is he missing or is he just hiding out? - geoff hines
Iran is arresting scores of journalists and bloggers. This image deserves the Pulitzer Prize and still is the iconic image of the protests. - Robert Scoble
Geoff: since he openly identified himself on friendfeed I imagine he's missing. - Robert Scoble
Geoff: but I hope he's just hiding out. - Robert Scoble
Wow. that photo i epic. It deserves mass recognition for sure! - Adam Jackson
Adam: it's the cover of Life Magazine this week. I've seen thousands of images and it still is the iconic image of the protests for me. - Robert Scoble
His website, http://tehranlive.org , was banned in Iran on Saturday but he still showed up here on FriendFeed after that. Anyone with information about Amir please post here. - Robert Scoble
I've said the same ever since I first saw it. Women are the key to the moral case of the greens. Incredibly brave women - Richard Drake

This was recently posted on the about section of of his website http://tehranlive.org/about/ "Hello freedom fighters I got an email from one of his loved ones, Amir and some friends did not return last night and were arrested.

Robert, thanks so much for popularizing this story. I agree that this photo is the equivalent of the Tiannemen photo.

@Robert The courage of Amir and his fellow compatriots is incredible. Lets hope he is safe. Our staff (AFP) are shut in their bureau unable to move and its thanks to people like Amir that the world is aware of whats going on - Jon Dillon
Misha: the regime in Iran is brutal. Jon: one of my favorite quotes from when I was a photojournalism student is Robert Capa's "If your pictures aren't good enough, you're not close enough." Amir got close enough. It should be noted that Capa died when he got too close to a mine. Amir, it seems, got too close too. Journalists who put their lives in danger to bring us the news are heroes. If you ever are in Washington DC, go and visit the Newseum. You'll see just how many have died to bring us the news. - Robert Scoble

Anita: there are dozens of journalists and bloggers in jail. Amir took the iconic image of the protests and now is the iconic leader of those who are in jail. I hope I am able to shake his hand someday. He is a hero to me. It is why I carry my camera almost everywhere. Today I will write Amir on my Canon 5D. I hope I have 1/1000th as much courage as he did making this image. I will probably come up short of even that low bar. - Robert Scoble

NYT to Release Thesaurus and Enter Linked Data Cloud - Open Blog - NYTimes.com
For nearly 100 years, we have maintained a thesaurus to tag The New York Times. The thesaurus consists of over a million terms organized into five controlled vocabularies: subjects, personal names, organizations, geographic locations and the titles of creative works (books, movies, plays, etc). At last week’s Semantic Technology Conference, we announced our intention to publish The New York Times thesaurus under a license that will allow the community to both use it and contribute back to it. The results will, in time, prepare The Times to enter the linked data cloud. - Eric Logan from Bookmarklet

