Seriously needed! Even just a link would be better than nothing. - Boris Gordon

In general it would be great if FriendFeed would be a full-featured Twitter client. It would remove the feeling of having to choose to be on FriendFeed or on Twitter. Most cool thing would be if FriendFeed could actually make conversation threading for tweets. If a tweet has a in_reply_to id, then it should be shown on FriendFeed as a comment on the original tweet (from perhaps a "virtual" FriendFeed user, if the Twitter user is not on FF), together with all other replies to that tweet. - Meryn Stol

In this scenario, only tweets which do not have in_reply_to id specified would be shown in the user's feeds. The rest would be attached as comments to other people's tweets, and would be shown to subscribers to that user through the regular FF "FoaF" feature. - Meryn Stol

Meryn, I don't think it should be a comment but a link or something to expand under the tweet. A comment would make it very confusing. - Kol Tregaskes

Yeah, which is why the expanded Twitter entry should be included last inside the FF post/comment proper, and clearly delimited as such; e.g. [In response to CNETNews: " Second Life cracks whip on adult content http://tinyurl.com/d39fk7 " http://twitter.com/CNETNew... ] or similar format. - ianf ⌘

Yep, like I say either a link to the 'in-reply-to post' or the ability to expand it under the entry. it definitely shouldn't be a comment or visible initially. - Kol Tregaskes

It wouldn't be a Christian one. - John (bird whisperer)

Well, without any health insurance, you can probably be declared insane. That should do it. - JCunwired

You already pick up health costs in the form of people who show up to the ER because they put off preventable conditions because they don't have health insurance. As someone who already pays those taxes (if you're paying taxes), you'll actually be paying less (or at least have more public monies left to go to things like education) if they get treated earlier and more cheaply. - Spidra Webster

You can live in the Santa Cruz mountains killing squirrels for food and come into town for supplies once in a while. I guess you still have to pay taxes. Nevermind. - Rodfather

@Spidra: don't try to confuse people with logic! - Joe The Sausage

Spidra, the bill actually acts as an inflationary agent, it might be covered but the costs will still rise, it's the exact same thing that happened when the government got involved with subsidizing education, which they also passed in the HCR bill a section that makes it so that the government will be the prime lender. - Jimminy, CoG of FF

@Jimminy: show us what you base this on. - Joe The Sausage

I dunno if it passed, but there was an Amish exemption at one point. - surf guitar

Joe, it is based on economic fact, that because the government makes it more affordable to go to school, demand goes up, as demand goes up supply goes down, so prices go up, every year this happens, and the government increases the amount that they subsidize to keep it affordable. Also, when schools try to add students they don't have room for quality of education goes down. - Jimminy, CoG of FF

"it is based on economic fact," Yes, you can see in single-payer countries how the demand for, say, casts and tumour removals has skyrocketed over time... =P - Andrew C (✓)

Andrew, I wasn't referring directly to the bill, he asked for proof of what I based it on which is the inflation of the education system. Also, this isn't single payer, a single payer is a monopoly, and as such they can put you out of business, if you increase your rates to a point where they do not agree. The US however has never shown any backbone in trying to maintain costs, so it is very likely to spiral upward. - Jimminy, CoG of FF

In St Paul Religious Property are exempt from Property Taxes however assessments for specific services like streets, lighting, plowing etc are legal must be paid based on value of each property. I'm guessing most towns are hip to charging for services not umm taxes so being exempt isn't "really" exempt - WarLord

Though if you think about it, a religion founding to sorta kinda say fuck you society hardly seems a going concern or particularly you know religious - WarLord

"The US however has never shown any backbone in trying to maintain costs" You say that as if American insurers don't squeeze health care providers /all the time/. - Andrew C (✓)

Andrew, sure they squeeze providers, to get their fucking tiny margins, otherwise the institutions that everyone keeps vilifying wouldn't be around, and everything would be out of pocket. If they weren't there, prices would have to come down, otherwise the providers would lose a large amount of money with their current pricing, but expensive operations wouldn't be feasible. - Jimminy, CoG of FF

If the private insurers weren't around, that doesn't mean everything would have to be out of pocket: there are also public insurers _such as Medicare_. Also, seriously, "tiny margins"? The health insurers keep shrinking their medical loss ratios. - Andrew C (✓)

Andrew, the majority of people aren't eligible for public insurers such as Medicare, and there is more ways than one to shrink your MLR, other than squeezing the provider. You know how they do that they manage risk, which results in the dropping of existent issues and rescinding privileges, or they increase the rate of premiums, 2 of those 3 other options are now gone, which result in the primary gap in the MLR, and I'm glad they're gone. - Jimminy, CoG of FF

