My wife's iPhone has started doing this once, and a full power off and back on seems to have taken care of it since it has been a month or so since we saw it happen. - Michael Pardee
We have all sorts of strange iPhone behavior. Calls that go right to VM, service stopping suddenly then resuming, dropped calls all the time. The device is great but the iphone service is spotty beyond belief. - Dion Hinchcliffe via twhirl
TBH I don't have one but I just fell in love with it. So you're saying it's not worth it? - Pawel Grodzicki via twhirl
Its not in the manual, but unless you wear all black, all the time, expect glitches :) - JCunwired
I've never had a single issue with my iPhone - consider myself lucky. I have to wonder if it's because I'm on T-Mobile and not AT&T. I should have all kinds of problems considering all the 3rd party apps and unlocking I've done, but never much of a hiccup besides Safari crashing every so often. - Vince DeGeorge
Why didn't FriendFeed do this first? FriendFeed w/adsense...only Friendfeed doesn't make any money on it. - Robert Seidman
@Robert: Focus. Same reason Google Reader hasn't made a ReadBurner. They could, but imagine how it would look as they have global data. My understanding is... we don't always know what it is we want. And if they delivered a true "Popular Shared Links Tracker"... it'd be pretty dull. - Louis Gray
Right on time...this is exactly what I was looking for. - Threepwood
Was this not done by FriendFeed? This is a total trademark violation. If I were working at FriendFeed I'd be hiring lawyers right now. Also, it's very lame how it doesn't link back to our accounts on FriendFeed. - Robert Scoble
Robert - and to answer your question - FF didn't do this first because they're trying to solve a bigger problem: exposing each user to stuff that's _relevant to them_. Without some serious magic behind the scenes, so-called "popular link dumps" are a step back. - Aviv
Aviv (and Louis, too) I hear you re: focus, but I think you underestimate the value of "meme-ing" things by "most shared, liked, commented, etc" -- not to mention Scoble would love that! If you only want your target market to be people who want to figure out what's relevant to them -- OK, but I think there's a huge market of people who want to know "what did the aggregate think is important". - Robert Seidman
FriendFeed will crush this by doing it better. - Mo Jawhari
FriendFeed needs to add negrates as a feature. - Prokofy Neva
can someone mention i broke the news on TechCrunch France :) ? - ouriel
And now also available via twitter , simply follow @friendfeedlinks - Stijn Wijndaele
Way too much duplication with Readburner & RSSMeme for me. - Kevin D. White
my problem is that I love a real book. would only be a NYT/WSJ device for me. - Tyler Hannan
my price-point with their current tech is around $100. I expect whatever the mini-tablet thing Apple is working on to completely kill the Kindle - will do a lot more a lot better. - Tad Donaghe
I've been thinking the Kindle would make sense, if I could tweak it for the twins. No baby books ever! - Louis Gray
that's an un-holy matrimony - WHY ? obviously Comcast is confused on their brand strategy or they're radically changing their business model / strategy. Why would they buy Plaxo? ODD! Doesn't bode well for future of Plaxo... seriously re-thinking my use of Plaxo now. = Loss of customer confidence in product. - Susan Beebe
Given how little I trust Comcast, that just obliterated any chance of trusting Plaxo further. yuck. - Lucretia Pruitt
Comcast sure has a lot of access to contact information now... not sure I like that. - Vince DeGeorge
Very bizarre! But I guess Plaxo just needed to sell out to somebody/anybody. They were making a lot of noise with all the "social web" stuff but really going nowhere with it. - Lawrence Liu via Alert Thingy
i agree... pretty odd pairing for Plaxo... makes a little business sense for Comcast but that means it's scary for Plaxo users like me :( - Philip J Beyer via twhirl
I feel sorry for all you guys with Plaxo accounts. Yick. It's like your social graph going to the Devil himself. - Cyndy
@Cyndy - you're sooo right! augh!! Plaxo...login...delete account- u sure? - YEP! - Susan Beebe
I don't think an UI that involves standing up and moving arms all over is a user friendly one. A tiny multitouch trackpad to control things on a surface of any size is much better. I can't imagine giving a presentation using TouchWall with my back facing the audience. - Vinuth M. Madinur via twhirl
I think its way cool. Shopping malls is the first application to come to mind... - JCunwired
@Mark lol. yes. And the geeks get obsessed with these ideas.. Thats an informative article. Thanks !! - Vinuth M. Madinur via twhirl
i've spent dozens of hours having meetings crowded around whiteboards... its an effective working paradigm. I wouldn't "give a presentation" using this, with my back to the audience the whole time, but i could certainly imagine collaborating with team members, all facing the same wall. Also.... who said you couldn't use it while sitting down? - Chris Hollander
@Chris Surface works. I doubt if TouchWall will. Also you can't work with TouchWall being seated, as the laser grid requires the fingers to be closer to the surface. TouchWall may work for gaming complexes or information kiosks or art exhibitions, etc., though. But not so much for office use or as a mainstream UI. I still think a smaller area to interact in would be better than the entire screen. I don't have to drag my fingers half way through the screen to move an object by that much distance. Thats too tiring. - Vinuth M. Madinur via twhirl
One commercial use will no doubt be touch screens at fast food restaurants. Literacy rates are dropping and labor prices are increasing, so there will be a return to a semi-Automat style, probably. - artifex (Jason)
looks very cool. But will this be wildly unaffordable with limited roll out like Surface? - Duncan Riley
