What I currently have is 2 drives, 150Gb and 300Gb drives and a new Blu-Ray drive (all SATA - so it's found the Blu-Ray drive and drivers fine). - Kol Tregaskes

Hi kol, you should update your mainboard drivers. I think that's the problem. - `aziz´ Alihan ÇETİN from fftogo

The issue might be that the 2 current drives are in a RAID though they appear separate in Windows (and have done for a long time). So a little confused there. They appear as one in Device Manager though: "NVIDIA JBOD 393.9G". - Kol Tregaskes

I'll grab the latest nForce drivers and give that a go. - Kol Tregaskes

It's okay but it needs to do more, but probbly keep watching it, You watch the new stargate universe? It's decent up until last weeks episode which was the worst so far. - Fee501st from iPhone

Trying to figure out the underlying message. Are vaccines good or bad? - MVB (Curmudgeon of FF) from iPod

I watched the original V and this one represents it well. It has a lot more action and hits a lot of different topics, If you are thinking about whether you should like it or not, I believe it has doing its job in provoking thought (not a common feature in most TV shows.) I like it. New LOST season will be very good also. - echostreamer

They have re-made V???? I used to love that as a kid - Alan Tickhill

The vaccine thing annoyed me, actually. - Veronica

I watched the original as kid as well It seems like they are moving faster with the story line - Ardith

I was so-so until they showed the V fleet. Now I'm anticipating where the series is going. - Rob Haas

I like it - walterh

The vaccine thing (H1N1 swine flu) is relevant & worth bringing up in the V episode. It is much weaker than the regular flu, yet many state worker (NY) were being mandated to get vaccinated until they sued & won (not mandatory any more.) How can the state force people to get vaccinated? I think that's what they were addressing in the episode of V. Well done V. - echostreamer

So far so good! - midnightgolfer

Think of it as "live email" - Paul Buchheit

The only problem I see is that advertising may not be the best way to make money from it. - Brian Sullivan

@paul, Is it correct to replace email? - Hasan Ozgan

Hasan, I don't understand your question. - Paul Buchheit

A wave-gmail integration sounds like quite the challenge. Perhaps the real-time text updates will happen and will be useful, but I can't see the conversation fragmentation of Wave being a good thing for Gmail. - Mitch

While I admire the approach of releasing something that's pre-beta, it seems there is quite a risk that people will think, "oh, I tried Wave and didn't get it," and they will not come back to it for a long time. - Laura Norvig

Laura - Google wants developers in there making cool stuff in the lead-up to the public release. If it were only developers trying out each others tools, things would be stagnant. - Mitch

I live and work in Gwave - business partner could not access wave due to inferior connections in Manchester and working in docs again was such a backward step! - Callie O Farrell

That's true, Mitchell, I forgot about all the gadgets people are developing. Also, Gina Trapani pointed out that the one interface that most of us see when we opt in to "try wave" is not the only interface available. I would love to see some samples of simpler/different interfaces. - Laura Norvig

@paul will wave ever replace email? - Hasan Ozgan

Hasan, no, it will augment email. - Paul Buchheit

The fact that Google Wave was not part of Gmail's roadmap and in fact is positioned as "the future of e-mail" was a sign to me that Google is now large enough to suffer the kind of organizational dysfunction that has done in its predecessors. As you mentioned, e-mail will be with us for a long time. It would have been better to position it as "the future of collaboration" and indicate... more... - Dare Obasanjo

Speaking of gmail-wave integration: http://www.engadget.com/2009... - Mitch

There was shortage of wave invites when it came out but now people are waiting to give wave invites. I didn't see any of my friends returning to wave after they used it once. I log into wave everyday just to see if there are any improvements. - ashish

Paul - Great insights! I too feel Wave is most suited as a team collaboration / productivity tool. The biggest hurdle is loss of context and convo structure. Once the wave team better organizes the UI, then it can go mainstream. Wave integration with gmail would be super cool and highly useful, plus it greatly would speed up user adoption. - Susan Beebe

I just posted my comment above on your blog, facebook and here - LOL :) - Susan Beebe

Mitch - cool share, thanks - Susan Beebe

"The chronological flow of the conversation is lost." That's exactly the issue. Playback tries to address it but doesn't quite. I think there are other ways to do this, that will be tried both inside and outside Google. I'm thrilled that Google didn't force the Wave team to be part of Gmail from the start, because that would have added all kinds of unnecessary constraints. This way Wave can try lots of new stuff and Gmail can adopt what sticks. - Daniel Dulitz
