Very smart of Amazon to leverage the 10 million iPhones. I imagine they'll get some Kindle sales too if people don't like the size of the iPhone for reading. - Ken Gidley

FWIW tagged PDF files do reflow correctly. - Sam Levine

Louis did an excellent review of this service. I discovered the service last night, and I'm absolutely hooked on it. Check his post for beta invites as they wont last long. - Mike Fruchter

http://likaholix.com/bstern - Its a great idea, do not see it in any way as competing with FF. - Bo Stern

Love the t-shirt too, would love one! - Sally Church

A large portion of the Apple Mac community is waiting for Apple to refresh the Mac Mini line. We learned today that the next generation of Mac Mini computers will be based on Nvidia's Ion platform. An Nvidia partner confirmed to us that Apple was the first to receive samples of Nvidia's Ion platform, which we covered extensively during CES. In fact, Apple received prototype units long before Nvidia partners who opted to work on Ion. We're told that some partners still only have blue prints of Ion. - Leo Laporte

i've read a similar thing on macrumors -gradually gearing their hardware to support opencl come snow leopard. in fact, here's the link: http://www.macrumors.com/2009... - sɹǝɥʇɐǝɟʞɔɐןq

Great news, Evernote is a great app, I can't do without it. - Nick Taylor

Troika Dialog!? - Gluek

Yeah, not exactly traditional; I think we'll see more of that as the US VC dries up... - Nick Taylor

This sign seems to be a good motto for a friendfeed room. Thanks for joining us -- we are driving home now. - Robert Scoble from email

That was a great show! The sign is great :) - Justin Levy

and FriendFeed for in-between cases? A quick movie/picture link, for instance. Or something mid-size, e.g., longer than 140 characters but shorter than 2000 words. - Bora Zivkovic

I am "chewing" this topic on Twitter, FF, Facebook et al in my latest blog post. - Martin Lindeskog

Of course, I recognize Paul will always be the founder of GMail, not former, but you know what I mean. - Louis Gray

Great post. I don't know what the rush is to discount and downplay new services. Especially claiming FF will fail, it's just short-sighted. - Mo Kargas

I forgot Paul's to blame for not having drag and drop in Gmail. What are the hot FF alternatives at the minute? ;-) - Duncan Riley

Great insight to photography shot with 5D's and Red cameras. - Robert Scoble

Thanks for the tip - looking forward to digging through this site. Love the videos. - Cale Bruckner from twhirl

Awesome non-HDR(!) photo - Thomas Bøhm from Mento

wow, great photo. - Norm McKenzie

Tonight I couldn't use you enough. Every song was amazing. Huzzah. - Steve Isaacs

Weird, I can't upload to Kyte.tv from China but Viddler worked fine. This is just one video I shot at the end of the line where they test thousands of drives using tons of these robotic testers. - Robert Scoble

Ryan: I put my Flip camera up to the glass protecting the robot. - Robert Scoble

This author says Microsoft Azure is better than Google App Engine. A little biased. App Engine is out. Microsoft's offerings are not. - Robert Scoble

@JimBergman oh and google is running search and adsense on GAE? riiiighhhtt..... Listen, reasoned debate and banter I can stand. Hair-brained 'MS doesnt know the cloud' musings I cannot because it's such a baseless viewpoint.I can obviously ignore your passive aggressive 'stop being a troll' line as you have yet to add a single sustainable insight or opinion to this whole thread. I have critically analyzed the 2 platforms, have you? - jonpauldavies

A touch harsh even for the register? :) "The Azure Services Platform is a cluster* of software that can be broken down into four basic parts: Windows Azure, .NET Services, SQL Services, and Live Services. To get a general idea of what each is, you should probably read the sixteen-page white paper. It is designed to compete with Amazon's Web Services and Google's App Engine - that is, once it gets over one slight hitch: tl;dr." - Dion Almaer

a vitriolic rant, topped off with an olive branch extended to Redmond at the end. Like finding a sugar cube at the bottom of a hot, steaming bowl of hydrochloric acid :-D 10 out of 10 for style, though... and bonus points for, "I hope you're not too dependent on stored procedures. That will learn you to tightly couple your data and your business logic, fucker." :-D - Karim

That is some geeky coolness hidden in the code of Digg. - Robert Scoble

That's some pretty leet geeking right there. - Will Higgins™

I just hope 1TB Seagate drives drop below $100. Those drives are the best and with a great warranty. - Tony Kanzia

Imagine ... a couple of years ... no moving parts - Charlie Anzman

"At Maker Faire earlier this year, Robert Bruce Thompson gave a talk (video unfortunately truncated at both ends) that highlighted how attitudes towards chemistry have changed since he was a kid, starting with a tour of the powerful chemistry sets available in 1964 (courtesy of the Sears Catalog), and tracing the dumbing down and rising fear of liability that doomed them, until, as Kevin Kelly noted in a recent review of Robert's book, we reached "the so-called chemistry sets today which boldly (and insanely) advertise they contain 'No Chemicals!'" Why are we failing at math and science? Because it isn't fun any more. When you put safety on the highest altar, what do you give up? When fear of lawsuits -- not to mention fear of technology -- drives product design, marketing, and public policy, you eliminate science at its roots, in the natural experimentation of kids who want to know how the world works." - Paul Buchheit from Bookmarklet

Well, here in the USSR (when it still was) things were pretty restricted, but the 'Young chemist' set still contained everything from hydrochloric acid to kalium permanganate to Prussian blue and more exotic (nowdays) substances a kid with an itch could use to blast or poison if not half a block than at least the neighbor's apartment. There weren't any accidents widely reported :) - Frère Noël

I need to figure out how to back up my Linux essentials (Fedora9) with AWS. Suggestions for apps are welcome. - Tamar Weinberg

I'll have to give JungleDisk a real try. Hopefully I'll get it up and running before my move on 9/2 (and before the possibility of data loss increases! Should I trust the movers with my Linux server, or should I move it on my own?) - Tamar Weinberg

So sad to read. Pandora is an awesome service, and a great part of internet radio. Independent net radio is still going strong and always will. This..just makes you sad. - Candace

awesome thanks dave! - Marco(aureliusmaximus)

1. Force of habit. 2. Not wanting tweets to get mixed up with Friendfeed shares so that our subscribers can choose to hide those. - Morton Fox

This thread has got my brain into 2nd gear. That and the joe. :-) - Mathew A. Koeneker

doubtful - Jason Carreira

For those of you mentioning Elgg, you may enjoy this older post where RWW interviewed the Elgg founders: http://www.readwriteweb.com/archive... - Sarah Perez

what is the secret to getting it dialed? i've always been just so-so about Pandora - Christian Anderson

it's a matter of spending time yaying or naying songs, then adding more bands - David Binkowski

maybey they violated the TOC which are pretty tight for apple distribution. go read 'em. There are some areas that the app might have easily crossed. ;) - Rodney Rumford

Where are the rules? Can you see them without signing up? - Matthew Reed

Re: "I'd love to be able to access my Kindle content from a laptop or Tablet PC while traveling." I'd add my iPhone too. I think we're reaching the point where focused devices like the Kindle make a lot of sense, however, I don't want the content locked down to them. I want to be able to pick an appropriate device for the time. - Loren Heiny
