Don't direct messages deserve to be one person only? - Aron Michalski
Email is kinda like the canvas. Its lets people and companies build on top on it. like google does with its spam filters, or labels or just about whatever you can imagine. no one company owns the protocols and they are widely adopted. As you can see with Twitter, as soon as they feel threatened they reduce the ability to share. email is just a protocol. - Michael Roberts

HBO GO now has AirPlay - Jerry Schuman
Jerry do you have the link? - Michael Roberts
I can find the link. - Jerry Schuman
I think it's more than just about gaming but the battle for our TV's. Gaming is just one aspect. I bought an Ouya and I wrote about the Android angle on this phenomenon http://krynsky.com/android... In MG's post he also poses that Android / Ouya may be a contender - Mark Krynsky
It's not as good as the BBC show it's ripped from - Frank Paynter
Why are you so excited about the hbo go airplay? - Ludwig Ederle
Microsoft better wise up. The Xbox Kinnect is their hottest brand and if they don't up their game, Apple will shoot'em up - Moe Glitz from iPhone

+1 Frank, prefer it as well. - Aron Michalski
It takes a BIG Netflix to make a House of Cards. Definitely not a startup product. - Kurtiss Hare
Tablets will drive the TV as a second display. Games will use the TV for the major display and the tablet/phone as the processor / controller. - Murray Macdonald
Android (through Google TV) already has exposed the Google app marketplace to STB's on our TV's. It's beyond me why Apple hasn't done the same. They're giving Google way too much time to perfect and gain usage there. - Mark Krynsky
book>bbc>stalled cruise ship w/sewage>usa - mal

Apple is looking at Google as if it was a monkey that could never put together the gun, and all of a sudden Google is shooting with it... - Ludwig Ederle

I think second screen device is in the GoogleTV roadmap (meaning in the Android roadmap) - clive boulton
I added a Raspberry Pi to my TV... $35 - Murray Macdonald
Or even an HBO (much less likely). I don't know if they can singlehandledly change the game they're in as content creators. - Evan Prodromou
Netflix appears to be doubling down on original content after HoC, for what that's worth. - Kurtiss Hare
Will Netflix release DVDs? That's an interesting (new) media lockin. - Kurtiss Hare
Raspberri Pi is nice hardware Murray but not as functional for a TV to have an Android OS device and the Google Play app store at your fingertips. - Mark Krynsky
Geddy, Yammer's node goodness still on git [Microsoft pls don't mess up] http://geddyjs.org/ - clive boulton
It is based on a British series, right? - christina sponselli

