It's all opt in, you decide what you want to share, it isn't as big of a deal as I first thought with concerns of privacy really

Really want a FitBit
- Caleb Elston
I think I need to take a screen cap of this. No Johnny W liking a TWiT post. Hmmm he must be busy today. lol
- Bill Heslin
Wow. IRC is so crazy. I think the story of the decade is surely mobile and email. The iPhone's popularity is huge for this. Google too.
- Elliot Christenson
Leo busy FF room today. Hey everyone!
- Bill Heslin
Hey Bill!
- Caleb Elston
Hi Caleb
- Bill Heslin
Scoble are you going to talk about TSA restrictions on electronics on plane?
- Peter Trussell
Maybe
- Robert Scoble
Really excited by Square, could really shake up the payments space. PayPal for the real world.
- Caleb Elston
and PayPal sucks lol
- Jay Neff
here we go. iSlate lol
- Caleb Elston
boy if Apple doesn't deliver they are in trouble
- Kim Landwehr
Tablets haven't worked that well in the market, so it makes sense that they'd call it a slate instead of a tablet.
- Jeff Harbert
@Kim, yeah- I actually just sold the rest of my AAPL stock.
- Caleb Elston
All time high, taking profits. Will buy back in a month or so
- Caleb Elston
@Caleb, wish I had AAPL stock to buy and sale (:
- Kim Landwehr
@Kim not really much stock just about 25 shares
- Caleb Elston
The tea leaves for iSlate is the brand new iTunesLP creation tools. All HTML, CSS, Javascript
- Caleb Elston
So where do you guys discover the majority of your technews? (besides TWIT :)
- Caleb Elston
Caleb - Lifehacker, MakeUseOf, MaximumPC, Twitter.
- Jeff Harbert
@Caleb - Digg, The Register, Twitter...
- Andrew
@Jeff cool, so no aggregators really?
- Caleb Elston
@Andrew Do you do much filtering on Digg? Just the tech areas for instance?
- Caleb Elston
Yeah the Tech page is set as my starting point.
- Andrew
@Caleb, No, I don't like aggregators. Even for blogs, things like Google Reader and Bloglines annoy me.
- Jeff Harbert
@Caleb - One exception to that is Popurls. That one's handy.
- Jeff Harbert
@Jeff Interesting. Is there something in particular about them you dislike?
- Caleb Elston
Yeah I barely look at Google Reader any more, it's just like a huge inbox you have to crawl through now.
- Andrew
@Caleb - Readers don't give me blog comments, for one. I also find that the look and feel of a website will help me remember where I first read something. Blog themes are also usually stripped out and made homogenous by readers. Don't care for that.
- Jeff Harbert
can someone post the links to the #twitdecade videos leo plays
- Andrew Euell
this guy is annoying
- Mark
news producer guy
- Mark
I've gotten nearly all my breaking news this year from Twitter.
- Jeff Harbert
I learned about Twitter on TWiT. TechTV and it's spawn are one important story of the decade.
- Jason R
Twitter definitely provides most of the news/links that I click on. I prefer the layout/design of Original Signal to Popurls, just a shame it seems to have been abandoned. Only annoyance is no way to turn off the popups when you hover on a link.
- Andrew
"we have some deep integrations coming with a bunch of different players and big announcements coming up" --Kevin Rose on TWiT
- Andrew Euell
anyone know if traffic on digg.com is still growing?
- Mark
I think the fire alarm is starting to beep more frequently...
- Andrew
Story of the decade is REALLY TWIT. I agree with Jason Robertshaw. I learned of Twitter on TWIT.
- Elliot Christenson
those glasses dont suit her
- Mark
I agree with her comment. (Now I just need a piece of inexpensive hardware to switch between USB webcams.)
- Jeff Harbert
I like my Zi8, but the EIS could be better.
- Jeff Harbert
haha! 640x480
- Andrew Euell
I had a cheap HP camera back in the day. Utter crap.
- Jeff Harbert
Heh, my mom had the Sony Mavica! :)
- Ken Wiesner
My last employer had a floppy-drive Mavica.
- Jeff Harbert
we had a mavica for a trip to vegas with the family. BACKUPS could be a story of the decade. Digital is now practical because of BACKUPS.
- Elliot Christenson
I know Carbonite is a sponsor but I gotta say their product for Mac really sucks. It doesn't backup video automatically! You have to manually select video files to backup. I switched to Backblaze. We should try to get them as a TWiT Sponsor!
- Ken Wiesner
Am I the only one that thinks location services like Foursquare are dumb?
- Jeff Harbert
@Jeff hate to disagree, but I think location is actually a core element to be shared. Just like Photos, Video, Text...location is next.
- Caleb Elston
@Caleb - but it's so transitory. So I check in at a bar - I won't be there an hour later.
- Jeff Harbert
People recommend you for the "Crunk" badge. :)
- Ken Wiesner
@Jeff that's true, but tweets are similarly ephemeral, but we now have much better realtime alerting systems so you can actually know about that right away.
- Caleb Elston
@Caleb - And it also does me no good to know where anyone non-local to me is. Scoble is having dinner at the Ritz - I'm across the country, so what use is that to me?
- Jeff Harbert
@Jeff, bingo - and if you're in a small town, who cares that you just popped down to the gas station in your pyjamas?
- Andrew
@Jeff that might be true for Robert, since you don't really know him, but if it were your son or brother it might be interesting, a conversation starter for the next time you speak.
- Caleb Elston
@Andrew - Exactly, which is why I think these services are dumb.
- Jeff Harbert
@Caleb - I'm actually acquainted with Robert. It still does me no good to know he's having dinner at the Ritz because he's nowhere near me.
- Jeff Harbert
@Jeff Touche haha
- Caleb Elston
Love Amazon Prime.
- Jeff Harbert
I love how the book store guy is kicking everyone's ass in the cloud space. :)
- Ken Wiesner
Bezos is a force of nature in business.
- Jeff Harbert

