Just a thought: Marketing is part strategy and part tactics. We loose out some time cause we focus too much on the later. Tactics are good but if it complies with the strategy!

Right you are, planning is part of the overall strategy, but planning also encompasses the tactics that will deliver the strategy!

In Dvorak's defense, who really likes the mouse? It's not elegant in any way - just a pointer - it's a kluge between the technology we had in the 80s and the presumably brilliant interfaces of the future.

I realized today that, in general, we benefit from much greater freedoms than our forefathers did 200 years ago. Think about that one, the next time someone says something like "if our founding fathers had felt that should be in the Constitution they would have put it in themselves" in a political argument.

Women can vote. People of all colors, creeds and ethnicities can live and work just about anywhere in this country. People aren't persecuted for their beliefs on a wide scale. Freedom of speech is largely greater than it is today (albeit mainly through better technology, not better government).

We are free to be constantly surveilled, optically and electronically, by our government and corporations, and the data collected used against us without our knowledge. They shoulda thought of that one. We are less free to exercise our right to travel than ever in the past.

Women have greater control over their reproductive systems.

Americans 200 years ago rioted over taxes on tea. Think about that. They were easily pissed off.
- Alex Scrivener
And you are totally wrong, LogEx...because of technology, we are much more free to fly to just about anywhere in the world. You couldn't go very far 200 years ago.
- Alex Scoble
And Americans didn't riot simply because of tea, Alex. That was just the straw that broke the camel's back...plus it didn't help that rum was cheap enough for them to get drunk on it before rioting. :)
- Alex Scoble
But you have to cough up your identity, and sometimes your possessions and papers, in order to try to travel, even within the US. The CBP has asserted that you have no Constituional rights within 100 miles of any border - this includes something like 80% of the US population. See: http://www.aclu.org/privacy... & http://papersplease.org/wp...

And again 200 years ago you would have effectively been traveling to France if you went west of the Mississippi river. :)

The 4th Amendment has been seriously and steadily eroded.
- LogEx
Yeah, you have yet to say a single thing that refutes my main point.
- Alex Scoble
from IM
The Constitution shouldn't be changed lightly, but they couldn't have forseen everything. In many ways, we do have much greater freedoms, but in many other ways, we have less. Some of things they did put in are getting trampled. We live in a much more authoritarian society today than we have over our history.
- LogEx
Many ways we have less? I completely disagree. The difference in the level of the freedoms we've gained collectively, vs those that have been erroded (we haven't lost any) is huge.
- Alex Scoble
from IM
People who are afraid will easily give up their freedom in return for security. In the time of distress, freedoms should be held on even more tightly. People forget that parts of our society have gone thru times when they had no rights.
- Kim Landwehr
I don't personally see the decrease in states rights as an erosion of our personal freedoms, particularly when states have so often gotten the area of personal freedoms wrong.
- Alex Scoble
agree with Alex re states rights
- Chris Rogers
The point of states rights is to allow different states to do different things. If you don't like the laws in New York, move to Virginia. Federal laws cannot be escaped without leaving the country, which is a much higher hurdle.
- Alex Scrivener
But there are minimums that states must meet, which is as it should be. They can't do anything unconstitutional, for example. But allowing variation is wise, as our population is varied, and it provides a manner of competition.
- LogEx
Exactly, the constitution provided limits on the states as well as the Federal government.
- Alex Scrivener
Hell, Alex, we can settle this easily. Let's ask Thomas Hawk how easy it's been photographing the outsides of various office buildings. I'm sure he'll tell you what a picnic that's been. FREEDOM, BEE-YOTCHES.

BTW in Thomas Hawk's case, he has the freedoms...He's just having to fight for his freedoms against overzealous security guards. We should all thank him for sticking up for our rights.

I would be interested on your thoughts about using this as a control device with the rumored Apple tablet. If it runs an iPhone interface, would you be more likely to use this rather than directly on the screen
- Johnny Worthington
Well, that's just one hypothetical wrapped in another. Honestly, if you were to use any mouse with OS X (or the Apple Tablet), this would be the one to use unless you have some preference or need beyond its capabilities. I'm also hoping that the swipes are handled by software and that we'll see further functionality added in the future. I basically want it to do everything the MacBook Pro trackpad can do.

