@rogersdc / Chris, Google Reader is obviously been trying to become more social, but I'd really like to see FF come out with a bookmarklet that makes sub'ing RSS feeds to FF easier/faster.

MF/Kol = I live in Kingston on Thames. It's OK apart from the traffic (continually gridlocked) and the shops (girls just lurve them). Handy for getting into London both airports and out to the Thames Valley for work type things. Richmond Park and the river in walking distance is great too. - Andy C

@Kol many years ago, we made the mistake of asking an estate agent in Surbiton whether it was any cheaper than Kingston. She replied 'No - of course not. We are on the fast line to Waterloo' and looked at us as if we were dog excrement. - Andy C

I've checked rental prices in the area several times over the last 2 years and Teddington is definitely cheaper. I'm not buying, no way I can afford that. ;-) All a pip-dream anyway, need a steady job and I've not had that for a while. :-( - Kol Tregaskes

After most have put their placemarks on, don't let anyone edit it because there's always someone out there waiting to fuck shit up. - Andrew Trinh

This guide may help http://local.google.com/support... - Mark Krynsky

@Andrew...good point. I just changed it from public to unlisted which only makes the map available to those with the URL. - Mark Krynsky

Even so, last time we had the Confessions account details on FF it was tinkered with. - Andrew Trinh

I added mine, but in the process of learning I think I nudged the Sydney, Australia points off a little. Sorry. - Rob Haas

Ok, think I did it! - Bec Rowe @d0tski

Robert bought me a new house in the northern suburbs. - Andrew Trinh

@Bec...nice. You are the first brave female on here. - Mark Krynsky

I've read the instruction and still don't see the button thing to add myself. I'm feeling pretty stupid right now. -

@Jill, make sure you are logged into your Google account and then click on the edit button above the list of names already on the map. You will then see the pushpin in the upper left hand side of the map. - Mark Krynsky

Thanks Mark! I see it all now. -

Great idea! - Alan Le

Added. Seems like there are a lot of us in the Bay Area...we must do a get together at some point. - Neal Jansons

@Neal yea, we really need a FriendFeed meetup. I might be up there for Web 2.0 in March...or we can have one at SXSW if a large number of us are going. Let's plan and get the Upcoming page going. - Mark Krynsky

Am I the only FriendFeeder in VA? - Aram Zucker-Scharff

@Mark Not gonna make SXSW, but am definitely down for working on an FF get together. March is long enough away to make sure plenty of people have time to plan ahead. I added you on Upcoming so we can start coordinating it. Anyone else interested/want to help set this up? - Neal Jansons

Maybe we can talk Paul & Bret into letting us invade the FF offices for a meetup in conjunction with Web 2.0? That would be sooooo cool! - Mark Krynsky

Oooh, now that's a really great idea. - Neal Jansons

"It's been two years since Peter Berg confirmed he was attached to direct the third adaptation of Frank Herbert's seminal science fiction novel Dune. Of course, the first adaptation was auteur David Lynch's avant-garde, torpid 1984 film, the second being Sci Fi Channel'sminiseries in 2000. But little has been said about this third attempt to corral the story of Paul Atreides and his family amidst a futuristic feudal interstellar empire as they take control of the lone source of spice melange, the most valuable resource in the universe. It's no wonder Dune has proved a worthy foe when condensed into film form." - Derrick from Bookmarklet

Sure, the Dune universe is a rich, expansive environment, but what makes Dune, Dune is the interplay of the socio-economic, political struggles effecting the characters and the familial, localized emotional struggle of the main characters. Distilling the story into a base action/adventure story? It won't be a Dune that the purists will flock to, but it may, in reality, make a lot better... more... - Derrick

I've never seen Dune in any form, nor read the books. *ducks* - Derrick

It might be heresy, but I wouldn't read past the second book (but I read them as a child, so that may not be fair) - RAPatton from iPhone

Derrick, Fatboy Slim's track "Weapon of Choice" is about Dune --> "if walk without rhythm, you won't attract the worm" - RAPatton from iPhone

I'll see it whether I'm apt to hate it or not. It's Dune, I can't help it. - joey

The forth book is tough but the last two are really great ! - Olivier Castets

The headline made me go "hmm... possibilities..." the reading of the article left me with "you're doing it wrong." - Michael W. May

I've read the series in English and German. I am a dork. - Katy S

I'm not much of a sci-fi fan to sit and read it, but if I was to watch it, should I start with the Lynch one? Or the mini-series? Robert, will that make sense to me after I watch the movie(s)? - Derrick

