How to tell if you are a geek:
quik, Captain Jack, noemigio and 146 other people liked this
Tonight I was faced with this scene at a party in Indianapolis for Monster Energy drink and I figure it is a good way to tell if you are a geek. If you first impulse is to ask the girls for help with your Ubuntu install, you are probably a geek. If you start wondering about what cool iPhone apps they use, you are probably a geek. If you want to ask them where the best places to find wifi in Paris are, you are probably a geek. If you want to invite them to a Facebook party you are probably a geek. If you ask them what they think of Android you are probably a geek.

If you ignore them entirely and check out what's playing on the media player in the background, you're probably a geek.
- Akiva Moskovitz
If you can't spell "Ubuntu" do you get your geek cred's revoked?
- Joel Bennett
If your first impulse is to correct @scobleizer on his spelling of Ubuntu in his post . . . you're a geek.

So did you have wild sex with them?

- Bettina Tizzy
if you dont care, for once, what scoble has to say, and are simply wondering where to find these girls...what are you?
- Zachary Adam Cohen
sluts*
- Michael Owens
If you know for a fact the girls don't care at all about you and are only there as paid advertisements, AND you still don't care and want to gawk and hang out and get photos with them anyway...you might be a geek.
- Josh Haley
Scoble is a womanizer hahahaha
- Jeunelle Foster
Damn, Josh, why not just go ahead and win the Internet for yourself, why don't you.

If you ask them their thoughts on Faccebook acquiring FriendFeed, you're a geek.

If you immediately turn to your iPhone and write about it on FriendFeed you are a geek
- Jesse Stay
I'm pretty sure I am still a geek, but there is no way any of those questions come to mind when I see this picture. And I think if those questions come to anyone's mind here, it might be time for geek-rehab.

You could also be gay, or female, but that would be in a non-geek-centric universe, so I could be wrong. ;)

Also, there is an iPod in the background -- clearly these are Apple Fan-girls.

If you take a picture of three beautiful girls, post it on FF, and your first inclination is to write a caption that includes the words Ubuntu, iphone Apps and Android - OR if you comment on such a post... You are definitely a geek.

If you help them sign up for Facebook, FriendFeed, and Twitter, you're a geek.

Well I know I'm a geek. When someone like me, who spends a lot of time helping a sexy geek like Marina Orlova of http://hotforwords.com because she speaks geek and is enjoyable to work with. I might even venture to say she's a bit of a computer nerd. When Marina wakes up the first thing she does is check her email. When she gets ready for bed she can be found tweeting before she retires...

If Robert had taken that shot with is 600mm, he would have had to have been 3 blocks away and you would be able to see the the flecks of color in their eyes :) You are looking at their eyes right?? -- My first thought was well, they can't be geeks as everyone knows true Geeks drink Red Bull not Monster :P Monster isn't all bad, they are big supporters of Surfrider and International Surfing day ----> Surfing Geek

If you're a geek, why are you asking someone else for help with your Ubuntu installation? Shouldn't you figuring that out yourself? Turn in your geek card, now.
- Andy Bakun
Yeah, they'd have to ask you to help with their Ubuntu installation. Except if they don't know what Android is, they probably haven't heard of Ubuntu either.
- Dennis Jernberg
This Ubuntu question can relate this photo and the Ubuntu logo, then that's a geeky question. (I mean this http://www.flickr.com/photos... )

The whole battle of two gods thing really confused the hell out of me.
- Mitch
Mitch: good vs. evil. For life to get to the next level we must join good vs. evil and stop fighting with each other. If we don't, we'll all die. So, the fun next season will be to see if all opposing forces learn to get along, or if the whole thing ends in a great tragedy. I vote that they all get along. The couple on the beach last night foreshadowed that.
- Robert Scoble
On the other hand, http://lostpedia.wikia.com serves as my English major!
- Tyler Hayes
The thing that throws you off is both sides have good and evil in them. Lost's gods are complex, not simple like our mythological gods.

The concept of dualistically natured gods was actually pretty common throughout most of human culture. It's what makes Greek and Roman mythology so interesting.

Allen: now that you mention it, yes they do! By the way, have you gotten my business cards all scanned? Or can you "blame Scoble" for slipping your launch date?