"the majority of people aren't eligible for public insurers such as Medicare" OK, you're seriously confusing me. On the one hand you're talking about what's happening right now, but on the other you're spinning wild hypotheticals like "what if the insurers were gone". If the private insurers disappeared, society could easily find alternatives besides paying for everything out of pocket. - Andrew C (✓)

Andrew, I like how you're quoting statements that were never made. You stated that insurers squeeze providers, to which I rebutted with the fact that if they weren't here we would be paying out of pocket, and they only make tiny margins. So I didn't just spin a wild hypothetical. What alternative is there besides Out of pocket, Private Insurers, and Socialized Medicine, those are the... more... - Jimminy, CoG of FF

First off, I was paraphrasing with that last bit in quote marks. Now, to rewind a bit: (1) I said insurers squeeze providers as a rebuttal to your claim that the US system does not try to control costs. Let's be real. Insurers attempt to deny claims all the time. (2) I said that if _private_ insurers weren't around, then there would be public insurers, aka socialized medicine, not... more... - Andrew C (✓)

as for the "economic fact" you mentioned much earlier, I would suggest the demand for health care is pretty inelastic and not affected much by subsidies either in the form of widespread insurance or, well, any other form. (And again, you're the one who thought education was a viable analogy for health care; I just wanted to bring this back to actually talking about health care.) - Andrew C (✓)

Andrew, apparently you didn't read, or possibly understand, what I've said. 1)"Lets be real. Insurers attempt to deny claims all the time." I had already stated that, that is were their current margins come from, "...dropping of existent issues and rescinding privileges." 2) "...not only everything would be out of pocket" I agreed that there would be public insurers, but the majority of... more... - Jimminy, CoG of FF

1) again, this goes back to my initially rebutting your claim that the US system does not try to control costs. (edit: ok, denying claims and squeezing providers are two different parts of controlling costs, but still.) (2) Why would public insurers mean "the majority of the system would be left to out of pocket expenses" ? (3) I'll let this one slide. (4) alright, I fundamentally disagree with your description of how medical insurance (or subsidized medical insurance) hurts the middle class. - Andrew C (✓)

Andrew, when I initially made that claim, it was in reference to the government not having any clue as to how to be fiscally responsible, not directly related to health care, just the way the US spends money, they have no clue of what something should cost, so they pay whatever the person demands. 2) Public insurers cannot provide for the costs of catastrophic coverage for all at any... more... - Jimminy, CoG of FF

(2) really? Seems to work fine in Canada. (4) I would say that increasing the risk pool and taking out the adverse selection problems (via the individual mandate) makes health insurance fundamentally more affordable for everyone. Pair that with existing state regulations or new federal ones and I think it will be fine. - Andrew C (✓)

I think maybe if they're popular enough they can get China to change some policy. Of course, it's probably going to end up like Tianamen Square, where the whole world thinks it's great but nobody in China is ever allowed to hear about it and nothing changes. - Gabe

What if this was the plan all along? Increase market share as much as possible then stop censoring results?

Awesome to see the inventor of "do no evil" say that, too :-) - Jesse Stay

Nope but this rocks - my love hate relationship with google swapped over to love today. - Dan owns Comicsforge.com

Google's at 17% or so in China - that's a lot of share to give away (although apparently Yahoo disagrees, but anyway). I suspect a lot of Chinese students who leave China to study won't be using Gmail as their default email address anymore (given that they won't have access when they go home) - Nick Lothian

17% market share in China represents more people than 100% market share in Germany, France and Spain combined. - Kevin Fox

I think there's a lot we're missing. Stop swooning and start thinking. The justification starts with a review of a cyber attack. Presume that is *maybe* the starting point.

Good point Ray. I wonder if Google also cut off their China office from the internal network in order to prevent that? - Paul Buchheit

A country of well over a billion people is not something you want to mess with. Especially in the stance of Google. Googles search business relies solely on numbers. Cutting those people off is a huge gamble. But Google has some crazy stones to do it. - Hunter Clarke

Wow. I hope Google stands firm! - Jay

@Ray - yes, I'd be worried about Chinese Google employees. If you followed the China/Rio Tinto story at all (http://www.nytimes.com/2009...) then you can see a precedent. - Nick Lothian

I predict the government will launch a character assassination campaign and drum up nationalist fervor in the media.

