Tech people. Help! Please! Although I am using Google Chrome, an Internet Explorer window keeps popping up saying "The webpage is unavailable" due to me being offline (which I'm not). Any idea what could be causing this and how to fix it?

Does the IE pop up window have a URL in it?
- Stephen Mack #TeamMomo
Is it a legit IE window or is it a Chrome window pretending to be IE because it's a malware popup window? Cause if it's the latter, just ignore it and maybe figure out how to block 'em.

Here's the thing. Slept like crap on Saturday night, hiked 30+ km over 8 hours yesterday, fell asleep at 10pm, woke up at 1:30am, now 4:20am and still can't sleep. WTF is up with that?????

I've seen both - I'm guessing that's going to depend on whether someone's in a fixed position (seated and strapped in) or moving around, and how steady they are overall. The first generation of stuff might be pretty uneven, quality wise.

I bought the Aria scale. I like that it sends the info automatically to my dashboard, but I don't think the body fat is very accurate. It says I'm obese, I think I have to disagree with that. I might not be skinny, but I'm not obese.
Also, last night, I weighed more, but the body fat % was lower.
- Georgia
The reviews are that the Withings scale is more accurate, but in general body fat is highly variable and is probably only useful week to week as an indicator of whether you are losing it. I have the Withings scale and it does connect to the Fitbit site, but it is somewhat hidden now that Fitbit has a competing scale.
- Cristo
Yeah, I get wildly different readings from my Aria. Even a few minutes apart. My first few days with it in particular it showed really bizarre results. I think Cristo's right, that it's only useful for showing trends over many many months of measurement.
- Stephen Mack #TeamMomo

Thanks Cristo and Stephen. I honestly had a moment this morning when I went crap, am I really obese? Do I just not see it?

Apparently the best way to get an accurate reading for body fat % is to get an MRI. Try getting that past your insurance company. :)

Georgia, read some of the Amazon reviews. You're not alone on getting an invalid result out of the box. But try this: weigh yourself first thing in the morning, before eating and drinking. Make sure your feet are dry. Measure three times and take the average. Don't pay any attention to the actual body fat percentage, just the trend. And get your body fat measured at a gym or at your...

The Aria is very good, for me, in measuring weight, even day to day. The body fat percentages are in the ballpark, and change more frequently than most would like (as Cristo and Stephen said). But I noticed that I dropped from about 27% body fat to under 20%, and had the corresponding weight loss. If I go from 19.6% to 20.3% or back and forth in the space of a few weeks, it's no big deal.

The main thing keeping me away from the Flex is the lack of a clock. I mean, just on principle... all the others have a clock, but the one meant to wear on your wrist doesn't? WTH?

I have used the Ultra for about a year. I like the altimeter, but found it inaccurate - riding an elevator would add to floors climbed, etc., so decided the Flex would be fine for me.

Imagine if I could embed one of my FF rooms on my personal web site, and enable people to subscribe to that feed by e-mail with just a couple of clicks... rather than saying "you can get e-mail notifications but you have to sign up for Friendfeed first."

So this works on groups too, cool! But we still cannot see Best of for groups on the site on friends lists. :-( I have several friends lists that include just groups and when I select to view the best of the page it's empty (even though if I got to the individual best of for those groups there are entries there).

What Eric said, they are swooping into the market of recruiters and job boards, with even more value. That is money, right there. They are a perennial business, without a lot of current direct competitors.
- Gimminy
Tivo on the other hand.
- Gimminy
Don't get me wrong, it has an important niche, serves its area well, seems well managed and with both ads and fees has a solid business model. But what's the P/E now, 1,000? That's beyond madness, beyond absurdity.

