It's pretty nifty - I wonder what messages Kevin's had so far? - WoH: Professor MOTHRA

I wonder if someone could get a job by sending their resume? - Gimminy

That's pretty cool. - Heather

:) Yay! - Anne Bouey

I wonder if Kevin can guess which of the many lines printed is the one I submitted. - Stephen Mack #TeamMomo from iPhone

That's cool. - Rodfather

Stephen, was it "I just typed this / And this is crazy / But here's my input / So print me maybe?" - Kevin Fox

That's amazing Kevin! - AJ Batac

Kevin, great job guessing correctly. :) - Stephen Mack #TeamMomo

I can't wait to see the printout(s). - Julian

Now you need to guess the senders and match each with the correct message. :) - Anne Bouey

Printed! - Laura Norvig

Pretty sure that's one of the coolest things I have seen all day. And I saw some pretty cool things today. - Josh Haley

Sweet. - Micah

Tiny printer is at Maker Faire! Send us messages!! http://fury.com/imp... - Rachel Lea Fox from iPhone

I love looking at my home theater rack, but I hate crawling around behind it. - Eric - seven eleven

OH GOD YES CHRISTO. - Kevin Fox

16GB ~= 2 hours of 19Mbps HD video (i.e. broadcast HD). But I like where you're going with this. :) - Steve and 4 other people

Consumers can get 64GB flash drive for $35; I bet TiVo could probably get it much lower. No reason to skimp with just 16GB, this isn't 2003. - Gimminy

*listening* - Stephen Mack #TeamMomo

Could flash, even SLC flash, stand up to the rewrite cycles of a DVR? Wouldn't you be better off with an iPod classic size HD? I really doubt the HD (even with cooling) keeps the box as big as it is. - Andrew C (✓)

http://www.storagesearch.com/ssd-slc... - SLC rated for 100K write cycles, MLC for 3K write cycles. So back of envelope, 64 GB of flash MLC would be good for 3 years before crapping out if you've got the box recording 24/7, but SLC would last long enough. - Andrew C (✓)

I have 250GB in my DVRs, and it's not enough. OTOH, high-capacity DVRs are a form of lock-in with the provider (and its antiquated hardware model). - Tinfoil 2.0

OTOH, everything is available as streaming, so why have any local storage at all? - Steve and 4 other people

Not legally. Not at any price. And many (most?) people don' have the bandwidth or caps necesary for all-streaming, all the time. - Tinfoil 2.0

Steve, huh? Who tosses around uncompressed HD? Most HD is closer to a gig an hour. - Kevin Fox from iPhone

"uncompressed" HD comes right off the cable or antenna, so TiVo-style. The 1G/hr stuff is what you find on teh internetz. Or, are you thinking "download & play" for this thing? - Steve and 4 other people

Based on the specs for the TiVo premiere (500 GB, 75 hours of HD advertised), they're running at ~6.7 GB an hour. So 16 GB would give you ~2.4 hours. Probably couldn't get everything you need to transcode to something like h.264/h.265 in a Roku-sized box. It would take forever to do it, too (definitely not on the fly). - Mark Trapp

The TiVo Stream encodes HD video down to 1.2gigs an hour in realtime. It doesn't take a big box to house and feed an mpeg encoder chip. - Kevin Fox

The HD video I get off comcast is pretty highly compressed. The only place you'll find uncompressed HD is OTA, which is why the latest TiVos *only* write bytestreams from cablecards, so they don't do any compression themselves. - Kevin Fox

That's true: I wonder why Tivo advertises such conservative storage capacities, then. If it's as densely packed as the 2nd gen Apple TV, it doesn't look like you'd be able to fit the cable card housing inside a Roku-sized box, but you'd have room to spare in a 1st-gen Apple TV/Mac Mini sized box. Still much smaller than a traditional Tivo/set top box. - Mark Trapp

True, and instead of onboard flash you could have a microSD card slot like the Roku has. Granted, companies like to get high margins on high capacity boxes, but they could just sell it with 8gb flash and bundle a 64gb microSD for a good amount of storage. - Kevin Fox

Mostly, I just think the full-sized TiVo isn't a good fit for dorm rooms. It's not bedroom friendly due to size and fan, which is why they made the TiVo Mini, but that's just a slave device to a full TiVo. A small standalone box without a spinning disk or fan is very appealing. - Kevin Fox

A 1.8" disk might not need a cooling fan. - Andrew C (✓)

1.8" is interesting. I'd be a little worried about their MTBF if they're always reading and writing, and I'm not sure if you'd get much of a price savings over flash for ~160GB, but it's possible. Heck, Apple still sells 160GB 1.8" HD iPod Classics. - Kevin Fox

What's a couple fortnights among friends, right? - Micah from FFHound(roid)!

