My D2D post on the Mini 12 going away (and the Mini 9 re-appearing for now): http://en.community.dell.com/blogs...
Waiting for my comment on TechCrunch to show.. Discontinuing the Mini 12 has nothing to do with Intel.

Very sad, how young. Ferris Bueller is our most quoted movie.

I used the gummy bears line at the end of Ferris Bueller's Day Off to hit on my wife the night we might. Think party, big bowls of gummy bears, three girls and me. Two girls thought I was a freak. One didn't. Guess which one I married? :)

@Sydney I rather like FriendFeed, there's just more people on Twitter for me, it drives WAY more traffic, and it's RARE good discussions evolve here from anyone other than POWER users.
- Ryan Stephens
love how we all pop over here when twitter is down ;)
- Kate
Ryan: how do you have discussions on twitter? I'll agree that they are rare.
- Johnny
What's up with twitter? Nothing. :-)
- Panayotis Vryonis
Johnny: I have more discussions b/c my friends engage more there...of course harder to follow and usually include only 2-4 people. I LOVE the threaded comments here, provided a group of intelligent people were chatting, but how often does that happen? Sometimes with people like Scoble, Owyang and Louis Gray? (that's been my experience anyway.)
- Ryan Stephens
Ryan: I don't think it's fair to assume that there is a lack of intelligent conversation on friendfeed, especially with your 12 comments and 2 likes which tells me you've never really tried it out.
- Johnny
I was not fully awake trying to bring up the Twitter page. Good to know it wasn't just me.
- RuthNH
Ryan: I'd be happy to build you a list of friendfeed users and send them to you later today

@johnny I'd love to see that list, I'm going to sit down with friendfeed this weekend and figure it out
- Sydney Owen
Well, you mean in general or just the current outage? ;)
- Mads Kristiansen
Sydney: Subscribe to Kol (http://friendfeed.com/koltreg...) He is a very active user on friendfeed and already has a recommendation list. I'd be happy to create an additional one for you as well.
- Johnny
.. Scoble must have run his script again, I guess.. ;)
- Mads Kristiansen
Johnny: That's completely fair. I've lurked a lot & have read a lot of Louis Gray's, Scoble's and Valeria Maltoni's insights with respect to FriendFeed. You're right, maybe I'm not following the right people. And I didn't necessarily mean to imply there was a lack of intelligent conversation. It's just rare that I've seen these discussions develop from anyone's comments aside from a few power users. I'd be grateful for a list of users.
- Ryan Stephens
A social networking coup?
- Melissa Pierce
I heard from someone that Twitter doesn't even know why it's down.
- Paul Chaney
Ryan: I'll subscribe to you and get you a list in the near future. This conversation that you are engaging in right now happens with the majority of users (not just power users).

Great movie. Is the Media Center PC in your living room? If not, how are you transferring the Blu-ray HD video?
- LionelatDell
Yes the Media Center PC is in my living room connected to my 42" LCD HDTV. I put a Blu-ray drive I picked up for $89 a few months ago into the PC and am using WinDVD currently to play Blu-ray movies. The PC is smart enough so that if I pop in a regular DVD - it plays it via Windows Media Center. If I pop in a Blu-ray DVD it will play in WinDVD. I have read about ways to get Blu-ray to play directly within Windows Media Center but have not tried yet.

"Mihai: I delete tons of spam on my blog. I can keep up with a very high level, believe me. And it's far easier to delete spam on friendfeed than it is on my blog (it takes fewer clicks). Plus, my blog gets a lot of spam because it's easy to post a comment anonymously. That's impossible to do on friendfeed (you need a verified email account). You can't delete comments on someone else's node, but I can delete comments underneath MY node (and you can delete comments under yours). This actually works very effectively because most of us are self interested and want to make sure we present a clean room, which is why I delete spam off of my blog. If you actually used friendfeed (your statements here make me believe you don't) you'd see that friendfeed is 100x more resistant to spam than Twitter is."

FriendFeed is for WINNERS! FriendFeed Launches Simplified New User Interface - http://thomashawk.com/2009...

