Looks like WebProNews called it before anyone else. - Mark "Rizzn" Hopkins

Got Cray? :-p #tw #vmware - Mark "Rizzn" Hopkins

My daughter's former guitar teacher emphasized simplicity. If you work too hard in the way you hold your hands, you can't do as much. Programmers similarly limit themselves by working too hard in a variety of ways. When April mentioned she was learning guitar, I was hopeful for a Paul Buchheit blog post on this topic at some point. But maybe a short FF post is more fitting. - Bruce Lewis

Maybe old school Google statement, not sure about current Google. Wave certainly defied KISS, Buzz isn't a lot better. - Ed Millard

I still fail to see how it's constitutional for us to have law enforcement taking these sorts of actions on what are civil crimes. - Mark "Rizzn" Hopkins

This is the reason why Penn and Teller continue to be my favorite entertainers, long after the point where I should have gotten bored with them...: “Early on, Teller said to me that magic was essentially an intellectual art form which, when you picture the kind of dips---s that do magic, sounds like an insane thing to say,” he says. “Can you do magic without insulting the audience? Can you do magic that is intellectually satisfying? It is those questions, rather than the magic itself, that fascinates me. Those are the question that we have been playing with for 35 years.” - Mark "Rizzn" Hopkins

In case we all forgot - because we're all stupid and riddled with the Alzheimer's, according to MG, he himself kicked off this stupid privacy craze with his initial post. And no, it wasn't two months ago, it was three months ago. From MG's original post (http://techcrunch.com/2010...): "I Think Facebook Just Seized Control Of The Internet" Over the next several days and weeks, we’ll undoubtedly hear why that’s a bad thing. Maybe it is. But maybe, if Facebook plays its cards right, the web will be a bit better because it will be more connected. *Of course, that’s a lot of power for a still-private company to have. Let’s hope they know what they’re doing, and aren’t evil.* On the upside, MG didn't use any movie analogies. - Mark "Rizzn" Hopkins

@parislemon @MG Siegler: please explain what the hell it is you're talking about in this post. You're not even making sense anymore, buddy. There was a time when you wrote some really good posts. You've painted yourself in a corner, though, it seems like. You're accusing anyone who disagrees with you of basically being Microsoft and Google fanboys. But you cry foul when others accuse you of being an Apple fanboy. So, again, I ask, WTF, dude? #tw - Mark "Rizzn" Hopkins

"First of all, nobody is complaining about competition, as always, that is what makes for a dynamic economy where people are free to choose what products or services best suite them. I am happy for you Android users who love your devices as much as I love my Iphone, it is awesome to have such useful devices at your fingertips wherever you go at all times. When you mention the benefits of this market being thanks to Android and leaving out Apple and AT, I'd say you have a very short memory. Before the IPhone: * There was no unlimited data plans, I would have had to file for bankruptcy by now if I had used as much data as I do now before Apple and at * Applications for smart phones or any other phone for that matter were a joke, only a select few 3rd parties could develop them, when the iphone app store launched they created a whole new market and now we have apps running out of our ears. I seem to remember that right around the time of the app store launch a certain company named..." - Brian

I remember when ASCAP worked hand in hand with the podcaster community. Where did that day go? - Mark "Rizzn" Hopkins

So horrifying. - Shey

Would love to have one ;-) - Marcos Marado

OK, smoke is pouring out of an SUV and it smells of gunpowder and propane. Someone notices. And they're a fucking hero? Oh, Lord, we *are* a strange people. - Anthony Citrano

This is called astroturfing, from what I'm told. And according to liberals who read my Mashable posts and hated Rudy last year, it's something only the evil republicans do. - Mark "Rizzn" Hopkins

"Is anybody getting as tired as I am watching Google try to COPY everything out there? Getting really boring Google!" - Brian

Yes, it's terrible the way they keep doing things better. How dare they. It's almost as if technology was based on information in evolution and development; what kind of madness is that? - Alexander Williams
