I was hoping Pete Cashmore was going to be on....
- Pearletta Wilson
Pete's great... Leo did say he would get him on soon.

Tease: The inside story on the Crunch Pad, mandatory ISP filtering in Australia, and the 3D tech in Avatar...
- Leo Laporte
What about the Yuppie Market? This looks cool and is a status symbol.
- Johnny Worthington
from iPhone
Agreed Johnny
- Bill Heslin
Pixel Qi is the only workable screen technology for reading on LCD
- Charbax
\m/ >.< \m/
- Chris Heath
specially the iphone's screen so fragile.. :(
- Nelson Mateo
Great format. Leo + Dvorak + hipster Blogger + Super smart guy = Win! (maybe get more people in studio. studio drinking is funny.)
- echostreamer
This is the first time they talk about Archos on twit, of course it's not as popular as it should be
- Charbax
I'm in total agreement with Lisa, i barely have enough money for an iphone, let alone buying every new shiny thing. We're normal, not the ones who buy every new shiny thing.
- Chris Heath
The iphone is $2500 for the 2 year contract, you must be rich if you have one of those
- Charbax
yeah...i agree with chris...as long as you have something that works for ya.. :)
- Nelson Mateo
hey, i'm not saying that i don't want to have all the coolest gear, but the reality is that i can't afford it. Same as most people.
- Chris Heath
hook me up with one of those tickets Leo :P...i wanna go
- Nelson Mateo
the world is moving towards 1 gadget for everything not the other way around (E reader) my opinion
- echostreamer
Kiki + Lisa + Mustang = WIN
- Johnny Worthington
from iPhone
spot on there Chris. trouble with proprietary stuff like ipods and kindles is that they are not upgradeable. when new ipod comes out only way to upgrade is to buy a new one!! can't afford that every 2 or 3 years i want something that will last i can get my money's worth out of
- Andy
Uh Oh...Australia conversation
- Bill Heslin
Can you hear me? It's all gone black?...... HELLO?
- Johnny Worthington
from iPhone
@pearletta always awesome to be on the show. I'm a big TWiT fan.
- mashable
Johnny! leo's DMing you to skype him!
- Chris Heath
Google Safe Search is filtering, what's wrong with filtering stuff so children don't see crap
- Charbax
Yes Johnny...lol...we can hear you...Excellent Johnny get on TWiT
- Bill Heslin
Leo is calling....it's like Santa calling you lol
- Bill Heslin
flitering should be done by the individual. I.e the parents, not by any state imposition
- Andy
$10 that he plugs FFhundercats!
- bear (aka Mike Taylor)
As he should Bear
- Bill Heslin
Leo isn't subbed to Johnny? FAIL
- Bill Heslin
that's one way to get leo to subscribe to you Johnny!
- Chris Heath
now he's going to be in trouble with his wife ;)
- bear (aka Mike Taylor)
oh boy...
- Nelson Mateo
lol ... epic win Lisa!
- Chris Heath
#scobleapprovedconversation
- Jeremy (on vacation)
it's ok as long as you can override the filtering if you so choose
- Andy
I knew I would hear Johnny Worthington on TWiT one day...Yay! it's about time
- Bill Heslin
it's wrong for parents to offload parenting to the govt imho
- Chris Heath
Filtering adult websites is totally ok. Just let adults access everything if they want through a registry. People that go around the main DNS can easily get detected and parents can be contacted by email (that DNS circumvention or packet encryption is happening)
- Charbax
#FFUNDERCAT live on TWiT
- Chris Heath
we should get Johnny to become the austrialian TWiT remote reporter
- bear (aka Mike Taylor)
Adult sites don't want filtering cause that could mean their death
- Charbax
it's happening as we speak, bear
- Chris Heath
Adult entertainment online is a multi-billion dollar industry. They hope to block DNS filtering by Governments
- Charbax
johnny's clipping a bit... i bet the editors take care of that... hmm stopped after a bit.
- Chris Heath
JCD is right... classic sacred straw man
- Chris Heath
He sounds great to me Chris...
- Bill Heslin
Parents or Lone Adults can log-in Adult unrestricted internet if they want
- Charbax
Wooo Hoooo FFundercats bump on TWiT...excellent
- Bill Heslin
sounds like australia hasn't removed the vestiges "big brother knows best" british style government
- bear (aka Mike Taylor)
Yo friendfeed peeps
- ralphsaunders
Children are being completely assaulted by porn and online violence. Filtering is needed
- Charbax
Leo- its lunchtime in Australia, not late at night.
- Mark Gustowski
