This Week In Google
Google Threatens Cyanogen Android Hacker With Cease-and-Desist - Cyanogen - Gizmodo - http://gizmodo.com/5367420...
This needs as much coverage as possible please please please mention this on twig sat - Jeff Walenta
Agree with Jeff. I have written by hand a letter that I am mailing to Google along with others. They need to reach a logical compromise. Many in the dev forums are declaring their current Android device will be their last. I am also making this my last Android device unless this changes. Leo, Gina, Jeff, I urge you as a fan of open source and open community, to address this today. - Mike Lewis
Just because Android is an open source OS, that doesn't make their apps (gmail, gtalk) open source. Don't they have the right to decide where their apps are used? Mike, Jeff what's the issue here? - Chris
This is a sad day, and I don't even have an android yet (as a student). Hopefully, by the time I get one, Cyanogen will be a feasible ROM. - Nathan Snyder
Matt Cutts
What's your geekiest/favorite gadget right now?
I'll start. I'm enjoying playing with my Pogoplug, which turns any USB hard drive into a network hard drive that you can access from the web anywhere in the world. pogoplug.com - Matt Cutts
I am totally addicted to my iPod Touch. I've been using my PC less now, but sadly it's also effected my blogging and productivity. - Imran Hussain
Predictable answer, I know, but the energy related apps on my iPhone. - Peter Troast
matt what happened to your hair?!! (ive been on vacation) - sean percival
My new HTC Magic. Been hacking on it and installing all sorts of ROMs and apps ever since I got it 2 weeks ago. - Stelian Iancu from iPhone
HTC G1. changed my life. - Erez Sonnenschein
He lost a bet ... he he. - Stelian Iancu from iPhone
My iPhone has changed my life! - Peter
It has to Iphone 3G[S] which is my first video camera. - ashish
Me too, Stelian: My HTC Magic is so much geek-a-liciousness: rooting, hacking customizing.. - J. David Goodman
Bought the iPhone 3GS 2 days ago, trying to organize the homescreens now. (Also: the move from iPod Touch to iPhone is actually a bit scary.) - Gustav Holmström
Depends. My heartrate/stopwatch is winning me back. I wish it had GPS and a pedometer. - Admiral Anika
@Gustav: Why is it scary? - Stelian Iancu from iPhone
My htc magic...great phone! - Sufian Siddiqi from Android
Holy mackerel, Matt!! Your head is shiny! My current favorite gadget is the Blackberry 8900+Google Voice. I feel sorry for those poor iPhone users ;) - Ron's Home And Hardware
Blackberry 8900, although I cannot wait for the 9700, T-Mobile needs a 3G Blackberry device like yesterday :) - Nithin Jawali
@Stelian: To use it with the operator I prefer here in Sweden, I have to jailbreak and unlock it. And its always scary to see if you made all settings right, and don't pay per MB of data you use, or roams of another network etc. - Gustav Holmström
iPhone 3GS - I dumped a BB Bold and I am so happy now! - Giorgio
the reprap open souced 3d printers http://reprap.org/bin... - Maurice Walshe
@Gustav: Ahh, I know what you mean. I had to do the same here in Switzerland with my 3G. However, you're scared only the first time you do it :-) - Stelian Iancu
@Stelian: Nah, scared the first days, and really scared to call and check the balance. - Gustav Holmström
My IronKey. Hands-down.-- find out about it at ironkey.com - Chris Arkwright
Lovin' my Slacker G2! Cancelled XM subscription months ago and this little G2 is far more enjoyable than any of the satellite radios (and service) I've had over the years. - Aaron Katz
my E71, of course - Ole Irgens
Palm Pre, ftw! - .LAG liked that
HTC Magic for sure. - Andrew C from Android
iPhone / Palm Pre - vijay
I've been really enjoying my new Nike+ app with running sensor that syncs with iPhone 3Gs/iTunes. I've been running alot listening to RAGE and tracking all my data. Pretty cool technology that I am benefiting from healthwise. - Jason Cronkhite from iPhone
Palm Pre - AKA pocketable Linux server with EVDO, WiFi, Bluetooth, touchscreen, keyboard, and a camera. - Ken Sheppardson
Favorite is, ofcourse, my lowly Sony Ericsson W580i with the gifted Noise Cancelling Earbuds :D - Yuvi
cell phone jammer for all you people with no manners! - Drew
Pogoplug as well but soon it will be my new Drobo NAS! - Lester Greenberg
the google flashing pin. It's hypnotic. - gareth【ツ】
IPhone 3G - Dave Dugdale
HTC Hero - I have had it for about a week by now, once you get rid of all the HTC Sence widgets it runs like a charm:-) - Jonas Andreasson from Android
Pedometer.... earlier it was iPod. - Sudar
Usb coffe warmer - Melita
Kinda old.. but Wacom tablet - eapen
DSLR camera :) - hIpPy
Currently it's my feet. Low tech discovers enabling me to walk/run home all of a sudden. Oh, and iPhone app. Runkeeper to make sure I remember it too :) - (unknown)
My new netbook! - Stephanie
Rutger Blom
Leo Laporte
