No, he'd be a geek in the making if he did the dance when you started installing Windows 7 ;-)

My 2.5 year old helped me today with Windows 7 too! HA! So easy, a toddler can do it. :)
- Brendan Cosgrove
That's cute. I think Windows 7 has convinced me to buy a new PC for the first time in 5 years.
- Michael Yurechko
I wish I could install Windows 7, but the install fails. Look at me, 12 years older than your son and I can't even do it! Makes me want to rethink my priorities.

Easy enough a caveman could do it. Been very pleased with Windows 7 so far today. Haven't had a single crash. Just had to install some 3rd party drivers over the default ones. That and Chrome didn't work well, but no big deal.
- Dean Clark
Simple enough - 25 min install + 15 more for MS Office. Faster, and smoother than Vista. Big step forward for MS.

Why are you exposing him to Windows? So many studies have shown that happy computers make happy kids and happy computers need Mac!
- Louis Gray
Do not listen to Louis. *Hissss* The Steve-Side has pulled him in. LOL Just teasing Louis. :)
- Robert Miller
What's great is that Windows 7 runs on older PCs too, and quite well. You don't need loads of disk or memory for it to run.
- Paul Shadwell
Louis: Milan will be brought up as an OS agnostic, just like his older brother Patrick. When he's old enough he will decide which one is better. Patrick is the world's #1 Apple fan because he was exposed to both. :-)
- Robert Scoble
My 30 month old son says "Apple" whenever he wants to play on a computer, regardless of the OS. I think the big Apple logo is something he now associates with the computer (along with Youtube 'Fire Truck House' videos. "Fire Truck-Doors Open" is his new favorite saying)
- Andrew Leyden
Robert: Ask Patrick to give us his opinion on 7 then, please?
- Roberto Bonini
Patrick is very solidly in Apple's camp. He's a little religious about his OS choice at the moment so getting him to see any value in something Microsoft does is going to be very difficult.
- Robert Scoble
Patrick should be using GNU/Linux. When you're young is when ideals like freedom should rule. Robert, you need to sit him down and have him watch 5 hours of Stallman videos until he screams "proprietary is evil".
- Gregg H.
Greggish: sorry, Patrick is one of those "Steve Jobs is king" types. Not much I can do about it. I just hope it passes soon.
- Robert Scoble
My son is asking another entrepreneur about his business. Makes me proud. Is asking same questions I would be asking: why would I use your service? What makes it special. Entrepreneur answers back "you sound just like your dad." heh.
mini-scobleizer.com (not a real site) :) I saw Loic interview Daniel...Loic said something like it felt too limited, somebody else tried the same thing. He suggested that Daniel do something like organize teen communities for seesmic and he'd be first customer...
- Pokai
Your son should have an account in friendfeed

Daniel is inspiring - he's living the life I wish I could have at that age. The next Ben Casnocha...

Yuvi: my son is into WoW, not blogging or FriendFeed.

Can I send him after Commissioner Tate? She's obsessed with "protecting children"
- Andrew Feinberg
Andrew: Patrick hates people who try to censor what he sees. But you can't change the minds of people who see the world like that.
- Robert Scoble
*sigh* so, so true...her fact checking is awful though...I've nailed her several times and she runs away from me in heels now. Protection != control.
- Andrew Feinberg
+1 for iPhone version....whyTF isn't it out already? Look at Hahlo...amazing, but limited due to Twitter API.....do it now!

I normally have a iPod Touch or computer with me when I want to check FF, but sometimes FFTOGO will work, I just don't like the whole remote key thing.
- Aaron Myers
fftogo is nice, but not enough, it's not compatible with enough phones, hoping FF is going to provide it's own mobile
- Majento
Blackberries! Including the smaller screen of the Pearl.
- David Silvernail
yes, i have a samsung instinct and ff on there won't even keep my login info w/o shutting off the web browser.
- Admiral Anika
I hate the remote key on fftogo,why we can't log on with our own password for Christ's sake
- Steve Chou
well, no one would be allowed to eat their own food, because it's "friend feed" you have to get your friends to ladle all the cake into your mouth!

