if that voting system is right I'm very annoyed. I asked for an invite months ago, now all the numpties are all over it I'm not going to get a look in.

Photographer James Rhodes Thinks It’s Ok to Threaten People With Violence on the Internet - http://thomashawk.com/2009...

I was deeply troubled by comments made in a Flickr forum that I admin by Photographer James Rhodes. His Flickr account is here where he goes by thevikingjames. He’s on Facebook here. For some reason Rhodes seems to blame me for internet harassment that he feels he’s suffered on the internet for admining an uncensored group on Flickr. He claims to have stalked me at the Dream Machines Show this past year in Half Moon Bay and has written that I didn’t know how close I came to being mugged by him at that event. Note. This is someone that I’ve never met in life and had no signficant interaction with on the internet prior to him making these sorts of threats. He’s made threats against other people in this internet forum as well. I’m not going to get into the details of this specifically, other than to say that I found it offensive that he’d suggest that he was stalking me at a public photographer event. And that he’d threaten physical violence against people over differences in photography... more... - Thomas Hawk

On his web site, he says he's "someone a bit more talented than [Thomas Hawk]." Yet I can't find any of his photos. And threatening your family is lower than low. I'm sorry you're having to deal with this, Thomas. Good luck. - Celine Chamberlin

The sort of people who are capable of (and have a tendency to) carry out acts of violence, do it rather than talk about it on the internet. The sort that talk about it are usually morons who've been kicked around most of their lives and are just wannabe 'gangsters'. The internet is the only place that's going to happen and sadly for them, it only happens in a virtual, non real way. Not very satisfying. I wouldn't worry about him. - Gary

I think it has a bit of a way to go, then I'll love it - Nicholas Orr

Jeff: it's worth checking out. There is SOME value here, but not as much as the hype made us all believe. - Robert Scoble

I think Google Wave isn't and won't be a great public communication tool. But it does have potential when it comes to collaboration within teams. In the long run it could give apps like Campfire a run for their money. - Abhijeet Mukherjee

No invite yet. Lots of blog posts saying how it's going to change the world...but then the next sentence is that they haven't tried it yet. ?? - Jesse P. Luna

I finally figured out what I hate about it, though. It's based on email and makes the email metaphor even worse (And slower!!!) - Robert Scoble

I was in the Dev Sandbox version of Google Wave awhile ago, and it felt like I was in a really out of control AOL Chat room in the early 90s. - RAD Moose

I don't think I like the public waves, nor do I like being added to so many (testing) waves injudiciously. It's okay for now because I understand everyone wants to test it out, but I would prefer 1-1 or 1-few conversations instead. The best test is to _use_ it for something other than talking about Wave itself :) - Ahsan Ali aka. Slick

Mark: it's not incredibly stable yet - so it is very much a dev preview - Nicholas Orr

Google wave is awesome if only I could get it! Even if I sent an invite request few hours after presentation months ago , still no invite received :( - Dema from iPhone

i have an invitation coming, from a friend. however, since it is not here yet, all i can say is their strategy for creating demand and buzz is absolutely stellar. must confess i am not immune, i feel that when my invite "trickles" through, i will indeed be quite fond of it. disclaimer: i have ADD & love noise. a lot. - (dot)lizard kelly

I'm just starting to get it - but am online with it and very motivated to see if it's as awesome as the Googlers and community believe it is. It's fascinating to say the least, from what I've seen so far. I'm open to connect with others on the Preview via hollingt@googlewave.com - Tony Hollingsworth

Would love to experiment, was too busy when invite op came by, what's the best way to get one now? Robert, how's the baby? Pics were sooo cute. :) Best, Dave - dave_blogworld

Here's some ammunition for you Robert http://krynsky.posterous.com/google-... - Mark Krynsky

For such a strong platform, they totally bombed their marketing campaigns. Until you actually play with it, it's nearly impossible to understand what the heck they've created. - Sean Power

Holy shit, Scoble's back? - Matthew DeVries

I love the ambition and the real time capabilities, but I am cautious in terms of its utility. It will take some getting used to. - Louis Gray

I love that I am IN it, I have not yet actually used it tho... - Andrew Littler

I hate that I have no invite yet. - jcunwired

Given the big boom in traffic I got the last two days, Scoble, I assume yours has been immense. Front page of Slashdot, on Der Spiegel, you led TM yesterday. Nice job. - Louis Gray

Google Wave is mediocre, so it can't neither be loved or hated. Being mediocre is the worst thing you can do since it most often leave people indifferent. - rick