TechCrunch broke the embargo. Here's my review on the new FriendFeed interface.
- Thomas Hawk
At 9 a.m. this morning, FriendFeed launched a new user interface at beta.friendfeed.com. The new beta site will run in parallel with the current version of FriendFeed at friendfeed.com at least for a while. The biggest difference between the old version of FriendFeed and the new version is the introduction of live scrolling updates. I had early access to the new beta site over the weekend and spent some time playing around with it. Here are my initial thoughts.
- Thomas Hawk
Look at all the pretty pictures! I see..... something...... wonderful :-)
- Brian Daniel Eisenberg
Love it. The new one is quite simple, straight forward, and good looking.
- David H. Chu
Chris: it's 9 a.m. somewhere in the world.
- Robert Scoble
I like it, it feels a lot cleaner.
- Davis Freeberg
Thomas, I wonder how you feel about FriendFeed as an RSS reader now. What in the world do you do to catch up on information when you're not in front of the computer 24/7?
- Kevin Kuphal
Unfortunately TechCrunch broke the embargo which makes the news fair game at this point. I wish they'd kept it until 9am. Seems like a fairer way to deal with things and it would have been better to have FF beta launch at the same time. Hopefully they launch the new beta before 9am now.
- Thomas Hawk
Twitter should be afraid
- Nation Hahn
I've been playing with it for the past day and really love it.
- Thomas Hawk
Love the auto-scroll feature. Really dug it when Twitter did it during the elections. Was hoping we'd see that implemented on Twitter or elsewhere.
- LionelatDell
They seem to have a habit of doing that just to get their story in before everyone else...
- Nancy M.
I don't know why they briefed Techcrunch, they've said they don't respect embargoes, awfully petty of them to put it out an hour before everyone else
- Chris Nuttall
New clean UI is awesome - really nice layout and colors. Performs well too, handles in line commenting extremely well - wow, this rocks!!!!!
- Susan Beebe
yeah I'm sure that they launched it because the news was out when TechCrunch broke the embargo. It would be frustrating for people to read about it and not be able to try it. I really like it. I think it will have a lot more mainstream appeal which should be good for FriendFeed's growth and our own experience here.
- Thomas Hawk
will there be scores of people hating this design here when it rolls out or will that hate be reserved for when it gets adopted by facebook next year?

it seems good, but I'm not sure I like their autoscroll, does anyone know if there is a keyboard shortcut to pause it?

I'm starting to think the killer thing it needs is judicious use of hashtags. Auto-tagging on feed imports, community tagging like commenting, tie that into filters...

among netbooks this is an incremental upgrade in terms of the next atom processor, front side bus, battery life & ram upgradablility. the rest is pretty much what the msi wind & other netbooks have already -6 cell batt, bluetooth, 802.11n, slightly smaller keyboard. the big difference is that the *dual core* atom processors are expected by fall. by then, netbooks will hit a new milestone. so, like i said before, this is an incremental spec upgrade.

Or wait for the Asus T91 convertible tablet.
- Rodfather
It's a nice netbook, but I'm much more interested in the HP Mini 1000 :)
- Michael Forian
I'm thinking of waiting until there are netbooks that use dual-core Atom CPUs. Those may be out later this year.
- Morton Fox
I prefer the MSI Wind U100. Their 10 inch netbooks were shipping last fall. The U120 is even better in several respects. It will be interesting to see what Dell offers.

Motorola and Nokia have 90% of Chinese Smartphone Market. I discuss why here: - http://www.intomobile.com/2009...

Why can't Apple and RIM get in? Easy: no stylus on their devices. The Chinese market needs a stylus for their users to be able to input their characters.

