An excellent summary of the current and future DSLR / Video capable cameras, plus a comments about the new micro 4/3's standard. - Jeff P. Henderson via Bookmarklet

If micro 4/3s ever hit the market, and if I can eke as much quality out of them as I can squeeze out of my D300, that'll be a game changer for me. - Cecily Walker

Thanks Jeff! - Raoul Pop

I think the D90 is just a tiny step in what we'll see in the future. There's no AF (for video), you can only record up to 5 minutes, etc... It's all just the beginning. Wondering if Nikon timed that release to be just a day after the 50D, which for me currently is more of a 40D MkII... But I'll wait for the images (especially at high ISO) until I judge it :) - Holger Eilhard

Holger, I wonder about the 5 minute limit. Was that set because CF cards can't sustain a video write-rate for a long period of time (given the varying speeds of CF cards), and Nikon has to buffer the video while writing it to the card? Perhaps there's a reason for the limit. And it's quite probable that Nikon and Canon are playing games with the timing of the press releases. Major competitors usually do that. - Raoul Pop

@Raoul, you're welcome! - Jeff P. Henderson

If I had to guess, the 5 minute limit probably has something to do with heat and power consumption. - Jeff P. Henderson

@Jeff Exactly what I'd say... - Holger Eilhard

“Demo really messed up by keeping the same dates. If I were Demo I would have moved to a week earlier than TechCrunch 50.”

Didn't DEMO adjust their dates to match the TechCrunch50? - darnell

Darnell: I might be wrong, but DEMO was set to run first. Then TC50 picked the same dates. If I were running DEMO I would have done anything to have different dates than TC50. The head-to-head competition isn't going to turn out well for them. - Robert Scoble

Show 32 more comments

that doesn't make much sense to me - DEMO is supposed to move its dates because TC50 couldn't find another time to run its conference? DEMO announced its dates long before TC. I think TC should have switched to a different date once they noticed this, but instead, everybody is stuck in Kindergarten and in the end the companies suffer because nobody can cover that many start-ups in that little time. I don't care about the conferences, but making the companies suffer because of this is stupid. - Frederic

Frederic: TC50 picked the same dates to attack DEMO. They are taking DEMO's best companies away from it because of this strategic decision to go head-to-head. If I were running DEMO I would have fought back and picked dates a week earlier. That would really have messed with TC50. TechCrunch is forcing entrepreneurs to pick and is winning based on the strength of its blog. It's not kindergarten. This is a direct attack on DEMO and TC50 is winning in the marketplace big time based on my conversations. - Robert Scoble

I dunno...sounds like Kindergarten to me as well. - Andru Edwards

Andru: I don't remember millions of dollars of business as well as control of the high tech PR industry happening in Kindergarten, but you might have attended a bit more high-level school than I did. ;-) - Robert Scoble

I just mean the whole, oh they picked these dates, so we should pick the same dates to attack them, that will get us some PR! And we can make the companies choose! I mean seriously, why try to tear each other down instead of build each other up? That's what I'm all about at least. ;) - Andru Edwards

BTW - Im sure both events will be fantastic. I just mean the behind-the-scenes garbage. - Andru Edwards

Dru: Aren't you at Gnomedex? - Mona N.

but TC seems to want dominance, and building up the competition doesn't provide that. it's not *nice*, certainly, but (correct me if i'm wrong, because i really don't know much about these things) i don't think business is a *nice* sport. - idnan

Andru: it's easy. By making companies choose you position yourself. TC50 is going to be the winner at this game. Idnan is right. Business is akin to war and you've gotta think like that or be squished. Anyone remember Bill Gates? Mona: I'll be at Gnomedex tomorrow evening. - Robert Scoble

Yeah, I'm at Gnomedex, Mona ;) Anyway, I get what you are saying Robert, but it seems so...so Valleywaggish. Business doesn't always have to be war. Like I said, you can tear each other down, or you can build each other up. There can be winners in both business models. Want an example of a businessman who I dont think tears others down? Look up a dude named Robert Scoble. - Andru Edwards

Andru: being nice has gotten me a long ways in life, but then I don't have the world's tech PR firms wrapped around my finger at the moment like Arrington does. He didn't get that by being nice. - Robert Scoble