- Jeff Harbert
Leo is dropping comments about his wealth alot lately
- Mark
@Mark I think Leo is very pleased and confident about the success of TWiT.
- Jeff Harbert
best ad transition to date
- Andrew Euell
Pet peeve - that's navigation, not GPS.
- Jeff Harbert
A TWiT conversation is going to hit best of day. It's been awhile. Love it...
- Bill Heslin
Automatic parallel parking is a joke. If you can't drive, don't drive.
- Jeff Harbert
I love that electric vehicle thing! That would be so cool! And I cannot wait to become popular P:
- Zachary TG
Fully automated cars would be cool though. Real life savers, since most people don't know how to drive safely.
- Jeff Harbert
Robert's is right Microsoft is just not cool anymore
- Kim Landwehr
I'd still like to have a full computer in my car.
- Jeff Harbert
Doesn't the decade begin in January 1st, 2011?
- Héctor
Dave Winer and RSS , Scoble names his child after RSS ...I may have to unblock you Robert...lol
- Bill Heslin
@Héctor - Leo mentioned that in yesterday's TWiG. He said he'd rather get a little email from correct listeners like you than wait a year and get 10x more from people who think it begins 1-1-10.
- Jeff Harbert
Correct. I remember arguing about it 10 years ago, but this time around I don't feel like nitpicking for that same exact reason. Sounds like a good plan.
- Héctor
I don't like the iPhone. I need a real keyboard.
- Jeff Harbert
Thinking of getting a Droid to replace my Blackberry in Sept when my current cell contract is up for renewal.
- Jeff Harbert
Yeah I'm going to drop my BlackBerry Storm - was such a disappointment.
- Andrew
Night all
- Caleb Elston
Electric vehicles will fit 95% of everyone's vehicle needs. Yes, you will need a second vehicle.
- Jeff Harbert
Sorry, it's the public holiday here in Oz for Boxing Day... I just woke up and I'm now going for a swim...
- Johnny Worthington
from iPhone
Later Caleb!
- Jeff Harbert
Hey Johnny...Was wondering where you were...Enjoy your day!
- Bill Heslin
Please stop thinking that electric cars will 100% replace normal cars.
- Jeff Harbert
And btw, good old lead-acid batteries are just fine for electric cars. We don't need a battery breakthrough.
- Jeff Harbert
Thank goodness for holidays - this is the first time I've been able to watch TWiT live, as it's after midday Monday in NZ. Although luckily TWiG falls on Sunday here. :)
- Andrew
audible = DRM = FAIl
- Mark
hey you know how audible uses DRM, how does that work on a CD since a CD doesn't support digital copy protection does it?
- Mark
(you can burn audible to cd)
- Mark
If you think about it most people spend most of their time driving to and from work and around town, a perfect use for electric vehicles
- Kim Landwehr
"earthy crunchy" --Leo Laporte on Kevin Rose
- Andrew Euell
@Kim - Exactly. We don't need 350 mile range. 80 is more than enough for most people.
- Jeff Harbert
you DO WANT Rackspace as a sponsor, trust me
- Mark
(they are very generous)
- Mark
Esp when Rackspace goes down and takes half the internet with it. Three times now? Or is it only twice?
- Jeff Harbert
meh every host goes down
- Mark
99.99% uptime
- Mark
@Mark - kills the "cloud" argument though. How can a cloud go down?
- Jeff Harbert
well if someone unplugs the power for computers in the cloud i guess
- Mark
What kind of plasma?
- Jason R
If that's the case, Rackspace needs to restrict access to their power cords. ;)
- Jeff Harbert
gotta agree on the HD
- Kim Landwehr
there are a whole bunch of weather/technology metaphors yet to be exploited with this whole "cloud" thing
- Andrew Euell
HD really has made web video in particular much more enjoyable.
- Jeff Harbert
giant women have never been so attractive
- Andrew Euell
has a DVD screener leaked yet hehe
- Mark
Blogs aren't history, they've become enhancements & supplements to videos and tweets.
- Jeff Harbert
I like that comment by Leo - why pigeonhole it? It's all content.
- Jeff Harbert
Yay. Dr. Kiki rocks
- Bill Heslin
"tough ass particle" --Leo Laporte on the Higgs Boson
- Andrew Euell
great - I could understand all of the previous video vignette's except the bio-tech one ;)
- bear (aka Mike Taylor)
....and an overpolluted planet with 15 billion people. Something to look forward to.
- Jeff Harbert
aging a disease? Cure that, that would b awesome
- Bill Heslin
what about a cure for sleep, free of side effects of course
- Andrew Euell
@Andrew - or just make sleep more effective. I'd love to get by on 3-4 hours per night.
- Jeff Harbert
Biggest story of the decade - social media. It changed the societal consciousness.
- echostreamer
it's not Facebook per se, but rather the ability of any company to connect that many people on the internet: Orkut, Twitter, Google Groups, etc
- bear (aka Mike Taylor)