Here are my thoughts: http://maryamie.spaces.live.com/blog...
- Maryam Scoble
I bet we'll find out the other one is Jacob's brother. It seems LOST is a string of stories about duality. Good vs. Evil and Science vs. Religion as the two main struggles.
- Andrew Smith
What I also think is interesting is the story Two Brothers by Hans Christian Andersen. http://hca.gilead.org.il/two_bro... It specifically mentions the biblical Jacob and refers to them as two brothers Ørsted. If you look up Hans Christian Ørsted http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki... you find his life's studies revolved around electromagnetism. Coincidence? hmmm
- Andrew Smith
Wait I have a degree in English but don't get LOST 50% of the time (though i do like it). This is why it's my denial degree. :)

- Mo Kargas
5D MKII of course.
- Jeremy Franklin
The Canon. I'd have so much more fun with a zippy camera than a Big Mac.
- Mike Neumann
Probably the computer. I'm happy with the first gen 5D I'm about to buy and as awesome as the camera is, the MBP doesn't need another $5K in lenses.
- Derrick
Neither, you need at least twice that for glass & equipment to get the "rig" you should want for a Canon MKII - sorry, 3K isn't enough for that toy; and spending 3K on disposable technology (Mac equipment) isn't a wise investment.
- Enrique Gutierrez
MBP....i miss my macs!
- Brian Bufalo
5D MKII hands down. I can hold onto the memory cards until I get to a desktop :)
- Austin
Without question: 5D mark II
- Rodney L.
MBP - it's a means of production for me, once i make some extra cash with it I can always buy the 5D ;-)
- Warren
which are you going to get more utility from? I'm guessing the Canon.

I already have a 5D MKII but I would take another one in a heartbeat, or a couple of nice L glass

Neither, I'd use it to buy food for a year.
- Will Higgins™
Considering I can make quicker cash with my Photography work I would say the Canon 5D MKII and then I would buy the Apple 17 inch MacBook Pro with some of my earnings!
- Patrick Greer
5D Mark II. And then throw the remaining towards some new glass.
- Andy Hannon
2k into the bank, 1k for computer upgrades and other stuff.

5D Mk II everytime ... unless I don't have a Mac at that particular time ...

5D MKII...already have a MacBookPro and I'm willing to ditch my Nikon gear!
- Dan Shust
Canon 5D MKII since I already have the 15" MBP.

I don't need either one--but I think the Canon would have much better resale value--so given the choices: Canon.

Canon 5D MKII - for sure! - I really want one.... :(
- Brad
MBP - not a photographer
- Matt Faulkner
A 50D and a fast lens. ;-)
- D. Lambert
I've already got the 15" unibody so I'd go for the 5Dmkii
- Sparky
If I didn't have a laptop, then I would get the 17" MBP. If I already had a lappy, then get the camera...
- William Sellers
Well, I recently moved from a 30D to a 5DMII because it was a huge upgrade for my "system". With a 2 year old Macbook Pro still serving me well for my needs, it's an easy decision. Additionally, I can't see using a 17" notebook over a 15 for portability sake, I'd just as well get an iMac and keep using my Macbook Pro for mobile use.
- Ryan
Aren't you in Vegas? I think there are a few other options in front of you..
- LA Snark
5D!!
- Wil
The camera. I have a new macbook already.
- Jim Williams
The 5D is more than a $3k investment. It's $3k upfront but thousands in lenses, flashes and other gear over the years.
- Michael Yurechko
Canon 5DMIII...

Neither. Maybe 3 coins :). I have a Macbook Pro which I don't use often comparing to my PC. I am not into the consumer electronic stuff, only got a digital cam last year :).
- dexin
Canon. Can't believe Apple ditched the matte screen on the 17" - FCP users and photographers don't want a glossy screen - the idea of the 17" is the ability to use it out in the field for photo/video editing.

So limiting, Robert! If I could pick whatever I wanted, I'd get one of those sweet Asus multi-touch netbooks coming out - and then use the rest to buy Yahoo! stock. :P

- Mo Kargas
the camera is nice - especially all the HD video. friend of mine in the movie post-production business reckons this sort of Camera will KILL the movie camera business in a few years time. especially at the low-budget movie (<$30 million) of the movie business. RED already making big inroads. much cheaper than an ARRI.