I left Twitter for Jaiku. Then Jaiku left me for Google. I moved in with Pownce but it died. I went back to Twitter, but flirted with Plurk, Identica, and Rejaw, and even tried doing it myself with Laconica but it was Twitter I really loved. Twitter finally broke my heart so I left it for Friendfeed. Now Friendfeed is leaving me for Facebook. No...
It's like the internet version of Days of Our Lives - Jon, the Chilled Beartato
HAHAHAHAHA.... - David from IM
Haha. ROFL - Roberto Bonini
is friendfeed going anywhere or will it just get better? - Craig Shipp
I'm with you Leo. - Oracio
It reads better than Soap - my roadmap is very similar but I'll forgive FF and live happily ever after with it (for the time being, anyway) - Nicholas Paul Gordon from iPhone
You're the best Leo. Canadians are the funniest people. - Dan Lessard
I'm betting they'll slowly digest it into the Facebook news feed. They claim that Friendfeed is staying put for now, but that won't last. - Ken Bauer
And we keep following Leo all over the place! - Robert Scoble
Long live Leo - Randy Pollock
When will we all get in a long term relationship and stop getting our hearts broken? - Nate Pilling
so what is more important, the medium or the people, hope that FF will let us export our content, and our social netork :) (in my wild dreams) - abdellah
Need ice cream? I'm new to FF, and kind of sad I didn't jump on the proverbial wagon sooner! - Elizabeth K. Barone
I hope you leave your standard breadcrumbs so we can find you in the next chapter of social interaction. - jcunwired
Feels to me like maybe it's time to go back to building a distributed network, rather than hopping from service to service. - Ken Sheppardson
But where to next? That's the question. Wave sounds great, but the implementation will be a PAIN. So where? Oh LeoMoses...where is our path in the desert? - ‘-.-’ Tutivillus Grift
Sounds like a hurtin' country song in the making. - Bill Rodman
The wave of the future is wave - Randy Pollock
Well you can't say that what is happening in the 'social sphere' is boring by any means! - Matt Cassem
I think Leo's audience is more likely to click "Like" or "comment" than Scoble's is. When Leo and Rob are both posting on FF, Leo gets more likes and comments - Mark
Didn't you leave a post earlier saying how funny it was that people complain anytime there's a change (referring to the FF buyout)? This sounds like a complaint to me. - Fleagle
Not complaining - just thinking about the future. I think a little Friendfeed DNA will vastly improve Facebook. And I think Facebook is already the big winner with the general populace. I also think we geeks need a corner somewhere else to hang out in. - Leo Laporte
And I have no plans to leave Friendfeed. Yet. - Leo Laporte
Yet being the operative word..... - Roberto Bonini
sounds like a country song to me - gavin
As for this geeky alternative, http://a.tinythread.com/ just showed up in my feed this morning. Thoughts? - Craig B.
I feel more of a personal connection with the FriendFeed team than I have with other services I've left, and that will be a big part of why I will stay as long as possible. - Louis Gray
^^^ replace "team" with "community" and there's my reason for sticking it out. - jcunwired
Its also going to take a very long time to go through content and bookmark/store it elsewhere. Evernote is going to be used heavily in the weeks to come. - jcunwired
The only way to have control is to use your own URL - Craig Shipp
Wait till you meet Facebook's randy cousin Overly Friendly Book =) - Cynthia Yildirim
what Louis gray said. I'm going to hang around until the lights go out. - Jordan Brock from BuddyFeed
What they said, I don't see any reason to leave FriendFeed unless something actually changes that makes the service worthless to me. - Craig B.
And many times you cheated Twitter, she was always loyal to you. Thats mean someting! - Jacque from f2p
yup me too Louis and I don't know any of them - Thomas Power
Plurk's not worth leaving anyone for. - Rachel R.
Leo, I think you need to change your FaceFeed status to "It's Complicated" ;) - Daynah
Play this thread off, keyboard cat. - Fleagle
You have to go back to your blog. It still loves you Leo. - Dave Winer
Screw you, Friendfeed! - Andrew Leahey
Users today are investors too - only the 'exit' for us is not lucrative.... its the other way sometimes :) - Mrinal Desai
I just had the idea: wow, how good will Faceboook become though this input? (JUST imagine tagging ppl in FB the way U can Tag them in FF.) - oliver gassner
Love Stinks. - shelter watch
I'm quite surprised that you could keep track of all that! - Robert Alex
Leo Laporte listed his relationship as: "its complicated." - Randy Shapiro
Damn thats complicated - drmacintosh
Don't worry Leo, its not you, its them... - Steven McGurn
so where do we go now? - Brian Appleby
I agree with Jonathan Hardesty "It's like the internet version of Days of Our Lives" - And sites keep getting killed off only to come back to life a month later! - Amy Flynn
