I didnt really want to add everyone i know on friendfeed to my facebook, i like to keep them seperate as much as i can. but you know what, fuck it http://www.facebook.com/simon... add a note saying you;re from friendfeed if you add me, then i can group everyone up :)

I'm only going to add the people i actually talk to on here. I have a lot less people on my follow list than you, so its a bit easier for me :)

That is the biggest drawback to online communication. Firstly, it's quick so people don't spend the time they otherwise might to ponder their choice of words and overall appropriateness of the message. Secondly, it encourages the spineless to pretend they have something in their ballsack (which, as we all know, they don't... since balls and spine pretty much go together!)

Mr. 7 is dying to see it. What's the sex/violence/cussin' report?
- s t e v e
A little cussing, the violence is fairly tame, although there is some combat, as you might expect. And a brief "mating" scene between two Na'vi people. That freaked me out because not because I'm a prude, but because it was all CGI and weird. Mr. 7 will be wowed with the movie, though. The Mr. 7 in me was. It's breathtaking.

Morgan, I've been soda free at the theater since the Watchmen debut. Carried along the tide of humanity exiting the theater, I missed the restroom on my way out and drove like a madman down the block to a diner. *More notes to self: Don't go on premiere night.

What is your argument, Brian? That nothing on this list is "good" music in your opinion? I'm just not sure what you are trying to get across.

- Rodfather
New Edition
- Bren - il Machia

My point I guess is the only music on this list that I ever listened to is Jaco Pastorius and Wynton Marsalis - popular music that I know, recognize and like all comes from the '60s and early '70s. Guess when I was a teenager and young adult?
- Brian Sullivan
Who the heck put those on this list! *BLOCKED*
- Alex Scoble
Brian, the majority of my music collection spans the 60-70s. But it includes 80s-present. I think Bren was inspired by the responses in Alex's thread. I think the 80s get typecasted a bit for being nothing but hair metal, but there was so much music happening.
- Mary Carmen
The thing is, Brian, I could make a similar list for the 60s, 70s, 90s, and 00s. I was a teenager in the late 80s and early 90s, but good music is good music, I don't care what decade you came of age.

I have long held that 1984 was the best year for rock/pop albums ever: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki... Especially in the USA: Let It Be, Reckoning, Zen Arcade, Double Nickels on the Dime, This Is Spinal Tap, Mr. T's Commandments, etc. etc. etc. (ETA: I was 13 for most of 1984, so that has to be a factor.)

Sonic Youth? That said, I'm not a huge '80s fan (either music or movies), but maybe I should listen to some more of these people. I've heard some of them, but most of them I only like with reservations (like, I'd like it more if they used less echo effects, or something). Also, aren't a lot of these '70s bands? Like Siouxsie and the Banshees, The Clash...
- Jandy, ConcertMaven of FF
Jandy: my original contention was that there was a lot of good music in the 80s. Many of these bands made music in the 70s, the 90s, and other decades. The thing they all have in common is that they made what I would consider great music in the 80s. Siouxsie, for example, started in the late 70s but made most of the music for which she is best known in the 80s, ditto the Cure.

- Morgan Haley
I guess when I say "80's music" I mean something different than if I say "music made in the '80s" - which sounds counterintuitive. It's like when I say I'm not a fan of '80s movies, I don't mean I dislike all movies made in the '80s, but just that the average movie of the '80s and the styles that were common are not as appealing to me as the average movie of most every other decade. I...

- Jandy, ConcertMaven of FF
I think I know what you mean, Jandy. "stereotypical" music of the '80s (schlock hair metal, vapid pop, etc) might not be everyone's cup of tea, but as this thread shows many bands made music in the 80s that touched people.
- Bren - il Machia
Slacker Radio Station made from the artists mentioned in this thread: http://slacker.com/r/Kjyp. I haven't gotten them all added yet (and can't guarantee all the songs are from the '80s, as many of the artists span multiple decades, as we discussed). But I actually have to get some work done, so I'm gonna stop tinkering with it and just listen for a bit. :)

as long as you're going Police and not Sting, I can get on board with that... :)
- Bren - il Machia
Nah, Sting was really much more 90's and a very different style on his own. But while Police were late 70's their major fame was 80's and a strong influence for the time imo.
- Rachel Lea Fox
Best Movie EVER was Sting's Bring on the Night. What year was that? 88? 89?
- Gunny Say RELAX ™
I have a tendency to group music more on decade sound/style rather than actual year it was made. I think there is lots of run over and someone has to get the ball rolling too which often starts late in the decade preceding the one in which it will truly take off and inspire other artists.