I'd go the MacBook - but I'd also load it up with the full 8gb of RAM I see as an option (and not many people mentioning). Sadly, a nice 17" MBP setup it just over NZ$10k :(
- Mark Derricutt
MacBook Pro. Hands down. I'm a computer engineer, not a photographer.

When you buy an inexpensive camera, you really sacrifice quality, and that lack of quality endures (you want to keep your photos forever, right?). When you buy an inexpensive computer, that's not the case (I don't need a unibody case :)
- David Andrzejewski
Canon 5D - easy answer!
- Susan Beebe
Ouch, this one hurts. I suppose I can't opt for a Nikon equivalent to the Canon? If this is the choice, I'd opt for the MacBook Pro. But if I had 3K, I'd buy myself the Nikon D300
- Karoli

I would save it until I had between $8-15K for a CO2 laser cutting machine. I like my macs small, and while full frame sounds nice, I know I'm not nearly hungry enough to go pro in photography, so 40D suits me just fine.
- Jason Wehmhoener
That's a tough one because I have been wanting to get my first Mac (have to start somewhere, right?!) but am a hard core Canon fan/user. So if push came to shove, I would have to go with the Canon.
- Laura Zickus
Mmm, CO2 lasers.
- Mo Kargas
That would be either a trip to another continent or a Fujitsu LifeBook P1630, but it would not be either of the options in the question. I seriously cannot understand $3k for a camera, unless you're going to make that money back in a month or two WITH said camera.
- MiniMage TKDteacher of FF
Neither, I would invest in the stock market.
- DGentry
I'd prefer a D300, however no matter what brand I'd take the camera in a second over the MBP. Save up another $500 and get a Windows Notebook as well.
- Kenton
The Canon 5D MKII for sure. Cameras bring me a lot more joy than flashy computers. Though a 17-inch MacBookPro would be nice to edit those new photos on too ;-)
- Ian Holton
from twhirl
Probably the Mac. I would never carry around a DSLR. Too big.
- Rodfather
Neither. The new full frame format with HD Movies (wow! Woopee *rolls eyes*) is crap - only 3.9 FPS?! Who are they kidding?!

If I had the $3,000, Canon 5D and a larger donation here http://tinyurl.com/daniela Pros: it's more portable, takes better pictures, and connects to my more compact 15" Macbook Pro. Of course, it doesn't work with my Nikon lenses, so...

Robert, you're asking the question that's been pondering in my mind from some time (albeit it used to be with the 15" and Cinema display v. 5D/a900/D700 -cannot make my mind-). I want to be able to make a decision before March. I think I'll be going for the Mac, since I might relocate in part of the world where carrying an expensive piece of art around my neck might be more dangerous than here, in JPN.
- Paul Papadimitriou
I'd go for a MBP, mine needs an upgrade and I just bought a 50D not long ago which is just fine for me.

Seems like Apple design the 17-inch MacBookPro just can use in 3years.the battery can only use in 1000 times,1time per 1day,3years.But Canon 5D can take more beatuful pics for me,and can stand by me more than 3years.if i really have 3000dollers,i real do this.kick off 17-inch MacbookPro.

- Rob Kramer

- Michael Forian
Wow, I came late to this convo. Well, for what it's worth at this point, I'd probably get the lappytop, sell my old MBP and then use THAT money to buy a cheaper camera. :D
- Jon, the Chilled Beartato
Canon 5D MKII, no doubt. I have a 1.5 year old 15-inch MacBookPro which is still more than OK. Going from Canon 400D to a 5D MKII however would be a major upgrade.
- Rutger Blom
Macbook I think. I have a 40D but REALLY want the 5D. Which do you think you could get your hands on first?
- Andrew Smith
The 5D. The MacBookPro can wait.
- Chris Nixon
5D, I have enough laptops as it is.
- Amit Morson
The $2800 MBP becomes a lot more compelling when converted to 2080€.
- Brad Kligerman
I'm a Nikon guy but the 5D MKII has me seriously considering a switch
- Bryan Thatcher
from twhirl
As I don't like Macs and into my photography the choice out of the two is simple. :-) But I've rather spend the money on say the Nikon D3 and if you gave me an extra grand or 2 then I'd go for the Nikon D3X. ;-)
- Kol Tregaskes
from twhirl
Without though, the Canon 5D MKII. First up, you don't want to trust another "first gen" Apple product. And with the unimpressive lineup yesterday, maybe the 15" laptops are coming out real soon now, with similar features, and all quirks ironed out

