Let me know when you want to race, I'm ready. Finally ranked up to #1 last week after leaving this game on the shelf for a long time. - Richard Lawler

RJ: the quickest way to play me in any 360 game is to say you *suck* at it, not that you just ranked up to #1. Tell you what: you drive the Mini Cooper in every race and I'm in. :) - Kevin C. Tofel

Lindsey, it actually does make noise, but not the typical engine sound. More like a golf cart on steroids. - Kevin C. Tofel

any free solution? - foxmachia {山石}

And it also works on windows machine.. at least something useful for my old win box :-) - Alessandro Galetto from twhirl

I use teleport http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn... thats free, there are more, but the name escapes me of the other one im thinking of at the moment. Can use win and mac machines together. - Simon Wicks

Synergy does the same thing for free - David McDonald

Thats the one i couldnt remember the name of David :) - Simon Wicks

I think you guys are completely missing the point. This isn't the same as Synergy or Teleport unless they've both baked in this feature and I didn't know about it. This will allow you to use a second computer as a second monitor for the host machine so that you essentially end up with a dual monitor setup. You're not just throwing a input data from one machine to the other over the network. If you go to the Screen Recycler web site they have a video demonstrating the process off getting this running. - John Reynolds

They even take a Quicktime Movie as it's playing and throw it to the other computers screen. The playing and rendering of the movie is still technically being done by the host computer, it's just outputting it to it's "dummy" secondary display witch is just being viewed on the slave computer via VNC. The magic is all happening behind the scenes over Ethernet. I wouldn't want to try this over WiFi, it would NOT be pretty! - John Reynolds

Nice to see some planning to make electric a real possibility. - Scott of Two Countries

Yeah, I think electric is winning the battle for next-generation passenger car transport. Toyota is still doggedly refusing to move beyond hybrids, and GM's Volt platform is a transitional drivetrain. Watch Nissan and Mitsubishi: they're *really* serious about all-electric drive. - Chris Baskind from IM

this was talked about back in the 90s for the GM EV1. never happened. maybe this time will be diff. too bad US auto industry will not be in teh lead on this (again). - MikeAmundsen

GM is in the best position to compete. By the Volt powertrain is a compromise. Nissan wants to completely electrify its passenger line. Pretty radical. - Chris Baskind from IM

I thought GMs hydrogen car should have been be relatively easy to convert to electric. It was pretty cool. - Todd Hoff

Honda actually has a limited number of hydrogen fuel cell cars on the road in California test markets (it's the FCX Insight). But a hydrogen infrastructure is even more daunting than an electric one. We all have charging stations already: our driveways. - Chris Baskind from IM

California: May the rest of world follows you - imran

It'll be interesting to see how they fund it?! - Charlie Anzman

Memory, is the main thing for me. Then CS4! - orionstarr

orionstarr - http://www.crucial.com for memory, i got 4GB for my Macbook for the price of about a gig on Apple.com - Simon Wicks

@simon, I just bought a new logitech mouse... my mighty mouse wasn't so mighty. - Joshua Schnell

@joshua yeah, i got min when they were first released, the 'nipple' started causing me problems after about a month, even after cleaning it loads it still never really got back to how it should be. So dont think i'd get another one. - Simon Wicks

probably Final Cut Pro and all the lessons that go with that. - Randy Ksar from twhirl

I just got a new 320GB, 7200RPM hard drive and an extra GB of memory for my MacBookPro. At OWC (http://www.macsales.com) of course. - Carlos Granier-Phelps

A new MacBook Pro :P - Glenn Batuyong

@glenn I'll take a new macbook pro. I think i'm gonna go added it to my list - Joshua Schnell

I've got a MacBook Pro on the way, but I'd quite like a Griffin AirCurve http://www.griffintechnology.com/product... - Timothy Griffin

A MiniDisplayPort to VGA cable...for my new 13" MB - Stephen Pierzchala

I'm with Stephen. I want to get a MDP-VGA cable as well as a DVI-capable KVM to switch between my Vista workstation and the MacBook Pro I bought a week ago. - Akiva Moskovitz

I-Phone!! Yes It's official I'm the last one here to own one... - orionstarr

iPod Touch! - ursi

orionstarr, you are not alone... im a BB user for so long... - AJ Batac

I don't have an iphone, but i use a BB (work-issued) - imabonehead

The more teething one is the mighty mouse. Faced with the same problem as some of you guys. Scrolling works sometimes but not as often after 3 months down the road. - Jonathan Kong

A NORMAL wireless mouse. I'm sick of this bar of soap of a mouse and this tiny trackball - €€€€€€€€

maybe you know this, but flipping the MM over, and rolling the scrollball -hard- against a surface--way harder than you'd think OK--will break up the crap and dirt that screws these up. We've prolonged the life of many of these since they were introduced. We hate them, tho, for the most part. Scroll ball too small, mouse itself is cramping over time, etc. - abacab

