Opened a separate window for FriendFeed. Did not see it on building43 either. - Alex de Soto

Google hangout:) - clive boulton

Friendfeed may be all we have today: pathos - Francine Hardaway

Francine, I was just typing that! They work pretty good. - Laura Norvig

I was thinking about a Hangout on Air too. - Robert Scoble

hangout won't allow for Tina's contributions - Jerome Hughes

Tina can go on the show - Francine Hardaway

Nice - thanks, Robert - Sounds like the 2nd half scoring reflects the 1st half playing - John Taschek

ok Im finally in here. Geez - Tina Chase Gillmor

A British Company called Binz Intelligent Eyeware, is also developing a type of Google Glass - Moe Glitz from iPhone

Hey Tina. I am still in London - Francine Hardaway

Love London. have a blast Francine. How's the baby? - Tina Chase Gillmor

metro only - Jerome Hughes

We need to see it in action, plus what's the battery like? - Moe Glitz from iPhone

Re: spotify/pandora/entitlement to free music ... http://thetrichordist.wordpress.com/2012... - Laura Norvig

a buddy has a playbook - Jerome Hughes

I thought that MS was releasing two products?? Microsoft Surface = ARM + Metro only // Microsoft Surface Pro = Intel + Metro + Legacy apps - Ankush Narula

Microsoft should build magnetic keyboard covers for the iPad. ;) - Alex de Soto

I also heard the price was set at $599 and it was wifi only - Francine Hardaway

The Shared Core sounds interesting - Moe Glitz from iPhone

see Danny's posts on Metro etc. - Jerome Hughes

dont think that's a fact yet Francine - Tina Chase Gillmor

Baby is 3 1/2 Tina and flys kites in the park. He's a British kid who also speaks French. He must think I am odd - Francine Hardaway

http://news.cnet.com/8301-33... <- Danny - Jerome Hughes

http://www.brainyquote.com/quotes... - Ankush Narula

how fabulous Francine. Can't believe he's 3.5. - Tina Chase Gillmor

Microsoft appears to be subsidizing everything they're releasing - Francine Hardaway

Msft folks feel Xbox360 was first successful end-to-end hardware - clive boulton

seems credible? - Jerome Hughes

cliveb: and Xbox cost Microsoft many billions before it started working as a business. How serious is Steve Ballmer about this? The price will tell us all. - Robert Scoble

The problem is that Microsoft lacks the courage and conviction to abandon Windows altogether - Metro should have been a completely separate platform from Windows. Windows should have become relegated to it's own legacy path. Hence, instead of releasing a single device "Microsoft Surface for Windows RT" ($599), we also get "Microsoft Surface for Windows 8 Pro" ($999). - Ankush Narula

I thought Tablets were Post PC. But not in the eyes of Microsoft - Moe Glitz from iPhone

How are consumers going to understand this? - Ankush Narula

Windows 8, Windows 8 Pro, Windows RT, Windows Phone 8 - talk about beating a brand to death - Ankush Narula

quietly Microsoft appears to be retooling around open source interop - clive boulton

have talked with old IT guys (read checkwriters) who find it inspired and compelling, though they're really only looking at concept, not execution - Jerome Hughes

Isn't it too late? Even folks who use Windows for desktop and laptop have already bought an iPad if they wanted a cool tablet. - Laura Norvig

Windows RT compatability - http://www.theinquirer.net/inquire... - Keith Teare

I think it may be the last chance Office has! - Alex de Soto

Redmond product teams have gained program managers tasked with open source interop - clive boulton

What's a "disc"? - Ankush Narula

plenty of those same old IT guys have been flipping to iPad - Jerome Hughes

and that's what keeps many from moving to Mac, they feel tied to their software investments on Windows - Jerome Hughes

is Office actually actively dyeing? - Tina Chase Gillmor

that's why it's gutsy, though it's an announce that didn't deliver enough of the story - Jerome Hughes

Windows Metro 8 RT - Ankush Narula

or is it Windows 8 RT Metro - Ankush Narula

the laptop you can't use on your lap - Jerome Hughes

MSFT is all in on the new canonical client / server: JavaScript / Nodejs - App / Internet - clive boulton

the accumulated insight on this show always amazes me. - Tina Chase Gillmor

clive - msft embracing node.js = cautious skepticism - Ankush Narula

They just brought Yammer - Moe Glitz from iPhone

If MSFT had included some Kinect-like input magic with Surface, that would have been something! - Alex de Soto

it's a big boat to turn - Jerome Hughes

I think Microsoft's core DNA mutated from engineering/people to up-selling and licensing long ago - Ankush Narula

M$ gets their groove on? - Jerome Hughes

By displaying the Surface as a smart mobile book, they seem to be aiming towards the business crowd - Moe Glitz from iPhone