These pics are almost enough to interest me in tennis. - Robert Hafer
Maybe I will go to Wimbledon this year, afterall. - Zach Landes
Sorry, I'm unsubbing from the two groups, I must have gotten the wrong idea with the tennis and sports talk group. :-( - Kol Tregaskes
I'm not that impressed - chrisofspades
Wait - SURELY there's a beautiful men group on here somewhere! If not, let me know so I can go create one. Everyone knows men look better. LOL (no seriously men look better) - Jannifer @wordsforliving
I wasn't expecting that reaction Kol. What is so wrong about it? - Alejandro
sheesh kol.... ?? what's so bothersome about it? Just trying to understand you know.. :o/ - Rob Sellen :o)
The images are completely off topic to the two sports groups, simple as this. Post the pics to the other group, post the news to the two sports groups. - Kol Tregaskes
Kol... why do you take it so serious? THAT is what I am trying to understand... I can obviously see its not exactly them in tennis clothes with a racquet in hand... ;o) - Rob Sellen :o)
I have nothing more to say, see my comments above. - Kol Tregaskes
That's it! I definitely should create a beautiful/awesome men group! - Jannifer @wordsforliving
I am just trying to understand the logic that's all mate. Seems you want EVERY single image or post to be 100% on topic? if not why unsub just cos of one post? - Rob Sellen :o)
Correct. Unsubbed? Because I still see this entry. ;-) - Kol Tregaskes
hhmmm... just thinking you know.. I am NOT subbed to this, I just saw it.. but you still saw it, so why bother unsubbing just cos of one image post? if you still see it anyway lol.. and, you are bound to have to have the odd off topicish post.. else it gets boring... - Rob Sellen :o)
I don't know how to explain it any simpler, Rob, sorry. I subbed to two sports groups expecting to see sports-related entries, then I get this! I see your replies, if that's what you mean, because of the notifier. - Kol Tregaskes
No.. I mean, yeah this still pops up if someone comments, so why unsub, I mean, then you miss out on the real ON topic stuff from any rooms etc. This is one of the funny things about this place you know. ;o) - Rob Sellen :o)
Like wouldn't it just be better to hide the off topic stuff? - Rob Sellen :o)
Because I fear the two groups will be misused again of course. :-( - Kol Tregaskes
Well.. UNTIL that happens..you just roll with it eh mate. thing is, it may not ;o) - Rob Sellen :o)
Sorry, admins should step in here + the poster should correct the error too but I see neither atm. - Kol Tregaskes
why its not SO off topic.. that's the point.. I mean, if it was pics of say paris hilton..yeah that IS way off topic. ;o) really you ought not to take it all so serious mate. ;o) - Rob Sellen :o)
For what it's worth, I encourage more of this type of group misuse. ;-) - Andrew
lmao @ Andrew.. if its like this...hmmmmm.. ;o) - Rob Sellen :o)
Well there you go, thanks Andrew, I won't be subbing back. - Kol Tregaskes
lol.. lighten up kol... its harmless.... you know didn't one of them pics at least put a smile on your face? - Rob Sellen :o)
There was no error, so I have nothing to correct. I'll make sure any of my shares to your groups have no images from now on, Kol. And if you don't want to see this entry anymore, you are gonna have hide me. I have no idea why you reacted like this. It was just for fun. - Alejandro
Images are fine, unrelated images are not. It's up to you, Alejandro though but it's pretty easy to have two separate entries for the two types of images. Oh well. :-( - Kol Tregaskes
In a way Kol... you will have to STICK rules up if you want things to run exactly how you want them in your rooms... but in others you will have to lighten up a bit and not take them so seriously. its silly lol :o) - Rob Sellen :o)
they ARE related.. they are sports players. ;o) - Rob Sellen :o)
I do, see the group descriptions. - Kol Tregaskes
so these are both your groups? - Rob Sellen :o)
These two are not. If they were I would have corrected this entry, sorry hiding now and please stop telling me to lighten up, Rob, it has nothing to do with that. - Kol Tregaskes
Well I asked cos you say the "admin" should correct it... so now you are telling others how to run their groups? :o/ YES you should lighten up mate IMO...it seems to be so trivial.. - Rob Sellen :o)
sorry, no offence, I just tried to understand your reasoning... - Rob Sellen :o)
Alejandro... I am disappointed in you.... you had to wait for an excuse to share them with us??? wtf? sort it out lol ;o) - Rob Sellen :o)
hehe ;) - Alejandro
Don't do it again.....selfish and cruel keeping us hanging on like that! ;o) - Rob Sellen :o)

Stunning pictures of 'hole in the clouds' as astronauts witness volcano eruption from the International Space Station
Show all
A chance recording by astronauts on the International Space Station has captured the moment a volcano explosively erupted, sending massive shockwaves through the atmosphere. Sarychev Peak, one of the most active volcanoes in the world, had been sitting quietly in the Kuril Island chain near Japan for 20 years, when it suddenly sprang to life on June 12. Fortuitously, the International Space Station was flying overhead at the time, and managed to capture this spectacular image of the ash-cloud tearing through the atmosphere, sending clouds scattering in its wake in a perfect circle. The station, which orbits the earth from a height of 220 miles, makes nearly 16 orbits of our planet every 24 hours, and happened to be in the perfect spot to see the dramatic eruption. The unique images have provided a wealth of new information about the eruption process, and volcanologists are now excitedly poring over the data. Most unique is the mist-like 'roof' to the cloud, believed to be either steam... more... - Emma from Bookmarklet