You're also assuming that the cloud provider will back up for you... but I've seen several sites (EZBoard, BeyondUnreal....) who had massive failures. When it's on the cloud, you probably CANNOT back up your data.

Cloud is here - don't fight it - Bandwidth will increase, security will improve
- Don Bonaddio
The issue still remains, however, that you're trusting your backups to the cloud -- you're trusting your *processing* to the cloud... if the service doesn't like what you're executing -- you simply won't. hence why I hate OnLive's premise.
- Phopo Jijo

so we should put up with crappy bandwidth and insecurty NOW? argument doesn't make sense

and until this nonsense about metered bandwidth gets settled it will hold cloud applications back
- TC

- Ben
Cloud only makes sense when it is trivial to get your data in and out of multiple competing services. Depending on a single source, whether in the cloud or locally is never a good idea.
- Ghworg
security is good but it will continue to improve, bandwidth costs continue to decrease
- Don Bonaddio
Yes but when broadband providers whine that they need to charge consumers MORE when these costs are actually decreasing something is wrong.
- TC
Security is adequate provided there is proper implementation, I agree.

Bandwidth is not continuing to decrease actually... Bell Canada *reduced* their bandwidth caps to 75GB for their *most expensive* service... which is why the CRTC should hurt them.

Regarding the SSD, is it really needed to have 128GB as the system disk? Surely 64GB as system disk and 320 or 500GB as the other disk would be just as useful and fast but much cheaper. Does anyone know if Dell does a converter like this?
- tony swales
So great to see this whole group together. In terms of G4 hosting the TechTV video archives, they use Brightcove for their video hosting. My company uses them as well and we pay a hefty flat rate for unlimited transfers and storage. I presume that G4 has the same deal, so they can post as much as they want without incurring any additional expense or having to worry about traffic.

There probably was an HD camera issue. I think it is obvious there was either a tech issue. Has anyone seen the iTouch 3.1.1 firmware?

An iPod touch with camera would be more useful than an iPod nano with camera. Wifi uploading? Bluetooth uploading? I'd not be fussed on synching with a cable to get an image I'd taken earlier in the day up online.

- Chris, Without Direction
This show is awesome!
- Chris
I love the idea of charitywater. How cool is that? I take our well here for granted.
- shelter watch
To use your checking account you still need to sign up for PayPal. If you don't link an account it takes 5 or so days to clear as an eCheck - not so good when you're wanting to pay $10 or so to get access to a live feed on the day it's happening. I was quite happy to just pay using my credit card but because I already had a non-linked account I didn't have the option to just use my credit card - as soon as I put my card billing address it defaulted to using me as a PayPal account.
- 1x29
Shelter: Yeah, I'm well impressed with the Charity Water idea. Their promo video is awesome to watch.

One of the best TWiT's. Loren Feldman as John C. Dvorak, Jason Calacanis as himself, and Ryan Block as Tom Merritt.
- Kevykev
They should record the After Twit conversations and post it as an extra podcast. They could monetize the extra shows. There are a lot of good candid moments afterwards.
- Bryan Lee
love the show, but *way way* too many sponsor ads on this episode:(
- Mark Rahmani
one sponsor per half hour is normal, and this show was over 2 hours... i think that's pretty fair
- Chris Heath
ANOTHER annoying useless Jason Calacanis name dropping episode. And who is this butt-kissing "comic" with him? Jason Calacanis may be a great computer entrepreneur, but he's a lousy interview to listen to for more than 5 mins.
- Gregg Hudson
ANOTHER annoying useless Gregg Hudson comment. And who does he think he is dissing Loren Feldman like that? Gregg Hudson may be a great guy that nobody's ever heard of, but he's a lousy friendfeeder, with only one social connection, and this one lonely comment. ;-P