I can see ways in which it can be beneficial. I just don't see a public social network expanding from it as a service. It will find it's place and loyal userbase. Just like FriendFeed did. - Mark Krynsky

Though I haven't got invite yet but I still think when it is done and public for all of us there will be a lots of application which will make it more intuitive and useful. well for example twitter is not that much fun without its related apps. is it ? - Sunny (The Geek Lord)

I think it is too early for any assumptions - Sunny (The Geek Lord)

The protocol seems cool. - Mason Lee

From the video I couldn't understand what all the fuss was about. So far I can't find an invite, so as of right now I have to totally agree with you - RickMeasham from iPhone

I've try it, it seems cool but i need to test more the integration of external contents. - Roberto Scano

Wondering if it will replace Basecamp and Skype. If I could put those together it would be a major step for our company. Outsourcing to India is all of a sudden very easy because of "Rosy" the translation tool That's powerful. Didn't get a first day invite but look forward to testing it for our organization. - Brandon

Wave is baby at the moment and not even in beta version. So too early and useful for anything. While studying the protocol, it is indeed very intuitive - Sunny (The Geek Lord)

Brandon, there are a couple tools to allow conferencing from inside Wave, a gadget from Ribbit and I think Twillio has a robot or something. - James Williams

Anybody here written a wave server? - Mason Lee

Mason: I don't think so - Sunny (The Geek Lord)

If Google is the only wave-server game in town, it'll be kinda lame. They already read all my email. - Mason Lee

James: To combine the collaborator and the IM client would be big news for us. The promise is there but I still don't know if it's feasible. We will write all the todos and deadlines in BaseCamp and then move to Skype so it can be discussed. Doesn't seem very efficient and Wave seems to be the missing link. - Brandon

By the way here in Sydney where Google Wave is being developed we've had a couple of user groups at the Googleplex in Pyrmont. See hashtag on Twitter #gwsug - a couple of tweeps worth following are @domesticmouse @pamelafox @purserj @harrisony - they're deep dive and I believe have written a "wave server - Tony Hollingsworth

Robert, write more blog posts. :) - ryanhuff

I think it's our job to celebrate innovation and shots at leaps forward. It shouldn't matter so much that a product doesn't live up to the hype right now. The original web browser sucked, PINE sucked, my Tandy TRS 80 sucked, my first iPhone was a mess. But now, my email is great, my web browser is fast and full-featured, and my laptop is small and more powerful than ever. The iphone is... more... - Morgan

Morgan: Hear, hear. - Mason Lee

Here's a post from Sydney's local newspaper about the Wave team here: http://www.smh.com.au/technol... - Tony Hollingsworth

I think the product is too young to tell if it will be understood by user; and we as potential user need some time to understand the possibile uses of the product...I have an account, and I was in the dev sandbox, I think it's a briliant object... but still it's too young to tell. - andrea

It is a definitely interesting product. However, I need more than 1 other person to have it to see if I really know how it will function. - beachpig

It's dumb. I had it months ago. totally stupid. Then again, I don't like web based services. I only run desktop apps and despise Google stuff out of totaly control. so wave is dumb. email is better. - Adam Jackson

Andrea: I agree. I think the robots and gadgets people have developped/will develop will help better define the user experience. - James Williams

I haz not had wave yet!!! - Roberto Bonini from iPhone

I will tell you what. This is a lot better than using Google Wave. - Robert Scoble from iPhone

for this purpose yes it is - the only way it would happen in Google Wave is if we were all in a group that you sent it to :) - Nicholas Orr

How does it compare to MS-Office Groove? Not that I've used it, but it got pushed to my work machine, and the explanation of it given by it's own help sounds like what Wave was trying to do too. - Matthew DeVries

Google Wave seems too bloated... but we will see - joe

I think GW just takes some gettinmg used to and U need to make sure you kow what U use it for, it is NOT just another new kind of 'multimedia collaborative mail chat'. - oliver gassner

guess one should differntiate between the WAVE technology (protocol) and what everybody now is moarning about - the collaborative mail chat thing they build to demonstrate its capabilities. Looking back it might have been a good idea to take a well known application to get the potential transportet. but now people are rating this application instead of the technology WAVE which has an enourmous potential! Its push´n´pull on steroids - and thats what makes a difference. - psanner

Have not tried it, but real time collaboration looks promising. I wonder if it fits the way people are comfotable working - Michele Costabile

Still waiting for my invite to arrive from google, must be on a slow boat from china - Daryl Hunt on FF

