I just realized that I'm on day 50 of my 30-day "stop using Microsoft OS/software" challenge. Liking it so far.

Gary: what do you use ubuntu? or mac? Matt does a lot of 30 day challenges, sometime ago i saw book reading on his blog
- ffcode
Redhat, Ubuntu for work, Mac for home.
- Gary Burd
Gary: 4 years? Did they wrong you personally? I can't care enough one way or the other about a company to love/hate their products to such an extent. Now if they mess with my livelihood that's another story....
- Hayes Haugen
I primarily switched to Mac at home because I think OS X is easier to use and maintain than Windows. Microsoft did mess with my livelihood, but that's another story...
- Gary Burd
After I posted I realized that I was still holding my Apple grudge. They messed with my livelihood too. But it's ancient history and I should probably move on. Probably.

Don't use your mouse for 30 days? Rely on keyboard shortcuts alone? That would be a cool learning experience!

I'm going to shoot for no Microsoft operating systems for 30 days. My laptop is normally WinXP and my main home computer is WinXP (with an Ubuntu machine as sidekick), so it will be a switch.

What are you switching to? OS X? Ubuntu?

Actually, it missed one important thing - a HUGE ad, taking up the top half of the screen, for a substance that is just as effective as Viagra (which was banned in 2011).

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.

Jared, you can embed Friendfeed threads by clicking "share" on any item and then copying the iframe URL. Though this isn't a replacement for the forum, I figured it would at least be an interesting and perhaps feature-inspiring experiment to make use of the outage :)

Normally you think of web pages being faster to update than client-side software downloads. In this case though, Chrome updates near-weekly, much faster than Hotmail did. Another illustration that velocity and speed of iteration matter.
- Matt Cutts
The fix was included in the latest Chrome update: http://googlechromereleases.blogspot.com/2009... "Windows Live Hotmail now works. While the Hotmail team works on a proper fix, we're deploying a workaround that changes the user agent string that Google Chrome sends when requesting URLs that end with mail.live.com."

"Normally you think of web pages being faster to update than client-side software downloads. In this case though, Chrome updates near-weekly, much faster than Hotmail did.

Omar, it's true that I do consider a web service easier to update than client-side software. Google runs web services with many users and servers too and we launch changes weekly or faster. At any rate, it's great to know that Hotmail's next service release will address this issue--thanks for mentioning that.
