Brett Slatkin on one of the under appreciated dilemas facing young urban professionals today. Simply put, the math around home ownership in expensive US cities doesn't add up. This is markedly different than any other time in post-war history, as far as I know.
- DeWitt Clinton
Ugh.
- Louis Gray
I bought a home in the early part of the recovery from the last California housing bust, in 1996. Its made financial sense since then, but if I were starting now I'd be somewhat more hesitant. Even with the drops of the last several years, a mortgage is still a higher percentage of the typical family income now than it was then.

Google Nexus: Not Enough to Beat Apple iPhone? - ABC News - http://abcnews.go.com/Busines...
Thomas Power, نعیمی Naimi, Adam Helweh and 2 other people liked this
"Next Tuesday, Google is expected to announce its long-rumored Nexus One smartphone. It is undoubtedly designed to run the Google Android operating system for cellphones, which the search giant introduced more than a year ago. Android was envisioned as a major breakthrough in cellphones because it offered an "open" operating system – i.e., one that other companies could use and design applications for. At the time, this strategy was compared to that of Microsoft Windows, which broke the market hegemony of Apple's decidedly non-open OS in the mid-1980s and within a decade, turned Apple into a niche company. This time around, the new Android phones were supposed to break the hegemony of the Apple iPhone. So far, it hasn't quite worked out that way with Android"
- Louis Gray
from Bookmarklet
"The early reports suggest that what Google will introduce next week, the Nexus One, will be a largely conventional smartphone. That's a pity because I suspect Google will never get this chance again. Meanwhile, strong on momentum and flush with cash, Apple isn't waiting around for the world to catch up with it. Two weeks from now, the company is expected to introduce yet another category-buster..."
- Louis Gray
Way too much iPhone Koolaid went into that article!
- Paul Jacobson
Seems that way, doesn't it, Paul? :) One commenter suggested Apple -- Steve Jobs -- Disney shareholder -- Disney -- Owns ABC -- Columnist bias! But I think that is trying too hard.
- Louis Gray
Excluding possible bias, the pro-iPhone position is the safest bet for the author, IMHO.
- Kurt Starnes
People look for a coordinated conspiracy with even the most nebulous of connections.

Download VMware Fusion 3.0.1 and a 12 month complimentary subscription to McAfee VirusScan Plus 2009 (Recommended): 415 MB

Shameful.
- DeWitt Clinton
I noticed that. Marketers gone wild.
- Scott Ludwig
When I saw McAfee warned against possible hackers going wild vs. Google Chrome OS and Adobe in successive days last week, they got on my "ignore at all costs" list.
- Louis Gray
"Marketers Gone Wild"'.... "Hackers Gone Wild".... are these the lesser known sequels?
- Nick Lothian
The bright side is that Ubuntu 9.10 is running great on the MBP 13" SSD. Super fast, too. A few minor quirks to work out but it looks like I have a mobile dev environment ready to go.
- DeWitt Clinton
So far, the VMWare tools package that you install in Windows (mouse driver, etc) doesn't drag a bunch of crapware in with it. I wonder if thats next on the marketcritter's list?
- DGentry
Guess what? :)

Firstly... WTF you sacks of shit? You know nothing of my situation and what I'm doing here. And Second... So a dad and his daughter alone automatically equals a divorced dad on visitation? Finally... Why is this a bad thing? I know divorced fuck heads who never ever see their kids and I also know great people who only get to see thier kids on rare occasions and treasure what little time they do have like gold... I'm so fucking pissed right now. Knowing some FriendFeeder's situation with thier kids and lack of access, I wanna cram a Happy Meal right up these fuck head's asshole... Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

In parallel, I always get weird looks too when I'm out with Sarah (or Sarah and Matthew) when at the park. My kids happen to interact with other kids, and as a good parent, I must occasionally hover to avoid bruising, etc. Yet I often get looks from other mothers that clearly I must be preying on their kids or looking to accost them in some way. Whereas mothers will talk with other kids' mothers, I am seen as unapproachable.

Louis, I have been accused of being a perv on more occasions than I care to recout with my photgraphy... Makes me want to cry at times...

It's effective, but I wish I didn't have to say it :(

It's such sad commentary. Paranoia doesn't end at airports, it stretches all the way to the playground. *shakes head*. I'm a dad, and I feel for all the dads who spoke up here.
- Micah Wittman
I'm a single full-time Dad to an eleven year old Daughter about half the time, so I can relate to some of the thoughts above. I used to feel weird and uncomfortable hosting play dates and such at our house. We've been at the same school for years now, so it's no longer an issue. I don't even think about such things much anymore when my Daughter and I are out together - if someone thinks something weird is going on it's their problem, not mine! Don't let it get you down, Johnny! :->