17-inch macbookPro is way too big. so I would go for the camera. Problem is I would need to learn how to use it then...
- Davide D'Incau
If you have good lenses to take advantage of the MKII (extra $3000 needed here), go for the camera!
- Joao Pedro
I would buy a Apple 17-inch macbook of course.! I don't have an apple and I would really like one. I have a camera thats good enough for me.

- Roberto Bonini

Canon 5d Mk II, far more useful than the new laptop. More fun. One encourages you to sit around, the other encourages you to go out :-)

- Bob Gannon
I wouldn't want a 17'' monster of a MacBookPro and therefore would go for the Canon 5D MKII
- Donald Townsend
Neither. Both are overpriced. If no other options; I'd go camera.
- Wade Dorrell
5D, the 17-inch MacBook Pro is very big. Harder to find bags for it and its less portable.
- seanb
bank it, put in matress, done need either of those things, we need smarter devices that tell us the likelyhood of use-longevitiy in them, "i'm a camera you bought last year, you used me 9 times, i collect dust, owner- please resist replacing me unless you really really really need to, and the data suggests you don't.."
- Dan Rockwell
from twhirl
Not enough to buy what I want with the Canon, and I wouldn't be caught dead spending $3000 on a laptop. What a waste!
- Paul Puri
Neither. A $3000 laptop is not worth it just because of its branding.
- Spencer
ohh.. I can't choose. I want both of them... But if i choose, first canon, second mac... İ have canon 40 d and 15'' mac book pro. And i don't like mac's new screen. It's like mirror...
- devletsah
Spencer: as a recent PC to Mac switcher, it's more than brand. Much more.
- Ryan
I'd buy a netbook for the other three members of my family and put the remaining $2000 toward bills or savings. :)
- Steve Lowe
Agree with Aaron, love my 13" Macbook and really want the 5D MKII
- Kyle
Definitely the Mac.
- John Clifton
Is this thing still going? I can't remember if I replied to this yet, but I say it depends on what will benefit you the most. Robert, you are a photo-maniac. I know that you have a few cameras laying around the house, but I don't know how many Macs you have. You have to remember that a 17" laptop sounds great on paper, but I know that you do a lot of traveling as well, so it might now suite your means. Then again, I would never keep $3,000 dollars in my pocket ;)
- Michael Forian
of course the mac - doesn´t matter what the second option is...
- Dieter Schwarz
I would buy the Canon 5D MKII but being a Nikonian I would end up buying the MacBook Pro and feel no remorse :)
- Carlos Lorenzo
MacBook Pro. I need a laptop really bad.
- Nick Humphries
The camera. 17-inch laptops are fricking ridiculous.
- Andru Edwards

- Morgan Haley
I'd definitely go for a MB Pro. My Rebel XTi and Panasonic GS180 video cam is doing me just fine.
- emon hassan
Forget the Mac, keep your current camera, and buy better lenses.
- Michael Krigsman
17 inch laptop is useless in term of mobility so I would go with the Canon
- Hadar Weiss

- Jeff Jones
Neither. I'd start with the Bonobo Pro Ubuntu Laptop for under $2000 and use the $1000 to max it out. http://system76.com/product...

Not the 5D, but some body+the best lenses, that actually lasts longer. Laptops are out of date in months and often die within 18, cameras and lenses last a lot longer
- Joelle Nebbe (iphigenie)
I would buy a Apple 17-inch MacBookPro, only cause I already have a SLR, so I dont need the Canon 5D MKII.
- Colide81 (James)
I would not spend it, id rather invest 3000 dollars with 10 shares of google
- Kyle Weller

@Ryan I am a Mac user, have been for a while. It's just my opinion, but $2800 for a piece of hardware in which you can the same or better specs on a PC, is quite a bit of branding.
- Spencer

I've been back and forth on this since the 17" was announced. I am very likely to upgrade to the 5DMKII this year. But I want a more powerful laptop to work on the huge files it creates. Chicken? Egg? Confused.