- Zachary TG
Fun show, guys.
- Jeff Harbert
Great show, long live TWiT!

Why is the Tricaster such a POS???
- Ken Wiesner
Leo thank you for another great year....Peace to you and your family...Have a GREAT New Year. We'll B Here!!!!
- Bill Heslin
I noticed on the TWiT youtube channel, Windows Weekly is watched 5-6 times more than the other shows
- Mark
As it should b Mark. it's a great show... :)
- Bill Heslin
Windows Weekly is 12500+ per show. TWiT the flagship is 2 or 3000
- Mark
The different shows all have different user/viewer profiles for live, re-run, download and now youtube. It's amazing to see the variances
- bear (aka Mike Taylor)
The fact that @parislemon is checking his FriendFeed in real time the day after Christmas shows how dedicated he is. Or something. :-)
Jason Huebel, Mona Nomura, Anthony Farrior and 9 other people liked this
Dedication or maybe bored?
- Owen Greaves
it shows that twitter is a parasite on Friendfeed
- Steve Gillmor
ha ha
- MG Siegler
Well, I was just thinking about how cool it is that not many people other than MG are on here, which makes it a great back channel.
- Robert Scoble
i said i'd start using again once tweets went real time again. they have, so here i am. still would love to see more conversation like the old days though.
- MG Siegler
mg that wont happen - especially since ff is now thought of as a facebook testing ground
- Allen Stern
FF is a mine field for FaceBook : )
- Owen Greaves
Yeah, I don't think that will happen, Allen is right as he usually is. But we can get a few thousand people to participate in threads here thanks to Twitter. The thing is, why would I push traffic here instead of over to my Facebook page or, even better, my blog? (and same for Techcrunch?)
- Robert Scoble
yeah i have my doubts too. still love the tech and the execution.
- MG Siegler
agree - the tech here is quite amazing -- too bad the concept of this becoming the new forum never happened :(
- Allen Stern
Owen: all Facebook would have to do is add real time comments and real time search and then FriendFeed has no reason for being other than my brother's posts. :-)
- Robert Scoble
this isn't about traffic, kids
- Steve Gillmor
yeah there were some cool things they could have done with that robert. too bad.
- MG Siegler
Robert: Yes, the questions in my head is...why hasn't that happened?
- Owen Greaves
Steve: right. It's a good back channel. Maybe we should keep quiet and just use it for that? The masses are asses, my history teacher used to say. I think I'm starting to agree with AJKeen and that's freaking me out.
- Robert Scoble
Owen: it takes a while to make shit work on systems for 350 million people. Plus, if you were the FriendFeed team wouldn't you want to do that AND something else mind blowing? I would.
- Robert Scoble
this is public robert. not a back channel
- Steve Gillmor
crap this is public? i'm outta here again.
- MG Siegler
Steve: if there's no public here it's not much more than a back channel.
- Robert Scoble
robert - for all intents and purposes ff has always been a back channel - just look how intimate people have been since the launch
- Allen Stern
right allen
- Steve Gillmor
If a tree falls in FriendFeed and only the people participating in this thread hear it fall did it really fall?
- Robert Scoble
Robert: I'm not suggesting its easy or quick but they do know what to do and it has been awhile. I'm thinking its coming, something mind blowing I'm not sure.
- Owen Greaves
Owen: well, I'm sure we'll hear more about Facebook's plans soon. Probably on the Gillmor Gang.
- Robert Scoble
Robert: Nice shameless plug :)
- Owen Greaves
this is the Gillmor Gang
- Steve Gillmor
Steve: Good Call! LOL!
- Owen Greaves