I think what matters today is not speculation about the Chinese gov't response, but how this should be responsibly reported. I hate how we collectively get lost in ooh-aah stuff. - Christopher Galtenberg

I remember reading an Op-ed in a German newspaper over the holidays that argued it was high time to show some backbone vis-a-vis China. On all levels. Not saber-rattling, but backbone. As in: We don't care if it costs us some money. The opposite of what short-term profit motivation has done over the last 15 or so years: Hand them the keys to everything, nearly uncontested...I applaud Google showing some backbone. Maybe this can become a trend. - Alex Schleber

Christopher, at this point, there's not much to report except quote Google's blog post, which is what most outfits are doing. Until someone interviews Google and representatives of the Chinese government, we're in an information vacuum. - Ray Cromwell

Christopher: Fair and Balanced, huh? - Ashwin Bharambe

@Christopher - only approved media outlets are allowed to speculate on the Chinese gov't response or something? The people in this thread know as much (or more) than the media do, so I prefer to hear their opinions. - Nick Lothian

Since we are speculating - I wonder what kind of attack gets access to the subject line of emails but not the contents? - Nick Lothian

Gee guys, overreact away. And I think we should be the ones thinking and writing/reporting, if you read... never mind. - Christopher Galtenberg

I'm not sure worrying about a government crack down is overreacting. I think it's legitimate and prudent to speculate that's going to happen. For some people, this might even have practical fallout: friends or family members working in Google China offices. - Ray Cromwell

Most Chinese repression is happening under the radar, and that's by design. They act like a secretive mega-corporation... they won't do something if it lands them on the front page of the NYT (hurting their bottom line). So consider what they could do that wouldn't really attract attention (because we wouldn't normally focus on it). Most certainly they won't do anything until this story slips out of our attention (36 hours, 30 days, 6 months from now -- it's up to us). - Christopher Galtenberg

Some are reporting that Google sites in China are now blocked. I generally believe they are getting more sophisticated at this, but recall that they cracked down hard on Tibet during the Olympics which was still covered by the media. - Ray Cromwell

Ironic Google recommends everyone putting antivirus products on their computers to defend against these attacks. Not sure about McAfee, but Symantec develops most of its products in China now... Hard pressed to find a bigger security risk than developing security software offshore in a sometimes hostile country. - Ed Millard

I applaude Google's move. However, while I do not like conspiracy theories, I'm suggesting one now. I do not think Google could have made such a bold move without at least consulting US government. What if a hidden agenda of this move is to provoke Chinese government retaliation and is a pretext for a full blown trade war? - ✔ ǝuǝƃnǝ

But why would the government want a trade war? Most of Obama's economics believe that resorting to protectionism/beggar-thy-neighbor policies will just repeat the mistakes of the Great Depression. If anything, given the world economy, most countries want to prevent a tit-for-tat trade war. - Ray Cromwell

It is rarely disputed that protectionism prolonged the Great Depression and yes, apparently Obama's economic team supports this view. But some view it as survivalism, not protectionism. For instance, tariff on tires from China was imposed in September 2009. With 7M jobs lost and no clear way to bring them back, "not made in China" is quite easy populistic approach. With that said, I do not want to steer this thread into the realm of politics and economics. - ✔ ǝuǝƃnǝ

The US can't afford a trade war with China (neither can China, but that's not the point). But I do think the US government wouldn't mind too much if China got the message that their hacking activities are going too far and are too widespread to be accepted any longer. - Nick Lothian

Careful. The people being arrested haxe privacy rights. They're innocent until proven guilty in a court. They can also be coerced by the police into at minimum a lawsuit that might stick, when the false arrest fails. - Alfred C. Ingram

Alfred....the camera does not prove innocence or guilt of a person getting arrested. It just shows the person getting arrested and the cop's conduct. If everything is kosher, there's nothing to worry about. If the cop's conduct is that of a playground bully or scammer, then the camera shows this. The camera is intended to keep all parties truthful and honest. - Ⓐ ☠ slayerboy ☠ Ⓐ

The practical effect of a citizen camera person is to embolden apprehended criminals, and to cow and frustrate police as criminals become like rabid fox news interviewers/provocateurs. Also it is well known flash cameras(to dazzle) +video(stalk, sexualize women police), and such, are more often used to harass and hinder police (especially women police) than to further accountability. If we need cameras install surveillance cams such as in London, in criminal hot-spots, I read they are immensely effective. - Bravid Valour