Has potential for closed groups of people that all use wave. Further adoption depends on integration of legacy systems IMO. - bishoph

Slower than email, and just, well slow. I'd imagine it'll speed up a bit when 3rd party federation servers take the load off a bit. Even with the quirks worked out, it'll still just as exiting as email. When blogs start integrating Wave THAT's when things will really get started. If they deliver what they're promising it's going to bring about a new generation of social networking. - Philip from iPhone

I hate google - Farshad

I manage the IT for 5 people. Our biggest problem is making sure everyone sees what they are suppose to see. The idea that I can install Google Wave on a local server, and only have those 5 people in that instance is exciting. The Google Wave you are all trying ISN'T Google Wave, it's a free-for-all test of it the protocols. If you expect it to be another social media site, then you... more... - Johnny Worthington

I've reproduced this thread in a public wave: https://wave.google.com/wave... - You're live in Google Wave too. :-) - Kol Tregaskes

I haven't been able to test it. But shouldn't we all wait before we judge? I mean, it's relative new. I think people will start to find ways of how to use the service in a good way later on. - Patrik Johansson

This is the Internet, Patrik. It's not about being right, just first... - Johnny Worthington

Patrik, agree. It's a very early version of a protocol. I think it's an amazing start and has lots of potential. I'd like to see groups added and some control of what waves you are receiving. But don't forget you can use the protocol and place it in your own site, so we can have a FF that looks like GWave. ;-) - Kol Tregaskes

Johnny: Hehe yeah you're right:) Kol: If we could use Wave as FF I think it would be awesome! - Patrik Johansson

I mentioned this on today's show. If I can run my own instance, I could almost create my own 'realtime BBS'. If I could create my own network with just a select group of people (say movie buffs or photographers) to exchange files and talk in real time... WOW. We all go one about social networks controlling what we say and owning our content. If I could set up my own sites, free from rules or ToS... WOW x2 - Johnny Worthington

No comment!! If anyone is generous to send me a free invite, pls send to victed at yahoo.com Thank you :-) - victed from iPhone

google wave looks exciting, however the slow release to developers is making other current real-time standards like PSHB and SUP more attractive for immediate building - Mike Chelen

I have an invite and I've used it somewhat and I suppose I'm lucky I'm not a blogger who adds everyone on earth to every tool that I use in the hopes that I can parse all the noise, because I immediately saw the value in Wave. Rule number 1 of Wave: Don't talk about Wave. Seriously. The second you stop involving yourself in 20 concerrent waves about does Wave work? how is this looking?... more... - Chieze Okoye

Robert: "I will tell you what. This is a lot better than using Google Wave." is the epitome of what you're doing wrong. Honestly. Stop trying to use it like you use FriendFeed and start trying to use it like you use Google Docs and BAM, you'll see it. - Chieze Okoye

Chieze: is there anything different or better compared with google docs? - Mike Chelen

well, the thing that I like about it is that it combines the ease of collaboration of GDocs with the basic (sorta) paradigm of email/IM to improve the conversation part of creating a document. In GDocs, the communication with your colleagues/friends part of collaboration always took a back seat to the creation part. In Wave, I think it pretty successfully melds the two. - Chieze Okoye

That said, neither facet in Wave independently (communication or creation) is as good as the two tools that exist now (Gmail and GDocs) but combined, it makes a lot of stuff easier. Specifically the kind of email threads centered around a central idea or final product (group report, list of who's bringing what to which party when, etc). - Chieze Okoye

Love it. Even at this preview stage, I'd hoped for greater control over the Inbox - after all, it's supposed to be "email, invented today" - so, in its current form, it's not ready for mainstream/widestream adoption, but with a bit of polish from the usability experts, it's going to redefine how inter and intra organisation communication and collaboration takes place. - Andrew Terry

And also, there's tremendous ability to keep Waves on topic (specific tools and actions available to remove thread-jackers and/or their non-sequiturs, add people as they become pertinent, remove people as they become unrelated, etc), instantly provides value to me over emails. There are definitely shortcomings and rough edges, no doubt, but the potential is quite clear when you know where to look. - Chieze Okoye

Chieze: might address a few gdocs issues- that tracking revisions becomes difficult with many edits, and the lack of a realtime api. interesting, thanks - Mike Chelen

