My last Twitter thought... People now have businesses based on Twitter being up (iPhone apps and such) and Google and Bing are now paying coin for the fire hose. How long until the reliability of Twitter becomes an issue?
fail-whale (1).png
I believe the reliability of Twitter will improve to a level that it will no longer be an issue. Twitter is maturing and the Fail Whale may someday be a relic, or just during "scheduled" maintenance. - Louis Gray
Louis, that very well may be true, but a year ago not a few people thought the problem would be fossilized by a year later, and here we are :) - Micah Wittman
since it's free, they have a lot of time. - Mike Nencetti
I wonder if the Google and Bing relationships included a service level agreement of some kind. I'd also like to see if Google and Bing are getting the same reliability levels as the freebie users; in most enterprises, paying customers would get priority access to server resources. - Kevin Shaum
Wasn't the parting of ways with Blaine Cook ( a year and a half ago) supposed to signal the end to their problems (at least that was the story at the time) -- it seems the problem was elsewhere and still exists. - Brian Sullivan
I am not attempting to sound naive. I talked with Ryan Sarver today, their Director of Platform, at LeWeb, and it was a good discussion. Twitter is growing up. It doesn't have to be my favorite, but it is a utility, and one that is funded well, and has sharp execs. The company is learning how to scale. Despite the occasional whale (like I got today), it's miles ahead of 2008. Understand my lack of favorable bias. :) - Louis Gray
Well I'm glad they are improving their platform. I wish them no harm and would hate to see them get all lawyer'd over reliability. - Johnny Worthington
The reliability would have been much less of an issue if we had multiple interoperable microblogging services. Email is reliable enough to base a business on. Do you think this would have been the case if the only email service available was, say, compuserve? - Yaniv Golan
I would hope most serious businesses don't use Twitter or Gmail as their sole source of communication. I'm already wary of having Gmail check my other mail accounts as IMAP for the same reason (people panic when Gmail goes offline for a couple hours). Should any company with more than a handful of employees be using free social networking sites to base their communications on? - Ken & Kiyomi

Akiva Moskovitz
Up was fantastic. Wall•E was better.
Nope - Alex Scoble
Oh, the opinion of a console juggalo. Worthless. - Akiva Moskovitz
I loved Up. Wall-E? Not so much. - Derrick
Wow. You people are clearly on some kind of Mexican drugs. - Akiva Moskovitz
I didn't love either one. (grumpy face) - Louis Gray
Good grief, Louis. What does it take for you to be entertained? - Akiva Moskovitz
Wall-E lost me when the plot actually kicked in. - Jon, the Beartato of FF
Louis, did you love Monsters, Inc.? - joey
A man who doesn't even play video games calling my opinion worthless? Rating Wall-E better than Up is crazysauce! - Alex Scoble
What Jon said. I loved Wall-E and Eve as characters, but the story wasn't my style. I love Up. - Derrick
Alex, you speak and act like a child. I cannot tolerate you. Go away. - Akiva Moskovitz
Well, they both made me cry but that's just because I'm a GIRL. - Rochelle
Rochelle, me too. Up made me cry the most, though. In the theatre. Behind my 3D glasses. - joey
Good grief, Akiva. :) I used the word "love". I thought Incredibles was better. Monsters, Inc. was good. I didn't love Up as I thought it was too dark and slow. Wall*E was good but only worth seeing once. - Louis Gray
Up was the closest I've gotten to crying since Where the Red Fern Grows. - Jon, the Beartato of FF
I still haven't seen Incredibles, sadly. I need to do that! And I finally saw Cars the other week. - joey
Oh, good gravy, Gray. Incredibles was like Joe Versus the Volcano. The first act was great; the rest was rubbish. I am scoffing! LOOK AT ME SCOFF. - Akiva Moskovitz
SCOFF THIS. I AM DELETING MY ACCOUNT. (Can we replay that? I missed it yesterday) - Louis Gray
Oh yeah, Cars was lame too. Bring it on. - Louis Gray
LOUIS, I HUG THEE. - Akiva Moskovitz
I've watched Wall•E at least half a dozen times. Parts of it are dumb, yes, but most of it is wonderful. - Glen Mistletoe
Akiva, judging from the way you write you are less mature than a poopy diaper and thusly unable to properly opine on anything. - Alex Scoble
Cars was awesomesauce, Louis...You take that comment back! - Alex Scoble
Alex, you ignorant slut—never mind; I've just been wanting to say that for a while. - Glen Mistletoe
HAY EVERYONE. ALEX IS A VERGEN. - Akiva Moskovitz
POINT AND LAUGH APPROPRIATELY. HAVE YOU SEEN HIS HAIR? TOTAL VERGEN. - Akiva Moskovitz
I didn't really like Cars all that much and I'm not sure why my nephew is so obsessed with it. He should be obsessed with Monsters, Inc. - joey
Akiva hasn't even seen Cars. - Rochelle

