Holy mackerel, Matt!! Your head is shiny! My current favorite gadget is the Blackberry 8900+Google Voice. I feel sorry for those poor iPhone users ;)

Blackberry 8900, although I cannot wait for the 9700, T-Mobile needs a 3G Blackberry device like yesterday :)

@Stelian: To use it with the operator I prefer here in Sweden, I have to jailbreak and unlock it. And its always scary to see if you made all settings right, and don't pay per MB of data you use, or roams of another network etc.

I'll be honest. Apple's new Safari 4 really sucks. Freezes. Slow. So sad to see this from Apple. I'm not the only one, either.

Agree. It's very slow compared to Safari 3. But it's still beta?
- Håkan Dahlström
As much as I love my iMAC I've always preferred Firefox over Safari. Now, if Roboform would just port their software. 1Password just doesn't do the job.
- Brandon Hall
Is this based off the latest and greatest WebKit? If so, I'm really surprised.
- WiseYoda (aka Patrick)
Have not experienced those problems on a MacBook Air.
- Michael Osterman
It also causes other apps to stop working. I've gone back to Safari 3 on all of my macs.
- Sufian Siddiqi
I love Safari 3 on Windows.
- Alp
Isn´t it still beta ? People are spoiled because everyone through "beta" on every service and app for a while because it was hip. It really means not stable. Use a stable release (ie. 3) for critical work. Production releases from them are usually good.
- Thomas Bøhm
The tabs are really unusable.
- Ben
Have not tried it out. But is it really that bad!!
- Sujay
I can't think of anything Apple's made that's great in beta. Final release is always wonderful. Firefox betas may have spoiled us.
- Mike Lewis
I really don't like Safari 4's implementation of tabs. Apart from the fact that they shouldn't be on top, they go all the way to the top edge of the window, which means you will probably accidentally switch tabs while trying to move the window.
- Joey Gibson
To their credit they did make a little headway since 3.x on Windows. They can thank Google for showing them the way by making an instantly appealing and fast webkit browser.
- Adi
Never had a problem with it, I use it full time at home on a 3 year old MBP and my very old Dell PC
- Caspar Aremi
Firefox 3.5 Beta is IMHO faster than 3.0.x on a Mac. It would be great if Firefox would change from Gecko to WebKit.
- Waldemar Schott
I use it all the time without issue. Initially I didn't like the tabs but now really like the position. I can now have lots of tabs open without the crashing I experienced with Firefox. For a beta, it's working well for me.
- Howard Keziah
Perhaps Apple should stop working on browsers. I think that area of consumer computer use is well covered by people who really know what they're doing. We, as an internet, need another browser on the net like we need more trolls. Just my $.02. That and $4.48 gets you Starbucks.
- Dan Messer
Wondering if this is semi-intentional: Let's forget about the Web, folks, it's too unreliable, come to the App Store and buy that far more trustworthy MSM content.
- John Blossom
Agreed. It's driven me back to Firefox. And is it just me, or has there been a total lack of updates for Safari 4? Maybe we'll get them when 10.5.7 drops...
- Andy Bold
I agree, sucks. I prefer Chrome on the PC but like having my bookmarks synced between my PCs so I use Firefox on the Mac and on the PC a lot as well.
- Jim Graham
Yah Safari 4 is a major let down, and seems to screw up a LOT with flash based websites. Not impressed
- Angus Burton
Jim: are you using a plugin to keep your firefox bookmarks synced between your Mac and PC?
- Angus Burton
I actually disagree. I've been running the Beta since it came out and have now pretty much moved over to it full time. I usually run 3 windows, each with multiple tabs open all the time and it's been pretty stable and useable. It crashes every now and again, but with the Saft plugin, I get auto resume when I start it up again. Saft also gives you the option of moving the tabs back under the address bar. All in all, I've been very impressed with it.
- Keith Bennett
from Nambu
I've noticed pages often seem to be endlessly loading, but they function OK. I've had a few freezes as well. The latest Webkit seems more stable, although whenever it crashes the next time I start up it says to get rid of the plug-ins. The only thing I have going is Gears, so I guess that's a problem. My Gmail offline features works though. I don't see the big speed drop from Safari 3, and the latest Firefox ends up hogging all my resources on my Powerbook, so I end up using Safari 4 a lot.
- Steve Wright
It beachballs for me consistently ...Safari 4 + Flash = Crash. Yes, that rhymes.
- Bwana ☠
Wonder if it's time for a "Plug-Ins" spring cleaning!!!! Go to /Library/Internet Plug-ins/ and nuke away!

Safari 4 beta (with Flash turned off) hasn't crashed or hung for me yet in the last two months.
- Victor Ganata
I've only had a few crashes with Safari 4 with the Webkit nightlies. It's pretty much rock solid and I've been running it since it was released.