Steve: heheh. Except with a micro audience. :-)
- Robert Scoble
It's a public. there are many publics http://bit.ly/publics
- Kevin Marks
Steve: Us Canadians are probably too polite to be on the Gilmour Gang : ) J/K
- Owen Greaves
I do love the quality of the people who are showing up on this thread.
- Robert Scoble
Maybe my strategy of pissing off people on FriendFeed who like cat photos and other inane stuff is working. :-)
- Robert Scoble
Robert: The only good cat is a dead cat!
- Owen Greaves
it's like the old band is getting back together
- MG Siegler
listening to stereo mix of Abbey Road
- Steve Gillmor
Owen: +1 :-) MG: yeah.
- Robert Scoble
Steve, you better hide your cats...
- Cliff Gerrish
Old times Good times :)
- Johni Fisher
I'm listening to the rain on the roof. Reminds me to start up Spotify.
- Robert Scoble
Steve: Memory Lane....oh no sorry that's Abbey Road : )
- Owen Greaves
they all rain out on She's So Heavy
- Steve Gillmor
Johni: thanks for the call yesterday!
- Robert Scoble
MG you going to CES? Is anyone on this thread going?
- Robert Scoble
i'm not planning on it, no.
- MG Siegler
Lucky you.
- Robert Scoble
robert - i got my full pass the other day in the mail - sadly i am not going - i wish i could give the pass to someone who wants to go but the docs say thats not possible
- Allen Stern
Robert: I'm not, but I might go to Wal-Mart : )
- Owen Greaves
My pleasure Robert
- Johni Fisher
although i am receiving like 20 emails a day from pr firms who think i will be there :)
- Allen Stern
How about Macworld. Who is going to Macworld?
- Steven (optionshiftk)
Wal-Mart is probably more fun.
- Robert Scoble
Robert: Ya, if you like low level thinkers
- Owen Greaves
Steven: no. I might crash the big iSlate event, though. It would be fun to see Apple PR turn me away.
- Robert Scoble
I'll get MG to film that.
- Robert Scoble
robert if they throw you out, just tell them you will complain on twitter - apparently this worked for someone with an issue with whirlpool
- Allen Stern
hehe :)
- Steven (optionshiftk)
Allen: Apple is going to be the last company standing that doesn't care about Twitter and what anyone thinks there.
- Robert Scoble
I complained about Best Buy Canada and best BUy USA was all over me : )
- Owen Greaves
agree
- Allen Stern
Of course, if I really wanted a scoop I'd rob Walt Mossberg's house the week before the event. He'll have one, I'm sure.
- Robert Scoble
Well, Apple does have various twitter accounts for iTunes stuff. So, they are a bit invested in it. No where near the level of say Dell, which apparently is making some bucks with their delloutlet account.
- Steven (optionshiftk)
steven - that dell story is bullcrap :)
- Allen Stern
Man, sometimes I wonder how tempted the UPS delivery guys are at UPS.
- Robert Scoble
yea robert - give up a great job with benefits for the hope of getting your name on engadget for a post?
- Allen Stern
Apparently they generated over 1 million in revenue from that account: http://en.community.dell.com/blogs...
- Steven (optionshiftk)
Allen: UPS drivers get benefits? Heheh.
- Robert Scoble
steven - while they might have generated revenue from their promotions - the majority of it didn't come from twitter - but it's a good pr story - the tech blogs sucked it up quicker than a foursquare new city launch
- Allen Stern
I suppose you are right. I've noticed that the mainstream networks seemed to really love this story.
- Steven (optionshiftk)
steven i don't wanna hijack this thread but as a deal hunter level 5, i am happy to discuss anytime
- Allen Stern
lovely chit chat LOL BTW Could we discuss weather? for a change :D
- Lora Lufark
Wonder if the joojoo will tank after iSlate is released?