Robert: do you think that a week would have made a difference? Startups would still have had to choose. I think that TC is doing a good job creating a startup-friendly environment (good coaching, no fee for the startups and inviting a lot of VCs). DEMO needs to do more than changing the date, they need to re-invent themselves. - Edwin Khodabakchian

Edwin: a week would have made a HUGE difference, yes. First of all, the press and VCs wouldn't have had to choose. Which would have made the entrepreneur's choices much more even. Second of all it would have doubled the PR available. Right now, how many companies are really going to get any oxygen on that week? I'd guess five. From both conferences. If they were a week apart that would have been double. - Robert Scoble

Robert: good points. you are right. It would have not solved all the demo problems but it would have gotten them a huge boost on the VC and PR side. Question: if you were DEMO, what else would you have done to get a couple of the better start-ups? - Edwin Khodabakchian

Edwin: had a bigger prize. Had a guarantee of funding, or a guarantee of PR (like Walt Mossberg saying he'll write a column about the winner). But DEMO messed up by not understanding the growing power of blogs and social media earlier. They should have gotten on that much earlier and joined in the conversation. Even now I don't see anyone from Demo really making a presence here or on Twitter or on Facebook. - Robert Scoble

That lack of visibility is why I go with TC50. Since my future is in this community I'm far more likely to support the one with the majority of visibility here. - Robert Scoble

TC50 seems to be a better event overall. It has the backing of better sponsors and the backing of the best startup blog there is. For these reason I don't think there is anything Demo can do to combat this affront by TC50 - Andrew Fielding

Makes sense. Hopefully someone at DEMO or someone who cares about DEMO is looking at the situation in a more nimble way (or they will when TechCrunch wins that first head to head). - Edwin Khodabakchian

Robert: you made a good point on situation and DEMO should've listen to you. If this conversation made available in your blog and also covered by tech media, you help TC by reducing the negative opinion echos of TC as Tyrant. :-) - Pico Seno

As I said, I don´t care which conference reigns supreme in the end - but for the sake of the companies presenting at these events, I think TC should just have picked a date a week or two later (or earlier) - at least most of us bloggers would have had a chance to somewhat keep up with all the new stuff. But why blame DEMO? It was TC that moved in on their date. - Frederic

I'm surprised at how many people commenting don't get that a) TC50 chose the date as a direct challenge, which they are winning, in order to achieve dominance in that arena, b) Robert is merely suggesting that DEMO could've foiled that easily by moving their dates but instead are losing b/c they took a 'we don't have to move we were scheduled first' attitude, c) this is business, not socialistic benevolence - TC didn't get where they are by being the guys who made everyone else feel okay about themselves... - Lucretia Pruitt

Look - you *can* get ahead by being nice. Scoble has a definite conflict of interests here in his commentary (as do I, and it'll reflect in my next sentence)... you know who else got ahead by being nice and not going to war with everyone? Pete Cashmore. We're not number one in everything, but I know a lot of folks in our business that might switch places with us if they had the chance. - Mark "Rizzn" Hopkins

I thought Cashmore just went to parties? - Leather Donut

Competition makes everybody stronger...but it reminds me of high school, when the insecure people would attack other people so they would feel better about themselves...not too be touchy feely, but wouldn't TC have done better for everybody by just being themselves and giving Demo the space to be successful...it is strangely insulting and short term. It should be about creating an environment by which the industry (whatever that is) grows together. - Jamie Ginsberg

Mark Hopkins: generally i think Pete is a super-nice guy too, and i have other friends who blog at Mashable... HOWever, there are several bloggers out there (not just Arrington) who think Mashable re-hashes other posts w/o linking or attribution... some might call that war. your take? - dave mcclure

I take it then, from this little tidbit thatn the Seagate logo on Scobleizer will soon be changed to a TechCrunch one? Let's all be honest here... the majority of the companies that come out of any launch even (yes, even DEMO) will have about the same effect as launching the Titanic. Only because TC scheduled on top of DEMO, all the companies will get even less attention. The dumbest thing any start-up can do is launch in this mess this fall. - Cyndy

Cyndy: it might be dumb to me and you but several really great new companies are coming out at TC50 and several pretty good new companies are coming out at Demo that I've seen. Agree with you, though, if your goals are PR it's going to be hard to break through at either of these shows. - Robert Scoble