Here's what my brother-in-law says about our tv watching today http://www.guardian.co.uk/comment... - Tina Chase Gillmor
is house of cards in iTunes? - Ludwig Ederle
I kind of agree w/Robert. Youtube has that UGC, viral niche thing - Laura Norvig
Silicon Valley is the most incestuous inbreeding industry around. And after they have sex with each other they eat the weak. - Jerry Schuman
Murray...XBMC and Plex are native apps available for Android too. - Mark Krynsky
Facebook says it was a target of 'sophisticated attack' - Moe Glitz from iPhone
@Ludwig, what is this iTunes to which you refer? - Frank Paynter
Interesting that no-one is picking up Steve's theme about the themes of the show reflecting in the tech industry. - Hilary Talbot
@Jerry, Why do I get invited to all the wrong parties? - Kurtiss Hare
P2P. Web Sockets change all that.... - Murray Macdonald
Hopefully not literally disrupting the events. - Evan Prodromou
Niantic Labs is Google's foray into entertainment. Just wait - Jerry Schuman
Everybody has a job to keep... - Aron Michalski
why do they leave out the opportunity to sell the show on iTunes= - Ludwig Ederle
@Keith, Why aren't they doing it then? - Kurtiss Hare
-=+? - Ludwig Ederle
The amount of back story about Ingress is impressive. Google can tell a story - Jerry Schuman
Perhaps that's the reason, Aron - Hilary Talbot
Web Sockets will allow people to stream without a middleman. Content sharing is going to explode. - Murray Macdonald
What is Comcast doing? - Kurtiss Hare
MLB has their own branded app for following games, but doesn't include live footage. Instead, it is an animation of the pitches. - christina sponselli
Only in the US... Content licensing is per country. I can't watch the majority of these things in Canada let alone the rest of the world... - Murray Macdonald
our camera is moving around , adjusting itself unnecessarily - Tina Chase Gillmor
Comcast spun off TunerFish and the CEO is ex Silicon Graphics - Jerry Schuman
don't even want to think about all the work arounds to watch this stuff in Europe - Ludwig Ederle
They are securing the rights to 5% of the global market. - Murray Macdonald
Actually John McCrae left Tunerfish recently but Comcast is still very active in new technologies - Jerry Schuman
Netflix *raised* cash to do this. - Kurtiss Hare
Do young people watch HoC? Do kids watch TV? - Murray Macdonald
If video over IP gets that big, we'll find a way. - Evan Prodromou
If there's $$$ involved, people will find a way to fill that gap. - Evan Prodromou
Damn NYPL closes 5pm -- now sitting outside - clive boulton
Kids watch YouTube @Murray - Ludwig Ederle
kids watch tv less but also changing their habits - binge watching - Tina Chase Gillmor
I remember when people said real audio was going to take down the internet, and that video streaming wasn't even possible. HD won't be an issue. - Michael Roberts
The bad news for the producers is, that there are no commercials showing up any more - Ludwig Ederle
Just bought 10 gb switches... Network infrastructure is growing. - Murray Macdonald
Google Hangouts + Hangouts on Air... they only need PRIVATE HOA to take over. - Jerry Schuman
I refuse to hear about GoT - Kurtiss Hare
didn't you talk about that apple thing last week or the week before? - Laura Norvig
Agreed, why no PRIVATE HOA? - clive boulton
do you like the Citizen EcoDrive @Robert? - Frank Paynter
At least Scoble is evolving with the market. Apple is asleep at the switch. Their next product is a phablet? Big deal. - Murray Macdonald
I'm an Apple fanboy but I'm impressed with the Nexus 4, its interface and magnetic charger which just arrived. I have not even installed a SIM card and cellular service yet! - Alex de Soto
buh-bye Apple... hello Samsung - Frank Paynter
Apple need to buy some major Smart Web Services - Moe Glitz from iPhone
I'm working on a Private HOA service for enterprise right now. - Jerry Schuman
Good design is not good enough. Good enough is good design. - clive boulton
going over the freaky line... - christina sponselli
Apple haven't even released the API for good speech synthesis on iOS... Android is outclassing them on most sides, BT low energy being one deficiency. - Murray Macdonald
sexy design is still very important - Ludwig Ederle
Hasn't Apple kind of always delivered on the undelivered dream of yesterday? In a way... How long did we have smart phone browsers before we got one that worked? - Kurtiss Hare
My Macbook running cooler in the snow. - clive boulton
there were tablets before, but apple added great design and made a business out of it... - Ludwig Ederle
Back Waters? I don't think Google knows either.. :) http://goo.gl/maps/mYVRt - Kevin Costain
and there were smartphones long before the iphona - Ludwig Ederle
"Tonight on The Californians..." - Aron Michalski
WAZE rocks - Jerry Schuman
I think John said it right before. Its the ebb and flow. Google might be doing well today, tomorrow Apple will come out with something else. - Michael Roberts
Why hasn't apple bought waze? - Murray Macdonald
Google Earth on the Nexus 4 is AMAZING. It's liquid. - Murray Macdonald
why doesn't apple just release os/x to all computers? guess they don't need anymore cash - mal
For navigation I use NAVIGON on iOS. Don't trust the other maps yet. - Alex de Soto
How many sucks was that? - Aron Michalski
I'm plenty dense, thank you - Tina Chase Gillmor
Isn't the question of density also just a question of money? - Kurtiss Hare
that density will need to be filtered - Jerome Hughes
Apple needs to buy Waze and Tagwhat for their Maps - Moe Glitz from iPhone
One point about switching to Android away from iphone. I hear the argument about the investment in apps. If one has an iPad then you don't lose the use of your apps. - Michael Roberts
apple's secret agenda is to take you where you *should* go, not where you *want* to go? - Laura Norvig
They're not innovating... They're the new HP. - Murray Macdonald
Apple has 130 billion cash right now - Jerry Schuman
@Laura :) - Ludwig Ederle
The good half or the bad half - Moe Glitz from iPhone
is Kevin still there? - Ludwig Ederle
They have a great brainwashed user base. - Murray Macdonald
Integration is part of design in the industrial sense. Right Robert. - Alex de Soto
He's gonna implode... - Aron Michalski
he's gonna blow! - Tina Chase Gillmor
@Jerry, that's treasury cash, actual asset, as opposed to market cap? - Frank Paynter
the Experience is designed - Kurtiss Hare