I don't think I ever have, but I wasn't one of the people who wanted it to begin with.
- Rochelle
all the time

used to use Clippy ,,, on the 3G .. new C and P works well
- johnpiercy
quite often, when Bette sends kisses in text messages it's much easier to copy paste when replying :-P
- Rasmus Lauridsen
I use it a bit, the "select" tool is useful for when you're typing and want to delete a large section without having to hit the backspace button umpteen times
- Bryce Roney
Pretty much always.
- Mike Nayyar
almost daily!
- MiniMage TKDteacher of FF
Rarely.
- Akiva Moskovitz
I've used it a ton, but recently not at all.
- Jim Will Miss SP
I use it afew times per week. It's a feature well worth having in my book.
- LonelyBob
Every day, but then I use my iphone a lot for business
- Sally Church
You use it more on Android due to ability to run apps concurrently. Copy, pop back to the other app and paste...
- Christopher A Carr
I use it almost every day, but then I do a lot of social media on the iPhone.
- Robert Scoble
Not every day, but I'm tickled pink to have it when I need it.
- Brett Kelly
from iPhone
I guess I use it several times a week.
- Glenn
Never have.
- Matt Hilton
All the time. It's a necessary part of using the thing in any serious way. Of course, you use it more often when you jailbreak the thing and can run multiple apps at the same time.
- Otto
I'd miss it if they removed it.
- Ruud van Wijngaarden
I think cut & paste was a more important feature for detractors than people who actually owned iPhones. If Apple would have included it initially, it would have immediately sunk plenty of anti-iPhone arguments. And I think that Apple didn't include it because they figured out the truth of the matter before anyone else did: it's not that commonly useful for most people on a phone.
- Akiva Moskovitz
Good question, I use it once a day. Glad to have the feature.
- Josh Landsberg
Akiva: I think Apple realized that it was less of a necessity on a one-app-at-a-time mobile os.
- Christopher A Carr
I've always had C&P on my BB and I do use it quite a bit really.
- Ian May
I always wanted it and I use it quite often.
- Rob Michael (Atmos Trio)
I use it a good bit. I'm certainly glad to have it.
- Jandy, ConcertMaven of FF
semi-regularly (2-3 times a week)
- Bren -- feeling merry
good question! less than once a week, even if i consider myself as a heavy iPhone user
- HansVanRock
It depends on travel but when away from the computer 2-5 times a day, otherwise maybe twice a week. I am with Rochelle, I never was hammering for the feature. I am quite thankful it exists though.
- Braden Douglass
a lot
- George Dearing
I heard it through the bass line
Not much longer would you be my baby

Uggh...In Color won for song of the year? Extremely lame...Country needs to move away from the nostalgia for a country that never existed and in to the modern world...Thankfully people like Darius Rucker and Brad Paisley are leading them there.

Laura, country music (not the more recent country-pop exploits) is arguably about migration, an emigrant/immigrant's experience of the loss of what's left behind. The accuracy of of one's memory of history is somewhat irrelevant. Here's a teaser to an interesting podcast (last segment of the episode) on the topic: "Finally the phenomenon of American country music's popularity in places...

There are certainly some improvements, but some people may want to wait.