@possible I think it was like duck duck goose ?! Nooo it isnt : ) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki... But duck duck goose a good idea for twitter team. they have lots of time for this : ))
- Erhan Erdoğan
Hmm, "duck duck goose" gives me an idea. How about "Friend Friend Block" ?
- Rishabh Mishra (p248)
This is freaking awesome. Great way to bookmark things, collaboate on them, get them onto Twitter and, soon, FriendFeed. http://www.diigo.com
- Robert Scoble
I moved from diijgo back to delicious because delicious was supported by FF and diigo was not. What is the number one reason why diigo is better than delicious?
- Thomas Hawk
You can get them onto Friendfeed now - they just added the feature a few days ago.
- David Worrell
I've been using Diigo for months now. I don't use all the features, but I still think it's much better than delicious or magnolia, & I've been trying to convert all my friends...rather unsuccessfully :(
- Jennifer Van Grove
from twhirl
I tried Diigo. And I was impressed, but their Firefox extension isn't as good the Del.icio.us add-on. And that matters. A lot.
- mrshl
I am skeptical that most of the commenters here probably work for diigo. I already use evernote.com and I love it, so why would I switch? http://www.evernote.com What do you think of that Mr. Scoble?
- the constant skeptic
@Thomas, get the best of both worlds and set up auto-post to Del.icio.us from Diigo. That's what I do since a lot of services don't use my diigo stream but will use del.icio.us. My favorite feature of Diigo is the annotation stuff (highlighting stuff on the page and making notes). And the FireFox sidebar is quite nice and handy. Surprised Diigo is new to you, Robert!
- Lindsay is in 20-ten
I use diigo to keep bookmarks both on ma.gnolia and del.icio.us, I like both services for different reasons, I hate double let alone triple posting but that have suited me pretty well so far
- Dobromir Hadzhiev
I downloaded the toolbar and it promptly crashed FF3 4 times I had to disable it :(
- Sally Church
It's cute - but I am not goign to trust them with that much info. delicious has my bookmarks but the important annotations and clippings live in OneNote, on my own drive, backed up alone with my other data. Why build all that knwoledge into a website app I may or may not be able to ever extract it from?
- Soulhuntre
from twhirl
but someone answer this one question. What is one significant reason why diigo is better than delicious.
- Thomas Hawk
@Thomas it's not directly better, but ma.gnolia is better than del.icio.us(microformats, community, design) del.icio.us is an old giant whitch has all of us locked because of it's popularity, haven't seen one new thing from them lately
- Dobromir Hadzhiev
I used to use Magnolia but then the "bookmark this" marklet thingy stopped working and when I contacted them they blamed my browser (Firefox) there was no easy fix so I switched back to delicious. I'm all for new technology, but it has to be be better than the current iteration. So why again is diigo better than delicious? I need more than just it's the newest thing.
- Thomas Hawk
yes the main reason I stayed with del.icio.us beside the exposure was the extension, but other than that ma.gnolia doesn't have issues and is pretty nice place to hang out, can disagre that the thank you mail is a neat feature. After all if you're happy with a service living in the past, fine I say thank God flickr isn't following the same path
- Dobromir Hadzhiev
Thomas et al: the coolest part of this I've found is the annotation feature. It's like Word/Acrobat annotations where you can add sticky notes and highlights and such directly to pages you bookmark. I'm not too familiar with delicious (I use magnolia myself), and I'm not really into social bookmarking, so I can't really explain too much on that end.
- Mark Trapp
Mento supports FriendFeed as well. (and Twitter, delicious, magnolia, Tumblr) And it supports custom screenshots with every bookmark (even works with Skitch) What makes Diigo better than Mento? (http://mento.info)
- Bwana ☠
Bwana, so far, it's like Ma.gnolia with the ability to annotate a page on the page itself. It's a neat trick.
- Mark Trapp
Ah I see, but will people have the patience to do this correctly? I could see some use in it
- Bwana ☠
I work with clients who swear by similar features in Office and Acrobat. I could use this, especially since I can share my annotations with friends. Plus, it seems to have feature parity with Magnolia only zippier. I'm switching for the time being.
- Mark Trapp
This is very cool for collaboration (as probably noted already by Robert). Question though, do you have to sign up for Diigo in order to view the annotations?
- Bwana ☠
Playing with the "Diigoet " (essentially a toolbar) in Safari, and it looks like as long as you have that (or a Diigo toolbar), you can see all public annotations on a page. Interesting.
- Mark Trapp
so then the only reason to use diigo over delicious is so that you can view annotations? I'm not sure this is a compelling enough reason to switch.
- Thomas Hawk
Find the ability to annotate and highlight useful. For me, it's worth switching.
- Tom Landini
And while most of my tags are still one word, I do occasionally find the ability to use multi-word tags useful. Diigo lets me do that.
- David Worrell