Yeah, good point Mike, I hadn't even considered the API issue. As far as your first point, the revision part of Wave (playback mode) is already (to me) superior than the one in GDocs in terms of allowing me to follow all the changes that went into a document/Wave. With some more granularity and control (rollbacks, diffs between non-successive states, etc), it will be nigh perfect. - Chieze Okoye

its not what i expected it to be, not from google, i guess they are mortal too. - imran

for me it looks like groupware done right. Because it will really elevate in a corporate envirement when there is a office integration and you can make all you're office stuff in a colaborative way with all office products with all mayor plattforms and with people outside the intranet - mosta from AndFeed

there is a alternative server called pygowave where you can get a test account. It has not as much features bud you can run it yourself - mosta from AndFeed

Does the invite have to go to my gmail address? Or can I get one at M8R-v2hjnm@mailinator.com ? - Justin Goldberg

haven't tried it yet. - Thomas Hawk

can only tell that once my close friends join in...till now just experimenting. From the discussions that i saw till now, learning curve is pretty slack for G-Wave...all the new terms, bots, not to mention the inconsistent behaviour. But then its only a preview.. :) - Roshan Ramachandran

Still waiting for my invite. It's been two days since someone invited me so they must be really backed up sending them out. - Mike Doeff from iPhone

with my limited use of WAVE...huge potential once more extension are built integrating with other Google services and offerings...using iGoogle page to consume information it would be nice to choose items and insert them into a WAVE for collaborative discussion / work related = GAnalytics extension would make it efficient to discuss metrics - shayne catrett

FriendFeed != Google Wave - I think that's why you're frustrated. You're trying to solve a problem it wasn't meant to solve. - Jesse Stay

In hindsight, I'd say the biggest problem with Wave is the way they decided to roll it out. If they'd simply given invites to groups of people who actually have a reason to try to work together and collaborate on real projects...rather than 100K unrelated developers/early adopters/pundits... I think much of the unwarranted backlash could've been avoided. - Ken Sheppardson

Ken, but then Robert would be complaining of why he hasn't gotten a Wave invite yet ;-) - Jesse Stay

Yeah, you just can't win, can you? ;-) - Ken Sheppardson

Ken: I use more collaboration software than anyone I know, so I'm pretty qualified to try this stuff out. - Robert Scoble

Andrew Terry: the problem is that the email metaphor is very unproductive. THAT is what I hate about Google Wave!!! Thank you for identifying it. There are far better metaphors for collaboration. Oh, and I get a lot more done in Google Docs than I ever will in Google Wave. Why? Because documents are a far more productive collaboration metaphor than email is. - Robert Scoble

Shoot! I wish I had a Google Wave invite so I could try it out for myself! Hope it doesn't take too long to get one. - Jannifer @wordsforliving

Jannifer: you already have FriendFeed. Wave will make you say "meh." Oh, OK, I can watch you type in real time and see just how bad a typist you really are. - Robert Scoble

If someone can send me an invitation I'll tell you if I hate or love it ;) napolux@gmail.com - Napolux from twhirl

Robert: Yes, having FriendFeed does remove a lot of the wow factor of Wave. The real power is in the apps(gadgets and robots) which besides the featured gadgets is uncharted territory. - James Williams

I'm dying to get my hands on it. Everytime I get a new email I'm hoping it's my invite - Mark Hendy

Robert: But don't we have to find a replacement for FriendFeed? FriendFeed is the best, but how long will it be here? :-( - Jannifer @wordsforliving

I think Wave has a story for FF's threaded comments(IMHO it has a story for most of FF). What it needs is roles on a Wave so that I can allow ppl to reply to a blip that was created from one of my social media actions yet disallow them from deleting anything but their comments/replies. Also being able to have my "personal social media wave" be updated when I comment on someone else's "social media wave" would be nice so I that all parties can own that interaction. - James Williams

Am I the only one who is SERIOUSLY concerned about the power Google has over our lives and businesses? Do we really want to keep giving them more and more access to what we do? I know they can compile it anyway but we can at least not make it so easy for them. I have had access to dozens of Google Analytics accounts. When Google is responsible for 50-70% of the traffic and 50-70% of the... more... - Internet Strategist

I don't love it or hate it. It's still smoke and mirrors until we get a chance to put our hands on it. It has potential, for good and for bad. How we use it will determine which prevails. Until we use it, it's just a phantasm. - Ken Camp

Hard to say since no one has actually seen it yet. - Glen Campbell, B.A.

