Comprehensive and to-the-point. Hard to see how they can gain anything from pursuing it further - and let's hope an apology from the other side is forthcoming (though I wouldn't hold my breath for that).
- WorldofHiglet

I cannot believe these assclowns are suing you and have actually coerced written statements from publishers and photographers that photos which appeared in print are not retouched in any way. They should have their tongues cut out.

I have just submitted this to Digg because I hate to see people threatened for telling the truth: http://digg.com/celebri... The only way they will drop this is if they are caught in the act of bullying and are called out for it.

Wow - what a great example of the wrong way to handle bad PR. Don't they know this is just going to make a bigger, worse story for her? How stupid.
- Ciaoenrico
@Ciaoenrico - you know, this is actually one of the reasons why I hesitated and spent a few days thinking and seeking some sanity checks/counsel. I mean, one of the first thoughts that occurred to me when I got the letter was: these people are either way dumber than I am - or way smarter. And I didn't want to presume the former.
- Anthony Citrano
Why does it say "Ouchie" by her thumb, when the missing part was her upper thigh? And why are they mad at you? They should be mad at the Photoshop "artist."
- Kimber Scott
I just read the letter they sent again - talk about a reality gap! I'm not sure they are even in the same universe when it comes to the truth. Now, if only you could get the rights from Shakira so you could use "Hips don't Lie" for your videos...
- WorldofHiglet
kimber - did u read the article?
- Anthony Citrano
I read the beginning of the article where you got a letter from Moore's attorney and then I clicked the link that led to the original article where you spoke about the chunk of hip missing. I guess I'll go back and read more... I thought I'd gotten the gist of it. I just didn't understand where the thumb came in. Will report back soon...
- Kimber Scott
Ok. Now, I get the thumb. I still don't get their attitude. Silly people. You've got the evidence on your side. I'm anxious to see how this plays out.
- Kimber Scott
It is unbelievable that they would stand behind such a crappy retouch and it is almost surreal that they would take it this far.
- Joe
It really is. I can't imagine the reasoning behind it at all.
- WorldofHiglet
Bad cocaine perhaps.
- Joe
well written well reasoned and sadly that it was even necessary but good luck in getting the right outcome
- WarLord
Of all the people I know on FriendFeed that might be sent threatening letters from a Hollywood star's attorney, Anthony was not in my first group. Go figure.
- WorldofHiglet
@WoH: is that good or bad? ;-p
- Anthony Citrano
Unfortunately civil actions often have nothing to do with logic, what is right or even the law.
- Brian Sullivan
As far as I can tell you've proven your point well enough that any counter point would have to have twice the proof. The claims of "no retouching" are obviously not just incredible but discredited. Good job on the vids. :)
- Heather
Anthony: it's hard to know what it says about either of us ;)
- WorldofHiglet
wow, that retouching is super obvious. Look at the line between the leg and hip - doh! Lame attorneys. The photoshop hack needs a new job, errr correction, new career.
- Susan Beebe
This whole issue could be settled in two seconds if the photographer would simply post the original RAW file from the photo shoot.....
- Jeff P. Henderson
Yes, Jeff, but that's not likely now I wouldn't think.

Oh man, this is going to make things so much worse for Demi. Why didn't they just shut up and face the truth. It's so obviously retouched, the videos in the article prove this without a doubt. I would like to understand the missing hip flesh part tho and why it was not in the "untouched" version.

Tricky question. Nothing else out there has this feature-set, and AFAIC that's the killer, I use FF because it's the best platform.

My buddies Nat and Brent from Calgary both joined around the time of the sale and have both really gotten into it. I have more discussions here than on Twitter, and I think that's true for a lot of people.
- Louis Simoneau
And @Scoble: the fact that you don't get 12 000+ followers on FF makes it less attractive to social media marketing types, which actually makes it BETTER as a platform for meeting and interacting with real people.

Of all the crimes the UNIX community has foisted on us, I think the most grievous, subtle and woefully pervasive is the misuse of "/" as a path delimiter.

"That is correct, originally DOS like CP/M didn't have a concept of directories, all file access used file control blocks. When they added directories in Dos 2.0 they added new int21 calls which supported the directory paths and these have always accepted either forward or reversed slashes as path separators interchangeably. Dos 3.0 added an int21 call to canonicalize pathnames which...