Google’s Android comes of age with a powerful handset, Flash support and more – The Next Web
"Google’s Android mobile operating system finally showed its hand as a serious competitor to the iPhone today." - Martin Bryant from Bookmarklet
I welcome all new developments in the field of mobile computing, and this certainly looks better than previous iterations of the Android OS. Interestingly enough, the Orange UK video doesn't tout Flash capability, nor, indeed, much of Android either. Perhaps we should withhold the judgement until the first user reports complaining of bulk –this thing looks thick– and battery-eating Flash appear? - ianf ⌘
No keyboard but wow that is a great looking phone. My Blackberry love is waning. - Tony
i've been thinking about getting another htc but maybe i'll wait now...that is a seriously good looking phone. - Fazloe
provided I could get the phone unlocked for the US and find a plan that offers cheap tethering, I'd consider trading my iPhone for it - Arvin Dang from BuddyFeed
Interesting. But screw 'em for including Flash. The only possible good thing about flash on mobile is the distantly remote chance that memory saving techniques might feed back into the desktop version. - Andy Bold
I would much rather see a phone support HTML5 more than flash, since HTML5 will replace flash soon. - Wizetux
HTML5 has yet to be finalized, whereas phone manufacturers have to get their wares out now, not when W3 deems it stable and mature enough for them to invest in a brand new parser/renderer (latest editor draft http://w3.org/html/wg/html5/ says out right: "Different parts of this specification are at different levels of maturity.") Hence the Flash, fat good it'll do them. - ianf ⌘

Great writeup Steven. Facebook is sitting on top of a veritable gold mine that they have yet to tap. They drilled their test hole with Beacon a few years back and had to reset things, but I think it's only a matter of time before they turn on an evolutionary affinity-based model building on the reputation/trust networks that are reflected in one's social graph. I think there's serious $$$ to be extracted by FB and it has the potential to make AdSense obsolete/irrelevant. Fascinating stuff. - Brian Daniel Eisenberg
@Brian the turning point for my thoughts on the matter were the two posts I quoted from in mine. I'm not sure I like the idea an AOLesque locked garden of data that is Facebook.

Looking for a primary back-up drive. Opinions welcome. - Rob Michael (Atmos Trio) from Bookmarklet
Thanks Jason--that's the kind of feedback I'm looking for. - Rob Michael (Atmos Trio)
The Studio Edition drives have a 5 year warranty, which is PRICELESS. However, if you're going RAID striped, you run a huge risk of data loss. I had a 'dual disk' external once: one drive fails, both drives useless. - mike fabio
all depends on how much space you're needing, I go with RAID1 or better, look for durablity & the performance tests. It's now wholly about the throughput of the line, as much as the throughput of the bus & disks. I've had good success with tthese, which I use on windows, osx & linux http://eshop.macsales.com/shop... - clarke thomas
Thanks Clarke--that's in the running for sure. - Rob Michael (Atmos Trio)
here are the RAID1 variety, http://eshop.macsales.com/shop... - clarke thomas
though, personally I use Drobo; because it's the closest to an enterprise system at a much lower cost - clarke thomas
I have one of these and I like it. I wrote a review a while back: http://www.raoulpop.com/2008.... Fwiw, I also have three Drobos, and I like them a lot as well. - Raoul Pop
Use the studio on our, wait for it, studio PC. Solid device but the essential series are good too. Plus shiny. - Eric @ CSTechcast.com
Thanks Raoul--tha't super-helpful! Eric: shiny is nice too. ;-) - Rob Michael (Atmos Trio)
Been using one of these for about a year and a half. I'd recommend one. - Parth Awasthi
I don't have as much to backup so I use the smaller passport series of drives along with SyncBac (windows only I think) which syncs the stuff on my laptop that I wanted backedup to the external drive. - Bill Rawlinson
Thx Bill--considering a Passport for mobile purposes. - Rob Michael (Atmos Trio)
I love my passport.. it's amazing how small and light it is and still holds 450GB.. but check this out if you have any odd behaviour on your second computer: http://cf-bill.blogspot.com/2009... - Bill Rawlinson
I'm going for it! - Rob Michael (Atmos Trio)
Yup I like the two WD's as well I have one of the larger and one passport sized. - Mathew A. Koeneker
I have a WD Passport and it's great. I just wish I had went with FireWire. - Akiva Moskovitz
This got good reviews. I almost went with it but decided on a home NAS strategy instead. - jcunwired
I have 4 WD drives. 350 to 750 gigs. Never had a problem with any of them. Ever. Actually, you wanna buy one of mine? I don't need 4 anymore! :-) - Morgan Haley
Thanks for the input. (and offers @Morgan) Awaiting delivery now!! - Rob Michael (Atmos Trio)
I'll send the tracking number when it's available. It starts with 'CASHMONEE' followed by a bunch of numbers, or something like that.... - Morgan Haley
Just took deliver today. - Rob Michael (Atmos Trio)
I have a 1 TB WD MyBook (firewire/usb) connected to my MBP and been doing fine by it. - Micah Wittman
The undulating light on the front of this thing is pretty groovy. I'm a little embarrassed by how mesmerized I am by it. - Rob Michael (Atmos Trio)
All I have to say is don't do Maxtor if you can avoid it. I'm actually surprised my two OneTouches are still alive, but I had a 250GB Maxtor which died and I have a pile of HDDs that died over the years that I decided to start wiping entirely -- only the Maxtors in the bunch do not spin up at all. I have no idea how I'm going to wipe my old data on those - maybe sledgehammer... - Tamar Weinberg
I seem to remember putting a Maxtor drive in my desktop: so far, so good--but doing a massive backup--hopefully, I'm good! - Rob Michael (Atmos Trio)