Surprised blogosphere's been meh 'bout web-based MOG (http://mog.com/ - U.S. only), but gaga over Spotify (http://www.spotify.com/en/ - Europe-only). Is it all about the $5?
I've been a firm believer in (and paying supporter of) music-in-the-cloud services for more than five years, and I find it both puzzling and frustrating that proportionally few of my fellow geeks seem to share my love for this stuff.
- Adam Lasnik
Oh, and I'm happy that the MOG'ers are Android fans ;-) http://support.mog.com/discuss...
- Adam Lasnik
would love to try it, but i can't.
- Rocky
Yeah, but you can't fault me for non-disclosure ;-). So with that said, assuming that it's a usable service with a good library (you'll just have to take my word on that), would *you* be apt to pay $5 for it?
- Adam Lasnik
Nice service! My only reservation is that their library is pretty spotty on indie labels, even some of the larger ones (for example, try searching for anything on Warp).
- Matt Stanton
hmm, that's a bummer! If you've tried other online music service's, how do you feel MOG's library compares? One of their execs insisted in TechCrunch comments (assuming no impersonation) that MOG's library was just as big as Rhapsody's and such, but I found this not to be the case :(.
- Adam Lasnik
I haven't tried any of the other all-you-can-eat services, but emusic is generally a lot better about having what I'm looking for. Then again, emusic started with indie labels.
- Matt Stanton
Makes sense.
- Adam Lasnik
i really need to get my brother to set up a proxy for me. re: paying. sure, if i like the service. just signed up for free trial of sugarsync and am thinking i might pay for real. i should go back and add up how much i've spent on iphone apps. i'm sure it's a lot.
- Rocky
Life isn't fair. Spotify is the best streaming service I have ever tested. I (full disclosure as always) was given a free premium account, here in the US, and have the iPhone app also. So that goes a long way. But even with that, it has had a dramatically positive impact on the way I listen to music. It is smart and sharp, and I've never felt that from any alternative.
- Louis Gray
So, with the disclaimer that I have no affiliation with any music service other than as a user, I am curious to know what aspects of Spotify you like better than MOG. I have tried both services, and so far like MOG a bit better due to social aspects and the fact that I can share (at least 30 second snippets of) music with friends with a real web URL rather than requiring them to...
more...
- Adam Lasnik
Of course, so much for *that* example; that link appears to be broken. Weird! This works, though: http://mog.com/music... . And so does this playlist link :) http://mog.com/playlists/9653

I will look into it more and give you an answer soon, Adam. I am not claiming expertise.

Beti is singing songs in the kitchen, and I'm finding them and playing them from the office through Sonos. I'm kind of the human prototype for this technology right now. ;)

And will it include automatically billing you for ASCAP licensing fees for the live performance - the 3 Ms: Monetize, monetize, monetize. ;)
- Micah Wittman
Midomi does the first part very well, but the second part is not automated for obvious reasons :)
- Ethan Gahng
Ethan, what are the obvious reasons?
- Cristo
Well, first of all you can't automate the purchase part. Midomi lets you buy the discovered song directly from their app though. And, even if the purchase part is resolved--assuming that all the songs you hum or sing is in your iTunes library--you would still want to choose from several discovered songs with similar traits. For example, I just hummed the music "Desafinado" into my midomi, and it brings me several versions. I wouldn't like it if it just started playing the first one on their list.
- Ethan Gahng
And yet somehow I know which one to play even though I'm not the one humming.

"I have the MacBook Pro 15 inch, and am more interested in Air than the 13 inch, although I have some minor interest in that as well.

OAuth is becoming a cautionary tale - http://www.scripting.com/stories...

I disagree with what Dave is saying here. OAuth needs Facebook and others to adopt it in order to survive. It wasn't going in the right direction, so those companies took charge. Dave Recordon, if you read in the comments, made it clear they had full intentions to wrap this back into OAuth 2.0 if it makes sense. The fact is, calling it another revision of OAuth helps me, the end user,...

See also: http://commented.org/blog.... Keep in mind I am not claiming any expertise here. I am sharing because it is interesting and relevant. This is also why I wrote about OAuth and WRAP on Thanksgiving. http://blog.louisgray.com/2009...
- Louis Gray
It should also be noted that Eran is not even on Twitter, despite Twitter being perhaps the biggest supporter of the old format. Note that Yahoo, perhaps the biggest implementor of OAuth, is also in on the WRAP proposal. :-) I think Eran is just bitter. Understandably so considering a lot of the original spec was his effort.

I might be a little biased, but this post kind of pisses me off. No matter how hard we try to support the open net/web, people like the author of this post are going to fling shit at you -- "Not *everything* at Google is open, so this is all a bunch of hypocrisy, blah blah blah".
- Joel Webber
If there is one thing TC does well, it's fling pooh. They do many other things well, but flinging pooh gets folks like you and I to link to them, talk about them and propagate the brand. Social media isn't great at differentiating good news from bad news yet.
- Bill Strathearn
And yet, Bill and Joel, those of us who try not to... "fling pooh"... those efforts are not always rewarded. I try to filter out said "pooh" from those things I share or distribute or create. It's a "pooh strainer" of sorts. But it is in beta.
- Louis Gray
I appreciate your efforts, Louis. Your work has always seemed sensible and level-headed to me. I think it's rather unfair of us to characterize TC in general as pooh-flingers. When pooh does get flung, it has to be an individual that does the flinging!