The very fact that Bill Gates chose to use a backslash should show that it is the one true way. Bill Gates is never wrong...unlike that Torvalds guy or that Steve Jobs guy.

IIRC, Unix used "-" for command line parameters, but VMS used "/" so somebody had to make a choice for DOS, and they just went the VMS route. You can't really use the same character as a path delimiter and a command line argument flag, so... anway... blame DEC

There are some inconsistencies in OS X that do irritate me. For example, the Finder's filesystem appears to be different from the system's filesystem. I'm still fairly new to OS X so if there's a way to directly or indirectly drill down to, say, /usr/local/sbin in the Finder, I'm unaware of it.

"Three days later, at an all-company meeting in the same amphitheater, Hastings announced that there would be no Netflix Player. Instead, he would spin off the device, letting developer Anthony Wood take the technology and his 19-person team to a small company Wood had founded years earlier called Roku. But Netflix, which had already begun streaming movies to users' PCs, was hardly giving up on the idea of streaming them to televisions as well. Instead, the company would take a more stealthy—and potentially even more ambitious—approach. Rather than design its own product, it would embed its streaming-video service into existing devices: TVs, DVD players, game consoles, laptops, even smartphones. Netflix wouldn't be a hardware company; it would be a services firm. The crowd was stunned. In half an hour, Hastings had completely reinvented Netflix's strategy."

It's fun to dream of a day when cable companies and satellite content providers are out of business. I've been really impressed with Netflix's Watch Now service. The breadth of content available is impressive and combined with newer release TV and films via DVD mail the service is powerfully poised to replace cable and satellite.... one of these days hopefully.
- Thomas Hawk
It's endless though -- if cable and satellite companies go out of business or are no longer in the content supply business -- there will be a new evil supplier.
- Brian Sullivan
Thomas, which codes do I punch in to get CNBC and Monday Night Football?
- Cristo
I'm sure it's a plot to dumb down the American public even more. "You will obey!"
- Kittyburgers
Look at it another way: if cable companies go out of business, who provides the pipe to deliver the content? The vast majority of people in this country get broadband via cable. Replacing them would require a huge infrastructure investment from somebody. Who's going to do that? Phone companies? Maybe, but they're shilling their own content services and aren't interested in being dumb pipes for everyone else's content.
- Kevin Pedraja
@ Kevin Pedraja: Electric companies if they can get approvals. I think there are a lot of lawsuits right now trying to block the powerline companies saying it's unfair competition.
- ChiliMac
Netflix and TIVO with over the air content has made me very happy. Yes, I miss ESPN and I miss seeing some Cubs games that are on ComCast sports but I can go to bars for that. I LOVE not sending ComCast $100 a month.
- ChiliMac
ChiliMac, but don't you have Internet at home?
- Cristo
@Cristo good point. Personally I've got CNBC all day at the office so that's less important to me, but I suppose much of the info from CNBC could be gotten via the Web, even their website. In terms of Monday Night Football, that one's easy for a big chunk of America (although not all). Do like I did and buy a cheap OTA HDTV antenna and then capture the signal via your Media Center PC or TiVo. As a bonus you get to skip all the commercials.
- Thomas Hawk
Thomas, MNF is on ESPN. The CNBC stream is not available online, AFAIK. Also, doesn't your office use cable to get CNBC?
- Cristo
Kevin, if the cable companies go out of business then they sell the pipes to someone else who can more intelligently manage them. Personally I'm using AT&T's uVerse offering right now for internet and it's much faster than cable anyways. Maybe by the time they go out of business their pipes will be antiquated technology as well.
- Thomas Hawk
The ecosystems of networks gets larger: netflix is a network. Realtime is next.
- Cliff Gerrish
from iPhone
Thomas, but that's sorta my point. AT&T is an alternative, but they're not interested in being a dumb pipe. They want you to pay for UVerse. And do you think their prices wouldn't go up if they weren't competing with cable? The bottom line is that selling bandwidth isn't a good business. Companies make money from all the services they layer on top of it.
- Kevin Pedraja
And an antenna is great if all you want to watch is broadcast network TV. How many people do that nowadays? Not many.
- Kevin Pedraja
Christo, Ah, good point. I don't watch sports generally speaking so I wasn't even aware that they were on ESPN, last I remember Monday Night Football was on ABC. I think businesses will still have a need for specialty programming like CNBC. But like the Bloomberg terminal that sits on my desk, I suspect that those offerings will become increasing tailored for specific business customers...

