Hey, De la Vega! Thanks for helping me make the decision to buy a Droid. http://mashable.com/2009... What a putz.
So AT&Ts response to their high tier customers is "stop using what you paid for"? Stupid. - Khürt Williams

The new JooJoo is dead on arrival. $499 price is too high. Leaving the drama between it and @arrington aside, that alone will make this fail
not even interesting with $499 price point... - Tahir Zaimoglu
Just a little more patience for the Apple iTablet/iPad (iWhatever) ... sure, price tag will be $699 - 849 but you will get what you pay for and it will blow all other tablets away immediately. Don´t cry Arrington. - HansVanRock
Pricing mentioned earlier was always delusional. - Brian Sullivan
JooJoo sounds like the name of a candy. - Beau Liening from iPhone
Bad juju will ensure for JooJoo. - Khürt Williams
LOL. You beat me too it! - Zachary TG
hmm ipad selling higher price! via Apple 4 sure! Unless cutting parts - polou/indigo_bow

Apple Reportedly Acquired Lala for $80 Million
"This certainly paints a picture of a future version of iTunes that supports streaming music." - Murat Ozoral from Bookmarklet
Perhaps Apple will use Lala to drive traffic to the iTunes store. Imagine discovering a song on Lala, paying 10c to listen to it, then later paying the full price on Lala.com. You go home and fire up iTunes and the song downloads to your computer. Or buying a song on iTunes and have it added to your Lala.com library. With a Lala iPhone app you could possibly stream your entire iTunes collection to your device. - Khürt Williams

Wouldn't naming a product JooJoo be bad juju? And how do you shorten? "This is my Jew"? Really? Maybe they should have called it JarJar...
JooJ. - Rochelle
Crunchpad was marginally better - but just marginally. - Brian Sullivan
'JuJu' has a bit of an odd meaning in Mandarin. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki... - Andrew Leyden

What I don't understand is why no one is talking about StumbleUpon. Nowhere do they tell their users that they are slipping in ads, but one out five pages smell an awful lot like payola. No where on the page does it say that company X is sponsoring that hit, they just try and pretend like it social content that's been recommended by people with similar interests. This seems a lot more deceptive to me than most conflicts of interest - Davis Freeberg
Cool. Would be awesome if we could dynamically add them to a post based on tags :) - Roberto Bonini

I've gotten a free book before but I want to level up to "some sweet gadgets"! - Rochelle
Awesome. But where is "writer is friends on FriendFeed"? - DeWitt Clinton
DeWitt, I assume we could have made 20 of these. But Jeannine is too good to be free! She got Mad Scrilla for this work. :) I would have added advisory roles and social networking buds, real life buds, friends of a friend, blah blah blah. - Louis Gray
Louis++ for "Mad Scrilla" LOL! - Rahsheen ™, Coach Rah
Davis - there's an icon for sponsored links on the FF and IE toolbars that looks like a dollar sign (at least the last time I used it). Disclosure: I worked on the IE toolbar and put that feature in (to reach feature parity with the Firefox toolbar). - Matt Mastracci
Louis, these are fabulous. Although, Full Disclosure: The FTC has no jurisdiction where I live :) - Micah Wittman
LOL. ... love "mad scrilla" heee! - Jenna Bilotta
These are great but there is one missing for when you are promoting your own products or services in a review. - April Russo (app103)

@SusannahFox Twitter's RTs are a bit confusing. I don't like not being able to add my 2cents before an RT.
I agree about the way the web client handles retweets. They also do not show up in my Twitter client (TweetDeck). - Khürt Williams

Apple And Android Now Make Up 75 Percent Of U.S. Smartphone Web Traffic - http://www.techcrunch.com/2009...
Wow! That's huge. RIM, Palm, and Nokia must be quaking in their proverbial boots. Will we see a market develop around Android on the low-end and iPhone OS on the high end or do you predict Android everywhere? How will the OS fragmentation (new phones are shipping with 1.5,1.6 and 2.0 versions of Android) affect the user experience? - Khürt Williams

