davidrauf: @Rackspace just posted the 3Q earnings release. revenue up 17.4% and profit jumped 8.8% compared to same time last year. - http://twitter.com/davidra...
If they are all rackspace customers (and not cloud/etc) then thats at least 4,000,000 in extra monthly revenue. If they are cloud, sites, slicehost, etc - then who knows...

I wish I could install android os on iPhone like bootcamp is used for windows on mac os snow leopard.

AS A PRODUCT...can it fail as something else?
- Ahmed Fathalla
Ahmed, I believe Robert is trying to distinguish between the product and the platform.

Seems strange that after more than 2 years nobody has been able to top the iPhone. This speaks very high of Apple ...and very low of the rest.

I read in FT about Android OS that there was update known as 1) cupcake 2) Donut 3) Eclair and now speculation, 4)some bakery product beginning F and then 5)something beginning with G, probably "GPhone" ? I hope that update will bring something to cheer.
- ashish
I forgot to add that the next Android update is called "Flan".

ashish, great deduction there... it's well known that their OS codenames have been derived from pastry... and one could also assume that the alpha and beta OS versions were pastries starting with the letters a and b, respectively, of course.

Droid may not live up to the iPhone standard. But, to the extent all platforms are innovating to catch up to Apple, we all benefit from better products.

Sorry, Just go the Google and type "Google starts to reap rewards of smartphone openness" without the quotes and it should display the webpage without any hassle.

That's too bad. Verizon is my current carrier and I'm overdue to upgrade my phone. I'm a Mac fan and would love to own an iPhone but there's no way I'm putting up with AT&T's bad coverage to do it.

I'm still waiting for the HTC Passion to drop. It looks like it will be better than the DROID

@GregKumparak it's not the sole, but it sure tells me how much thought went into the design.
I set up a couple lists on Twitter, subscribed to a few more but mostly Tweetdeck doesn't support lists either making or checking or subscribing
- WarLord
The overwhelming majority of lists have more people in them than subscribers.
- Louis Gray
I'm using lists as more of an endorsement than anything - I just don't use the Twitter UI enough to use the lists for reading data. I also don't read every single post in my stream. That's what Facebook is for.
- Jesse Stay
Also subscribed to one of Robert's - congrats btw on becoming the king of lists

@scobleizer Robert, you are dead on! FYI @Peoplebrowsr already supports lists (read-only, I think).
- Alexandros Georgiadis
I use my lists as filters. Their primary use is for me. Others may find them useful, but that wasn't my purpose in assembling them.

I'm trying to slowly build lists. Its hard to find the time. I wish Twitter would let me search within my friends for keywords to help make the process faster.
- Mary-Lynn
When I see someone write something interesting I add them to a list, simpels :D
- Asgeir
I will subscribe to lists when they become more sophisticated and complete; that is, ones that are built around specific organizations (all off Google's official Twitter accounts, for example) or based on user statistics (Favstar is off to a good start with that). Otherwise, lists are just subjective categories that I can create best for myself.
- Cloud
I'm just a little confused about lists. What benefit is there in actually following a list? Why can't I say bookmark one of Robert's lists and visit it directly? Seems to give me the same information.