You haven't seen Cars and you dare opine about Pixar movies? *BLOCKED* - Alex Scoble
Akiva knows Pixar so well, he thinks Shrek was the best movie they ever released. SHREK! - Louis Gray
I WANT TO DRIVE DERRICK ALL NIGHT LONG. [cupcake face] - Akiva Moskovitz
I haven't seen Cars, either. The trailer must not have been motivational. - Glen Mistletoe
A gnat's opinion weighs more than Akiva's when it comes to Pixar movies! - Alex Scoble
I've never seen Kung Fu Panda. - Jon, the Beartato of FF
Alex is morbidly obese. - Akiva Moskovitz
:( I've never seen Kung Fu Panda, either. - Glen Mistletoe
GIVE ME BACK MY SELF-IMAGE - Glen Mistletoe
And let me just say this: Cars:Pixar::Killer's Kiss:Kubrick. - Akiva Moskovitz
hand job - Steve
Stop it now, Akiva. We both know that "morbidly obese" is one of Alex's brother's vanity searches. Do you want him here in this thread? - Louis Gray
HOW DARE YOU STEVE. I AM DELETING MY FRIENDFEDD ACCOUTNGlksBb - Akiva Moskovitz

*dead*resurrected*deadAGAIN* - Akiva Moskovitz
oops, I'm back - Jon, the Beartato of FF
LOL I love how Akiva's is resorting to making stuff up about me now. And Akiva, your opinion means less than that of a person who owns Bose now. Dissing Cars is just wrong...it had Michael Schumacher in it...SCHUMACHER! - Alex Scoble
JON'S A FURRY - Akiva Moskovitz
SHUT UP JON, PREP FOR YOUR INTERVIEW. - Derrick
Why are you calling me ugly?! - Jon, the Beartato of FF

Wait...post what? - Jon, the Beartato of FF
Oooooh....*light bulb* - Jon, the Beartato of FF
whoa, I ain't even seen Up yet and I'm kinda doubting that. - Richard Lawler
I agree with the original sentiment. I mean, I loved Up, and it was really touching, but dang if I don't have a soft spot for cute little robots... :) - Cheryl Jones
I loved the robots in Wall-E, it was the people I had a problem with. - Derrick

Can I just say that I'm shocked, SHOCKED I SAY, that no one was blocked over this kerfluffle. - Alex Scoble
Which one?? That harvey didin't see Wall-e?? Or that Akiva likes Wall-e better?? - Roberto Bonini
I'm shocked that this sort of mob-mentality, non-tech-related drivel is ALLOWED! YOU ARE KILLING THE GOLDEN GOOSE WITHYOURSOFTHUMANBRAINS! - WorldofHiglet
I'm sorry dave, I can't do that.... - Roberto Bonini
The first 30 minutes of Wall-E were brilliant... apparently, the director had his team watch Chaplin, Harold Lloyd and Buster Keaton to get it right. And the sound effects are insanely good. - T. Brent, technopeasant
"Up" was better... :o) never cried to an animated movie before, - i did to this.. - Jeannette Høvring
I liked Wall-E a *lot* on first viewing it the theater. Now that we have it on DVD and have watched it a dozen or so times with out toddler, I find the first dialogue-less segment fantastic, and the rest of the movie lackluster and cliche. Oh, but it still blows the socks off "Cars" - Steve "Daddy do it!" Lacy
I was going to leave a standard comment about Wall-E being slightly better than Up, though they're both pretty awesome, but instead I opened up the full thread and I'm backing away... slowly... *retreats into sketchbook* - Kamilah Gill
Hell no. Up was much better then Wall-E. - Jason Huebel
YOU ARE WRONG - Akiva Moskovitz

