xkcd - Working for Google
how would a cake shaped like the internet be shaped? - chaz2b
Google would argue that the internet is shaped like the Chrome logo. Data topologists would have a fit - LANjackal
Since this is xkcd I would assume it looked either like http://xkcd.com/195/ or http://xkcd.com/256/ - Kevin Fox
@Kevin: Since those two representations are at different levels in the networking stack, I'd expect a multi-layer cake. - Manas Tungare

chaz: it's a bow tie. Keep it quiet though. - Matt Cutts from iPhone
Not so much levitation really but that's how it ends up looking to the untrained eye. - EricaJoy
when he did visit google I had hoped the cake would be http://xkcd.com/195/ but they baked one with this comic on... http://googlified.com/xkcd-go... - Kevin Marks

That's nice but BT lets you download stuff so you can watch it when you don't have a net connection like on an airplane for example. - Dave Winer

Terrorist Has No Idea What To Do With All This Plutonium - The Onion
This is one of my all-time favorite Onion articles. ""We had just given thanks to Allah for this glorious means to destroy the Great Satan once and for all, when [sub-lieutenant] Mahmoud [Ghassan] asked, 'So, what's the next step?'" Akhtar said. "I was at a loss."" - Ana from Bookmarklet
"Morale was temporarily buoyed when cell member Dawoud Bishr, a former student at the Sorbonne in Paris, was found intently examining the exposed plutonium, which he had lifted from its protective lead footlocker. Two days later, however, the others had to bury Bishr in a landfill outside the city." - Ana

Miro HD Video Player | Free internet tv and video podcast player.
2.0 is out. Very nice BT client/video player. - Leo Laporte from Bookmarklet
Quite slow on older machines, and memory hungry. Video player isn't champion of compatibility. But nice concept. - bnoise
I've always steered clear of BitTorrent until now. JP (@jobsworth) floated Miro 2.0 across my screen yesterday and I am already hooked. All I want to do now is find an easy way to move .avi files to my Apple TV (at the core of my multimedia system at home) and I will be even happier man. - Conor Ogle
Miro is a big part of my DIY home theater set-up - Robert Hafer
I've been a Miro fan for a while, but have to admit I haven't used it much lately. It seems like a relic from the era where we needed to actually download video-- everything is flash streaming these days. - Ross M Karchner
Flash streaming doesn't make for a good big screen experience, IMO - Robert Hafer
But HD streaming is coming. - bnoise
However, if you don't need Miro but you like the resume playback feature, give a try to SMPlayer. Better than VLC. </OT> - bnoise
Been using Miro for quite a while now. After loading XBMC on an Xbox, I still let Miro do the downloading and use the Xbox as a media extender. Haven't tried the new URL capability to stream Hulu yet though. Might get me back to viewing from Miro more. - Ken Pruett
Checking it out. Going to see what's up with this player. - Paul Wade
looking forward to 2.0, I use Miro almost every day :) - Daryl Milne
Been using the standard Miro for a while and it is pretty good. so will try the new one - Stephen Dean
Seems Cool, but it does not work on my PC; I used HULU.com once. My goal is to make a HTPC and use streaming video to watch on my TV. - Justin
Miro *is* my TV and I'm lovin' the 2.0 version. - Michael Sauers from twhirl
Why use Miro if I have itunes? - Kfir Pravda
@Kfir one reason is not to use DRM-ed stuff. - Opensource Obscure
@Kifir BitTorrent - Michael Sauers from twhirl
I have no problem with BitTorrent, but what I want to know is if Miro's BitTorrent is up-and-running whenever Miro is. IOW, does just having Miro open mean I'm participating in BT? Does that question make sense? I don't want to be streaming content OUT without knowing that I'm doing that. - Joey Gibson
grrr I can't use MIRO it crashes everytime I open it..for torrents I use VUZE, I used to use Utorrent, which I think is actually a bit faster, but VUZE there are more fun thing to play with...btw is that really you LEO LAPORTE...remember watching you on TECHTV..Call4Help and Screensaver were my fav shows! - Justin
