DVD drives on the network, as you can with Air.
- Louis Gray
Stephen, I mean 'App Store' in terms of the marketplace the apps come from. iTunes is just another means of accessing the App Store.
- Kevin Fox
I agree. It won't be as open as a "computer"
- Gunny Say RELAX ™
My Apple Tablet prediction: I won't be getting one, ever.
- Otto
I agree, unless you can jail break it, the app store will be the only option.
- howlongtoretire
So no MS Office?
- Jason Williams
from iPhone
@Jason - either that, or this finally provides incentive for a mobile version on that platform...
- Jennifer Dittrich
Agreed.

why don't you buy a moka like this one: http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki...
- Luigi Filograna
I've got one of those, but don't particularly like it. Mostly because I'm incompetent and end up burning it a lot. It's kind of a pain to keep clean after a while as well since everything gets stained and nasty looking.
- Keith Bourgoin
Yeah, the reviews on this one say it's very easy to clean. I was also looking at the Bodum presses but they seem a bit more difficult to clean.
- Benjamin Golub
well it's not so difficult to use the moka, it's full of video on youtube on how to make coffee with...one of the things I can say about cleaning it is that you have to wash it without soap...
- Luigi Filograna
Life's too short for bad coffee. Get a real espresso machine if you want espresso :)
- John μller
I have a real one already. This just seemed neat
- Benjamin Golub
from iPhone
I got one last year and it does make good espresso shots. but I've found I end up using my plastic single serve cone filter I picked up at Peet's coffee more often because it is easier to clean and produces similar quality (and I am fine with coffee instead of espresso if it is that fresh). the key seems to be brewing a single fresh cup at a time.

Square - email receipts and moving the point of sale to the payer? Sounds great to me. - http://squareup.com/

When we visited Paris I really liked how they brought the card reader to you, so your credit card is never taken to some back room for 5 minutes like it is here. Square solves that. Also email receipts? Sign me up.
- Benjamin Golub
from Bookmarklet
This is oddly similar to what I hear PayPal started as. It was before smartphones, and it never really caught on, but I think their original business model was around a mobile payment device of sorts.
- Keith Bourgoin
I want email receipts to be done at a lower level, by visa/mastercard/amex. Start offering vendors new card readers that optionally allow you to receive an email receipt but without ever providing your email address to the vendor. For example Citi knows my email address already so it shouldn't be difficult.
- Benjamin Golub
On second thought, I absolutely would not let somebody swipe my card through their iPhone. It seems like somebody stealing my information to me. I don't care about receipts via email or any other method. It would be nice to be able to accept credit card payments from other people easily, but Paypal has that working pretty much direct from iPhone to iPhone at this point, if only they could get their fees problem worked out.
- Otto
Something tells me this is not as simple as the Square site would lead one to believe. No fees for payers or payees? How is the data secured? What, if any, restrictions are there on use of the data? Square is probably not subject to the same regulations as banks or credit card companies. Photo ID required as a buyer? That's an additional requirement over traditional credit card...
more...
- LogEx
I was also skeptical - the only requirement is an audio jack? I'm assuming there needs to be some net capability - unless they're transferring data over a phone call...? and why will you need to swipe the card when so many cc companies are switching to RFIDs?
- Hilary
This is also likely to make oh so common cell phone theft suddenly a major data privacy concern. My card was cancelled 3 times in the past year alone due to breaches at unnamed retailers, which was a huge pain.
- Hilary
Hilary, you're right about the dangers of increasing the already significant concentration of personal information/power contained in a cell phone. RFID credit cards are, thankfully, not ubiquitous yet. I'll stop using them if that ever becomes the only choice. I assume that he audio jack links up to some kind of audio band digitizer... weird.
- LogEx
Will the receipts be able to contain more transaction information : i.e. items purchased for return/exchange purposes?