And I'm not paid by TC50 nor do I have any financial consideration for talking about them or being on their panel. Seagate sponsors me and I appreciate that very much because it lets me do a range of things outside of Silicon Valley (we're heading to Seattle tonight and Berlin tomorrow). - Robert Scoble

@dave: my 'take' is we always attribute. it's our editorial policy (and I should know, as an editor). any time we don't link or attribute to another blog means we received the tip or story from our editorial inbox. that's been the policy since long before I came on board. some may disagree with the methods we used in the past on *how* we attribute, and that method was updated many months ago (we ridded ourselves of the [via] link in favor of in-line linking). - Mark "Rizzn" Hopkins

Cyndy: I think that's well off. There's so many investors and influential individuals at these events that getting a few of them on board or interested is worth their time. A few will get the PR boost too, but that's not always the goal...This week isn't a mess. Hell, the competition is going to shine a bigger spotlight on both conferences, especially TC50, since it will win. - Ben Parr

@leather: before pete was a rock-star, he was a blogger. :-) - Mark "Rizzn" Hopkins

@robert: I understand you're not paid by TC, but you're on the judging panel, chosen by Mike, presumably. That doesn't make you particularly impartial in the TC50 v Demo debate. - Mark "Rizzn" Hopkins

scoble - not sure how you can declare TC the winner when neither conference has announced companies yet, much less occurred.. Seems to me the best way to pick a "winner" is to wait for the conferences to actually take place. Attendees and press at both events can make their own determinations - Carla Thompson via fftogo

Robert your reasoning makes my head hurt. TC50 picked the same dates "to attack DEMO," so DEMO should have changed their dates? If DEMO had moved their dates up to avoid a conflict, isn't TC50's next logical move to change their dates again to force a conflict? I understand it's business, but there *is* a difference between a fair fight and attempted murder, between healthy competition and global thermonuclear war, between being tough and being a complete asshole. If TC50 is as wonderful as you say it is, surely a few days difference doesn't determine whether it lives or dies. - Karim

How can you expect someone with a limited intellect like Scoble to put together a rational argument? - Leather Donut

" to not forget why you started blogging in the first place" Excellent advice. It is easy to forget this at times. Thanks Louis. - Michael Pardee

very well said Louis - if you have nothing to write about because you didn't have a great idea or because nothing interesting happened, then just don't write. The hardest thing about being a paid blogger is having to come up with interesting things to write about every day (but my threshold for amusement is pretty low, so that typically isn't a problem :) - Frederic

@Justin, one part of relaxing is knowing you don't have to write about every meme either. I was going to let this one go, but decided to pile on this evening. - Louis Gray

Good advice Louis. It triggered a rarelengthy comment from me that can't be handled here on FriendFeed. Hope it helps others http://www.louisgray.com/live/... - Mark Krynsky

blogging is like golf - its a challenge and reward for the individual. you don't play or write to keep up or pass others, it really is a very personal experience. trying to do it as a competition is the best way to lose your way, lose your passion, lose your audience... - Morgan

I have kept a schedule (not on purpose) for the most part, but haven't posted in a while. I was starting to get that anxious feeling, like when I miss a workout. I realize that I don't expect something new every day from my favorite blogs. I like the quality, not the quantity. This is just what I needed to see today, Louis. Thanks. :) - Rahsheen(isSoAwesome)

Somehow this feeling to meet the quota is a built-in feature of blogs. Think of the calendar that highlights and links the days where you have posted an entry, think of the reverse chronological order of blogs - if you're pausing, the topmost content will start to age -, think of all those measurement systems that we use. All those things make it hard to persuade oneself that nobody's keeping score. - Benedikt Koehler

From what I can see inside every blogger is a gamer yearning to be free. And everybody keeps score :D - Earl E Morningwood

They need to get smarter first. MindMeister gets close with the nodes you can click on to search for pages related to the node.

Mindmapping is a useful construct. We used it with the major scenarios of our last software release and -- with MMPro and a TFS Plugin -- exported them directly into Microsoft Team System. Cool. - Robert W. Anderson via twhirl

Any good web-based Mind Mapping solutions? Ultimately I'd like an Evernote for Mind Mapping which would run everywhere. - Al Degutis via twhirl