"We're sorry. Currently, AT&T U-verse service isn't available for the address associated with this phone number:" and our building doesn't allow satellite dishes. We're two blocks from the AT&T central unit in downtown SF and there's 200 lofts in this building. Lots of people are stuck with cable.
- Cristo
AT&T is more than just a dumb pipe in terms of what I pay them. It's an obscene amount of money between my fiber internet, 2 iPhones in the house and a landline that we sort of have to keep alive for now so that the kids or babysitter can phone us from home if need be.
- Thomas Hawk
Cristo, agree on uVerse. But it's coming. Fiber is the future not cable.
- Thomas Hawk
Cristo, exactly. And in lots of cities and towns, cable providers have negotiated deals with municipal governments that effectively make them local utilities. There's no direct competition by mutual agreement.
- Kevin Pedraja
So Thomas, essentially you just traded DirecTV for AT&T?
- Kevin Pedraja
Cristo, I thought it was illegal to ban dishes, or is that just for single family dwellings? I wouldn't want Uverse personally, for a variety of reasons including that they already see too much of my traffic ;)
- LogEx
LogEx, there's this thing called homeowner's associations. If the building wants to have satellite, they can, but we don't individually have control over our roof. Additionally, when you have that many units, it's hard to get a consensus on who's willing to pay for a new service installation, especially since not everyone will take advantage of it.
- Cristo
http://www.fcc.gov/mb... ...so it may be just the roof commons issue rather than an actual restriction.
- LogEx
@Kevin. Well, yes, I traded DirecTV for uVerse, but the bill is lower and I get fast internet service with it. Plus I was able to cancel my DSL service that I was formerly paying for. I'm not sure exactly what I pay for uVerse, but it's a heck of a lot less than I used to pay for DirecTV and slower DSL internet service combined.
- Thomas Hawk
If I were in control, I'd try to set up a microwave for the building, and wire it to each loft. However, building politics and arguments make FriendFeed look like choir practice, and I've never left a meeting feeling better than when it started. :)

BTW, I'm getting 18.53Mb/s download, 3.93Mb/s upload with cable. What do you get with uVerse Thomas?

Good question Cristo. I'll have to check at home tonight and report back.

@Cristo: Yes I have internet. Not with Comcast.

When you get Internet from Comcast, you don't save that much by not getting TV with it. Therefore, if you can only get Internet from Comcast, you might as well get TV also.

What is the average cost of a basic internet package with TV service with Comcast? Curious.

They advertise lower, but I think when all is said and done it's about $50-60 for basic cable and Internet.

I tell you what I don't miss with Netflix though is commercials. I've become so spoiled from watching TV series via Netflix with no commercials that I'm finding myself bummed out these days even having to push the fast forward button on the Media Center remote for the OTA content. Even having to listen to 3 or 4 seconds of an ear splitting commercial before I quickly push the fast forward button feels like a pain compared to how fluid the commercial break transitions via Netflix.
- Thomas Hawk
That's a Huge point Thomas. Commercials (and lower quality) are exactly the reasons I don't watch much TV and movies on the Internet.
- LogEx
I have a 25/15 Verizon FiOS connection. It's fantastic. If not for sports, I'd dump cable completely and go with a combo Netflix OTA HDTV solution. Unfortunately I'm a Notre Dame alum and willing to pay $1200 a year for the two times a year the Irish are on ESPN. I also enjoy getting some European soccer games and the History Channel, but other than that, I'd completely get rid of FiOS TV (much better than Comcast though!)
- Matt
Agree with Thomas' comment about commercials. My wife and I have recently been watching Weeds, Dexter, and The Wire completely commercial free. It's excruciating having to watch anything live now. Even the simple act of fast forwarding my DVR seems like a huge hassle now, whereas 5 years ago it was a godsend.
- Matt
I actually like fast forwarding through the commercials and occasionally seeing one I find entertaining.
- ChiliMac
@Matt: Dude, that's what God event sports bars for! :D
- ChiliMac
@ChiliMac Heh, that won't work for my dad, he doesn't drink.