Ankush Narula - the horses mouth https://github.com/windows... and http://twtpoll.com/1h5q1h - clive boulton

clive - that's very cool - but having been burned by the embrace and extend and lock-in of MSFT past - they have much trust to earn back - Ankush Narula

@verge: Google rumored to be launching business-focused cloud computing service at I / O http://t.co/SHavwQME - Moe Glitz from iPhone

and how can they squeal about being copied? - Jerome Hughes

sorry Robert. missed that - Tina Chase Gillmor

Keith: App Store approval process will quickly dampen that notion - Ankush Narula

Pottermore (uses Nodejs on Azure) Harry Potter site built on Windows Azure platform http://www.ditii.com/2012... - clive boulton

wondered when buddy would come up (and wasn't thinking about it when posted about my friend's playbook) - Jerome Hughes

So is iCloud: http://venturebeat.com/2011... - Ankush Narula

losing sooner better? disrupting yourselves now so others can't later? - Jerome Hughes

Windows = Microsoft Office - Laura Norvig

For most young people, Microsoft means Xbox and Kinnect - Moe Glitz from iPhone

Steve agreeing with Scoble wholeheartedly. hmm - Tina Chase Gillmor

list over tiles - Jerome Hughes

Metro *IS* stateful push notification (watch the Windows Phone 8 presentation) - Ankush Narula

how well have colored folders supplanted manila? - Jerome Hughes

I find I dont want to be AT my desktop - Tina Chase Gillmor

Im getting increasingly frustrated with non-full ipad apps that dont do everything - Tina Chase Gillmor

butter smooth scrolling vs flipping… reminds of iTunes album cover screen saver… look over here, now, and now over here - Jerome Hughes

i want my ipad to be my everything - Tina Chase Gillmor

Jerome... did you get the button finally? - Tina Chase Gillmor

yes, thanks! & believe that's what MS was after with the IT types, making them believe their whole world could be this Intel Surface - Jerome Hughes

Metro lets you pin Person tiles to the start screen - then you can see notifications for people you care about. In theory, you could pin an @mention filter on the Metro start screen. And you could probably pin all kinds of custom tiles (think notification filters). - Ankush Narula

Moe - yes, microsoft is meaningless to young people as far as the computer world - Tina Chase Gillmor

Tina - the holy grail is App collections (Cloud glues together - Client does not) - clive boulton

as Steve strokes his beard - Tina Chase Gillmor

reality is for people who can't handle drugs - Laura Norvig

oops, did I say that out loud? - Laura Norvig

robert, have you ever considered a rearview mirror? - Jerome Hughes

Xbox is pretty popular with the young set - Da from Android

Laura lol - Tina Chase Gillmor

I'd prefer the Push Notifications list in iOS to be subject/object-centric rather than app-centric - Ankush Narula

filter, filter and customize - Tina Chase Gillmor

I guess the new version of that is, "reality is for people who can't handle the virtual world." - Laura Norvig

Tie that frick up Windows - Da from Android

fine-tune push - Tina Chase Gillmor

lo tech predecessor to gGlasses… http://ow.ly/bLQ1M - Jerome Hughes

A whole lot of young folks do their facebooking on a Windows machine - Da from Android

hangout may not have handled that very well… bless you - Jerome Hughes

didn't mean to catch Steve's sneeze... sorry about that folks - Tina Chase Gillmor

Ankush Narula - subject/object-centric push, exactly how to combine streams on the client side (independent of apps) - clive boulton

a new world where my photos belong to Facebook? No thanks. - Laura Norvig

Laura: absolutely. My photos are better on Facebook because of the social connections and sharing features. All other systems suck in comparison. - Robert Scoble

and real capabilities vs. hand waving - Jerome Hughes

my daughter loves instagram - Tina Chase Gillmor

compared to what will happen otherwise - Jerome Hughes

But just for fun Google+ has my photos too. - Robert Scoble

So does TUmblr. - Robert Scoble

I never an built an app for Windows Phone, because M$ never gave me a Phone. - clive boulton

So does Apple. - Robert Scoble

So does Yahoo. - Robert Scoble

@cliveb: if Microsoft Surface was $100 it would be nearly free. - Robert Scoble

$99 - Jerome Hughes

I can do $100 - clive boulton

but it's rumored at $599, which is more like MS (plus free stickers and bloatware) - Jerome Hughes

much stuff can be done on mobile web these days. Apps got gunk that goes with them that slows down the phone - Da

or hecka drains battery - Da

when it crashed - Jerome Hughes

Google gave me a phone, chromebook, tablet. M$ gave me Windows (bootcamp installed. I never use nowadays) - clive boulton