How Superman Defeated The Ku Klux Klan - Superman - io9
"Almost too weird to believe: writer Stetson Kennedy infiltrated the KKK in the late 1940s, and learned the powerful organization's secrets — but nobody would publish them. Meanwhile, the Superman radio program needed a villain to replace the Nazis. According to Mental Floss Magazine, Kennedy managed to work all of the Ku Klux Klan's most secret recruiting and organizational practices into his 1940s radio serial, "Clan Of The Fiery Cross." And as a result, the Man Of Steel dealt a crushing blow to the racist organization: As the storyline progressed, the shows exposed many of the KKK's most guarded secrets. By revealing everything from code words to rituals, the program completely stripped the Klan of its mystique. Within two weeks of the broadcast, KKK recruitment was down to zero. And by 1948, people were showing up to Klan rallies just to mock them." - RAPatton from Bookmarklet
Is it incorrect to infer that recruitment went down as protections to secrecy were dismantled? - MASTER OF THE OBVIOUS
I think that is what the author holds to be true. - RAPatton
It's a true story - the Klan arc on the Superman radio serial went nationwide when the show was very popular. The KKK was outraged that some of its closest secrets were being divulged to children in an afternoon radio serial. - Bill Sodeman
That's really cool. - Toby Graham
@RAP... I find that a bit disturbing and disappointing. People will participate in all manner of foolishness and base behavior under cover of darkness. Perhaps it's naive to think otherwise. - MASTER OF THE OBVIOUS
Barry, many people behave differently when they think there are no repercussions, just glance at the Internet - RAPatton from iPhone

Lindsey is Fierce!
I was talking to a friend recently about how a lot of women (including myself) let pictures of beautiful women (super models and celebrities) make them feel bad, inadequate and insecure. Essentially the most interesting points were that just because I say I like X doesn't mean I don't like Y. A lot of women like to take the statement, "I like X"...
funny-pictures-hedgehog-looks-pretty-sharp-today.jpg
. . . to mean that I don't like Y so they can feel bad about themselves. It's completely self-inflicted. But if I say I like Y, they never believe you. And as I was having this discussion, I realized how absurd my behavior was. Obviously I can like more than one thing, why can't men? In fact they do. Most men will tell you they like many different kinds of women. Sure they have some preferences but they are also capable of appreciating beauty in many forms. There are some men who subscribe to the belief that only super skinny women are beautiful but that's far from a majority. I've had people tell me that I'm beautiful but I refused to believe them. Why? Cause it's easier to believe the negative? Do I just want to have a pity party? Why can't I just take the compliment? After seeing it this way I feel like a weight has been lifted from my shoulders. - Lindsey is Fierce!
As @RAPatton mentions, men go through this too but are much less likely to vocalize it. I've got some extra around the midsection and my wife says she loves the way I look. I often think she's just being nice because why wouldn't she be happier if I was more fit like a male model or fire fighter. I'm sure it's much harder for women with all the crap that's on television making us think we have to look a certain way to be attractive and creating problems we didn't know we had. - Vaughn
A lot of women are trained not to trust men for a variety of reasons. It's a shame really because there are so many decent men out there that they get punished for things they never do. - Lindsey is Fierce!
It's funny because I've dated the spectrum of guys, as far as body type goes, and I've never questioned it. I've had some female friends tell me they wouldn't date an overweight guy but I've always scoffed at that. And yet, on my low moments, I found myself wondering why a guy would like me heavy. When it comes right down to it, I've always been more receptive to attention AND gotten... more... - pea
It's just strange how we make ourselves feel bad for no reason and we refuse to make ourselves feel good even when it's warranted - Lindsey is Fierce!
Strange? No reason? Not really. It doesn't happen by itself. A host of different factors come into why we have skewed views of our bodies. I know exactly where my issues come from, and they were never borne out of magazines or societal views on what the ideal woman is, which is why I don't have the same reaction other women do to all the beautiful women posts. I take those for what they... more... - pea

I'm glad you liked it Shevonne :) - Lindsey is Fierce!
Great post, Lindsey!!! And, pea, on your last comment, ditto, babe. <3 - Anna Haro
Really good post. I think one of my issues is that I try not to think about it. Thinking about it usually just leads to feeling bad, but really slogging your way through what specific things trigger the negative feelings is the only thing that can sort them out. I've rarely ever felt like I could talk about my body issues because I'm underweight (aka the skinny bitch ^_~) I usually get... more... - Heather

I had no idea that USB could provide enough power to heat a soldering iron but someone has figured it out and this USB Soldering Iron from Thanko is living proof.