Hey Matt, not to be nitpicky or anything, but Weeds, Dexter and the Wire were on Showtime and HBO. So they were always commercial-free. ;)
- Kevin Pedraja
"Fox crams 18 commercials into every Sunday night airing of The Simpsons, earning 54 cents per viewer. But, according to research firm Sanford C. Bernstein, Fox airs just three commercials for the same show on Hulu--a site it co-owns with NBC Universal and Disney--earning a measly 18 cents per viewer." - Huh, I had no idea Hulu was already doing that well, relatively speaking, in per-viewer revenue.
- Andrew C
Most DVRs have a 30-second forward (even Comcast), so commercials don't bother me that much. You just need to enter the right code and assign it to a button.
- Cristo
30 second advance is the bomb. I had a terrible time with Dollhouse last year though because my fingers were trained to hit the button four-five times, not two.

The GPS cell phone we used to track the location of our vehicle lost reception soon after launch (at an elevation of ~2500 feet). Although we had expected to lose contact with the balloon, the altitude of “last-report” was much lower than expected.
- Mitchell Tsai
GPS information recorded in the flight logs reported a maximum altitude of 19,853 feet due to software limitations. With some simple approximations (linear extrapolation of velocity – a fair assumption justified after looking through flight trajectories of similar balloons), we estimated that our balloon achieved an altitude of about 93000 feet before returning to the earth. The balloon’s ascent took about 4 hours, and its descent took 40 minutes.

We are a group of MIT students seeking to share the artistic aspects of science with others. On Sept. 2, 2009, we launched a digital camera into near-space to take photographs of the earth from high up above. (see “Flight”) (1) Complete such a launch on a budget of $150 total. All of our supplies (including camera, GPS tracking, weather balloon, and helium) were purchased for less than...

(2) Create a launch vehicle without the use of any electronic hacking. We used off-the-shelf items exclusively (i.e., no electronic chips or soldering) to create our launch vehicle. The results were fantastic. Our ultra low-budget balloon went 17.5 miles high into the uppermost parts of the stratosphere and returned 5 hours later. We tracked the device with GPS and found it some 20 miles away from the launch site.
- Mitchell Tsai
Many people have commented on the legality of the balloon launch with respect to FAA regulations. FAA regulations only apply to balloons with payloads over four pounds. Please check the FAA regulations http://www.eoss.org/pubs... for further information.

I think it's glorious!!!! Here's a more detailed description. "MIT Students Take Space Photos on $150 Budget." [jlee614, iReport - 9/13/09] http://www.ireport.com/docs... http://ff.im/88Axi
- Mitchell Tsai
The secret behind their success was figuring out which consumer-ready components to pick-and-match to solve the problems space photographers face. Their device had to: rise to an altitude high enough to capture space photographs, withstand extreme temperatures of the stratosphere, and be trackable/recoverable.
- Mitchell Tsai
Temperatures in the stratosphere can get as low as -55°C, and at that temperature, batteries stop working and electronics fail. To get around this problem without resorting to the use of expensive temperature-resistant hardware or heating devices, the pair used a styrofoam cooler and handwarmers pressed tightly against operating electronics to help keep their equipment functioning throughout the camera’s flight.
- Mitchell Tsai
Locating and retrieving a camera after a near-space launch is a difficult task. Typically, weather balloons are tracked using GPS radio modems which are heavy, cost in the thousands of dollars, and often require complex hardware configurations. In lieu of purchasing a radio modem for their space-bound camera, Lee and Yeh opted to use a $50 GPS-equipped cell phone. The cell phone was secured to the camera and constantly reported its GPS location via text message

OK, we have seen the altered version of this MS page for Poland and now we see MS was up to the same tricks for their version of this page for planet Kashyyyk.

