So instead of me selling the company - (getting taxed on the income, and giving what's left to charity) - that move of giving away the company to charity then having the charity sell it saved about $5 million in taxes.

Hilarious - may all come to pass before 2018.

Love it. But 2018? I'd except to be able to get Friend.com directly through the HUD in my flying car by then... Only silversurfers (like us) would still use "web browsers" in 2018.

Twitter feed not available? That may come to pass at 10:30.

And what's up with "low karma comments"? I thought the karma thing left us in the seventies... but yes, everything comes on cycles...

You've got the Google thing backwards :)

Hey, I just noticed I'm in the screenshot. :D @Paul: ? What's backwards, where?

I think Paul's saying that in 2018 ff will own google

It's comforting that hitting monkeys will still be as popular in 2018 as they are now.

One thing they got wrong: by 2012, Paul will have started his own country southwest of Alaska on an artificial island. It'll be called Free Festivusland, and it'll get the top-level domain “ff”. FriendFeed will then be http://ff/ — no dots or coms or nets or orgs.

I think the web will be voice and audio driven in 10 years, or at least it will be available. There's even some startup now that can sense nerve pulses to the vocal chords to know what you'll say before you actually say it.

I think comments won't be replaced by nested commented, just like @ in twitter, many people like this.

Mike Reynolds, now I'm scared. Very scared. I'll get myself in trouble before I actually hear what I'm saying (rather than after).

The Adobe Updater tells me it wants to update Acrobat every couple of days, but never manages it. Sounds like my uncle George that will come by to fix the back light.

And it keeps wanting to install Yahoo toolbar. What possible useful connection could there be between these two products?

yeah, not as bad as google update, but still nasty

It's a terrible piece of software. Also essential: there's a really bad Flash exploit they just patched two days ago.

And when tables take longer than 3 minutes, just get one big graphic and splice it into several pieces.

What always kills me is when I'm discussing a CSS design person, and they say something like "of course, we'll float:left that, give it width:150px, then we'll give this thing a giant left margin, put some clear:both at the bottom to fix some bug or other, etc., etc.". I say "This is a completely dynamic app. Just throw it in a table, and it will work fine." They say "That wouldn't be...