I think both Apple and RIM need to realize that not everyone wants a "Touch Screen". For the working man a touch screen is annoying as hell and causes butt dials and makes media players crash.
- MarkCarras
i think the touch screen interface is great but not for typing. that's why i love my t-mobile g1...it has a touch screen but it also has a qwerty.
- Shawn C. Reed
touchscreen + qwerty keyboard seems like another reason the Palm Pre may have a chance there.
- LionelatDell
I can't wait for the Pre to come out... I think it's gonna be a game-changer for sure.
- Shawn C. Reed
Yeap, it's impossible to write Chinese words with your fingers on small touchscreens. Also because Palm Pre's not out yet.
- David Poon
Additionally both are easier to swap a SIM in/out, trade/sell, etc
- Ryan
Very interesting. Shows an error in industrial design by not accounting for the whole population or was an exclusionary choice? You figure that intelligent people make these choices and that at least one person had to understand this issue.
- Robert Miller
Actually, one out of every 10 iPhones sold worldwide are sold in China. And Chinese do not need a stylus for input. Using the romanized Pinyin method which most Chinese learn in school, they can input Chinese very well using a phone typepad. As for Motorola, it is fast losing market share in China.
- Paul Denlinger
this is the reason both the 5800 and N97 have the type of touchscreens they have ... you need a stylus to be a market leader in Asia
- Jonathan Greene
Another level of detail: All Chinese in China are taught the romanized Pinyin system in school and are familiar with it, so they can use a QWERTY keyboard and phone typepad for simplified Chinese input. Taiwan, Hong Kong and other regions which do not teach Pinyin have a harder time with input because they use Chinese radical-based systems for input.
- Paul Denlinger
Paul: interesting. Everyone in China I was watching input data with a stylus. Seems to be the preferred method, no? Oh, and hello! (I love being able to talk to my friends in China -- I saw Paul when I visited there).
- Robert Scoble
I don't know about Chinese characters, but Japanese (kana) input is a lot easier with a touch screen. I text and write emails in Japanese characters from my iPhone all the time. It's great because there are two ways to input: 10 key and QWERTY. The reason a lot of my friends in Japan haven't switched is push - or lack there of, since email attached to your phone (keitai meru) is the standard.

The people in China who need a stylus for input tend to be over 45. Younger people are perfectly at home with romanized Pinyin input.
- Paul Denlinger
My friends in Hong Kong don't have styluses... Weird. But then again, Hong Kong doesn't represent China. ;)

Thoughtful comments from Paul and Mona -- Things I never knew and should. :)
- Robert Miller
You discuss here? Robert the link should be renamed as I thought, Does Robert have a different blog? This "I' is not you :)
- Jonathan Jesse
Robert: Mmmm... Actually no. When you were in China, I think that you may have been mostly taking cars or private transportation. If you want to watch how younger Chinese use their mobile phones, you need to take the buses and subways. That's when you see how they use their mobile phones. ;-)
- Paul Denlinger
Jonathan: sorry, I made that link for Twitter, not for you. :-)
- Robert Scoble
People taking public transport usually have only one hand free. For most it would not be possible to input Chinese with a stylus because if they are standing they need one hand to hang onto support.
- Paul Denlinger
As a Chinese people, I can't wait to stand out and point out my view. First, what Paul said are all true that Chinese in Mainland China are using romanized Pinyin to input rather than the stylus. Because the input speed via Pinyin are much much higher than via stylus. Only a few aged people prefer the stylus (while my over-55-year-old parents use Pinyin). Second, iPhone is all around here although it's not officially released. As long as a phone is unlocked, you can find it here in China.

As to the popularity of Nokia in China, I can't explain the reason exactly coz I can't understand it either. As a huge Palm fan, I guess the reason is: 1) Nokia is a well-developed brand and has good words-of-mouth here. People are always saying like this: The quality of Nokia is reliable, I had my phone fallen down three times but it's still ok. 2) Nokia compromised to kill their Wi-Fi function to get the phones officially released. China Mobile, the biggest telecommunication provider, forbids wi-fi.
- yezi
Interesting discussion. I see Motorola adverts a lot less than in 2006, and I see less Motorola's than in 2006. What I do see a lot of is K-Touch and a few others building cheap feature-full phones which are surprisingly robust - at the slimmer margin end of the market.

On stylus vs. pinyin - on a phone I use a stylus because it's faster (on a computer I use Pinyin). An excellent feature of both Mobile Phone and Computer Chinese Input Methods is contextual prediction of character(s) because of the presence of so many homonym's in the language - higher end phones/products can add a lot of value in this area by using an adaptive/self-updating IME like Google/Sohu offer.
- AlexBowman
This is what I discussed w/ NIa how USA is very iphone centric ~ it's always iphone or nothing
- sofarsoShawn
The Chinese will have a phone of their own some day soon