- Chris Jackson
Funny, I was having so many problems with FireFox 3 I switched to Safari 4 and have been happy as a clam.
- ChiliMac
You can download it again now, it´s updated (you´ll have to upgrade the OS to 10.5.7 first too).
- Thomas Bøhm
I find it to be very fast when its working but it does hang and freeze too often, especially on the "top site" view.
- Justin Luey
I like how it randomly decides not to load a web page now and then. It's as if Safari 4 knows when I need a break.
- Gunny doesn't side-hug™
Yeah, it really doesn't like flash either.
- Drew Lucas
@Drew - Safari 4 + Flash sent me on a long arduous round trip of testing other browsers for OS X, and I've ended up back at Firefox. :-/
- Andy Bold
Yeah I mean, it hangs up every 5 minutes or so, on simple small embeds! *sigh*
- Drew Lucas
Flash remains a problem. Other than that Safari 4 Beta with Webkit is running fine for me.
- Peter Kruit
Maybe that's why Safari 4 Webkit runs so well for me: I avoid Flash like I avoid shooting myself in the face with a bazooka.
- Akiva Moskovitz
Akiva LOL

No kidding. What's up with that - I use Apple products cuz they rawk, if I wanted something to suck I'd go back to a PC and use MSFT products

I'm using Safari 4 on Windows 7 and it's great - really, really flies, even compared to Chrome. And no crashes so far!
- Ian Betteridge
Safari 4 seems to be running much smoother compared to Chrome and Mozilla Firefox on my system. In fact, I've already configured Safari 4 to be my new default Web browser!

Funny my experience has been positive. On the PC it runs well and is fast. I wasn't expecting much, now I may use it as much as Google Chrome, we'll see.

It's magic. Frees your mind from the stupid bullet list that bores audiences to death. Every time I see a PowerPoint deck my brain turns off.

Robert, as a former highschool teacher, I can assure you that Powerpoint is the evil enemy of learning...and yet every school insisted teachers started using it because the schools thought PP "was" technology...yikes. Advice? Tell stories with passion and understanding.
- Daniel Kenney
Daniel: I totally agree. The way schools teach technology just makes me ill.
- Robert Scoble
anyone ever try prezi.com? it's a bit different-- much more visual
- Ted Curran
So instead of Powerpoint™, use a real presentation platform that allows interactive data and tactile response to both you and your audience.
- Eric Martindale
i have been working on a new keynote /powerpoint method I can
- Ted Curran
PowerPoint is only a problem in that it makes it way too easy to just make lists of bullet points. They almost force you to go down that path. If they could somehow turn that off, and just provide the functionality to create a series of slides, each of which had a line or two of text, an image, etc... I don't think it'd get such a bad rap.
- Ken Sheppardson
*call "Attention Method"-- it's a way to use PPT or Apple Keynote not in the way the program wants to be used but in the way people's minds work

similar to other software noted is my favorite.. Big Mouth

What makes Mind Manager the first platform to come to mind? I have never heard of it until right now.

I agree Daniel Kenney :(

Amani: I saw Buzz Bruggeman give a talk with it and was mesmerized.

Try Prezi, and if you have some time to devote to it, Keynote. Both are really pretty impressive.

I came across http://prezi.com last month, worth a look. It has sort of a tv commercial look, like the 2-d Ford pickup commercials.

Too bad Mind Manager on the mac feels utterly abandoned. I switched to mac, but haven't used MindManager since. A real pity.

I don't want to get into a PowerPoint bashing thing here, but I agree it's bad. Another thing I've noticed is that the boring speakers usually have the most elaborate PP presentations. Yikes.
- Missionary Broadcasting
I'm a big fan of MindManager as well. Once you're done conceptualizing your presentation, Powerpoint (or any other presentation tool) can obviously be used as an effective tool. Powerpoint isn't innately evil, it's just too easy to miss-use. If you want to try a different tool give sliderocket.com a try. (but I'd stick with Mindmanager)
- Jason Goldberg
Well that's two programs I had no idea existed 15 minutes ago.
- Dean Clark
Do you use iThoughts iPhone app? I use it every day and they just upgraded to allow Mind Manager export

Prezi is too difficult to learn for anyone - it is supercool but if you want to get right down to working, forget it - I wish I could use it - for mindmaps to me nothing beats MindMeister both for presentation materials as well for organizing ideas and tools - it is much easier and immediate than any other mindmapping tool I have tried, including having a full revisions history, working...