I have not used it, but I have a question - Should Google have waited little longer to polish it? because if people don't like it or they don't get invites they are likely to forget it ? If Google wave was from other company say xyzwave, people would not have created such a hoopla. To Non-geek public :What I am feeling is that majority of people don't have any idea what Google wave is and those people are likely to complain without fully understanding it. - ashish

I agree completely with Ashish. - Red Label

Reviewing Wave now is like reviewing the iPhone without any apps. It's just a platform. - Steven Cains

It's the frame of a house that could be quite something. - Aron Michalski

you're an idiot lol jk ;) however the whole debate has got me thinking about how i use twitter and i have decided to change my approach cheers! twitter(at)locspoc - Loc

I'm certain I'd love Google Wave if: a) Google thought I was cool enough to have it; and b) I had it. - Karoli

I don't know how to feel about Google Wave! - Chris, Taskerrific Guy

Robert: Have you tried wave out with any of the Building43/Rackspace folks on project work? A team of 3 or 4 people or so? Anything work related? I'm not trying to be snarky, I'm genuinely curious how it's worked out for you when it's with a group tying to create something collaboratively vs general tire kicking stuff. - Ken Sheppardson

I think Google Wave is going to be one of those Google products that never really takes off. - Steven (optionshiftk)

I think I should at least try it before forming an opinion, and since nobody has saw fit to invite me, I can't do that at this time. I think your request for opinions is a bit to early for most of us. - April Russo (app103)

My ocean is flat. No wind, no waves. - MiniMage TKDteacher of FF

I'm still waiting for someone to invite me. But from what I'm seeing wave is more like a framework for people to build upon, not a user application itself. - Sung W. Lim

@Sung - that's basically my conclusion as well (http://macrolinz.com/macroli...) and a few people seem to agree with me that the beta is really more about figuring out what the UI should actually be for that framework than just polishing the UI they currently have. Most people are too caught up in the hype though and don't know what they're looking at and so get disappointed pretty fast. - Her Lindsay-ness

+1 to Lindsay. Also, there will be many UIs but it will take time. - Ahsan Ali aka. Slick

Robert, far from idiot, but you really surprised me Thursday (too fast & decisive), digesting the new post. - Majento

I'm bullish. It seems like a lot of noise now, but when I saw the demo I saw how much more useful it could be for certain types of communication. - Adam Loving

Option #3: Did you not get an invite to Google Wave? - Michael Pinto

Would love to express an opinion but didnot get an invite even though I applied some time ago a bit sad being as I live in Australia and Wave is being developed here. - Daryl Hunt on FF

I would comment Robert but as I didn't get an invite to Google Wave, I can't. - Sandra Large

Even if you use it for its intended purpose (collaboration among a pre-selected group of people), Google Wave still needs a lot of work. - John E. Bredehoft

You should do a public wave with this question, and add the poll extension so people can vote and comment at the same time - Jesse Stay

Tag me when you do though so I know you did it. :-) - Jesse Stay

like, want to try more usual conversation stuff before being sure, but like the embedding, sharing, etc - immaterial

never got a chance :( - testbeta

Still waiting to try it out. - Paul L. McCord Jr.

Robert, thanks for opening the discussion. I really would like to read about more evidence and facts about the experience, rather than opinions without a foundation or whining about not having it. - Luis Valdes

+1 Sung and Lindsay. Actually, this isn't even a beta, it's an alpha preview. - Chieze Okoye

If you try to use wave as a replacement for facebook, twitter or friendfeed it's not going to work. Lots of people want it to be the revolution in social media when in fact its aimed more at private communication. as a way to communicate between a few friends it's fantastic although it still needs some work. Just remmeber its a replacement for email and im - Jamie Vidamour

I'm using it and like it. Yes, it needs work but the potential is there. I like that I can add apps to it and that I can use it with some of the same tools in basecamp. - Johann Lohrmann

It's okay Robert and has potential especially for collabortory working together. However, whether or not the general public is going to drop e-mail and IM and use this instead is a moot point, as its not easy to 'suss out' - Sandra Large

@Sandra I don't think the basic useage is any more complicated than email, people probably just need to have their hand held through a simple example conversation with one or two others & they'll be able to use it - public waves & advanced features can come later if needed - immaterial

"The FBI sting culminated in Thursday's arrest after Smadi parked a 2001 Ford Explorer Sport Trac, supplied by the FBI, in the garage of the emerald-green glass office tower that is home to many businesses, including a Wells Fargo Home Mortgage office. Inside the SUV was a fake bomb, designed to appear similar to one used by Timothy McVeigh in the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing. Authorities say Smadi thought he could detonate it with a cellphone. After parking the vehicle, he got into another vehicle with one of the agents, and they drove several blocks away. An agent offered Smadi earplugs, but he declined, "indicating that he wanted to hear the blast," authorities said. He then dialed the phone, thinking it would trigger the bomb, authorities said. Instead, the agents took him into custody." - he really got played - bob from Bookmarklet