very true, however on the other hand, we are getting closer to that one service which everyone will be on... and I dont think twitter is going to be that one - Bryce Campbell
Facebook buying FriendFeed is like having to MOVE just when you got your house all dressed up and made into a comfy HOME! I don't feel like doing it again! - Arleen Anderson
Now that Facebook and Friendfeed have married, I'm waiting for Twitfacefeedplebospacening. - Anthony Marco
You all just have ants in your pants :) - Jeunelle Foster
Leo, u by your self made two companies (services) out of 3 famous and made Google interested enough to buy 2 of them (Jaiku & FF). Google also tried to flirt with Twitter as well. So which one u choose now? Cause we will follow u :P - Sam Ehsan
Sounds like some of my past love affairs. Of course, I'm married now. That, um, was prior. - Paul Chaney
lmfao, its so true leo, so true! - Derek Bender
Feeling a bit worn around the edges? ... me too! - Susan Beebe from iPhone
Speaking of Days Of Our Lives: Didn't that show jump the shark when the serial killer was unmasked as Marlena (a character I used to have a mad crush on, and who's now mostly a professional victim)? Then all the "killed" characters came back to life, since they were only what I call "soap opera dead"... - Dennis Jernberg
And if everyone follows you, then your all having affairs all over the place! LOL - Sandra Large
I think it's back to the TWiT Army! - Paul Salzman
It's not like we have proposed Healthcare reform, or anything really important, going on in the U.S.A. - Steve de Mena
it's getting ridiculous, FEDERATED is the word! - Dobromir Hadzhiev
who is actually leaving FF? have many people vowed to do so yet? I'd like to but there isn't any alternative. - Denise Young
the joys and sorrows of everyday social IT folks... :-) - Thomas Lee
People are talking a lot about Streamy today. Might be an alternative. - Caio Cesar
Streamy seems to be crashing left & right tho. - Rick Cogley
Not to mention Pownce was shutdown as soon as it got good! - Kenneth Reitz
No mention of Microsoft Vine? - Robert MacEwan
yep. welcome to another episode of; As the Stomach Turns. one big soap opera. - Scratch5150
I've decided I'm not going to tell ANYONE which site I'm favoring... not even myself! I swear! As soon as I decided that FF was my new place (a couple months ago) THIS happens! It's like magic, but in a bad bad way... - Mark "DerBingle" J
Why do we all assume this is a bad thing? Maybe the FF Facebook combo will be better?? - Craig Shipp
Maybe they'll keep both open -- FF is the open side, and FB is the closed side. - John Flinchbaugh from IM
Social Networks are sluts? - TheDiva Rockin
It sure is. - Jason Hill
I know exactly how you feel. What's a person to do? I am mad at Twitter for suspending some of my accounts. First, the accounts kept causing the password to reset, then they were suspended, all around the time of the DOS attacks. All I ever used Twitter for was to advertise my businesses, and for fun. Now I don't know where to go. - DogPatch
Here's some thoughts on what's going to happen:http://kennethreitz.com/blog... - Kenneth Reitz
It's like my beloved Archie comics romantic twists from childhood! Archie loves Veronica who loves Reggie who loves Betty who loves Archie... ;) - Shawn Zehnder Lea
More like "As the worm churns" - Houseofmax
한글 와서~ 루거 .. 당신은 정말 잘 생기고있다 누드 사진 기다리다 :] - HealingBrush
One of the funniest sad stories I've heard in a long time... - Aviva Gabriel
Gotta find one who is a lady in public and a whore in the bedroom. One who looks like a woman, but thinks like a man. One who tells you you're the only person in their world and worships the ground you walk on. One who's from Venus but want's to live on Mars. One who you know will always be there even when the chips are down. One who looks like a movie star, but doesn't bust the credit... more... - Jan Simmonds
I think a lot of people LOVE to think negatively and don't want to think positively. They think FB is BAD and will ruin FF, but I think if they do it well, FB won't be the bad guy. I think most people who are irked about this are irked because they think the FFers "sold out" to the "man". - Molly, "sorry"
@Mollyanna - I disagree. I am irked because the future of FF is completely uncertain. It's more likely that FB will let FF flounder and close it down than it is that FB will invest time and resources in maintaining and enhancing FF. FB has other interests and is splitting up the FF dev team. That does not bode well for FF. I don't begrudge the FF devs for taking the money. I would be... more... - Fa La La La Lindsay
Leo, I hope you mention FriendFeed in your Dubai TED talk ! :) I'll try to be there ! - Ahsan Ali aka. Slick
@Jan You're an asshat. - Ian Wright from BuddyFeed
leo, check out Streamy.com. I'm actually commenting to friendfeed from there right now...you may like it better. - Casey Petersen