It is my right to film the police as long as I don't interfere or obstruct them in any way. If fool can film my every action in Times Square (etc) then I'm bloody well gonna film cops if I want to. - guruvan (Rob Nelson)

Cops have tried, in the past, to arrest people standing around to observe their actions (i.e. arresting someone) This is usually shown to be illegal. Occasionally the cops are within their rights because the person filming was "in the way". - guruvan (Rob Nelson)

Exactly, all about responsibility on both sides, cops have the responsibility to act respectfully as do bystanders and videographers. Like I said, two way street. :) - Ⓐ ☠ slayerboy ☠ Ⓐ

Right, and it's my opinion that one of the things that keeps cops respectful of those that they're detaining or arresting is citizens with cameras. The citizens are required (by common decency and sense, in addition to the law) to not interfere, but that is all. The cops film the incidents themselves, where is the harm? - guruvan (Rob Nelson)

It's not appropriate to automatically make everything public. The tapes should be made, but to stream them would violate the rights of innocents. Everyone pays attention to arrests. Exonerations typically don't get posted or paid any attention. - Tinfoil 2.0

LE, while I agree with you to some extent, the reason why I and many other people would prefer to stream in this case is the fact that police will confiscate cell phones and video cameras and DELIBERATELY erase footage. This is why streaming is the better choice if possible. If you are outside or in a public building, nobody has a right to privacy. - Ⓐ ☠ slayerboy ☠ Ⓐ

Sure, stream it if there's an abuse going on, but otherwise leave it to due process. And you are right that there is no expectation of privacy in public, but that's no reason to drive us further into a surveillance state unless the specific situation warrants streaming/capture. - Tinfoil 2.0

once you walk out unto the street nothing is private - just ZONED

Constant surveillance has a chilling effect on many other valued rights. There must be a balance. - Tinfoil 2.0

the surveillance is usually done by individuals, not the government - we choose it directly. - guruvan (Rob Nelson)

and, VAL is right - if you're doing it in public you're fair game - it was not a private acti, and IMO it can be filmed and delivered to interested people. (for profit is another story, however) - guruvan (Rob Nelson)

completely agree, if it's done for profit, that's a whole other issue and I would dissociate myself from a person if they did that because that's completely unethical. - Ⓐ ☠ slayerboy ☠ Ⓐ from IM

What's wrong with doing it for profit? - Gabe

Gabe, doing something that anyone can freely do and that is public to begin with, if someone was trying to make a profit on that, they'd be shunned by society.

LED for sure - mohamadreza

Like you even needed to ask. :) - Scoble, Alex Scoble

LED's are so expensive! I don't know if I've seen one in person, but I'm really happy with my LCD. - Derrick

3D won't work for me, I'm basically blind in one idea so 3D is pointless. - Kol Tregaskes

I'm the same, looking at a 37" Panasonic, Samsung or maybe LG? - Lee

Which LED's are good? - Lee

Toshiba's LED TVs are also good - Scoble, Alex Scoble

Here we go again ;) - Rodfather

I concur...not yet. :) - Scoble, Alex Scoble

I have a LED Samsung Un Series, the BEST HDTV quality I've ever seen ~ there's an argument :) - The Real sofarsoShawn

LED. :) - AJ Batac :)

LED TV is a misnomer; it's really a LCD TV that uses LEDs for the backlight instead of the usual fluorescent tube. LED TVs are thinner, have a longer life, and use up less power, but the image quality is likely similar to that of a regular LCD TV. I'd recommend buying a LCD TV if you want one today (the prices are reasonably low). - Tudor Bosman

LED TVs are not always thinner. This is only true if they are edge lit. LED LCD sets with local dimming will not be appreciably thinner than a CFL lit LCD set. And the difference in PQ between a local dimming LED and CFL lit LCD is sizable. - Scoble, Alex Scoble

(and I'm not getting into a home theater argument with Alex Scoble :) ) - Tudor Bosman

@Tudor right and wrong :) LED is a sub-type of LCD, you're correct in saying they're backlit, but the difference is quality can be quite substantial. via Cnet: http://get.sfu.ca/CJuHDy "An LED TV is actually a kind of LCD TV that uses LEDs, or light-emitting diodes, instead of the standard fluorescent backlight to illuminate the screen. Some LED-based LCD TVs are extremely thin and some... more... - The Real sofarsoShawn

I think I already said that, Shawn. :) - Scoble, Alex Scoble

LOL I'm just minding your P&Q's/CFL's for us layman. And I should add, maybe more expensive, but definitely worth it. - The Real sofarsoShawn

but 1080p is a mark of e-peen! I'm waiting for the first mobile to try claiming "full 1080p HD!" ;0 - alphaxion