Let's not forget their technology advances... Apple has led the way on almost everything - Jerry Schuman
And who designed Robert? - Alex de Soto
They have? Like what? - Murray Macdonald
AppleTalk, FireWire, NuBus, and on and on and on.. - Jerry Schuman
CRUNCH CRUNCH CRUNCH - Evan Prodromou
Apple has one of the largest IP portfolios on the planet - Jerry Schuman
so do you have to be both hardware and software moving forward? - Tina Chase Gillmor
not necessarily, no - Kevin Marks
the age of context will be delayed for years by governments due to privacy concerns, so what the heck? - Ludwig Ederle
Wait until Apple can access your vitals with the iWatch. - Alex de Soto
Apple's cloud services suck - Kevin Costain
That's not true... New Androids have GPUs. Everyone does things in hardware. They abandon their old devices, like PowerPC, and iPhone3, etc... The 3GS will get dropped soon. - Murray Macdonald
Androids do have GPUs, but Apple's AV chain is good work - Kevin Marks
Specialized chip. - Kurtiss Hare
so that's apple's strength - Ludwig Ederle
Jankie - clive boulton
Video Compression is done via GPU. - Murray Macdonald
i want hugh macleod's font in google fonts - mal
Apple also has momentum. Steve is right about services and Keith. As well I think Apple will innovate more on software in the coming months. Its just people have come to expect incredible hardware innovation from Apple, but I agree Apple will optimize more on its software working with its hardware, and sometimes that isn't immediately visible to everyone the way a new hardware product like the iphone might be. - Michael Roberts
It's the fragmentation of Android hardware. They have various GPUs in different devices. You have to write to the various GPUs. - Murray Macdonald
Apple has one, Android hundreds, "choice" or "fragmentation" - Ludwig Ederle
Kara Swisher - negotiating in public? http://www.reuters.com/article... - Keith Teare
RenderScript on Android devices harnesses and standardizes Android GPU. The problem is the low end Android phones without a GPU - Murray Macdonald
Does that mean that 'open' ultimately wins? - Michael Roberts
I did some video stuff on android a couple fo years ago and it was very variable - Kevin Marks
time to learn CUDA... - clive boulton
apple will eventually find a Jobs 2.0 - mal
Michael I think open will be market share and innovation leader. - Robert Scoble
Glad Steve didn't let it go :) - Hilary Talbot
CUDA isn't going to fly on mobile. Apple will go closed/proprietary and android is committed to RenderScript. - Murray Macdonald
Suspense! - Kurtiss Hare
Tim Cook? - Alex de Soto
Hilary :-) - Tina Chase Gillmor
Peter Thiel - Kevin Marks
My guess is that the inherent way that Apple controls OS (and perhaps direct sensors) access may limit it to compete with the features other mobile devices will be able to utilize for Robert's "contextual" or quantified self and digital health features that will be coming. - Mark Krynsky
Peter Thiel = Steve 2.0? - Ludwig Ederle
I've been reading the Game of Thrones sequel books so I can spoil that too - Kevin Marks
They both are holding us by the pubes until push notifications are open. - Murray Macdonald
i have to drop in 5 mins - Keith Teare
microsoft is on the cusp of the toilet - studentforce
OK Keith... I let Steve Know - Tina Chase Gillmor

Open software with a few closed critical services... Like push notifications. - Murray Macdonald
That is true! - Robert Scoble
Posterous announces their demise. - Jerry Schuman
i don't think Microsoft is that bad, just need a new leadership team - clive boulton
The Verge is stating that Google plain to open their own Retail Stores later this year. WTF - Moe Glitz from iPhone
A little tussle between non-literal and literal understandings going on - Hilary Talbot
Especially new CEO - clive boulton
Think from a 4 or 5 guys perspective. - Aron Michalski
its john taschek !! - studentforce
The polis - Kurtiss Hare
Maybe it's Kevin Spacey. Maybe he's that good! - Evan Prodromou
Our contextual data will be lifted from it's current owners by various data mining technologies. It's hard to prove how I know what I know about you. - Murray Macdonald
IIRC in the original HoC it is a machiovellian character, rather than situation of both parties being in together, although element of that too. - Hilary Talbot
How does he feel about supporting Romney? - Murray Macdonald
My left hand warmed by my macbook battery, my right hand freezing - clive boulton
Google to open stores? http://9to5google.com/2013... - Kevin Marks
In the Bronx, anything to get a good internet connection to watch the GG live - clive boulton
If there is anyone else, Apple could probably buy them. - Michael Roberts
Michael: well, did Apple buy Waze to fix its maps? No. Hmmm. - Robert Scoble
I think it's Hixie - Kevin Marks
Thanks everyone. - Murray Macdonald
Drinks all around, put them on Roberts tab - Jerry Schuman
Good show. Peace. - Kurtiss Hare
Thanks for joining us! - Robert Scoble
Jerry: at the Ritz tonight where the sunset is gonna rock! - Robert Scoble
And thanks to Tina...goodbye all. Have a great weekend. - Mark Krynsky
Have a great weekend, people of the internet - Ludwig Ederle
Robert: Good point. Apple is a smart company however. I don't expect them to go into a innovation drought for long, but yes, they have a poor record on social IMHO and they should be get aggressive on contextual now. Waze would have been a good move for them I agree. - Michael Roberts
Great show Steve, Tina, and the Gillmor Gang. I'm impressed this show continues to retain its quality of discussion and guests. - Michael Roberts
Apple vs. Google::Shiites vs. Sunis - Tom Guarriello