In the end the vote of PowerPoint chastity should really be targeted at avoiding making the "types" of PowerPoint slideshows that are so bad. Bad choice of images, too much text, and you reading them as you show them. It is not the tool so much, but the culture we have built around it. Whether with PowerPoint, Keynote, Sliderocket, OpenOffice or GoogleDocs the power of your presentation...

The issue with powerpoint (and keynote) is that the flow of the presentation is completely locked in, and the presentation environment is unchanging. Mindmanager (or Freemind) allows branching, and the ability to store extra content for questions (only use as needed). Powerpoint or equivalent is good for building a screen when you want one that can dynamically build. An alternative way...

@alistair: It is possible to branch PowerPoint -presentations with hyperlinks that jump from slide to another. Never considered it, but interesting idea. For example, after determining audience level, it could skip slides that explain basic things for experienced audience.

Check out the free pptplex from Office Labs which is an add in for PP that gives you a similar zooming interface as Prezi. http://www.officelabs.com/project...

Alistair: That is exactly how I use PersonalBrain. I have it set up in Dropbox and am able to access it with any computer. It's worth a look-see again. It's also worth using to flesh out ideas for presentations, too, no matter what tool you end up using.

Use Prezi at Prezi.com! ;) or sliderocket.com

I am adoring Prezi - just the freshness of the look gives you a 50% boost in new biz meetings, and I really haven't found it at all hard to learn to use

Last week i was thinking how lame PP is and actually did a presentation at college bashing it. The tool i've used for that was Prezi.com, the one mentioned by a lot of ppl in this thread. You should give them some love, definetely a great worth a look tool.

Daniel & Jemm - thanks for that. I've just installed personalbrain on the Mac and opened some old brains done in the PC (aahh nostalgia). I really missed it as a tool. I've been using freemind, which does have some very good features, but personalbrain is still a better tool for this sort of work. Thanks.

Jemm - in some cases I will just generate one or two slides using ppt or similar.

Powerpoint is a time sink - whenever I have had to use it I ended up using more time fixing the presentation than focusing on the message.

You're right, it's not the format, nor is it Powerpoint. It is not using it to in an engaging way.
- Dennis Beatty
Robert,Sorry for misinterpreting your question. This one is a really tricky question.
- ashish
I often find slides take away from the message - people are reading the slide text instead of looking at and listening to the speaker, and the speaker is looking at the slides instead of at the audience. I wouldnt mind the speaker looking at the screen if he was demonstrating something (or writing, in the old blackboard style) but in a way slides which were supposed to support the presentation end up taking away from it. Too passive?

Funny thing for me is that I've always made fun of PP style presentations and have been known as someone who really gets groups interacting, etc. (check out this clip of a game I led at Seattle Mindcamp -http://tinyurl.com/qjathj) BUT, just recently, I've discovered that for my type of improvised, interactive, often scattered, creative style --powerpoint is actually a good (much needed!) balance. So I've been upping the KeyNote. MultiModal is the way :)

I also meant to draw attention to Lief's comment about multi modal and how sometimes a powerpoint slide can present the underlying structure or main points of the presentation. I still believe there can be a place for dot points - so long as they are not the sole content. I believe there are few that would suggest Steve Jobs' presentations are boring, for example. Always worth a watch and they can be found on youtube. Other exemplars are the top rated talks on TED.com.It gives me something to aim for.

i was blown away by a preso done in prezi.com. tried it out, the UI takes some getting used to, but w/ patience the zoom in/out approach yields great presos. worth checking out some of the demos. I saw a preso done w/ it that all took place inside the dot of a question mark (that was the reveal at end of preso). cool.
- Adrian Chan
re. TiddlyWiki: should I mention, that there's also a true presentation version?... http://ow.ly/8vMH
- schilke
Or you could emulate Carrot Top and use props from a great big trunk. Problem is you need to be a) really pumped up and b) certifiably nuts.
- bob corrigan
Schilke - thanks for the link to tiddlywiki presentation version. I've bookmarked that and visited the example. With tiddlywiki each 'tiddler' has a specifically adressable URL so that pages can be individually linked from mindmapping software. That way a complete subtopic can be created as a 'deck' but not invoked in the presentation unless we choose to go there. Back to the 'horrible'...

I am in a taxi in NYC and if you were watching my Google Latitude widget on my blog you would know that. It is the crashiest app I have, though.

Rizzn it is the buggiest app I have. By far. How about now?
- Robert Scoble
Yep - now it shows you just north of Rockaway in NYC.
- Mark "Rizzn" Hopkins
Remember the iPhone when you get out this time :)
- Charlie Anzman
It is spotty for me, too. I ride the train from CT to NYC and back each day. It usually craps out halfway through the commute.
- Thomas
Charlie: I will try. Hopefully I don't lose the Nokia this time.
- Robert Scoble
Now it shows you in the middle of a lake off to the east of 11e. Sorta fun to watch!
- Mark "Rizzn" Hopkins
I see you Robert, east side near 72nd Ave. Hopefully it will be more stable on your new Pre :)
- jcunwired
Thomas: There is a bad connectivity spot coming in to Manhattan from the north in the S Bronx. You have a signal, but can't get a data connection or it is v slow.