At first glance the guy in front seemed like Will Ferrell :o Anyway, I'm willing to give this movie a chance :) - Jemm from fftogo

The David Lynch movie is definitely worth seeing. I haven't seen the miniseries. - Jason Wehmhoener

Derrick, the Lynch version is much better (imo) in terms of a film, but the miniseries is much more faithful to the story. So it really depends. My advice would be to read the book (really, it's that good. It transcends genre) and then watch them both. - joey

Yes, Derrick, the song will make sense after the movie/book - RAPatton from iPhone

But are they on Blu-ray? #hdsnob - Derrick

I recommend everyone to read the first book. It's not that heavy on sci-fi and it tells a very elaborated, compelling and rich story. I saw the movie and the mini-series beforehand and both pale in comparison to the greatness of the novel. I can tell you to skip reading LOTR and watch the movies if you don't have time because both offer compelling experiences but in Dune's case the screen versions are bad enough that I thought Dune sucked until I read the book. Now it's one of my favorite books of ever. - David Rodriguez

Dune is about empire, expansionism, marketplace monopoly, religion, duty and honour vs what is right and wrong, and revolution. The power struggles those entail. It happens to take place in a sci-fi-ish setting. - Michael W. May

This was an editorial review from Amazon: "Dune is to science fiction what The Lord of the Rings is to fantasy. Though fans believed they had bid a sad farewell to the sand planet of Arrakis upon Herbert's death in 1986, his son Brian has assumed writing the Nebula and Hugo award-winning series with the help of Kevin J. Anderson. But the original is always the most popular, and Ace here... more... - Derrick

Derrick - I have a Dune remake you might be interested in ;) - Sparky

A Dune remake, or a giant worm, Sparky? - Derrick

Yes. - Sparky

I lub you, Sparky. :) - Derrick

I've seen the movie, the two miniseries in italian and english and I've read all the books of Dune :) I love the world of Paul Muad'dib - Ale♫nastrorosa

It was fine, but it wasn't Frank Herbert's Dune, it was David Lynch's Dune. - Michael W. May

The Lynch movie has Sting!!! - Katy S

Alejandro Jodorowsky was going to make a version too, starring Salvador Dali who wanted $100,000 an hour! His version would of had music by Pink Floyd and art design by Giger and Moebius. Now THAT would have been interesting. - Toby Graham

Let me know what you all think... - Justin Korn

The one on the left is amazing, true colors ? - Olivier Castets

Oliver, the original is here: http://friendfeed.com/justink... - Justin Korn

Very nice. - Tyson Key

I like the one on the right: the bridge is too muddy for my taste in the one on the left. - FFing Enigma (aka Tina)

Really nice! Kudos! - directeur

I agree with Tina. The bridge almost seems like its in the way of the colors on the right and too muddy to want my attention. However the b&w on the left is just striking dramatic and I love looking at it. - Rachel Lea Fox

Nice! I agree... prefer the 2nd - Herb Hernandez

Superb both but I like the color version better... - Håkan Dahlström

I like the B/W version better. It looks cleaner with more contrast. - John (a.k.a. dendroica)

Thanks for the input all. Personally, I like both for different reasons. I intentionally made the color one "muddy" and dark, but I wonder if it would be a stronger/better image a little lighter and cleaner? - Justin Korn

Justin, I personally think that it would. But the important thing is that in the end you are happy with it. - Rachel Lea Fox

Guess I'll have to play with it again over the weekend :) - Justin Korn

This is hard, really hard. I think if I had to choose it would be the colour version. The B&W needs more contrast for me, more bounce but the colour is perhaps just a tad too dark. Both are better than the original which was is very dull. - Kol Tregaskes

I prefer the colour version. - Tyson Key

B&W, all the way, even if the color was less "muddy" - Taylor Davidson

I like the red glow (sunset?) near the clouds in the background, for what it's worth... - Tyson Key

I vote B & W. Striking. - Brent - Loving Life

I can't believe this was done with the iPhone. I like the color one personally, but they're both fantastic! - Michael Fidler

Kevin - nope, from the first generation 3G. I added noise reduction in LightRoom and believe I ran NoiseNinja on it as well to reduce the noise a little more. - Justin Korn from IM

I like the B&W best, but then I have a very similar shot of the Bay Bridge that I did in B&W too: http://www.flickr.com/photos... - John

I like the black and white photo much more. The color photo looks to flat and boring. - Mathew™ one of a kind