I've had upgrade problems with previous Ubuntu versions myself. Upgrading to 8.04 hosed my entire installation previously.

My current workstation is running 9.04. I'm holding off on the upgrade since I had problems in the past of upgrading from 8.10.

I should've stayed two steps back like I was but I jumped on Karmic's bandwagon anyway

perhaps... but i started taking photography seriously -- that is, thinking about it more than the odd snapshot, in february 2008. under what definition is that not a n00b? i rather think it more a ploy to be just starting out and depict oneself as knowledgeable and experienced. besides, i really don't know what i'm doing.

@tmt Quick questions: the bokeh - are they coming purely from the lens or did you do some additional work in Photoshop? I ask because in particular the leave shot, the blur does not appear to be coming from the same distance. #smlask
- See-ming Lee 李思明 SML
the bokeh's from the lens. in that particular shot i did some noise reduction on an additional layer and blended.
- tmt
@tmt thanks. It just has a very interesting linear line in the focal point. But as I have personally witnessed, the 100 f2.8 Macro does do amazing things. One of my favorite lens of all times (and posssibly the only non-L lens that I like) :)
- See-ming Lee 李思明 SML
yeah... and i'm liking it more than my 50mm f/1.4. it reaches farther and focuses nearer. i love this lens.
- tmt
I have the 50 f/1.4 and I don't like it at all. The color rendering is terrible. Requires too much post-work. But for B+W it's alright I suppose. The 85 f/1.8 caught my eye recently. Looks interesting. Many favorable reviews from the owners. See discussion here: http://friendfeed.com/smlphot...
- See-ming Lee 李思明 SML
that does sound interesting... thanks for the link. right now i don't think i have use for it. i've taken portraits with the 100mm and the 50mm i'm quite fond of and right now i have more lenses than i can use -- except maybe the 100-400mm big white -- and my 100mm is almost glued onto my camera.
- tmt
100mm as glue-on? Interesting. My always-on is the 24-70 f2.8L. Let me know what happens on your 100-400. Btw, did you photograph your stuff with the MT-24EX, or do you just use available light? Tripod though yes?
- See-ming Lee 李思明 SML
no flash. available light (desk lamps, flashlight and my monitor light). absolutely, a tripod and the 40D set on live view.

Oh, and in case you're curious why I'd walk out of an interview for insurance sales: it's a crock. You have to pay for training, state certification, and then typically work commission only.

GAH! Interesting though - my husband works for one of Australia's largest insurance companies. He started out in sales (inbound call centre), got paid for his training period and his starting wage was (I think) $38K + bonuses. No certification required.
- Mellissa
@Mellissa - there is a distinct split between kinds of insurance companies in the US. A lot of the larger ones fall into the category that you describe (I have a friend who works for one), but I've also had another friend fall into the trap Tina's describing. I'm glad your husband is at the good kind :)

I was going to wish you luck Tina until I read what you went through. Total Boo on that!
- Helen Sventitsky

After posting my resume on the major job boards, you wouldn't believe how many insurance companies e-mailed me with the "we have a perfect position for you" pitch. Unfortunately my skills and experience do not include 'Insurance Sales or Insurance Agent' or anything remotely resembling this type of work. My resume clearly states "Seeking a position as a Sr. Mechanical Engineer" What part of that statement do these idiots not understand???

You people are behind the death of quality! Ugh. I've seen awful pirated DVDs of mainland Chinese TV series. The compression is so high (to fit a ton of episodes per disc) that it looks like 12 fps video with sound that constantly clips. Awful.
- Andrew C
Would it be hyperbolic to suggest y'all are the worst people in the world? =) Kidding, sorta, but it really does make me sad to see over-compressed video.
- Andrew C
Depends. If it's just a one-off funny home video or something, then speed. But if it's a movie trailer, TV clip, web series, or something I really care about watching, then quality.
- Jandy, ConcertMaven of FF
High Compression = Sports, WebSeries, Youtube, online streams, free MP3's........ High Quality = Sports, Expensive Hollywood movies, Classical or Jazz music, anything with high production special effects (Star Wars, LOTR...etc.)

Request Policy is a fantastic addon for Firefox http://www.requestpolicy.com/ ... it prevents items -- cookies, ads, images, potentially malicious javascript -- from being loaded if it comes from a domain other than the one you're on. and it's really easy to 'white list' domains.