Haiku Laporte - Outsanity
that was cute! :O) - Jeanne
@ian - "Wordsmith. Public relations undergraduate at The University of Texas. Feminist Capitalist. WordPress geek. Future commercial rights attorney"...surely that kind of asinine comment is beneath you! - Jan Simmonds
Maybe they're just not that into you. - Elizabeth Johnson
Wait... who's on first? - Michael Rosenau
Logged in to suggest that many of us have tridden a similar path, but a lot of people have beaten me to it! I miss Pownce - SpionKopRed
wow, Leo. You've got relationship issues! - Justin Bradshaw
there there, Shawny's here... - sofarsoShawn
I sense a pattern here.. maybe you always seem to go after web2.0 services that are bent on ditching you :) - Shivanand Velmurugan

Craig Newmark is in line with us going to San Antonio at SFO. Yes, he does customer service for craigslist.org in line. I got him to join Twitter a year ago. Now we need to convince him to use friendfeed more. He is at http://www.friendfeed.com/craigne... - Robert Scoble
He blames me for getting him 10,000 followers and more customer support work. :-) - Robert Scoble

Evidence is mounting that installing apps directly on the iPhone is the cause of the bricking. Use iTunes only, even for updates.
Can I take this to mean, evidence of bricking iPhone directly linked to using iPhone as suggested by apple?? - James Fridley
Rubbish installed apps fine just stop putting 50 apps on the phone - Nick Brennan
Evidence is mounting that Apple needs to fix it so that iPhoners can install apps directly on their phones w/o risking bricking. - MiniMage TKDteacher of FF
Is that only with 3G Leo? I am using a jailbroken 1st gen with firmware 2.0 and I am installing many apps directly from the App Store on the phone. No problem as of now. - Dominic Tremblay
This has been my experience as well Leo - Neil Bakker
I'm useing ipod touch with 2.0 and I can't install or upgrade apps from iTunes. - Tony Speer
I'm using the 3G and have install plenty through the App Store and SSH without any issues. - Andrew Trinh
Oddly, my iPhone says there are 4 updates available and my iTunes says I'm up to date - even after syncing. - Renee Pie
I haven't had any issues so far over the air using 3G. Might be specific to a firmware or model type? - James Tenniswood
I've only installed apps via appstore on the iphone and have yet to use iTunes and haven't had a single bricking issue. I've probably installed 50+ apps and god knows how many updates - Grant Gochnauer
Another reason not to buy an iPhone...I'll stick with Windows Mobile phones like my Q9H, it ain't perfect but it works. - David Ward
So much for doing it all on the mobile. Hope everyone is enjoying their public beta release - Jonathan Greene