Apple iPhone Broadcasts To 500,000 Viewers On Ustream: Bigger Than Cable News
"About 500,000 total people watched Apple (AAPL) announce the iPhone 3GS over live-streaming site Ustream. Those viewers spent an average of around 15 minutes watching 20 or so different Ustream feeds. Each feed featured a lay-over ad by default. Those numbers completely blow us away. Consider that during the week of June 1, Comedy Central drew 523,000 viewers during any given hour. Last we checked, Fox Business claims something like 6,000 simultaneous viewers. CNBC's Jim Cramer draws 300,000 on a good night." - Brad Williamson from Bookmarklet

I listened to a UStreamer's feed and followed the Macrumors.com live blog. The light was too low for good video. - Joel Zehring
Apple should just stream the events already... - Joshua Schnell
you cant stream the reality distortion field ;) - alex
+1 alex - Tim Ostler
I'm not really surprised - though at the time we thought we were watching the only stream from inside. By the end, our beleaguered - considering some of the complaints the poor guy had to put up with - streamer had about 20,000 people watching his stream. Thanks, Steve - you know who you are. - MaryB, BrandingBroadOfFF
Do you know which streaming server software are they using? - Gokcen Karan
I was watching it then I dropped it cause it kept going in and out but then I got to watch it as TWIT was streaming it to me through their stream. It was stream within a stream! - Mathew™ one of a kind

Reserved! 32GB #apple #iphone 3G[S] Black - #ATT told me I they would graciously provide me with an Early Upgrade, for a $200 fee on top of what new customers would pay... $499, but I'm a sucker like that I suppose 'cause the first gen was in hand on day two at 0800. Fingers crossed for another rebate :-)

Thanks @virginamerica 4 another wifi flight! Love @jetblue, but wifi is game changer--3 VA flight week! http://www.mahalo.com/virgin-...
you should nail VA down as an advertiser since so many of you (and many other tech people) are doing free marketing for their product - Brandon Weir
Why should VA pay for advertising? They're getting it anyway. - Leo Laporte
+1000 Leo - bingo! - Susan Beebe
true but they have to see the value that Kevin, Jason, Alex and others are bring to their product by talking about it on each flight they go and might want to just make sure they continue to do so as other companies begin to roll this out on their flights as well. - Brandon Weir
Jason gives away advertising all the time. Everyone does it. You like something, you talk about it. Calacanis is just more vocal about it. - Jimmy Johnson
Calacanis is INCREDIBLE at it. Just listen to him moan about Audible. One of the reasons he rules. He doesn't need $$ to share his opinion about products, positive or negative. - Austin Yun