I'm hoping for some scotch tape - Glen Campbell, B.A.

abacab I did that trick loads when I was using it, but it got to the point I was having to try it every hour or so as it wasn't responding. No I didn't just have real dirty hands either :) gave up and I use a small laptop mouse now but want something more hand friendly. - Simon Wicks

Yeah, but you did too. Wait. Shoot. I just did again. Sigh. - Ken Sheppardson

Not only that, but I just made it echo out over Identi.ca, Twitter, bounce around on bridges... Aaaahhh.... - Ken Sheppardson

Maybe this is why censors in China and Iran don't block FriendFeed. They are too bored. :-) - Robert Scoble

Or they figure there's little enough real signal it's not worth it. ;-) - Ken Sheppardson

No, I didn't mean that... I see the signal. Just frustrated by tools. - Ken Sheppardson

I just had to stop the "replication" pieces of FriendFeed. Much better tools are out there for this feature. - manielse (Mark Nielsen)

Yeah, I've got to turn that off. I just saw @karoli respond to me in three different places because I was sending stuff to Twitter. Everywhere except as a comment here, that is :-) - Ken Sheppardson

Lists work to keep noise down to a dull roar. Track would work better. but you knew I'd say that. ;-) - Karoli

Karoli: Yeah, I did. ;-) Didn't mean to start the 1,423rd conversation about filter v. track v. lists or following ideas v. following people or Twitter v. FriendFeed or VHS v. Beta. It was just more of a guttural "ugh". Y'ever go behind the desk and unplug everything then try to plug it in neatly again? Time for me to do what with my microcontent stuff. - Ken Sheppardson

You find new signals by sifting through the noise. Traditional signal/noise is really just a reinforced echo chamber IMO. - AJ Kohn

I just consider stuff I care about signal, stuff I don't care about is noise. A fundamental problem is that's changing constantly, even with respect to people I might have on various lists or terms I might track and/or use to filter. e.g. I'd like to turn off all fire, Obama YouTube, and prop 8 stuff right now, but be able to turn it on after Miss St v. Alabama. - Ken Sheppardson

@Ken: Absolutely. I get that. For me, I hide a bunch of stuff and then sometimes I find something I wouldn't have otherwise. Recently, I hid a whole bunch of pubcon inanity (which is more in line with my business) but was interested in Scoble and others' views on China - something I wouldn't have normally been seeking. - AJ Kohn

:O Wow - Kristian Salonen

Here you go: http://bit.ly/1628nB - Andy Roth

Andy, that was not nice! - Robert Scoble

Congratulations. :) - Mona Nomura

Sorry Robert. Couldn't resist. It's 5:00 on Friday and I was feeling giddy. - Andy Roth

Andy: that was well played, I'm just jealous! :-) - Robert Scoble

@ricksanchezcnn is really understanding how to use social media now. It has changed his program a lot! - Francine Hardaway

I was gonna hit liked it till i got rick rolled. as far as an A lister being featured. conrats and it is about time - John D. Lemke from twhirl

Oh come on, Robert! You are bigger than CNN...at least when it comes to integrity. Theirs is divided, not multiplied, as shown by certain compromises which may alas be unavoidable. Perhaps it is they who should be saying, "Hey look!" If not now, surely one day. Peace. - david beckwith

Oh yeah? Well my blog was mentioned on... I got nothing. - Rishabh Mishra (p248)

WOW, that's GREAT!!! Congrats Robert!!! Andy - hahaha I went for it!! doh! - Susan Beebe

Congrats. Re: China, you seem to be telling it like it is, and hopefully that get's competitive juices again flowing. - JimmyJet

Rock on Robert! Well-earned. - Hutch Carpenter

Andy I knew what it was and I still went for it - how bad is that? - Jesse Stay

apparently my iPod doesn't support rickrolls. What gives? - Daniel J. Pritchett from fftogo

Heheheh : ) Is this a Louis revenge of Robert? :D yESS - Erhan Erdogan

@scobleizer Where is the video? - Alex Sauceda

Wouldn't mind seeing the 'rerun' myself. Kudos Robert. Sanchez did open a HUGE door. Difficult to say what will be next. - Charlie Anzman

awesome. - Thomas Hawk

I'm only not jealous because he quoted my tweets. twice. and read my blog post telling him how to do it better. months ago. ;) yep, (gotta take what I can get...) - Karoli

ah crap-- I got rickroll'd too :( - john conroy

Yep. Have to for work. - FFing Enigma (aka Tina)

We have clients whose backends are only viewable in IE5. Makes me sick, I tell ya. - Anika

Yes...but I also use Google Chrome & Firefox..but IE comes in the last place in order of usage. - Ahmed

Only use it for MediaSource since it won't run on any other browser - Steven Melfi