Anyone using an online backup service? I'm considering Mozy. @ $5 a month unlimited space it seems hard to beat.
Mike Nencetti liked this
Megen and I use Dropbox. Hard to beat if you don't need more than 2GB. We also use Time Machine on a NAS
- Benjamin Golub
Mozy's not bad. I use that, Time Machine, and a Windows Media Center with RAID'd hard drives that I store all my media on.
- Jesse Stay
I've been using Carbonite for a couple years at this point and I really like it. I haven't looked, but I think it's still Windows only. It means I keep everything to be backed up on an NTFS partition, but other than that it's been fantastic.
- Keith Bourgoin
We've got > 25 gb of photos alone. So we need something with a very big bucket.
- Tim Costantino
Mozy is nice because then you are also protected from natural disasters since the backup is offsite. But then you are stuck spending $5 a month forever :(. I like using Time Machine since it's all automatic and built into the computers but you have PCs so it won't work as well. We use the 2TB version of this: http://www.wdc.com/en...
- Benjamin Golub
Dropbox is really nice.
- Itachi
I use JungleDisk combined with Amazon's S3. Compatible with Mac and PC. More expensive though. And then there's also Backblaze, but haven't tried that.

In particular, I like the second paragraph about how the placebo could affect understanding of the nature of conditions like anxiety.
- Keith Bourgoin
I love the crumper and that he is also trained in other styles!! I am excited to see if the makes the show. However I think Tyce is moody, inconsistent and annoying, but that is me.
- Rachel Lea Fox
That guy was not only the best crumper I think I've seen, but the fact that he's trained in many other styles bodes well -- I hope he can carry it all the way.
- Paul Wilcox
I really liked the crumper as well. I also thought Tyce was a complete asshole-- especially with the hip-hop guy who came back after two years who he gave all sorts of crap for not dancing contemporary. WTF? Hip-hop is his style! Vegas is where people show how flexible they are, style-wise, not in the audition. And did anyone else not see what made them send the guy in the plaid pants...
more...
- Shannon Jiménez
Don't get why the plaid guy went thru either. The hip hop guy was kind of mediocre.
- Amber, Random Time Lord
I agree Shannon. and it was very inconsistent and hypocritical. He didn't give the break dancer or the crumper any lip for not showing the other styles they were trained in. It was just that the poor hip hopper came at the end of one of his sugar lows (guessing) where he was getting on everyone's case for anything and so he got on his case too. It was stupid! The crumper studied ballet,...
more...
- Rachel Lea Fox
I thought the plaid guy was good, but I expected him to go to choreography.
- Rachel Lea Fox
Agreed. The plaid guy was alright, but didn't seem to have strong training, just a really interesting solo. The hip hop guy was decent, but Tyce just went nuts on him for no good reason. I think that's why Nigel stared Tyce down and said that he should at least go to choreo. Personally, I think the ice cream girl didn't even need to go to choreo, but I'm happy she still made it to Vegas.
- Keith Bourgoin
Re: plaid guy, I think I've noticed a trend where the first dancer is either awful or gets sent to Vegas. I'm guessing they want to start the show with either a happy story or something horrific, which may help keep casual channel-flipping viewers watching the show. Since plaid guy wasn't terrible (maybe the Assistant Producer who pulled him out of the line for interviews and to go first guessed he'd totally suck?) so he got a Vegas ticket. I bet he'll get cut there.
- Paul Wilcox
Tyce seems to think that being an asshole is the way to seem more important. He's a pretty shallow, self-important person.
- Kevin Fox
I <3 you guys. Tyce is rude, annoying and self-absorbed. As for the krumper, I think he's one of my favorite dancers. I always love an underdog with no training but obvious natural talent. Just like Joshua from a couple seasons ago.

They are pretty different. One similar area are templates. Tornado templates look a lot like Django templates but they let you run arbitrary Python inside of the template. I love being able to do simple things like list comprehensions inside of templates.

