These are 30x30 but for my current project I need something a little smaller, so I'll end up losing this nice detail. That's ok. Nobody's going to be staring at the trees (I hope). They look even cooler at 48x48 (see third screenshot) but my goal is 24x24. - Amit Patel
These are awesome! Friendfeed needs a 'love' button. Or maybe a 'DO WANT'. - Rob Shillingsburg

Why stop with freedom of speech? Support universal suffrage. Corporations should be able to vote too.
And marry, but only corporations of the opposite gender. - Tudor Bosman
On a slightly more serious note, does this SCOTUS decision invalidate "truth in advertising" laws? If corporations have freedom of speech, they are free to say anything they want, including lie (unless under oath -- when was the last time you saw a corporation swear an oath?). - Tudor Bosman
Theres a SciFi story that posits corporate rule I have to find that title oddly similar - WarLord
Are you thinking of Max Barry's Jennifer Government? - Mark Trapp
Wish I could "like" this one again. - scott willeke
You know one of thinking of is similar but older same theme - corp takes over broke gov and all agencies protect corporations etc - WarLord
Corporations have already taken over. - topernic
And be subject to the death penalty, and go to jail for criminal acts. - Piaw Na
Tudor, the courts have already ruled that media corporations can legally lie: http://www.projectcensored.org/top-sto... - Michael R. Bernstein
This may not be the end of "gov't by the people, for the people", but it's a step in the direction of collectivism having more influence than the individual. - Jack&Cleo
Piaw, there is such a thing as a 'corporate death penalty': revoking the companies charter, but it is hardly ever used. - Michael R. Bernstein
Jack, corporatism != collectivism, except in the vague sense that both concern how people are organised into groups. - Michael R. Bernstein
Owning stock is a violation of the corporation's 13th-amendment rights. - Bruce Lewis

Holding spacebar in Google Wave: 60% CPU. Holding spacebar in winword/aim/etc.: 1% cpu.
but how many friends can observe your holding the space bar on those other platforms? and play it back? ;-) - Hein Roehrig

That is great :) - Bret Taylor
Love the URL too :). Except back then it would most definitely have been cwru.edu :) - Benjamin Golub
Philipp was actually one of our first beta testers... - Kevin Fox
b65152.student.cwru.edu if it were my computer. - Paul Buchheit
Hillarious! - Robert Scoble from iPhone
We nixed Gopher access at the last minute because we found our gopher servers couldn't handle the load. - Kevin Fox
Ha! I saved a copy of the Trojan Room Coffee Cam page, complete with captured picture (which I then had to view offline, as I could not configure the Lynx to display in parallel ;-)) - ianf ⌘
Thanks to non-caching of css files, archive.org's first record of FriendFeed isn't all that different: http://web.archive.org/web... - Kevin Fox
gotta check the wayback machine now.. :)- - Peter Dawson
I LOVE the Metacrawler part. Nice job. - Anika
Damn I forgot how much screen real estate browser toolbars used to eat up, especially with those huge buttons. - Ray Cromwell
I was using friendfeed when I was 10! ;) - Frankie Warren
This should be a Theme for FF. - Matt Ruiz
A more accurate URL would have been k2.cwru.edu/~ptb/index.html - Gabe
Needs moar BLINK tag. - Rick Cogley
Great - Charlie Anzman
My first website looked like this. But with less graphics :) - WoH: Minding her Steves

If we knew then, what we know now! - Donna Payne
Speaking of which, I always wondered at the default gray background choice of the first Netscape browser(s). It looked too sophisticated to have been accidental. In hindsight, however, someone there must've misunderstood basic usability, e.g. optimal contrast ratios? [And then a year later someone had that unbright idea of turning homepages black for a day's web protest against some... more... - ianf ⌘
ianf: The gray background was the default in Mosaic, so Netscape was just keeping the status quo. The black background protest was against the Communications Decency Act, which would have made lots of innocent speech illegal: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki... - Gabe
Heheh, so true. - wiredgnome
Obviously fake. :) The menu bar entries are anti-aliased. - Andy Bakun
Ray Cromwell, with the pixels being so much bigger back then, I suspect that the continued need for button bars was the impetus behind increasing screen resolutions. - Andy Bakun
hahaha brilliant - Nicholas Kreidberg
If this was supposed to be March 5, 1995, that was before Sun announced Java, so the coffee pot needing Java joke wouldn't have made sense yet. - Gabe
Damn, just by me "viewing" the image that mentioned Java, I got a "Java Update Available" window. I'm not kidding, it popped up the second the image loaded... I hate Java. This is a great parody though, good work. - Joel Strellner

By popular demand, we bring you the Duck Hunt theme, in which you shoot cartoon ducks while you peruse FriendFeed. - http://friendfeed.com/setting... - Bret Taylor from Bookmarklet
FriendFeed is not responsible for lost productivity, irritated co-workers or hunting companions "accidentally" shot in the face. - Ana

ROFL!!!! Awesome! - Jesse Stay
This is totally my new theme. - Jesse Stay
Insert Dick Cheney joke here. - John Craft

Oh God, this is awesome. - Mark Trapp
It needs the "duck got away" sound :p - Robert DeBord
Yeah, and a smug dog that laughs at you. - Mark Trapp
You could shoot the smug dog in the arcade version, couldn't you? - Robert DeBord
Ok really cool, but to get anything done I went back to bamboo - Kim Landwehr

I wish duck could laugh if I miss it. - Ashish
*BANG* - Meryn Stol
lol that's awesome! - xero
ashish, how can you miss? It's like shooting fish in a barrel. :) - Joe Bonner
Joe, If I am very involved in reading or commenting, I may miss shooting it. :) - Ashish
That's why I reverted to Helvetica, I let the ducks take over :) - Joe Bonner
Are the shotgun blasts a beta test for a new "dislike" function? - DGentry
cute! :) - Susan Beebe
lol very funny. can we have a "mob" theme in which posts that have comments disabled go float by, and you can re-enable comments by throwing a pitchfork? :-D - Karim
oh wow...this totally made my day - Tamara
OMG, this is awesome. I'm easily amused. :) I agree though, needs the annoying dog. - Jandy
Not sure I expected to see the duck hovering by on the bookmarklet, but I'm OK with it. :D - Mitch
What a great idea! - ChaCha Fance
Quality I love it - Joe Dawson
love it :) - Krishnamoorthy
Would you consider something with the HomestarRunner crew? That'd rock! - Courtney Engle

Overheard: "We care about two things: speed and quality. And the quality we care about is speed."
Where did you overhear this? - niniane
@niniane: On an internal mailing list. Someone mentioned a previous manager having said this at one point. As much time as I spend trying to wrestle browsers into some semblance of acceptable performance, this struck a chord with me :) - Joel Webber