Oh and every hotel I've stayed at except for one in SF, has required the use of IE to access wifi. - Anika

Only when checking "MS Updates." - MVB (Curmudgeon of FF)

Thru Maxthon. - Vinay | विनय

70% of Internet users, apparently. - John Craft

I have to use it at the school comp lab and if I use Blackboard for some reason it won't behave correctly in FF. I'm not sure if it's just some addon I have that is throwing a monkey wrench in the mix or what. So I have the IE tab addon and use that at home for Blackboard. - Mattie Kenny

I only use IE to test the Web sites I maintain to see what I have to fix to work in IE. (sigh). I'm the volunteer Webmaster for the Spaulding Wooden Boat Center in Sausalito. www.spauldingcenter.org - Rod Bauer from twhirl

Not at all! Seriously sucks! - Keshav Khera

@Mattie Kenny: my school also uses blackboard, but I can use 95% of it in firefox and chrome. I utterly hate using IE. - Royce Mathew from twhirl

Yes, some companies websites our business works with *only* work in IE - TDavid

Only at work. :( - Steven Perez

Only for Windows Update (if I got to the actual site), for our Enterprise software product (what can you do?), or if it's embedded in an app I'm using. - xero

These days, never. - Victor Ganata

Yes. Needed for Web Design :( - AJ Batac

I use it on sites that demand it - such as my bank *shakes head* - alphaxion

Yes ,when using freegate, last version is really strong product i use firefox too - Arash

No. And my server is configured - if the entrance through IE - auto jump to the page - "The site does not support this browser. Please install FireFox. - Классик

I'm forced to at work; part of the job. Otherwise, no. However, I try to keep tabs on their developments. - Arlan Koizumi

Yes, for work and because a bunch of my University's web services only work on IE. - Aram Zucker-Scharff

I love Firefox 3, Internet Explorer is SO 1999. - J. D. Ebberly

I intensely dislike IE (compared to Firefox), and cringe whenever I occasionally have to use it. - Sean McBride

I just use it to test sites we develop in the company. - Leandro Ardissone ⍨

IE users tend to not hang around sites like this one. - Vincent van Wylick

Hahaha...yes...at work - Anthony Farrior

Hehe, yes of course! I know lots of people who use IE and not FF or Opera at least. (don't mention Chrome :P). - Apostolos Papadopoulos

*only* for QA checking my project code - Susan Beebe

no! - TheHenry

On my work laptop, but I don't have a choice. Also a home for the odd page that doesn't work in Firefox but I tend to go to Chrome nowadays. I do save some web pages to Web Archive format and IE is the only browser I know that does this (or at least does it well). - Kol Tregaskes

many banks in Europe require IE for online banking and don't support FF. Typically its only the authentication parts where physical one time pad calculators are used. I am using Chrome for everything but..... - SnakeDoc

I tend to use Flock and sleipneir over IE anyday however having IE on is rather useful - Ian Cleasby from twhirl

Only for the few remaining sites that require it. - Justin Rains

Hey, get on it, Kevin. No more slacking. People are worried about this. We must win the war on interstellar terrorism. - Josh Bancroft

You're right Josh... my bad. Tell ya what: I'll push this up the list with a tickler to remind me in just a million years. Deal? ;) - Kevin C. Tofel

Indeed especially when the whole goal of the machine is merely access the internet - Justin Yost

I am a total non-l33t n00b when it comes to Linux. I have an Eee PC just to mess around with, and, after bricking it a few times, I must say for a device for basics like email and music, it works great. With 'cloud-ware,' such as Google Docs or similar, this may be the way to go. - MVB (Curmudgeon of FF)

Sounds very interesting... - Rahsheen ™, Coach of FF

about to pick one up for my daughter. She needs to make straight A's during a 9 week period, and she almost did last time. She's unaware of the rule that she has to maintain that to keep the notebook. /evildadlaugh - Mattb4rd

Lol Matt :) - Zee.

I converted my Toshiba with XP on it to a Red Hat Enterprise server :) amazing....thinking of making it my iTunes and Skype VoIP server :) - Susan Beebe

Darn kids with their Gooey! I remember having to hunt for distro's (usually in Linux books) and installing from command line! Bah! Now you gots yer Ubuntu! :P Linux is good stuff, though. But for chronic-upgraders, can be a little hassle. I could never re-compile a kernel without breaking something. :( - Arlan Koizumi

finally set up my home server with Ubuntu 8.10 and it's awesome! - Anthony Farrior

even my children (3 and 7 years old) use Linux, watching videos, playing games and so on.. the box is an old Toshiba AMD K6-2 with 96Mb RAM. Yeah, since 1995 all my computers are Linux PC. My next computer 'll be a Linux PC. Sure! ;-) - Thierry R. Andriamirado

I have an old P4 driven laptop with only 384KB Ram. It struggles with XP, but Linux runs fine. - Ian May