Nice. - Paul Buchheit

So the FBI gave him an SUV with a fake bomb and a cell phone, told him to park the SUV under an office building, and then told him to dial a number with the cell phone? It seems pretty weak. - Gabe

"Got played"? How is this not entrapment? - Andrew C

We seem to be inserting our own words here, how do we know that the FBI told him exactly what to do, rather than making the means available? Even if they did tell him exactly what to do, how would this individual fare if "entrapped" by Al Qaeda recruiters at a Mosque? If there are indeed people out there who function as mindless automatons and do exactly what they're told committing high crimes that could kill hundreds of innocents, should we really consider them harmless? - Ray Cromwell

WOW, another FBI success. FBI can do this with thousands of McVeighs in US too, but their target remains same, to convict a targeted group, waist millions of dollars on fake cases, fail to catch real terrorists, similar to Japanese prosecution during and after WWII. US remains hostile place to this targeted group. - imran

So this guy is now the victim? /rollseyes - Spencer

Ray: The FBI is supposed to be catching criminals, not creating them. Imagine if the FBI convinced some loner to try drugs, then arrested him and put out a press release bragging about how they're keeping America safe from dangerous junkies. I would say that's ridiculous; they should be going after the drug pushers and manufacturers. The FBI should be going after guys preaching jihad and making bombs, not the millions of depressed loners who hate America. - Gabe

Gabe: 100% right u r sir - imran

But this guy went further than just hang out on a Jihadi BBS, when given the chance to hook up with an imagined "real" terrorist network, he jumped at the chance to a acquire a bomb. I know there have been instances of the FBI almost bribing or coaxing impressionable teen wannabes into 'joining' al-qaeda and then busting them, but this guy seems from the facts to have to be a slightly... more... - Ray Cromwell

Ray: If the FBI were in fact selling fake bombs and waiting for people to buy them and plant them, that would be a perfectly reasonable use of police resources. If Smadi already had a target and was in the market for a bomb, which the FBI conveniently supplied, then you could make a good argument that the FBI foiled a terrorist plot. However in this case it appears as though they found a guy they could manipulate, then gave him a bomb and told him what to do with it. - Gabe

It stil disturbs me that there are people so easy to manipulate into committing mass murder. This isn't manipulating kids into committing some simple property damage or other form of protest, so I am conflicted as to how much sympathy to give this guy. He was an adult, apparently with full mental capacity and maturity, knowing agreed to commit mass murder when asked or influenced by others, and apparently believed he was carrying it out. It doesn't sound like he needed all that much coaxing or arm twisting. - Ray Cromwell

Ray: The FBI isn't going to put out a press release indicating how much they had to convince somebody to become a criminal, but normal people don't take convincing to torture (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki...) or kill (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki...) people they don't know. And remember, the FBI is saying "Push this button to do your duty to Allah", not "Don't push this button or you'll kill hundreds of innocent people". - Gabe

But Gabe, given the lack facts available, you're speculating in the opposite direction. We don't know that the FBI actually coaxed or commanded him to do anything. I know about those experiments (read _The Social Animal_ a long time ago), but one thing that was made clear was that it was response to authority that was the inducement. It is not clear that the FBI said "We're the FBI, now... more... - Ray Cromwell

Ray: From the arrest warrant (http://www.investigativeproject.org/documen...) I can tell that there's very little evidence that Smadi would have done any violent act without the FBI's intervention. Obviously they're going to cherry-pick the most incriminating messages and give them the worst interpretation. Smadi may very well be a dangerous terrorist who needed to be captured, but all I see is an unstable, misguided teenager. The FBI is a bunch of con men, and Smadi was just an easy mark. - Gabe

My 30,000th Photograph on Flickr The photo above represents my 30,000th photograph published to Flickr. It’s a milestone and part of my continuing goal to publish 1,000,000 photos to Flickr before I die. This photograph is from one of my favorite shoots. A shoot I did with my wife and children a ways back in this storm drain in Big Tujunga Canyon. - Thomas Hawk

Hasan, I did stop using Flickr for a while over some some censorship issues a while back. As you know I feel pretty strongly about censorship. I changed my mind though and couldn't really stay away. - Thomas Hawk