Thanks guys, I'll read all your comments later. :-) - Kol Tregaskes

From a person's point of view who watches almost no tv but drools walking into best buy comparing tv's. LED's win hands down...the images just pop out from the screen compared to LCD. LED's are wicked expensive (at least in my area). - Ⓐ ☠ slayerboy ☠ Ⓐ

"...Michael Jordan look-alike hired ..." ---of course this is a limited hangout fake scandal story, to distract of the growing evidence, that the 9/11 TV Fakery facts had been used to distract from the evidence, that Directed Energy Weapons [+x + tesla-x] had been used on sep 11, 2001, to disintegrate the Twin Towers [and possibly also WTC7 ++].

Ewing "discrepancy videos" were the poisoned root of the TV Fakery Hangout. Different footage was taken from different buildings, making some buildings seem "out of place" compared to others. This was supposed to show "fakery" instead of Parallax. Parallax is real. "TV Fakery "Discrepancies" are false and fake and led folks down a toxic rabbithole. - Rosalee Grable

nope that was the only real PR ; - ewing2001akaNicomedy2010

actually you have to lay out, where parallax took place, since you mingle up too many different points into one conclusion. Hey then again, Jim Fetzer also never cared about Staticagenda ; - ewing2001akaNicomedy2010

false fake tv fakery fakerism was pioneered by "NICO>" The WORST foul lying wrong conclusions were first "established" by NICO's "PR" lying agenda to discredit WESCAM research. Simon Shack just took Nico's falsehoods a little farther. YougeneDebs youtube Parallax 4U shows what is real. - Rosalee Grable

PARALLAX 4U http://www.youtube.com/watch... - heavyplastic

I disagree, YougeneDeds indirectly proves, that instead of cameramen, GPS points had been used for the tv fraud. - ewing2001akaNicomedy2010

The only "TV Fraud" is TV Fakery Fakers imagining moving bridges etc. - Rosalee Grable

i never pushed the moving bridges. try keyword search. Merging tv- and video fakery elements in unscientific way was Fetzer Fanclub Sloppery. - ewing2001akaNicomedy2010

http://www.youtube.com/user... yougenedebs is extremely precice, and unconnected to Fetzer, me, or anybody else. He is simply right. Nico's "TV Fakery": was a false, fake smear against No Planes and WESCAM - Rosalee Grable

I absolutely respect YougeneDebs' work, though he never gave a conclusion, why his visual work completely backs up my argument, that a military application, most likely related to Future Combat System, was used with multiple geospatial GPS points, to fake the second hit [which is the only definition of tv fakery i ever accepted and not yours or Fetzer's gibberish, neither ongoing video... more... - ewing2001akaNicomedy2010

The original definition of "noPlanes" still only refers to physical evidence. Once again you mingling up things in unscientific ways. - ewing2001akaNicomedy2010

physical evidence - real planes don't fly through buildings. This is scientific. - Rosalee Grable

Flight simulator used gps coordinates to make "planes" to add to pre-planned footage. - Rosalee Grable

it is unscientific from a media scientific point, to still confuse tv fabrications with logical physical evidence. Your hegelian dialectic is a disaster. And since Flight simulators are not as flexible as a geospatial warez, it doesnt make sense they had been used live for 9/11 at all. I prefer the punching ball thesis with FCS. Camera spots had been GPS-video mirrored [or even EGNOsed/... more... - ewing2001akaNicomedy2010

All the evidence of a "TV Fakery Platform" has fallen apart and/or been used as an excuse for calling real things fake. - Rosalee Grable

Nope, it was pushed onto a different avenue, where i agree with you, which stalled the facts around DEW+ x/Tesla weaponry and therefore mostly attracted apolitical, faceless geeks, half spookers, ignorants and worse. I furthermore never was part of the hyperfake-IS-all gang, but educated for the future about VR, MR and AR. I reject the current talking points of Shack and co. and have nothing to do with this. - ewing2001akaNicomedy2010

"it is unscientific from a media scientific point, to still confuse tv fabrications with logical physical evidence. " TV fabrications *are physical evidence. - Marg Uerite

Depends how u define "physical" and 'hardware'. I distinguish furthermore between product and producer. I think i am more detailed than the general media science gibber ; - ewing2001akaNicomedy2010

Well, people with a functioning brain wouldn't have any trouble understanding what Nico is saying (most of the time that is!) - heavyplastic