nokia n810 - symbian assisted gps beta - http://dailymobile.se/2008...
i upgraded my n810 to diablo, and installed a-gps betait still takes me forever and a day to get a gps lock, if ever. does ur location in the world play a part? . - Alphonsus Lee
hmmm, wouldn't think so... where are you? - torr
i'm in singapore. i've installed a-gps beta, and moved the location pointer to the singapore region. but the gps still takes forever. is there some config file that i have to edit manually to get gps cranking? - Alphonsus Lee
a-gps shall work Ok in Singapore - send feedback to A-GPS project on betalabs http://www.nokia.com/A41163987 btw, do you have wifi or gprs/3g working while try to lock GPS? without that A-GPS is helpless - A.T.
@silpol: gprs/3g? on the n810? how? :-) - Stelian Iancu
I find it very confusing that people tend to say "connected" - this is very old paradigm. for TCP/IP networks they prefer to say "has at least default gateway working" meaning that packets originated on your host (here it is N810) can go out and reach server. The fact it is bluetooth works as wireless *wire* between N810 and some phone , or whether it is WiFi - it doesn't matter much - A.T.

Guess who's coming to dinner, Windows users? MobileMe! - http://feeds.chron.com/~r...
More shenanigans from Apple. - Steve Rubel
I would love to throw a brick in Apple's window but if their technology allows indeed e-mail, contacts, and music sync with the iPhone on a Windows system, with all apps communication with the phone through a unique account then that account should have a unique control/settings point and that belongs to the Control Panel.On the other hand, can somebody tell me what is the "Windows CardSpace" plug-in supposed to offer? (rhetorical question :) - Lucian

How often are we going to see iPhone apps released? whenever someone's submission is accepted and released or on regular intervals like a Wiiware title or a Tuesday album release?
I would hope there is a steady daily stream of new apps, one day a week would cause too many good apps to be overshadowed by "big name" apps that will get all of the attention - Grant
Let's hope there will be an easy way to see all the new apps. - Stelian Iancu
The last.fm was released yesterday on the App Store, so I'm guessing that there's no particular day. That might change once the launch frenzy is over. - Fox Tucker
FYI: Useful direct link to the page of new apps in the iTunes Store: tinyurl.com/newiphoneapps. Details: efficientmd.blogspot.com/2008/07/link-to-all-iphone-applications-in-app.html - Joshua Schwimmer

I love your job too :) - Andrew Smith
We love your job too, and how well you do it. :) - Margaret Kerr from twhirl
i love your job except when i am trying to get something done, because i can't tune you out. - robert steburg
I love your job too and if I had it I might be able to afford all of the "toys" you turn me on to. Keep at it! - Mike
@Robert: I think there might be a direct correlation between how much Leo loves his job and my inability to do mine when he is on. :) PS I can't stop whistling the Skype Dial Tone now! - Johnny Worthington
We love that you love your job. For some of us in our jobs, however, the opposite of love applies. :-( - Dave "Freedom 35"
Do what you love, love what you do. It is a fundemental truth that escapes most of us. - Rob Fuller from twhirl
love that you love your job so should we all - Danny Pratt
And I love the output. I look forward to Macbreak Weekly and TWiT. - Jonathon
It's a great job. Congrats on 24 hours of iphone. - Ryan

@Scott Bannon: the world doesn't owe you a living. if your business model involves selling people the product of 4*4, you should not be surprised when people share this knowledge with others. - Sam Levine
The internet always has and always will view censorship and surveillance as damage and will route around it. Control is a business plan for failure online. Always has been, always will. If you create a market with artificial scarcity, you create value for competition and black markets. - Mike Seidle

All of the various settings that can be adjusted for better battery life.
