- Micah Wittman
Awesome Micah, I was going nuts for a while. So without going to speculation what do you make of "Twitter's realtime feed from them is gone"? Is it scalability issues? But Google and Bing have no problems?
- Jorge Escobar
It's speculation, but I think it's Twitter saying "Ooopsy, now how did that happen? We'll put Top Men on it." and a Friendfeed Alum with "we hope to get it restored" as technically true, but belying that they know or suspect it's a TWTR business decision dragging-of-the-feet and not merely technical. But this can all be cleared up with an official statement :) Maybe I missed it - if so I apologize for wild speculation.
- Micah Wittman
Thanx Micah, Jorge. We'll wait for the update from Paul or Bret.
- Steve Gillmor
Sounds good :)
- Micah Wittman
I wasn't seeing updates from Twitter to Friendfeed for 12 hours, but a manual refresh works ok. It is interesting to note the differences in 'real time' for Friendfeed, Twitter and FaceBook they all behave differently - only one of them seems to be 'real' real time -\

I love Farmville....there I said it. If ya don't like it, tough squat. I also play Cafe World, Pet Society, Farm Town and Mafia Wars, even though Mafia Wars is bugging me lately.

I don't play farmville, but I do play Enchanted island (nice passive rpg that doesn't really annoy your friends) and the Backstage games (did the artwork for a charity prize set in Scratch & Win).

In Italy we use to say: "Two good arms hijacked from Agriculture" and that's a very good reason NOT to play Farmville!

Farmville won't show me all the screen, not just on my TabletPC, but on my desktop (widescreen) w/ Firefox. People tell me I can, er, was it resize or pop the screen out, don't remember? However, that icon doesn't make it into what little of Farmville shows. I prefer Farm Town, anyway. I don't want to be bothered with fertilizing and watering and all that stuff. If I want to do all that, I'll switch to real life. I don't even play Farm Town anymore; I like Castle Age. I SMACKED THE CRAP OUTTA THAT HYDRA!

Ronin: For the past 23 years, my right eye has been floating between -3.25 & -4.75, and my left eye between -2.75 and -3.75. The astigmatism ranges from -0.25 to -1.0 (Don't remember if it ever went over -1.0). Wish I were better organized. I don't know how much the astigmatism rotated over the years. Astigmatism started when I had a bad bout of manic depression in 1986.

Another great invention, the Exhaust Air Jack - http://www.onemoregadget.com/another...
Ron Thompson, Ron Bailey, Roberto Bonini and 22 other people liked this
This invention is not new. I remember having seen this in the early '80s when a city bus was jacked up this way by a service crew after an accident.
- Stephan Planken
Similar (almost identical) device was marketed under TV-direct-sale ads in late 80's in Turkey. The valve applied pumping pressure to a little place so exhaust pressure was enough to pump the balloon without stalling. Useful anyway.
- Acharad Sami VanJoulee
This is very destructive thing for internal combustion engines. Motor revolution causes overheating for a while and engine life shortened. Exhaust gasses should be easily away from combustion chamber.
- Hüseyin GÜRSOY
@Hüseyin, Sure that even built-in Catalytic Convertors provides much more opposing obstacle than this device. The balloon system has a conic shaped valve. In every case, exhaust pressure is much more than balloon's inside pressure (because conic valve's surface at balloon is so small) Thus you can pump air inside even with any hand-pump. After you stop pumping, valve closes and holds the air for you. After usage, all you need is turn on the evacuate mode of valve.

Mac and cheese w/ mushrooms - http://www.lamag.com/article...
Melissa, Parfe, Shey, Jamaican of FF and 7 Sugar-Coated Goblins liked this
"I firmly believe that macaroni and cheese is one of the great American dishes. It’s been ruined by Kraft and other companies that would have you believe macaroni and cheese consists of overcooked pasta smothered in iridescent “cheese food.” A true macaroni and cheese is a creamy casserole with a crisp, cheesy crust. Made properly, it’s delicious, even without the wild mushrooms. Though, why not gild the lily? I use penne for the pasta because I like it better than the smaller, smoother macaroni. In early American usage all pasta was macaroni. Remember the Yankee Doodle who stuck a feather in his cap and called it macaroni? He probably meant penne, because the word derives from the word for “pen,” or “quill,” which at that time would have been a feather."

I'd happily trade in my iPhone for a Droid, assuming it meets my requirements: 1) over-the-air sync with iCal and Exchange; 2) Shared addressbook and calendar with my family; 3) MLB.tv; 4) OmniFocus; 5) HP15C calculator; 6) Evernote; 7) Amazon Kindle App; 8) Skype; 9) Y! Messenger; 10) E*Trade; 11) Dropbox; 12) Keynote Remote; 13) Pandora.

