Ah I have to say you're lucky once again. I saw them in Toronto in May or June. They're just awesome, I can't believe they have a song in the iPhone ad. Would be nifty if they could get into an iPod ad (though I don't know how popular those are anymore :P) - Rudolf Olah

"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

I wasn't snarking, just curious about business models. - Daniel J. Pritchett via fftogo

Phil, my comments weren't antipathy. I thought TiVo did a great job on user experience. What I was saying was they didn't have a strategic business advantage, and that is often what is necessary for long term success. - Chris White

Kansas Preacher Pushes Obama Muslim Message WICHITA, KAN. — A Wichita, Kansas preacher says he will not remove a message on his church sign that says President-Elect Barack Obama is a Muslim. The sign is staying up despite the fact that Obama is a Christian. The sign at Spirit One Christian Center reads, “America we have a Muslim president. This is sin against the Lord.” Obama supporters reportedly got into a shouting match with parishioners outside the church on Sunday. - ♣genieyclo♣

Could it be that there are too many stupid people in America for it to survive as a functioning superpower? This thought crosses my mind often these days. In the nineties I felt like we were a highly educated nation, on the cutting edge of human progress. Then the wheels fell off with the turn of the millennium. - Sean McBride

I love the "Church Without Walls" part. It's so ironic. - Glenn Batuyong

"McALLEN, Texas — A South Texas grand jury has indicted Vice President Dick Cheney and former Attorney General Alberto Gonzales on charges related to the alleged abuse of prisoners in Willacy County's federal detention centers. The indictment criticizes Cheney's investment in the Vanguard Group, which holds interests in the private prison companies running the federal detention centers. It accuses Cheney of a conflict of interest and "at least misdemeanor assaults" on detainees by working through the prison companies." - Steven Perez via Bookmarklet

Trying to figure out what all this "semantic web" stuff is about. I guess I kinda see it. - ♫ Rahsheen™

Instead of saying, "I'm really just a server guy, I don't really know all that stuff," you just answer their questions and satisfy their requirements. I'm not ever going to say again that I'm not really a web developer. I can do all that too now but I'm guessing most teams will find out that I know tons more about the server side... ("all that" not including design - I'll still say I'm not a designer). - Tad, Fool

Johnny, so do I! - Mark Wilson

Tad & Akiva - this is the exact move I made just over a year ago. I went from IT Manager (dealing with IT support, servers, etc) to Web Development. Best move I've ever made. - Justin Korn

This is pretty slick. Do you think Chrome's ability to do this pushed Firefox to step their game up? I'd like to think that's the point of Chrome... - ♫ Rahsheen™ via Bookmarklet

Good point, Rahseen. I'm not downloading until it's out of beta though, I've always had issues with beta versions of FF, but this is definitely one of the things I've been looking for in FF after I saw it in Chrome...which I'm using right now :) - ♣genieyclo♣

I'd be using Chrome, but I'm on Linux and I heard support is spotty. - ♫ Rahsheen™

Just wait awhile, and the cheap crap you paid too much for will come back...but this time it will be even more expensive than before. How's that for consumerism? - Fleagle

For me, that would be anything from Crystal Waters. At one time, Gypsy Woman and 100% Pure Love were high on the list. I just deleted them from iTunes after years of skipping them. - Louis Gray

Finally got rid of the earworm, and thought of one. Right Said Fred's "I'm Too Sexy" - Cyndy

Louis, usually every sony I like :) I have a bad habit of looping... Like, playing the song 100 - 200 times ...again and again ... eventually the magic wears off and I start hating the song :))) - Alemsah

Never heard of this service...I'll have to give it a try - Justin Korn

Om nom nom for me, too, Tad. - Derrick

"ABC News' Teddy Davis and Arnab Datta Report: ABC News has learned that Delaware's newly elected Democratic governor is planning to take the oath of office at 12:01 a.m. ET on Jan. 20, 2009, making it possible for him to name Vice President-elect Joe Biden's replacement to the United States Senate. Whether Governor-elect Jack Markell (D) gets to name Biden's Senate replacement will ultimately turn on whether the Vice President-elect makes good on his stated intention to wait until the moment he becomes Vice President to resign from the U.S. Senate. Delaware law provides that when a U.S. senator resigns before the end of his term, the state's governor appoints a replacement who remains in office until the next election which, in this case, is 2010." - Kathleen Anderson via Bookmarklet

I did a simpler version of this and it gave me reason to quit my last job. Just wasn't worth it. I think I was breaking even...LOL. - ♫ Rahsheen™ via Bookmarklet

...I know...that's sad :( - ♫ Rahsheen™

Ah...so this move is an upgrade of sorts? Ok. I can roll with that. - ♫ Rahsheen™ via Bookmarklet

It's become my "private" journal. That, and the Confessions room here at FF. :P - Helen Sventitsky

I just use it for OpenID. I posts to it, but I never actually go there. I guess I keep it around just because.... - ♫ Rahsheen™