Linux is perfect for netbooks and second machines. If you're not using proprietary software, Linux is better then Windows hands down. Faster, more customizable, easier to upgrade, free. http://distrowatch.com/ pick your flavor! - Will Higgins™

Netbooks are almost useless for me. If you need a good solid Linux Distro and you're new to the Linux community, I recommend Ubuntu 8.10. - bzoomer16

I spotted a Tesla in the wild the other day on the 280 just south of Palo Alto. Photo evidence: http://bit.ly/3jxig2 - Ryan Kuder

According to Valleywag (I know, I know) they don't even have the cash to refund deposits for the cars they aren't going to deliver. http://valleywag.com/5071621... - MVB (Curmudgeon of FF)

I passed by the Tesla dealership yesterday and there were at least five sitting in the windows there. - Robert Scoble

most people don't CARE that there are newer tools than office 2003 - mjc

It's not that they don't care.. It's that they don't have the TIME to care. Any business owner worth a damn is going to focus on the things that create cash flow in order to keep the business alive. If they are given a tool to help them manage the digital age the divide will become smaller. - Kyle Lacy

...that's because they are too busy doing the job and they don't time to look around. Their managers like to keep them so busy they never get a chance to educate themselves which suits the managers just fine - no-one to rock the boat with that pesky 'change' thing..../rant - WorldofHiglet

Took them 10 years just to get the public to come to terms with working on a computer every day. The general public doesn't like change unless someone is holding their hand through it and showing them why it's better. And +1 for @Kyle Lacy / @WorldofHiglet comment - xero

It is huge if you are in health care, a low tech business, at the point of care level we see with our physicians. - Barbara Duck from twhirl

Last week I gave a talk at a Microsoft Senior Users group on how to use vista voice recognition, and they did better than a lot of the doctors I call on. The seniors chose the topic of speech recogntion too as that is what they wanted to learn. - Barbara Duck from twhirl

wow robert thanks for sharing this!! you rock =) - Adam Singer

I notice you didn't mention NPR/PBS. Is that the model to follow? Independent government-funded corporation with additional public funding? - Steve Lowe

Sorry about missing NPR/PBS. The challenge is the depth of the pieces without gov't ties or public funding. - LPH™ and his dog P™

I'd write it from a global perspective, more like the economist vibe, more emphasis on straight news reporting, less sensationalism and bank on the part of the population that i believe would be responsive to it. i'd map things by topic on one page, aggregated, so people who focus on causes or social change would have an area where they can track news. i'd allow commenting and focus on... more... - Patricia

Guess I've said this before .... Reuters is one of the best models out there http://www.reuters.com - Charlie Anzman

http://www.mcclatchydc.com/# does some of the best reporting in the business, too. - Steve Lowe

How does any of that "ensure objectivity"? - Glen Campbell, B.A.

Same here. I stopped blogging since May. What about writing an AI app to automatically blog for you? :P - imabonehead

I like the model of start-ups that the way to get them to be popular is just to stick with them. (Maybe I got this formulation from Paul Graham.) I'm not sure that's meaningful, but at least it's prescriptive. - j1m

Thanks for any and all shares, Bret. Love to see. I really hope at some point the team feels comfortable to talk nuts and bolts architecture, so we can learn and provide great products like you do. I think you could do the equivalent good of a Jesse James Garrett, talking even in the abstract about what a modern architecture means. - Christopher Galtenberg

congratulations on all the value creation. nice hockey stick on growth. you've got a unique view of socialweb services, including when adoption gets traction. would love to look at analytics from your data exhaust, if you're not comfortable showing direct numbers. - mark silva

Now, have I _ever_ really mocked your blog for a lack of posts? I don't remember that. But retroactively, maybe I should have. :-) - Louis Gray

no way! - Susan Beebe

Why do I continue to eat these things. - Matt Hilton

tried this with friendfeeders earlier - majority of them basically said..."give me both" http://friendfeed.com/e... - Zee.

say it isn't so... i stopped eating those things, but still.. eek - Jasmin Smith

I just threw up a little bit. - dario

:-o - Robert DeBord

can i get a halflife figure on that burger? - Allen Stern

I must show this to my students tomorrow. - LPH™ and his dog P™

Who in their right mind would keep something like that hanging around for 12 years anyway?! - ::Kristen::

Yeah, but how does it taste? - Jordan Hofker

I agree with the majority of the comments on the article. Shows *nothing* about nutritional content. Just that without moisture, a burger doesn't deteriorate. Or am I missing something? - Matt Harwood

There is a video somewhere. I guy left one in his coat pocket. Took it out years later. Same situation. - Rahsheen ™, Coach of FF

Did he eat it? I'm curious to see if they taste the same after all that time. (Fresh bun is allowed if desired) - Jordan Hofker