But not by a government Charbax.
- ralphsaunders
can someone tell me what good iphone app i can use to use FF and comment and stuff?
- Nelson Mateo
Charbax - yes, it's needed - but by the *parents* - not the government
- bear (aka Mike Taylor)
It was just a matter of time...I'm very happy...as I'm sure Johnny is...Congrats Johnny and FFundercats...Great segment Johnny...
- Bill Heslin
Government must provide free broadband Internet access to all. Monopolistic private enterprises are the ones blocking innovation and no I would not want to leave it to AT&T to do the DNS filtering
- Charbax
just watched it two hours ago....ITS AMAZING!! :)
- Nelson Mateo
i like this andrew guy... i like the cut of his jib
- Chris Heath
The parents need one tool to do the filtering, simply DNS filtering and instant email alerts if DNS is circumvented or Encryption is used on a Child-only ADSL/Cable connection
- Charbax
software filters are BS and you cannot require parents to understand how to setup private filtering on their Windows/Mac crap-PCs
- Charbax
LOL @ Adam
- Nelson Mateo
best theater experience is the Mugar Omni Theater in boston at the science musem the IMAX dome screen is just crazy. you're so close to it and it wraps around you if you're able to sit in the middle http://www.mos.org/exhibit...
- Chris Heath
sky in the uk are supposed to be lsunching a 3d channel in the next year or so that you don't need glasses for. I heard something about it and can't find any info now. any links anybody?
- Andy
Having a hardware filter is fine Charbax but it should be opt-in.
- ralphsaunders
Nah, it should be standard and Adults should be able to opt-out
- Charbax
They provide barf bags with the 3D glasses. This whole 3D movie business is BS
- Charbax
Why? People should be able to view what they want.
- ralphsaunders
@Andy, you mean this? - http://www.slashgear.com/sky-3d-...
- ralphsaunders
Yeah, adults can decide to unlock an ADSL/Cable/Fiber internet connection opt-in. Even parents could decide to opt-in to unlock it completely or to unlock it only through a password
- Charbax
Charbax. you're a star. I heard about this when channel 4 had a 3d week the other month and then lost the link. thanks for that!!
- Andy
They want people do buy new TVs
- Charbax
thought there'd be a catch in it!!
- Andy
heheheh
- ralphsaunders
It would be a mammoth task to impliment though charbax.
- ralphsaunders
mind you, i don't have a hd tv yet so I could hold out a bit longer if i thought it would be worth it
- Andy
Nah it's just an upgrade of the DNS servers. And the Government could enlist a few thousand volunteer adults who can help tagging un-tagged adult sites and stuff using a browser plugin
- Charbax
Watchmen wasnt that bad
- Nelson Mateo
i saw the directors cut version of watchmen... i liked it.
- Chris Heath
Its never that simple Charbax.
- ralphsaunders
it could be that simple. I'd be ok if the Government simply ask Google to host the DNS server using Google Safe Search filters and unlocked through a parents-only password
- Charbax
they should just get set up with opendns
- Chris Heath
If they want to.
- ralphsaunders
of course
- Chris Heath
if you circumvent the main DNS, it is instantly detected so an email could be sent to the parents saying something like "your children might be circumventing DNS or using encryption "
- Charbax
Not sure how well that would scale...
- ralphsaunders
well something like this needs to be done. Seriously, kids just 10 years old even younger are faced with this and child psychologists say it's really not healthy
- Charbax
Audible Pick 1: James Caan, The Real Deal, http://www.audible.com/adbl...
- Leo Laporte
what's not healthy is parents not being involved in their children's lives and the raising of their children... that's what's not healthy (imho as usual)
- Chris Heath
Audible Pick 2: Charlie Rose http://www.audible.com/adbl...
- Leo Laporte
Wait... you want to ban types of TV now?
- ralphsaunders
Hahaha! JCD is a freak...
- Bill Heslin
They could easily filter TV programs for adult-only stuff if all TV was IPTV
- Charbax
Neil Gaiman rules! (Leo mentioned Coraline) also the sandman
- echostreamer
But TV monopolies wouldn't want that to happen. Real IPTV everywhere would mean people would get Youtube, Twit and all those decentralized shows directly onto their tv
- Charbax
i don't think i'll go 3D for a long long time... if at all
- Chris Heath
You're crazy Charbax