I would pay for Hulu easily on the following 2 conditions: I could watch certain shows the same night they come out (ahem, House, MD) and 2) I could get it on my streaming blu ray player like I do YouTube and Netflix. I hope they have considered these options. (though, I guess between our monthly apple tv bill, the netflix monthly, and hulu, it might be cheaper to get cable. BUt then I'd be forced to watch a bunch of crap tv in the hopes of something good)

Yep. A bunch of others with suspected. I have heard (from a variety of sources, 2 of them who work in health care) that the only strain of flu going around now is H1N1 anyway. All of them are fine now.
- Laura H.
But to have suspected influenza, all you need to have is a fever and a cough and/or sore throat. I'm not sure all those cases are actually influenza, H1N1 or otherwise. The only way to know for sure is to culture it, which almost no one ever does.
- Victor Ganata
I know several - all ok so far
- Chris Rogers
from iPhone
Victor: A snippet from a FB friend's post regarding his family's H1N1 bout: "...and only mild hacking remains of our torturous 30 days of hell." One of the only 2 or 3 times I've ever had a case of influenza resulted in being quite sick for nearly a month. I'm not a big fan of contracting any strain of flu.
- Christopher A Carr
Back in March my toddler (was 18mo at the time) contracted the flu. She had some cold symptoms during the day, nothing unusual for a kid, definitely nothing I thought to take seriously. She went from eh, she's got a cold, to barely breathing in under an hour. The doctor called it acute onset and said it happened mostly to the very old and the very young. I have a new respect for the influenza virus, in any strain.
- Heather Solos
I do, now. My brother's girlfriend has it. Confirmed by lab test this afternoon.
- Rochelle
I, myself, had it...and got over it without meds. (I didnt know i had it until the very end of its course.)
- Marissa
According to a friend of mine in Madison, WI, so many people have it that they aren't testing for it anymore. They just assume that it is h1n1. When she was sick, that's what they told her (and why they didn't test her).
- Katy S
my gastro doc sent me a letter told me to get the shot for both kinds but to avoid the nose spray - I'm on immunesuppresants so...
- WarLord
Now that flu season has started again, it'll be interesting to see what will happen to the population of flu viruses. Will H1N1 continue to dominate? Or will it level off as the other variants begin increasing.
- Victor Ganata
The shot is comprised of inactivated proteins that will allow your immune system to recognize the influenza virus. It can't actually cause the flu, although the body's immune response itself can make some people feel sick. The nasal spray is live attenuated virus, so, yeah, it's not recommended if you're immunosuppressed.
- Victor Ganata
Give me a few days. Since we had a confirmed outbreak of H1N1 here in my town, the local hospital is doing cultures on everyone who comes in with legitimate symptoms. Fortunately the town hasn't gone all panicky-crazy, so there's not been this flood of people who think they're sick. I think people are just being cautiously optimistic and going about their regular lives.
- tinypants - Hagitha of FF
I do.
- Anne Bouey
Currently, 96% of all flu cases that are typed are Type A. 98% of all those type As that are subtyped are H1N1. So basically, 94% of all flu out there right now is H1N1, whether it's tested or not.

For a while I had a "Favorites" folder of feeds I wanted to read in their entirety, but I found it actually worked better to just make finer distinctions on the other categories - hence the different Film folders.

- Jandy, ConcertMaven of FF
Not reading the Huffington Post hasn't been a disadvantage for me, either.
- John (a.k.a. dendroica)
I break up the different subjects I read about into high and low priority groups. If two many new posts pile up in my reader, I'll just mark the entire low priority folder as read. That's a big help if I can't tend the RSS feeds for a day or more.
- John (a.k.a. dendroica)
That's a good idea, John. If I get really behind I just go through by individual feed and quickly eliminate ones that tend to have lower value for me.
- Jandy, ConcertMaven of FF
Jandy: pardon my ignorance, but how do you use google reader to follow up on comments you leave on blogs, etc.?
- T. Brent, technopeasant
Brent, the super-old school way. :) Whenever I comment on a blog, I subscribe to the RSS feed of the post comments, then put it in the "comments" folder on GReader. Blogger usually has the feed link at the bottom of each post; WordPress doesn't necessarily, but the comments feed is always the URL of the post plus "/feed". I do the same thing with Disqus/ID comments. It'll send direct replies to my comments to my email, but I prefer to follow the whole conversation via RSS rather than email.
- Jandy, ConcertMaven of FF
Brilliant. Thank you. :)
- T. Brent, technopeasant
There are probably easier ways to do it. I used co.mments for a while, but I think it shut down. CoComment was supposed to do it as well, but I could never get it to work right. But individual RSS subscriptions always works, even if it's kinda crude.