Canon 5D MKII for sure. MBP 15 is still chugging along after 2 years. And the 5D is still doing great after 1 year, but I would really like the new 5D.

I'm here to see the IFA show (huge consumer electronics show -- 200,000 attendees). I hear I'll be seeing new hyper efficient washing machines later today.

Apologies in advance to Chris Pirillo, but am I the only one here that has absolutely no interest in what's going on at Gnomedex?

Gnomedex Schomedex
- Kyle Lacy
Yeah doing a lot of hiding of all the posts here from my brother and my sister in law, both of whom I love dearly. I think I just don't get conferences in general, but I really have no idea what Gnomedex is really about. I know it's loosely about tech, but beyond that it's inscrutable to me. Then again it's not about computer security, home theater or gaming, which is probably why I have little interest in it.
- Alex Scoble
I with you. It's the Rejaw of tech conferences.
- Mark Trapp
Alex: it's a celebration of geekiness. The talks yesterday were really awesome. You'll probably like what I do next week at the IFA conference (a huge consumer electronics show in Berlin).
- Robert Scoble
I'll be honest. I went to gnomedex.com to watch. lol. This woman need to pipe it.
- Kyle Lacy
Okay. Honestly. Who cares? Do you really have conferences about the definition of the word blog?
- Kyle Lacy
I would blog about PAX while I am there next week, but I will be experiencing expo awesomeness in its purest form and so sadly will not be able to.
- Phil G
Hehe, Kyle...twenty years from now people will still be asking "what's a blog?"
- Alex Scoble
Exactly.. I'm just confused about all of this.
- Kyle Lacy
Alex, I never heard of Gnomedex, and I thought I was born a geek. I guess this is proof that I'm not. Or perhaps I'm a mutant geek? :)

Alex, "I remember my grandpa said something about blogs.."
- Pete Delucchi
I don't even know what Gnomedex is. Isn't GNome still a desktop environment for LInux? I so confuzed...
- Rahsheen ™, Coach Rah
Kyle: Gnomedex has always had a lot of bloggers/influentials. So, discussing blogging makes sense.
- Robert Scoble
Robert: I understand the concept of talking about blogging and discussing strategy. I'm just confused on the point of arguing over the use of the word "blog".
- Kyle Lacy
Gnomedex is Chris Pirillo's personal tech/geek conference. This is the 8th year he's held it. Hopefully Lindsay and I will get to go next year.
- Tad
I watched Beth Kanter's talk last night and it was pretty cool. Then I went ahead and watched the icanhascheezburger guy too, which was mildly amusing,
- Laura Norvig
Chris has said in the past that the opinions of people who attend Gnomedex hold "infinitely more weight" than the people who don't attend Gnomedex, so doubtful you -- or anybody else in this thread that's not there -- will be motivating him to change anything, Alex, see: http://chris.pirillo.com/2007...
- TDavid
It's pretty telling of a person that the only way they'll consider a position is if you pay them 600 dollars.
- Mark Trapp
@Tdavid I find it completely rediculous that Chris feels that way.
- Kyle Lacy
@MarkTrapp damn straight
- Kyle Lacy
I'm not trying to get Chris Pirillo to change Gnomedex. I'm just saying that going to a conference for the sole purpose of celebrating my nerdiness doesn't appeal to me at all. Oh and J. Phil, I'll be at PAX next weekend too.
- Alex Scoble
@Alex - then what is the point of your comment? To say it bores you and wondering if anybody else is bored? That's it? Heck, I'm bored by a thousand different conferences out there. It doesn't mean that it's not interesting to the people who are attending (or others without the $$$ to attend). As for PAX, will be there too and will be blogging about it :)
- TDavid
To start a conversation with other people who have no interest in Gnomedex...and to complain about all the posts in Friendfeed on it that I've had to hide so far :)
- Alex Scoble
I also would like to voice an opinion over Chris wearing a backpack... Somebody needs to buy him a man bag.
- Kyle Lacy
Alex are you saying you are bored using social media for a good cause? because we raised $3600 to send a young Cambodian woman to college thru. Beth Kanter's talk yesterday. Or are you saying you are bored with impacts of search on privacy because Danny Sullivan was able to call Random attendees on stage and pull bunch of info. on them from the web. or are you saying you are bored with LOLCATS? Or taking good tips on how to take awesome pictures? I am not sure if this is just a case of sour grapes bro.