Hes right. I just got rid of TV. I dont have a TV or Cable (or even an antenna.) Twit.tv + Hulu + online sports = all you need
- echostreamer
I want it the other way round. i want the freedom of the internet but in the comfort of my armchair on my big screen tv
- Andy
i don't want to be sitting at my computer all night
- Andy
What you need to do is bring an armchair into your office
- ralphsaunders
lol @ralph it's just not comfortable watching on a computer. if i had a way of getting full internet access on my tv i would do it
- Andy
"smoking kills" on side of every fag packet in uk. nobody notices them anymore
- Andy
Don't you think people who want to smoke know its bad for them anyway?
- ralphsaunders
true. my mum in law smokes like a chimney even though her husband had a triple heart by-pass caused 80% by smoking all his life. she knnows danger but "needs" to smoke (her words)
- Andy
/me lights a fag....
- Bill Heslin
squarespace, plez add a drag and drop flash player (so i can post vid), thank you
- echostreamer
hey bill. i don't smoke but part of me wants to start just to cock a finger at all the nanny state warnings and political correctness around leading a healthy lifestyle. anyone else feel like that?
- Andy
Merry Christmas everyone!
- Pearletta Wilson
LOL...Johnny...congrats again...even though Leo doesn't realize it's not late in Australia...it's midday eh?
- Bill Heslin
Andy...I wish I could quit...It's a love/ hate relationship....I've smoked for almost 20 years now...I quit for about a year when a boyfriend wanted me to...but then he left...so it's more about the boyfreind than the smoking.... :) Counting on my genes to get me through....
- Bill Heslin
Great show TWiTs!
- Chris Heath
Watchmen wasn't god awful Leo. It just went over your head. Your favorite critic, Ebert, gave it 4/4 stars.
- Fnord
yes it was, sorry. great comic, movie fail
- echostreamer
Andrew Warner was great! I hope you have him on future episodes. Would also like to hear more from Johnny.

"Hey oboy and Dean, Replied over on Media Caffeine already but thought I'd paste it here in case you missed it. Have a great weekend. ---- Hey folks, Always love constructive criticism…helps us grow! That said, we’re a bit confused by the objection here…the post is intended to be tongue-in-cheek … we’re not running for Presidential Election in 2012 and we won’t have a policy of “War on Fail Whales”. The post is accompanied by a campaign banner featuring a piece of Pecan Pie and the slogan “Yes Pecan”. We saw we were neck and neck with Obama and thought that was pretty absurd - figured it would make a fun weekend post. There’s even a smiley face in the title to be extra-clear that we’re kidding. Perhaps it’s time for us to give up on the jokes and go back to the day job? :) Anyway, subbing to Media Caffeine cos it looks like you write some cool stuff. I’m also working on some Twitter Lists of some really awesome Twitter people to follow - loving the new feature! Have a great weekend..."

Re: Retweets Revisited: Commenting on Retweets is Important - http://mashable.com/2009...
"To argue against myself for a second, if Twitter were building this feature from scratch, it would make *no sense* to have commenting on retweets - that's what replies are for. Ultimately, I think it's gonna pan out like this: legacy users can continue using the "RT @" format as long as they like, but many new and existing users will see that the new way is much more streamlined. They'll use @replies when they want to comment on a tweet. That way everyone will be (kinda) happy and Twitter can make RTing simpler for new users."

Re: Google This: 5 Reasons to Switch to Bing - http://mashable.com/2009...
"Like most blogs, much of our ad revenue comes from Google AdSense: the claim that we're pandering doesn't hold. I do think there's a legitimate call for more balance here, though. Much of that comes from the title, which in retrospect might have been more balanced as "5 Things Bing Does Better". Google is, imho, still superior for basic search."