You can still keep your iPhone and use all the apps. Treat it as an iPod :)

And the Kindle app

I don't want to carry two devices
- Glen Campbell
And on a Droid - you can run all 8 of those things at one time and swap between them, share data between them, and not have to close any of them.
- Matthew DeVries
Matthew, are you saying that the Droid has everything but those two apps?
- Glen Campbell
Yes, yes I am
- Matthew DeVries
I don't know what MOB.tv is
- Matthew DeVries
Oops, misspelling, should be MLB.tv — I'll edit
- Glen Campbell
Oh, and I should have included this: it has to play all my iTunes music and videos.
- Glen Campbell
My G1 plays my whole iTunes library and videos - So I'd assume the Droid does as well, only faster
- Matthew DeVries
I can not wait to get a Droid... I mean, Why not have an iPhone, PalmPre, AND a Droid? Put those networks and their 'map-converge-size' sword fights to an honest test! All I really would need is a BBerry (does TMobile do them?) to round out the device/network testing matrix... Hmmm, perhaps a FreelanceG33k Project in the making...
- Walt Ruppar
Does the metal detector app work with Droid? That's something the iPhone can't do ;) EDIT: Nevermind. The 3GS can do it now.
- Rodfather
If it has a digital compass, then the metal detector *should* work.
- Slippy "Threadsbane" Lane
LOL, Matthew — I can now imagine all the songs sounding like a 33RPM album played at 45RPM :)
- Glen Campbell
I meant access time (for the videos) of course :)
- Matthew DeVries
Honestly, I don't miss the iPhone. I still carry it around but hardly use it and if I do, it's for games. I'm fairly happy with the Pre. I mostly use the browser, camera (w/ flash), SMS & IM (AIM & Gtalk). Multitasking and messaging is good. I do wish it had video recording and Shazam. I just couldn't stand AT&T any longer. Android looks nice and with Verizon, it'll be a hit because people actually like being able to make phone calls.
- Rodfather
I may be the weird one out, but I've never really had any problems with AT&T; been using them since moving to the US in 2000.
- Glen Campbell
You came from a foreign country and have cultivated a love for.......baseball? I mean, I like it, but if I weren't american? I'd think it was only slightly less boring than Patong

It will really sync with iTunes? How do they do that?

I just drag the folder from My Documents to the SD card.

How does it get authorization from the Apple iTunes Store?

There's also doubleTwist http://www.doubletwist.com/dt... Say bye bye to DRM

Glen, you forgot kitchen sink in that requirements list, but otherwise it's complete :)
- Micah Wittman
Oh, I don't have any DRM media. I never believed in that mess.
- Matthew DeVries
That is the problem with any phone other then the iPhone. I can't run my apps on the other phones.
- Mathew™ one of a kind
Ah, so I'd have to ditch a couple of thousand dollars' worth of media.
- Glen Campbell
Why not just convert the files to MP3, Glen?
- MVB (Curmudgeon of FF)

doubleTwist will strip the DRM
- Rodfather
The site says nothing about stripping DRM. And I'm pretty certain that's not allowable under the DMCA, though I'd love to be incorrect on that.
- Glen Campbell
There's an HP-15C app? Why was I not told? Update: Oh, $20? Wow. The original calculator was only $100 or so (and I still use it daily).
- LogEx
The old DRM'd iTunes music is no more problem than a DVD. Apple lets you burn it to a CD then re-import it with no DRM, so it's not a big leap to format-shift it through some other means. Glen, the DMCA is a BS law... what you do in the privacy of your own home for your personal Fair Use isn't what gets people in trouble with the RIAA. You'll still have the original .m4p file to enjoy on your computer.
- LogEx
If I bought the music, I should be able to use it however I want. Google 'doubleTwist drm'. It converts your files. The guy on board was the one who cracked the DVD protection.

Verizon is going to get sued for offering an "unlimited" data plan that only allows 5GB.
- Glen Campbell
That is everyone's "unlimited" data plan. Even your too the wall broadband connection has a cap.
- Matthew DeVries
And I think Verizon's is actually nicer, because when you hit the cap, they just turn you off, unlike iPhone/ATT, who let you keep going, don't tell you have the cap, and charge like $1/MB beyond the 5GB.
- Matthew DeVries
Verizon charges you extra too. At least on my MiFi plan. I hate cell companies

VIDEO: Mythbusters test golf ball-like dimpling effect on fuel economy (http://www.autoblog.com/2009...)
Ken Morley, Wulffy, Greg Lato and 23 other people liked this
I loved this episode. I was completely shocked it worked and was so wrong on why it worked. My thought was dimples on a golf ball kept it stable in the air, like rifling in a gun barrel. But dimples make a golf ball fly twice a far due to decreased drag caused by the increased turbulence (http://wings.avkids.com/Book...). I guess this is another example where introducing noise makes things work better. The Mythbusters tested if this approach would work on a car. It did! There was an 11% increase in gas mileage when driving the dimpled car. Now I'm assuming car engineers know this and haven't designed a car like this because they test marketed the idea in a mall somewhere and people hated it. Time to change. I think this kind of car would be a counter cultural badge of honor and would really be popular, especially in the younger demo.
- Todd Hoff
Apparently hexagons result in a lower drag than the even round dimples, that would be cool to try.
- Todd Hoff
dimples are awesome, no matter where they might appear.
- Morgan Haley
time to try this on aircraft.
- Joe Silence is not dead
Cool, but I'd hate to have to wash and wax that. :)
- ha3rvey (doink doink)
Experimental aircraft that have been declassified recently have a similar less indented pattern. I used to think it was only for radar evasion ?

I knew it could be read both ways, John. Kind of works either way ;) And Jason, I can see about the selling prints thing. I'm game. I just need to find a good way to do it. I'd probably compile a set of greatest hits or something. In a couple more months, I should have enough to pick some out and post them all together.