Check out the new Disqus: http://disqus.com/v3/ via @danielha

Disqus has been so poor, I've almost fired them a couple of times in the last 6 months. Even Wordpress's native comment system is better than Disqus at the moment. This new version sounds like it'll put them about even with the field. That may not be good enough.
- Cliff Gerrish
You don't have to RT to see the new Disqus. You can go straight to the video.
- Louis Gray
@Cliff. That's sad to hear. What went wrong? - daniel@disqus
- Daniel Ha
I'd guess this is in response to JS-Kit's Echo. Fortunately I have several blogs so I can try both. There are things to like about both.
- Leo Laporte
i'm so ready, with this and the new functionality on tumblr, looks like my favorite internet toys are evolving nicely...
- Paul Greer
I've yet to have a problem with Disqus. Then again, I've yet to have a whole lot of exposure to it either. I mean, at one time, I thought Xanadu was an awesome movie.
- Akiva Moskovitz
Right on time! Wanted to change from Disqus and try Echo, but i rather stick with them. Let's see.
- Tibor Holoda
Nice
- Keith - @tsudo
Disqus needs to work on better mechanism to stop spam. They are so behind the curb it's not even funny. I'm dumping Disqus in favor for JS-Kit..
- Mike Fruchter
Looks purdy (really). But DISQUS' big bugaboo is spam. That's what drove me back to WP native comments.
- Chris Baskind
What I want is better anti-spam.
- Rishabh Mishra (p248)
Agreed on the spam part. We did something new with the next version; in the mean-time, we just released the ability to input your own Akismet API key. It's available as of this morning. :)
- Daniel Ha
Oh, that's excellent news. :)
- Rishabh Mishra (p248)
Meh. Still not eye catching enough to make me put my system's comments wholly in the hands of a third party. I don't trust you that much. Nothing personal.
- Otto
Otto - it's not entirely - each comment is also saved locally on your blog. You own your comments.
- Jesse Stay
The biggest news is the Real-time announcement - totally excited to see that (can I get a preview, can I? can I?) I like Disqus better than Echo because RTs aren't bundled in with comments (hopefully it remains that way).
- Jesse Stay
Sweet, just pasted my Akismet key into my Disqus setup. Great work! You are now slightly ahead of ID again, and that's not even counting whatever v3 will bring.
- Daniel J. Pritchett
I've had Echo onboard for just few days, but I can't get syncing with native WP comments working. Looks like I'll give DISQUS v3 a shake.
- Micah Wittman
Is it just me or do some elements of the new version look a lot like Backtype? Either way, looking forward to what the new version will offer. It runs on my firm's site (http://webtechlaw.com) and does a decent job.
- Paul Jacobson
I'm pretty sure Disqus is leveraging the BackType API in some places, Paul. Comments on my latest blog post say things like "From Twitter via BackType" (http://www.sharingatwork.com/2009...)
- Daniel J. Pritchett
If its at all difficult to deploy v3 I'll wait for Louis to do it first, and see how it looks on his site.
- DGentry
Daniel, the spam improvements are great news. I know you guys have been working on that. And I continue to tell folks you're a great team. Looking forward to trying v3.
- Chris Baskind
ROFL - They improved the spam situation ... and are getting people to spam twitter about it? Whaaaatever. You can't have my tweet.
- Joel Bennett
So I guess I was a little late with that post .... huh ? :) Reminder to self .... always check Louis' FF stream .....

+1 Akiva for Xanadu reference. Awesome movie (in a campy kind of way).
- Rick Cogley
AKIVA - Xanadu IS an awesome movie.
- Yolanda
Guys like me shouldn't dream anyway. (sorry, OT)
- Rick Cogley
Real time? Yes!
- Nate Pilling
Daniel: that is a very interesting mashup. I use Backtype on my one blog, might go back to Disqus when the update comes out.

I'm convinced some mental asylum somewhere uses YouTube as anger therapy for its most disturbed and sociopathic patients.

Expected Twitter to be a marketing social media expert. FF should be a hand puppet with Facebook's hand up its ass.

While I like the artwork and sentiment, the characters are really accurate. MySpace are moms and kids, Twitter is 30+, ok the YouTube guy looks about right assuming he's a commenter :-)