(Of course, FB is nearly 2k, so that's even more insane.)
- Stephen Mack #TeamMomo
from iPhone
Facebook is at 1,900 P/E, and Amazon doesn't even have a P/E right now. But LinkedIn has also seen significant growth in just the past year. Q4'12 net income is almost exactly what they had for the 2011 Fiscal Year. It does leave me at a pause, but it's in the same area as Facebook, where they're still 'pre-revenue', in the sense they haven't nailed their golden goose to the table.
- Gimminy
We need a new mascot to represent the coming dot com crash, like the Pets.com puppet so dutifully fulfilled.
- Eric - seven eleven
Well I did get pitched on building WebVan for Recylcing, my terms, last year. I actually have a few things pitched to me.
- Gimminy
Also that P/E ratio is based off of the 2011 FY EPS, not 2012's. The accurate P/E. is ~720, at news break it was ~670. If they continue along the current trajectory(possible) of doubling YOY, without any considerable rise in the stock price over the next year, we could be looking at ~400, to down somewhere around ~300.
- Gimminy
Of course, if the price continues along the same trajectory, doubling to 280, at this point next year P/E will be ~1300 pre-release, and ~700 post; like it did today dropping from 980 down to ~670.
- Gimminy
Even ~300 seems overvalued to me. :)
- Stephen Mack #TeamMomo
from iPhone
Tivo is ~140, and that's with a lot of competition. Amazon doesn't even have a P/E, anymore, because they started running a charity. ;P
- Gimminy
The question really is what are LinkedIn's earnings going to look like 3-4 years from now, and how is the price going to adjust going forward. I expect LinkedIn's earnings to go up 4-5x, and then taper off, and the price will taper off more quickly. So we probably aren't going to see anything below ~150 P/E, possibly even below ~250, in that time, but the price will probably still go up 15-30%.
- Gimminy
Disclaimer: Most of what I've said is my own opinion, and speculation. Not financial advice.
- Gimminy
If you want a safe stock, invest in Apple, they're pulling in the money and have a P/E of 10, they're only down .2% from a year ago, and 23% from 6 months ago. (Again, not financial advice, this is sarcasm.) Even safer is Yahoo with a P/E of 6.

Just saw this, Monique. I'm sorry you're having to deal with this, and it always comes at a bad time. But if I've learned anything about you here on FF, it's that you have the spirit of a fighter, with a wonderful mix of "in your face" humor. Turn all of that to your cancer recovery and I know cancer's gonna lose. Big time!

I really don't know you personally either, but have always been impressed with your talent & intelligence in navigating back and forth between two sub cultures and no nonsense " in your face" approach to life's share of bullshit..

That's 10,390 steps for you fitbit'ers. [edited: probably actually 20,780 steps, if you count both legs...)
- Brian Johns
Should be more than that, sir. 13 miles is usually above 25,000 steps.
- Louis Gray
Perhaps the steps are off by a factor of 2: The Garmin doesn't directly display the counting of each step, but instead shows the rate so I was back-calculating. My running cadence is pretty steady at 78 - 80 strides per minute which yields 6.68 feet per stride which seems high. (I'm pretty sure about the number of minutes I was out.) So perhaps 20,780 steps?

Ah, wait, victory has been snatched from defeat. CNN says his weight was a mere 325 pounds (http://www.cnn.com/2009...), so he was only worth the weight of two people. Superstition is again defeated, and science marches on, triumphant, but with much work to do.

When an unexpected death hits, we can all be at a loss for words. Sometimes our brains just reach for platitudes because we don't know what else to say.

- Stephen Mack #TeamMomo
Sorry you see it that way, Sean. I'm really not trying to say "I told you so" -- I'm trying to refute magic thinking and pseudoscientific poop. If you read the earlier thread, there are people posting who genuinely believe this superstition.

Ah, Sean, I see your "trifecta" post now (http://friendfeed.com/txsean...). So I can see how you took my update as an "I told you so." Well, sorry again to sound pretentious or smug, because I don't intend to come off that way. But if nothing else comes out of this, will you back down from your belief in the trifecta as anything beyond selective perception?

No. But someone who likes ghost stories wouldn't necessarily jump to talk about a celebrity's ghost right after that celebrity passed away. That would make me suspect they believed in ghosts.

"For many years I worked in palliative care. My patients were those who had gone home to die. Some incredibly special times were shared. I was with them for the last three to 12 weeks of their lives. People grow a lot when they are faced with their own mortality. I learned never to underestimate someone's capacity for growth. Some changes were phenomenal. Each experienced a variety of emotions, as expected: denial, fear, anger, remorse, more denial and eventually acceptance. Yet every single patient found peace before departing. Every one of them. When questioned about any regrets they had or anything they would do differently, common themes surfaced. Here are the most common five:"

Probably because aspartame has an amphetamine-like effect.

One thing that made me less excited about Coke Zero is that the sweetening is still HFCS. So een though it's a little sweetening, it's still a form I don't want to have.