Robert - Just spent a few days in NY (mostly eastern LI). Had I known you were headed this way ... would have tried to meet-up. Good luck with the RackSpace gig!
- Charlie Anzman
You're back on the LIE now.
- Thomas
Is crashiest a word?
- David
If it didn't crash every 20 seconds this would be cool. I have lots of friends in NY that I can stalk! :-)

Thanks, Morton.

- jcunwired
jc - He's definitely got a winner. I've been in fast city cabs ... but whoa!
- Charlie Anzman
why would you want anyone to pinpoint your location? Perhaps it's just a woman's POV, but that doesn't sound safe to me.
- Peggy Dolane
i love the app and potential...too bad none of my friends do. maybe its time for new friends?
- Rob
Scoble, what are you using to update FF while in the cab? I need a better solution for my BB coz the new FF links don't work so well with the BB browser.
- Sufian Siddiqi
Rob, I do too, but am in the same boat. Would be great to have a lot of friends on to follow.
- jcunwired
Sufian - Apparently, at this point, he's got his eyes closed .... while the cabby continues to go for the Guinness Book.

Where ya going. I saw NYC and my ears perked up naturally.

Robert, you're in NYC till Friday?
- Myrna
Myrna: yup! And free some of the day on Thursday (and especially free Thursday night). I'm free Wednesday morning, too, but need to work on my speech. I'm giving a speech about the 2010 Web to a group of CIOs from the world's biggest companies.
- Robert Scoble
Are you broadcasting it Robert?
- Gary Gannon
Fun stuff. Latitude shows you on the east side of Park Ave, I would have stalked you in Rossini's restaurant across the street :)
- jcunwired
Ok, I'll come by to say hello on Thursday
- Myrna
Gary: I'm going to try, but they underlined that this is a private event by invite only so I doubt I'll be able to. I'm definitely going to have friendfeed up on the screen, though. More about that in the morning.
- Robert Scoble
Myrna: call me tomorrow and make sure we get something on the calendar. It's filling up remarkably fast. +1-425-205-1921.

Robert: should I call or want my #
- Myrna
I can call now quickly-yes, no?

Jon Stewart won't mind for a second
- Myrna
Sure! I'll be up late.

FriendFeed really needs a proper mobile experience. The mobile web version leaves a lot to be desired, and funneling it all through IM works OK for posting stuff, but not for consuming, as your IM just goes off continuously...

We can use iChat for video and some other channel for voice.
- Gary Burd

- Cristo
Jesse: frequently it completely drops and sometimes my microphone completely cuts out and I have to restart iChat
- Benjamin Golub
Issues with iChat: noise cancelation and automatic volume adjustment not very good, dropped connections.

Chris, I don't think the other people want to move to Seattle.

I've found that forcing people to move was better for everyone involved, except maybe those who had to move.

Cisco Telepresence or HP Halo look awesome: http://www.humanproductivitylab.com/archive... Unfortunately they are in the hundreds of thousands of dollars range. The good thing about them is that the remote people are people-sized so it feels more like they are actually present. What about using iChat projected on a larger screen or TV for the video feed, and the phone for audio?
- Jess Lee
I've used iChat, Gmail Video, and Skype. For reliability, I would say that Gmail Video has been the strongest in terms of connecting well, not having calls dropped, and solid sound/video sync up. iChat is strongest overall (especially picture quality) when it works. However, frequently I've had many people unable to connect with iChat (and in the same session, we're able to use Gmail Video). Skype is between the two for me -- not as reliable as Gmail Video, quality not as high as iChat.
- Nelson Cheng
We would like to use Gmail Video, but it does not support 3-way chat.
- Gary Burd
I can almost never get iChat video to work, regardless of the configuration or who I'm trying to connect with. It's pretty useless to me.
- Kevin Pedraja
iChat works great, but for instances where I'm communicating with people who don't have iChat/AIM, I use skype or dimdim.
- Sufian Siddiqi
I did a video of a company called Facevsion at CeBIT which have a $99 HD video conferencing solution for Express card slot in any laptop, including also a cheap set-top-box solution probably $199 for HDTVs. Probably technology is now so that this little chip is just as good as 30-thousand dollar Cisco Telepresence, Sony ipela, Lifesize or any other such. I find HD video conferencing...