Canon PowerShot SD960. Just got back from my first trip with it and was very happy.

Thanks. I'm impressed by the shots you've posted. It seems that's known as the Digital IXUS 110 IS in the UK. I was looking to buy a new one ready for our honeymoon next week and this was a possibility. I had a brief look at one and the only thing that put me off was the menu wheel. How do you find using that?
- Tony Ruscoe
@Tony I have the IXUS 100 as I wanted a very small camera but a co-worker has just got the IXUS 110 and I love the click wheel and the larger screen. The wider lens is also very good. I think I'd probably choose the 110 over the 100 now that I've seen it.
- Alex Lomas
I didn't have any issues with the wheel and found the menus to be pretty easy to navigate. The big selling points for me were the wide angle lens and the ability to take hd video. The wide angle was absolutely worth it and the video was pretty good. You can see some video here: http://friendfeed.com/kbourgo...
- Keith Bourgoin
Alex, thanks for the info. The IXUS 100 was another I was looking at. Keith, that video quality looks amazing. I think I might order one of these. Thanks for your help!
- Tony Ruscoe
@Tony The HD video quality is about the same on the 100 & 110 (amazed you can do some on camera editing of video too!). There's a rubbish sample at http://www.flickr.com/photos...
- Alex Lomas
Check out the difference the 'foliage' setting on the new camera makes. This one is just messing with the ISO speed and making the colors more vivid. I'll try to get one of the nighttime portrait setting, which is much more impressive.

I usually keep my Canon on "Vivid" color mode. Works well like this for almost all scenes but doesn't really hurt skin tones. Although it tends to make reds a bit too red.
- Benjamin Golub
Yeah, no Vivid in this one. It has a lot more specific settings based on what you're doing. I've found Auto to be pretty good, but if you remember to use the predefined one it comes out really well.

- Alex Lomas

Alex: according to our logs http://friendfeed.com/alexlom... has already been posted to your Facebook profile. Facebook responded with a successful publish.
- Benjamin Golub
@Benjamin - Wow, thanks for looking into that. Still not showing up on my wall, so I guess it must be something else :(
- Alex Lomas
@Benjamin - Woohoo! They've appeared! But the stories were way down the bottom of the wall amongst posts from early this morning so I didn't initially see them. Maybe something to do with time zones (I'm in the UK)?
- Alex Lomas
Ben: that solved it for me too! Pics also showing! Thanks for the help! 1 quick question for you :) when do you think we will be able to add the FF app to Facebook Public Profiles because that would be awesome!
- Peter du Toit (S.Africa)
Cool. Thanks for the tip.

Very good, but I don't plan on allowing a merger between my facebook page and my friendfeed stream any time soon :-)

I'm not sure how to summarize this, except that it's extremely tragic (story in reddit comment) - http://www.reddit.com/r...

I'm actually glad I read that. Good point of how the death of one person can wreak havoc on the stability of the people around them.

It doesn't make a lot of sense... the original post that is... why if you don't want help or be convinced not to take that action, do you then post about it? As for the featured response, agree that this is extremely tragic and does show exactly what happens after the event.

It's Reddit. I wouldn't be at all surprised if this is all made up.

I really don't think 'like' is the proper thing for this, so I comment. Thanks for posting it here, Paul.

Hm. Uploaded videos to YouTube and made them public a few hours ago. FriendFeed has yet to realize this. Anyone noticed this before? Here I was, finally getting some HD video from the new camera up!
Have you tried refreshing your YouTube feed? You can go to Settings --> Add/Edit services --> select YouTube --> finally, select refresh. It should pull in the new YouTube videos for you. Hope this helps!
- Ross Miller
Yep, finally came up. Thanks for the help!

Space shuttle landing right now. Awesome idea for the live feed. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id...

The CNN feed just switched to live video showing the actual shuttle instead of the GPS screen

MSNBC too. Are they going off the same feed? I see a NASA logo on mine.