Electric Imp, and too many social services. - Kevin Fox

It still does. The people just do it remotely and don't have any official credential to do so. - Kevin Fox

It means "best of month" really was worth implementing. - Bruce Lewis

If it were me, I'd try to end the list there. - Stephen Mack #TeamMomo

Turns out I enjoy making lists! Who knew? - Kevin Fox

I'm trying a few, see what works for me. - Kevin Fox

#39 build and design a new kick ass photo sharing site. - Thomas Hawk

So item #1 is write more lists? - WoH: Professor MOTHRA

i totally agree,, very true, reminds me of my grandmothers` list!!, endless - sarah

I have no recollection of this list, what was on it, or how many I got to. - Kevin Fox

Success! - WoH: Professor MOTHRA

You know how I knew this was an old post? Thomas Hawk commented. - Spidra Webster

So, after a month off, did you finally finish it, Kevin? - WoH: Professor MOTHRA

Me - Jennifer Dittrich

I would be if I hadn't taken this week off due to my kids' school shutting down for winter break. - Stephen Mack #TeamMomo from iPhone

I think Cristo is attempting to stage an acquisition, so that he can finally add a screensaver. #rumor - Gimminy

Hmm, maybe you can buy transparency futures? - Micah from Android

Micah, transparency prospects look opaque. - Stephen Mack #TeamMomo from iPhone

When was this one used? - Gimminy

Unfortunately, no one can be told when this was used. You have to experience it for yourself. - Stephen Mack #TeamMomo

Oh wow. - Micah

If I recall correctly, some of the Japanese says, "Hanging with Ana. Not really enjoying myself." - Kevin Fox from iPhone

I voluntarily gave that a kudo. - Brian Johns

Yay! - Kevin Fox

As a short term workaround until you prune who you follow, how about mass hiding a bunch of services like twitter unless there's a comment or like? - Stephen Mack #TeamMomo from iPhone

It's in the API, so it can be done 3rd party. - Gimminy

Yeah, the API may be the way to go. I don't wanna miss stuff from some important people. - Kevin Fox

I thought all the important ppl left? - WoH: Professor MOTHRA

"all the important ppl left" is not a valid display name - Woman and Unwoman

The hell, you say. ;) - Gimminy

:P - WoH: Professor MOTHRA

Is there a Google+ community called "Important People Who Left FriendFeed" for Important People Who Left FriendFeed? - Jkram|ɯɐɹʞſ

I'M STILL HERE. - Headless Gnad Kicker

I have a tool to find your friends whose entries you don't like or comment: http://kapranoff.ru/cgi.... I use it regularly to weed out subscriptions. - Alex Kapranoff

@kkapp now you have to translate the interface, or they would not know that the first form is for your frf nick and the second asks for remotekey in case of private feeds - Woman and Unwoman

hide + "hide other items like this one" has served that purpose well for me - Ken Sheppardson

On a sidenote, deja vu: Google+ just added Communities. Friendfeed is in my personal apps hall of fame for the best usability & tech. - Philipp Lenssen

I stayed sane only by hiding all tweets unless they have comments. - Amit Patel

I've got an AR.Drone. I may totally do that. - Kevin Fox

Wait, doesn't Ben live in the server room? Someone should warn him. They'd need to go in, he won't hear the phone if he's on the treadmill that charges the batteries. - Le Slip Anglais from Android

What if we just watch via Google Maps? http://goo.gl/maps/JLGeI - Stephen Mack #TeamMomo

I hope Eye-Fi moves out first, or they're gonna have a really bad day that day. (They do have a new site, and a moving date planned, so don't worry.) - Brian Johns

Make sure you zoom in uncomfortably close on the Indian (Native American) man standing to the side so you can see the tear drop from his eye. - Josh Haley

Did we miss our chance to light the building on fire that was stuffed to the brim with wood tables and cardboard boxes? http://goo.gl/maps/r52uf - Ross Miller

I think we did, Ross... - Kevin Fox

Looks like they might be building condos or apartments. You guys could go in with the Evernote and EyeFi folks to get a unit and turn it into a museum... - Ken Sheppardson

Nice. happy accidents - Laura Norvig

interesting, though, that your teachers didn't flat out say, "I can't write you a recommendation that is going to do you any good." - Laura Norvig

Yep. That would have been a nicer way for them to handle it. I did have other teachers I could have gone to, but I was idealistic and felt a recommendation from someone who knew me better would be better than one from someone who would write a generally positive recommendation. - Kevin Fox

Will you send this post to your teachers? :) - Ahmet Yükseltürk

My next choices would have been my Physics teacher who knew I was brilliant (I was better at Physics in high school than I was at anything else) but whose class I didn't do *any* assignments, since assignments were 10% of our grade and tests were 90%. The tests had extra credit, so as long as I scored more than 100% on the test I'd skip the next assignment. Then two weeks before the end... more... - Kevin Fox

Ahmet, after I graduated they got married and started a family a few years later, and one of them passed away a few years after that. He had a chronic illness for a long time, and I figure his widow and their daughter have enough going on in their lives without me giving them a backhanded compliment. :-) - Kevin Fox

You were a horrible procrastinator in high school? I was one of the best. - Brian Johns

badum-bum - Kevin Fox

Good read. Glad it worked out in the long run. I'm sure I would have demanded to see what they wrote after I got 6 rejection letters... - Ken Gidley