I'm not a blogger, but I thoroughly enjoy getting together with others who have like-minded interests, at the very least for the motivation. It looks like a heck of a lot of fun to me, but then I'm a nerd.

Another perspective from a Gnomedex attendee: "Last year was my first Gnomedex and I was floored by the quality of people, speakers and attendees. I can say with no hesitation that this year is the best Gnomedex so far, by far." source: http://blog.davemadethat.com/2008...
- TDavid
But as participators in Social Media, it's interesting to hear about what the speakers are talking about. Is open ID irrelevant to the both of you, Alex and Kyle?
- Mona Nomura
Pretty much, Mona :)
- Alex Scoble
And Mark and Kyle: $600 is nothing, compared to a lot of blogging conferences out there, have you guys ever held a conference? Planned an event? :)
- Mona Nomura
I despise it with a passion... Maybe even more than I despise the Blogger comment feature.
- Kyle Lacy
Alex and myself do not need OpenID.. we float through websites.
- Kyle Lacy
Alex: Don't you want to know more about the services you're utilizing? Or do you just go in blindsided?
- Mona Nomura
Maryam- No, I'm bored of all the contextless twitter posts about how great everything is...and I'm not the type of person who will probably ever watch a video of a conference.
- Alex Scoble
Mona- I have my own special way of learning about things...and it usually doesn't involve going to conferences. :)
- Alex Scoble
-1 Mona. I wasn't talking about the irrelevance of a blogging conference in general. I was talking about a 10 mins section of gnomedex when they were arguing over the use of the word "blog". I thought it was entertaining. -2 Mona. :)
- Kyle Lacy
Honestly, I see bits and pieces flying around about Gnomedex, but I haven't really seen anything Official. Like "Here is the Gnomedex homepage" and " Here is a vid of a discussion about panties" or "TUne in live http://here.com to catch a presentation about bleh"
- Rahsheen ™, Coach Rah
You can find out about all those technologies without paying 600 dollars to Chris Pirillo. People are talking about those things every single day. The idea that there are only 230 people in the whole world are going to know about technologies that affect the world by paying 600 dollars and attending some conference is inane. Conferences are great: you get to meet and network with...

Kyle: Fair enough LOL I have minus points. @Alex: Well I think it's awesome Chris is streaming it live, for the people who couldn't be there. To each their own :) @Rah: live.pirillo.com, dude
- Mona Nomura
Mona I agree with that. I think it is awesome we can watch it live. Absolutely! +2 Mona

Mark: you don't need to pay Chris Pirillo anything to learn about what is going on on stage. The entire conference is being streamed live on Ustream.

Look guys, nothing against gnomedex, but I'm personally tired of blogging about blogging (or tweeting about twitter or using ff to talk about ff). Just frelling do something cool (tech related or otherwise) and talk about it.We need more content and less comments (I apologize for the irony of this comment).

It's difficult to be all things to all people at all price points. ;) Duncan Riley's post sums it up quite nicely, I believe - he groks the energy, the concept of shared experiences, etc. - http://www.inquisitr.com/2618... - can't "get that" online, really. That, and it's too bad nobody here was interested (including locals), because I would have done just about anything (before reading entries in this thread) for you to join us. ;) No joke...

Ok, this fascinates me, how do the people typing in squiggle-text read the english, then pop in and comment in squiggle, have a brief conversation with someone else in squiggle, and then it goes right back to english?

I love how the Iranians are starting a fight here about their favorite soccer team. Turns out we are classified as fans of Perspilise whose color is red. In California saying you are a red means you are either a Republican or a fan of Stanford. Problem is we are Democrats and fans of Cal, which are both blue.