"In his “Apple’s mistake” essay Paul Graham makes an unwarranted assumption; an assumption everybody who’s currently involved in the Great App Store Debate seems to be making." - Itachi from Bookmarklet
"Fuck those condescending, ignorant, self-important, stupid, blind, fearful pricks. Fuck them real hard. Where it hurts. And fucking them real hard where it hurts is exactly what Apple is doing right now." - Itachi
so the developers of an app that used an API call to return a machine image - created for developers to use by apple themselves in OSX - had their iphone app update (they had already had a v1 app with this already in it approved) blocked because it "looked too much like apple software" were at fault? Apple doing no wrong here? This left users of their software with a known bug and no... more... - alphaxion
I gotta ask, where on earth did this erronious "Apple does no wrong" meme come from? And this isn't the odd developer here and there complaining, there's quite a number suffering similar problems with Apple being bi-polar in its authorising procedure. Also, speak to the guys who had ipint removed from the store because Guinness wanted to launch their own, or what about the iboobs app... more... - alphaxion
The problem is not the idea of an app store. The problem is not with the concept of an approvals process either. The problem is with the way Apple are managing the approvals process. Apple needs to have clear guidelines for what can and cannot be approved. Apple needs to have a clear arbitration process for apps that fall in the gray areas. Apple cannot have a double standard with app... more... - Roberto Bonini from iPhone
@roberto aye, I wish people would stop banging on about how the web is where all our apps should be. I own an iphone, and I'm extremely happy it has support for local apps as you can't be on the net 24/7 and the speed of it simply isn't enough at times. Imagine you're in a hospital waiting room. You have been asked to turn off your mobile and there is a total lack of anything... more... - alphaxion
How many iPhone app developers have a problem with app approval process compared to the number of apps available in the app store? Is this a problem of the vocal minority? - Khürt Williams
considering the Facebook app makers and Rogue Amoeba have called it quits with iphone app development, I'd say this problem is very real. - alphaxion
oh, and have you seen the majority of the apps on the store? cloned drek for the most part with decent and innovative apps far and few between. - alphaxion
Alpha - i agree that good apps are few and far between (I rely on reccomendations instead of simply searching). But I'd rather have too many apps to choose from than too few. For twitter alone i've got four iPhone apps. - Roberto Bonini
Khurt - the problem is very very real. I'm not an iPhone dev, but I feel for my fellow programmers who are. - Roberto Bonini
Here is the link to my post on the matter ( done a few weeks ago, tho) http://rbonini.wordpress.com/2009... - Roberto Bonini
oh, I didn't say the number of apps itself was an issue... I merely stated that a good chunk of them shouldn't really have passed the approval process due to being drek or outright clones. It contrasts with decent apps that have problems getting out due to the poor system currently in place - I have a friend who submitted his game to them and had a few issues with getting it out of the doors. - alphaxion
Oh, yeah, definately. Didin't apple kick a dev off a few months ago for making 500 apps that had somthing to do with junk rss or something. - Roberto Bonini

This is cool mate. Can I just ask, are you dual posting to there and elsewhere, or dedicated content for the FB page? Also, what made you think about doing an FB page? Just interested, no hidden agenda. - Keith Bennett from BuddyFeed
Trying to keep the dual posting to a minimum. I have a couple people over there that don't frequent FF so I thought It'd be a nice way to get some more commentary going. - Joshua Schnell

Does anyone have a good suggestion for a video screen capture for a Mac, currently using Jing but finding it too limiting. Doesn't have to be free, but not too expensive?

If you have Snow Leopard you can use QuickTime screen capture for free. - Khürt Williams
If you're open to a web-based option, I've used screenr.com (with my Macbook) recently - it did the basic job just fine for me. See my vid embedded here: http://translatorize.googlecode.com/hg... - Micah Wittman