"My 30,000th Photograph on Flickr" way to go @thomasHawk. I remember reading yr 10^6 & thinking thats ambitious. Now the Q. In the back of my mind I've been thinking about "how do you a) backup online against flickr takedowns? b) manage & curate the images as times goes on: cost, time etc? - Peter Renshaw

Well mostly I back up my photos by using drobos as primary storage. I also keep another copy of my finished photos on hard drives off location. I upload pretty much the same photos to Flickr and Zooomr. So I've got two copies. Additionally, almost all of my flickr photos are fed into clustershot where they can be marketed for stock photography. I always upload original sized photographs... more... - Thomas Hawk

"BAGHDAD – The Iraqi reporter who threw his shoes at former President George W. Bush in protest was freed from prison on Tuesday and, unrepentant, he harshly condemned the U.S. presence in his country and accused authorities of torturing him. Muntadhar al-Zeidi's stunning act of protest in December made him a hero for many in and outside Iraq. It struck a chord with millions in the Arab and Muslim worlds who have been captivated and angered by daily images of destruction and grieving since the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq in 2003. But nine months later, there was little public outpouring of support for him, a sign of how things have changed." - Thomas Hawk from Bookmarklet

Mr. Scoble, are you using Chrome on your Mac? - Eugene Teng

I have been using the Developer Release for Mac. I like it a lot. http://www.google.com/chrome... - Eugene Teng

it was sad good bye to firefox a while ago - imran

I've tried to go back to Firefox so I can use userscripts but I just can't stay away from the speed and slimness of Chrome. Everything looks and feels kindof off when I try anything else. - metalerik

I am currently running v4 dev channel and I can tell you it is even faster again than v3.0. Chrome absolutely rocks the speed! - Travis Koger

looking forward to when they have it for the Mac. - Thomas Hawk

Still says Chrome 3.0.x is up to date. Hmmmmmm - Roberto Bonini

And they still have yet to integrate Google Bookmarks. Seriously, that's the only thing holding me back from using Chrome full-time, they have no good way for me to use my online-bookmarks-of-choice, even though it's their own bloody product. Oh, and lack of proper addons. No AdBlock = No Thanks. - Otto

Otto, v4 gives you add ons and bookmark sync, unfortunately not using Google Bookmarks. - Travis Koger from iPhone

What is "bookmark sync"? If it's just copying my bookmarks between computers, then I have no use for it. I don't want local copies of bookmarks, I want my bookmarks live, synced from the internet, residing in memory until I close the browser. Hell, the Google Toolbar for Firefox has this. What's the holdup? - Otto

Agreed with otto. Until there is plugins like Adblock it won't make me change full time. - Wei-Yen Tan from fftogo

Otto, your bookmarks will be stored in Google Docs if you are using version 4 sync. Google docs will become your bookmarks manager. - Eugene Teng

The extensions are coming to Chrome. Sample Extensions - http://dev.chromium.org/develop... - Eugene Teng

Palm Pre is to Apple iPhone as Goole Chrome is to Mozilla Firefox. Its all about the add-ons/Apps - Paul P Miller

My default browser just got better. Nice. Keep at it Google-Chrome-folks! - Matt Penning

I switched to Chrome from Firefox full-time not long ago. I also had to switch from the dev channel to the beta one, but otherwise, I haven't looked back. I have to use Firefox for some specific things, like online banking, but Chrome's so much cleaner and faster than anything else. - James Myatt

I'm on 4.0.206.1 anyway, so, yippee! - Christopher A Carr

These dev builds are so nice and stable, why not? - Christopher A Carr

Waiting for mac support. Comeon guys!! - Drew Lucas from iPhone

I keep getting sucked into safari by using me.com which is more characters than .mac ..syncing my info across the cloud to all devices on there for a while now. I'd like to see a few more features or even developers opening it up a bit more. - Tyson from BuddyFeed

Tabs on Safari suck. - Christopher A Carr

Chrome shortcuts - http://www.google.com/support... - Brent - Long Live Rock

Eugene: I don't use Google Docs much, and if I did, it seems like a poor place to put my bookmarks. I have a thousand or so bookmarks in Google Bookmarks already. It easily integrates with my Firefox installation. Why would I want to switch to a lesser, half-baked, solution? Again, this new Bookmarks Sync feature in Chrome is crap. It's a reason for me to NOT use it. They redeveloped the wheel, for no reason, and gave it corners in the process. - Otto

With all the hubbub about Obama's back-to-school speech, I wonder what people would say about JFK's famous line, "Ask not what your country can do for you -- ask what you can do for your country" if it were uttered today, by our current president.

