How To: Totally Overhaul Your Phones With Google Voice - Google Voice - Gizmodo - http://gizmodo.com/5425039...

@Paul - I installed Microsoft Security Essentials (http://www.microsoft.com/Securit...) on my wife's laptop. So far it has been a big improvement (i.e., seems to work and doesn't trash or slow down the machine) over the several other antivirus products, both commercial and free, we tried before. I'd run it even in a VM'ed instance of Windows, as just booting into a network with other Windows boxes or hitting a few websites can put the VM image at risk (and be a risk to the rest of the network).

My local ISP (Time Warner) DNS server is consistently faster than both Google and OpenDNS. All three are very fast though: ~20ms (local) vs ~30ms (Google and OpenDNS) for google.com, twitter.com, facebook.com, and friendfeed.com. I wonder where the closest Google data center is to me.

- Chris Heath
Chris: Visit something like fdnksalfndkslafnkea.com after setting up OpenDNS. They redirect you to a branded page with ads that earn OpenDNS money. Time Warner does the same thing. Google does not.

thanks, yeah i should have known... my time warner doesn't do that (that i know) i've been on opendns for about a year

guess i'll give google a try... do you know when they started the public dns?? must be new... i just saw a digg.com submission hit their front page pointing to that same google code link
- Chris Heath
So I won't be using Google or OpenDNS instead of my ISP DNS. But I will use Google DNS when I travel. I've found that most wifi hotspots are slow because of DNS and switching to OpenDNS in the past has helped a lot. The only reason I see to use Google instead is the IP address is way easier to remember :)
- Benjamin Golub
Yeah, over the last couple years i've committed the opendns server ips to memory, but the google ips are super duper easy to remember - I assume you're staying with your isp because they're faster, right?
- Chris Heath
Confirmation: 209.18.47.61 is my local DNS http://chart.apis.google.com/chart.... via http://code.google.com/p...
- Benjamin Golub
Well uh, yeah... Your local isp is physically WAY closer and thus able to receive your dns queries and send back a response in less time... Unless the dns server itself is overloaded, or it's implementation of dns is less efficient than google's or opendns- (in which case processing your request might take longer), there is almost NO chance that a more distant dns server will ever resolve queries to common domains like the ones you tried.
- LarchOye
Larch: http://code.google.com/p... tries a lot more than jus those common domains. Anyway the reason I tested this is a lot of people changed to Google or OpenDNS just because it's supposed to be faster. I'll be in SF later this week; I'm guessing it will do much better :)

"As the ecosystem of devices proliferates, with the iPhone and Android platforms coming into their own (along with the ever-impending iTablet), we’re seeing a single feature become the most important and critical piece of new technology: syncing. If you sync seamlessly across devices, people will love you for it. It’s why I love the Apple ecosystem. I add a calendar event to my desktop, iPhone, or web app, and it automagically appears on the others. All of my mail is synced in all of these places so I never have to worry about missing email or knowing whether I replied or having to delete the same messages over again. The amount of time that this saves is invisible, yet invaluable."

Bee Gees – Stayin' Alive – Free listening at Last.fm - http://www.last.fm/music...
Listen to Bee Gees – Stayin' Alive . Stayin' Alive appears on the album Number Ones. The Gibb brothers were born on the Isle of Man to English parents in 1946 (Barry Alan Crompton Gibb, September 1) and 1949 ( twins Robin Hugh Gibb and Maurice (pronounced "Morris") Ernest Gibb, December 22). The family returned to father Hugh Gibb’s home town of Chorlton-cum-Hardy, Manchester, England in the early 1950s where the boys began to sing in harmony, debuting in public on one memorable occasion at a local cinema. The boys were going to lip sync to a record, which other children had done at the cinema in previous weeks. However, on the way to the cinema, the record was dropped and broken. As a result, the brothers got on stage and sang themselves. They got a very good response from the crowd, which convinced them that singing was what they wanted to do with their lives.

How Facebook's News Feed Failed Me (And My Family) - http://blog.louisgray.com/2009...

Congratulations on being an uncle, Louis! Did your family assume you'd see the Facebook updates and that's why they didn't call? I just can't imagine one of my siblings giving birth without an actual phone call from a relative, but maybe I'm an old fuddy-duddy and my family is not as online as yours is.
- Stephen Mack

- Johnny Worthington
It's an odd thing. Yes, they assumed we would see the FB updates. They also thought it wasn't their news to announce/call everyone (yet FBing was okay). If you remember when we had our twins, we too started with Twitter/FF, but that was due to it being 1 a.m. We called everyone in the morning.
- Louis Gray
found that pouring facebook status updates into Feedly via RSS, and prioritising a 'friends' category (which includes blogs etc) works better than trawling through the live feed, or news feed, or whatever. Not sure if there's a way to RSS photo stories yet, nor profile changes, but notifications and status updates work a treat. But I can imagine the chagrin of having your family deprioritised for you.

sorry to hear about the missed event, but congratulations to you and your family. I'm glad everything worked out well. Btw, I found a little lost kitten...
- Jim Is Not Smart
I've made a Family feed and set it as my default for exactly this reason; they use Facebook for sharing when they feel they *need* to or when something important happens, and so aren't posting every day and it gets lost in the stream of friends', colleagues' and Page updates.
- Andrew Terry
this is exactly why I don't follow thousands on Facebook. My whole stream is valuable to me as a result.
- Bill Kinney
I didn't even know the "news feed" was supposed to gauge relevance or was different than the old wall. I don't get Facebook. I do use lists, that has helped a tiny bit, but my nieces use Facebook so heavily that they still push other Family content off the first page of that list. You didn't actually expect Facebook to perform as well as Friendfeed in this instance, did you?
- Laura Norvig
It doesn't gauge relevance, it gauges interest. Items with more comments and likes and such get pushed to the News Feed. If all you browse is the News Feed, then you're only seeing the highlights. I would have thought this was perfectly clear. The Live Feed is the same as the old News Feed: noisy as hell, just like it was before. I believe the News Feed algorithm also takes into account who you regularly interact with (by liking, leaving comments, etc) and bumps them up the list as well.
- Otto
I recognize the way that Facebook tries to gauge interest. They correctly noted that I had previously ignored my sister's updates, and assumed the latest updates would be similarly irrelevant. The major point is that in the live feed scenario, I would have had multiple opportunities to see the updates, whereas in the news feed scenario, I never did.
- Louis Gray
I would love to be able to select the lists (of friends) that will contribute to my news and live feeds (unselected friend posts would NOT appear). The ability to "tune the noise" of individuals via comments and likes (like friendfeed) would also be extremely helpful.
- Chris Myles
You can bias the feeds more towards certain people. Just go to the bottom of the feed and click Edit Options. On the left hand side of the box is "Show More" with a user dialog in it. Type the name of the person you want to see more of to add them to the more list. The right hand side is a block list, if you want to not see somebody's updates. Blocking somebody blocks them from both feeds. Showing somebody more only seems to apply to the News Feed as far as I can tell.
- Otto
Otto, I have played with those options and they do help.. but the noise still gets through. With block, it's all or nothing, they disappear from ALL lists. I want to block (lists of) people from the primary feeds, but still have them available in other lists, for those (rare) moments when I have extra time.