Between Scoble and Gray, I now say 'morning' to my wife and spend the rest of the day playing with new (free) toys. Is something wrong with this picture?

@Charlie: I don't know. sounds pretty good to me. What do you do at the end of the day?
- edythe
@Charlie, why waste your morning like that?
- Louis Gray
In college, I had a friend who had a PC laptop and had to use one of these (probably around 3 years ago now). I used to snicker that his computer was so poorly designed that he needed an external cooling system. Now Macs need them? Ugh.

Targus. Chillmat. Two fans. No cord storage. Small enough that it fits in my laptop bag. Got one for my dad for Father's Day I love it so much.

Dude, how did you score Spore? I work for Xbox and can't seem to get a copy. No more favors for EA!

Odd that its not breaking on TV. Lots of coverage of Tim Russerts passing at the moment. Fox News had a two second blurb about the earthquake. Thats where I first heard it.
- Greg
from twhirl
The Epicenter was in Iwate-Ken. 6 on the ground there which is strong. Felt quite strongly here in Yokosuka, south of Tokyo but nothing too out of the ordinary. The TV stations have, as usual, broken regular coverage to give updates about perceived magnitude in the surrounding areas and pictures from cameras around the area. No damage or injuries are reported yet.
- Stuart Woodward
2 minutes after you posted "seeing a ton of Tweets about earthquake in Japan", Twitter died!
- Brian Henderson
Brian: ahh, that explains why fewer messages are coming through IM right now. It still seems somewhat up.
- Robert Scoble
Japanese TV is talking to people at the local government office near the epicenter and there are no reports of any injuries though a water pipe has broken.. several aftershocks have been felt. TV is showing live pictures from a helicopter and it is a very rural area, no signs of damage at all.
- Stuart Woodward
There more earthquakes in Japan than days of a week. Unless it is big like Kobe, do not report it.
- Igor The Troll יִצְחָק
The TV coverage is now showing a few rural roads blocked by landslides. A few Isolated injuries are reported, traffic accidents, broken legs due to falls, people cut by glass. etc.
- Stuart Woodward
It is fascinating to see the internet micro-blogger at work. Faster than a speeding bulletin.

TWiT Live didn't do so well. It crashed at 6250 viewers and it's still down. Wonder if Leo will be staying with Stickam or if he will switch to Ustream.
- Mike Doeff
Friendfeed is missing photos though. GIz is doing an awesome job with photos.
- Steve Rubel
Why do I say that the World Wide Talk Show is on FriendFeed? Now you know.
- Robert Scoble
The app coverage is taking way tooooooo long :(
- DC Crowley
mike, ustream can't handle 6250 viewers either... it can barely handle 250 when Calacanis orders his army to come watch him order lunch.
- Matt Shaulis
ustream been fine for me since the start, but I think Mac just had a dig at MS
- Rif Kiamil
Mac now is hosted a push service via them selfs.. aka AOL v Apple.com => PUSH TO your iPHONE.. via wi-fi and cell network

now has parental controls, your mum can take u off youtube
