No, I don't hate Macs. I own a few and love them just fine (along with machines of many other flavors). It's just a funny picture that's not an entirely uncommon sight. - abacab

One of us! One of us! - Louis Gray

Look at all those folks being creative and independent. Sweet. - Ken Sheppardson

@Ken lol - mikepk

Reminds me of a quote. forget the source, and I'm probably butchering it, but something like "Nothing a nonconformists hates more than another nonconformist who fails to share their ideals of nonconformity" - mikepk

I see a HP in there... - Outsanity

Almost looks like Gnomedex except I brought my Dell to that. - Robert Scoble

SCARY - sean percival

Good thing my ThinkPad is black :) - Mirco

I have a skin on my MacBook to avoid that look. :) - Cyndy

Just a few years ago, the color scheme would have been reversed. - Phil Boiarski

Duncan, don't you know? The world revolves around US. (pun intended) :P - Mona Nomura

I keep trying to move out of town, but... - Jim Is Not Smart

Duncan opened a big can of funny today :D - Zee.

LMAO - johnpiercy

Wow. I can't believe they would post something like this. - Paul Buchheit

Yah, I can't believe this would slip by their PR/marketing departments. So resentful and weird. - Bret Taylor

Written like a true has-been. - Dan Hsiao

Came across as bitter and resentful. Kinda like the second most popular girl in college getting turned down for harvard ( Legally Blonde Style). - Roberto Bonini

It's interesting that GMail then pulled the SMS gateway for technical reasons, I'm sure some conspiracy theories will be advanced - Casey Muller

Well, it *is* Halloween afterall. How about some sense of humor, guys? - Lawrence Liu

They seem to focus on features. With most products I want, usability > features. - Amit Patel

Consider: Halloween + Friday + a few drinks = "Oh no they did NOT just announce SMS messaging! We've had that for like a year! I'm totally blogging about this shit. Screw PR." - Andrew Bonventre

Aw, lighten up you guys. I think it's awesome that they're speaking their true feelings without a PR filter. And funny, if a bit sad. Plus, you know, many a famous comic has been no less bitter. - j1m

It's funny, but not in the way they intended :) - Paul Buchheit

I remember a year ago when AOL completely ripped off the Yahoo! frontpage. What hypocrites. - Aaron Krug

♫ Never gonna give you up/ never gonna stop those bills/ never gonna run around with your search logs (ok sometimes) ♪ - Philipp Lenssen

AOL has webmail? - Kevin Fox

Seriously though, check out the comments on that post. I think they'll get the message that their tone didn't quite hit the mark. - Kevin Fox

What a dick move, and from a search partner no less. - Josh Wills

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. That's the only response I can come up with. (said with a big L finger on my forehead) - Trish R

This was the fun application I had in mind. Going to put it on github soon - Benjamin Golub

Hahaha. Nice! - DeWitt Clinton

I wish I were fast enough of a worker to manage these. - mjc

Room: http://friendfeed.com/rooms... - DeWitt Clinton

Sounds like fun. I'm in. - Bret Taylor

Whats the app??? - Roberto Bonini

Not telling until Friday. - DeWitt Clinton

Can you at least give us a clue?? oh and are we language specific here? - Roberto Bonini

Any language, any environment. Could be a web app, could be desktop, could be mobile. Just an excuse to challenge yourself and code and launch. - DeWitt Clinton

Ok. so which clock are we running against? PST, EST, GMT????? - Roberto Bonini

Good question. Maybe something like 9:00 AM PDT on Friday to 9:00 AM PDT on Saturday? - DeWitt Clinton

Yeah, works for me. I'm 8 hours ahead. - Roberto Bonini

Or midnight to midnight? - DeWitt Clinton

Could do that too, just not sure if I have enough coffee to pull it off. - Roberto Bonini

Marijke says 9:00 AM Friday to 9:00 AM PDT Saturday makes more sense. Here's the room again: http://friendfeed.com/rooms... - DeWitt Clinton

Sounds interesting. - Steve Weis

I understand everyone comes up with their own idea to implement? - Philipp Lenssen

Yup. Or people could work together on ideas. I'm writing up some ground rules now in the 24Hours room (http://friendfeed.com/rooms...). - DeWitt Clinton

I'm joining! :) - directeur

This is a FANTASTIC idea!! very inspiring - a "ninja coding-a-thon!!" - Susan Beebe

OK, looks like you go to iGoogle page and enter "javascript:_dlsetp('v2=1')" into the address bar. Thanks to @drewbenn in Twitter for that tip. - Tim Chemacki

THANK YOU. - teh Dork Knight aka Kenny

shame doesn't work for Google Apps users yet. even with the javascript. - Shawn McCollum

It works for GMail & Google Reader gadgets. - Tim Chemacki

I meant the Google Apps for your domain, the urls they use for the frame don't include /a/[domain name] in them. - Shawn McCollum

is there a shortcut to switch btwn canvas and non-canvas view? - Luke Stay from twhirl

It still lacks a lot of features for me. IMHO Feedly (the FireFox extension) does so much more. Within Feedly I can read Digg and FriendFeed comments plus Twitter and Delicious integrated right there. Why wouldn't anyone use this with their Google Reader? - michael sean wright

Feedly is great. Trust me, I know plenty about it. But it's Firefox only. - Louis Gray