That's like Sophie's Choice. :( I really like While My Guitar Gently Weeps, but also love Paperback Writer, Blackbird, Yesterday, Eleanor Rigby...too many.

- Faraz Mullick
Just one? You're crazy. I'm partial to the early ones, though - "A Hard Day's Night" maybe. But only maybe.
- Jandy, ConcertMaven of FF
my very first concert was the Beatles at Forest Hills in NY ..............
- VAL D.
I haven't seen one up here that isn't a fave on some level yet. I do second the fact that the early years have a very special place in my heart, Jandy :)
- Holly Rae, FFer
btw nice choices, Lindsey
- Holly Rae, FFer
Actually I like "Hard Day's Night" and "Norwegian Wood," too, but not quite as much as "Blackbird."

yes John thats a good one too............actually its really hard to find a bad one
- VAL D.
i thought the question is: what's your favourite? I admit that most of them are good, as they were brilliant songwriters. I just listed my current 3 faves. It'll probably change in the next year. :)
- T. Brent, technopeasant
Re. finding a bad one: Some years back a radio station did Beatles A-Z where they played every published Beatles song exactly once. It took all weekend. I vaguely remember there was a song I didn't care for, but I can't say what it was.
- Bruce Lewis
Mr. Moonlight. Was that it?
- Jim Hearts FF
It might have been. My memory is so vague now I don't think I would even remember if you named it.
- Bruce Lewis
I only said that because it's the only one in the whole opus that I can't stand.
- Jim Hearts FF
That's a tough question. I'll have to get back to you. :)
- Carmen
my number one favorite is Hey Jude :-)
- anjelina
I have two: Rocky Raccoon and Happiness is a Warm Gun...surprised nobody has mentioned either yet!
- Louis Simoneau
In My Life and Across the Universe
- J. Abdul-Qahhar
I don't think I've listened to the original Across the Universe very much. I love the Fiona Apple version. *goes to find it*
- Lindsey is Fierce!
I Wanna Hold Your Hand :o)

I can remember as a small child my father coming home and saying "there's going to be a lot of wet pillows tonight... The Beatles have broken up". Great pity John and George are not around to see this, I'm sure John would have something to say about it.

I got this the other week and played all day when I bought it but haven't gone back because I will get sucked in for hours!

The art director picked the right people to do the animation for this game. The opening and closing sequences were done by Robert Valley and Alberto Mielgo (of Gorillaz fame) and the in-between videos were done by MK12, my favorite ad-animation house.
- Phil G
Oh . . . thanks Phil! I was trying to find out who did it
- Lindsey is Fierce!
No problem Lindsey! Here's a link for you: http://www.boingboing.net/2009...

The art direction in this is pretty frigging amazing.
- Jason Huebel
I love the cut scenes between chapters
- Rodfather
I wish they'd done the gameplay in this style, too. Though the animated dreamscapes on the later songs are pretty awesome, too.

Hint: If you start a game called "September" and it's not done by October 25, you took too long.

I see nothing wrong with that. I don't mind a slow game but I do mind when people forget about a game entirely. I don't have a problem forcing forfeits then.

Thomas, I would have had more compassion if it were her first offense. This is a pattern, and maybe she'll remember it better next time. :)

Louis is a gentle man he couldn't deliver tough love if he tried - I suspect his Mom is kicking his ass and he's had to pull out in embarassment

I think most NFL players look overdressed in their zoot suits after the game but Tony Romo always looks like he's going to Applebees.

I'm confident I'll be back again before Christmas. I want to see the fireworks show again.

I didn't even get to the night time stuff. I'm thinking I can do Disneyland at least monthly. Christmas time should be fantastic.

These older phones are so limited, using just "m" rather than "mobile" in the subdomain is a necessary goofiness. It is my opinion that if you're not a phone with a full browser, you shouldn't be browsing the web. WAP and WML blow, btw.

When you see the mistakes Friendster, MySpace, Friends Reunited (UK) made that led to their irrelevance, it makes sense to keep pushing the art forward. I believe Facebook realise that and thus keep taking the best aspects of Twitter/FF etc. However they still need to retain their innovative edge, which I believe they have kind of lost over the past year.

Golden rule in software: you can't satisfy all your customers all of the time. So, in order to improve there is no way around pissing users off.