I think no matter what Obama says, some people somewhere will find offense. - April Buchheit

The thing that bugs me is that it doesn't take much to infuriate certain groups of people especially during the current administration. I certainly don't recall people getting their panties in a bunch over stuff GWB has said about kids needing to stay in school or OB/Gyn's not being able to give their love to women (or something along those lines). - April Buchheit

Obviously it was different people getting upset about Bush, but anyone that high profile will attract a lot of criticism. - Paul Buchheit

I wrote "If you quit on school – you’re not just quitting on yourself, you’re quitting on your country" on my board following the speech. I thought it was the most powerful thing Obama said today to my kids. So many of the inner city children that I teach just give up. It gets too hard. Life is hard! Don't give up. I try to teach that every day - now I have the president's words to guide me. - Marci Golub

Paul: Yeah, I know, but it just didn't seem like it was getting as much of the limelight as now. I guess maybe it wasn't as sensational? Perhaps, now, certain news outlets/interest groups are fanning the flame? - April Buchheit

but friend updates are....? ;) - Marshall Kirkpatrick

I agree that whatever "outrage" is probably silly though, but I expect a lot of silly outrage -- what else can they do? - Paul Buchheit

You guys are so cute. - τorƍue

btw, http://news.google.com/ mentions the speech, but I don't see any mention of controversy (not that I've read any of the articles). - Paul Buchheit

http://memeorandum.com was full of discussion of it yesterday and over the days before. school districts all over the country debated showing it, parents kept their kids home from school, etc. It was a pretty big deal. I don't mean to give you a hard time about it Paul, I was just surprised and am a believer in following the news to some degree. - Marshall Kirkpatrick

I thought the speech was pretty pointless. He didn't say anything that we haven't been told by our teachers for the past 8 years. (Stay in school. Work hard. Don't give up.) Hardly worth taking out one of our classes for. That's just my opinion, though. - Alex

You're probably right Marshall. I still have very mixed feelings about the news though -- I think there's a tendency to get caught up in the daily drama and miss the big picture. - Paul Buchheit

I haven't seen it yet but my wife described it to me and it sounded really good. Made me think all the more about how remarkable it is that we have a President who was raised by a single mother. The way my wife described it sounded like it could have really spoken to some of the kids most at risk of not staying in school. - Marshall Kirkpatrick

If it causes more people to watch the speech, then perhaps the outrage will work to Obama's favor. All politics aside, I really like what Obama's background says about our country -- I would much rather have a president who came from "nowhere" than one whose father was also president. - Paul Buchheit

Paul: I agree. That's why I'll be a shoo-in when I run for President. :) Not only did I come from nowhere, I was born in a third world country known for its garbage mountain. -- Ok, I know I don't qualify being that I'm a 'ferner,' but it worked for Obama, right? ;) - April Buchheit

April, I don't think your kind is allowed to be president. - Paul Buchheit

April: just get some dinky Pacific Island state to make up a birth certificate for you, and you can be President. - Gabe

I never like that saying anyway. Nationalism is so evil. - SuezanneC Baskerville

I think that there is a lot more commentary now than 50 years ago, because there are several 24 hour news tv channels, not to mention their websites, and the bazillions of political bloggers. What is interesting is that so many of them focus on the same inane details, like the use of the word "stupidly", where in theory, we could have a much more diverse amount of information on the news. However, it is much easier to simply comment on something than to actually do research. - Robert Felty

Yesterday morning, I'd say nothing because it's not a good parallel. I'm a bit bummed that schools actually opted out. I'm not an "Obama supporter," but I don't like the anger games. It's unhealthy. - Jason Nunnelley

Israeli Government Ads Warn Against Marrying Non-Jews | World | AlterNet - http://www.alternet.org/world...

"The Israeli government has launched a television and Internet advertising campaign urging Israelis to inform on Jewish friends and relatives abroad who may be in danger of marrying non-Jews. The advertisements, employing what the Israeli media described as "scare tactics," are designed to stop assimilation through intermarriage among young Diaspora Jews by encouraging their move to Israel. The campaign, which cost $800,000, was created in response to reports that half of all Jews outside Israel marry non-Jews. It is just one of several initiatives by the Israeli state and private organizations to try to increase the size of Israel's Jewish population. According to one ad, voiced over by one of the country's leading news anchors, assimilation is "a strategic national threat," warning: "More than 50 percent of Diaspora youth assimilate and are lost to us."" - Thomas Hawk from Bookmarklet
