Man I want to try it. Pepsi throwback is quite tasty
- Bwana ☠
What's throwback?
- Andrew Trinh
Made with Sugar instead of HFCS
- Bwana ☠
Tastes better imho
- Bwana ☠
it certainly does taste better .. not to mention a monster sugar rush lol
- John Blanton

I thought they all normally have sugar in it, I know for a fact that we don't have caffeine in our Mountain Dew.

I miss Mountain Dew here in the UK :( Used to be my fave drink
- Simon Wicks
Most sodas have high fructose corn syrup in it .. It's chemically modified corn syrup ..Pure sugar is better for you then HFCS
- John Blanton
from twhirl
That and Pepsi Throwback, so much better than the crap they are shilling today. I hope Pepsi Co. decides drop the Throwback name and get rid of the current HFCS (and not just because it is in everything).
- kenneth glenn
I was sad to hear these are only for a limited time. I hope they keep them around just for the option. (I try to drink soda only a handful times a month)
- Bwana ☠
Amen Mr. Glenn .. but the more I think about it the more I think it's just a limited time deal .. which is sad. I'm going to see if there is a way to contact them and tell them to make this their permanent recipe and I'll post what I find here.

I have a bottle of Pepsi Throwback, though I'm not a Pepsi fan. I don't know where to get my favorite brand's sugar beverage, unless I go to The Pub, and I don't want to go to TP.

- John Blanton
from twhirl
I just went to three stores, no one has it
- Bwana ☠
@Bwana I don't remember where you live but I'd be willing to bet it's on it's way to ya .. Memphis is a major distribution hub so that might explain why it's available here and not where you're at yet.
- John Blanton
from twhirl
I found it in Orlando a couple of weeks ago... I'm in Jacksonville, FL
- Bwana ☠
I really need to get another bottle of this soon. Honestly don't know what's stopped me.

Can you order it online?

@Bwana I'm looking for it right now

from twhirl
@Bwana I can't find anything through official channels.

BTW part of the essence of the Dixie Brewery is yeast, for sure, or something living or was until recently. It has a chemical element, and something else. It does NOT make you want a Dixie, a brand everyone drinks but hates and thinks causes cancer.

Okay there's the one *obvious* thing no one has had the guts to put in this list. Do you know what I'm talking about? Let's put it this way.

He'd walk past a fish market (they used to have them in NY when I was growing up) and he'd sniff loudly three times and say HI GIRLS! Even I, a little kid, knew what that was about.

Rasheen/ Todd, I'd like to think that, but it isn't happening, at least in the next decade anyway. Thinner and bigger is the general direction, although Scoble I think 5 screens is still some time away, by the sheer force of building design. Newer houses might allow it, but I haven't got a wall in my loungeroom for the extra units :-)

Don't mean to be all 'Mr Conspiracy' or 'Mr Fearmonger' but what implications will this have for security and privacy. My major concearn is what access is available to the TVs from 'untrusted' sources. Can content or ads be placed in my TV with my knowledge? Can my viewing habits be mined from third parties. I hope this is addressed and solved cause I'm all about digital connectivity through my house :)
- Johnny Worthington
probably sooner. bye bye cable!
- Stewart Rogers
John: in the case of the Panasonic TV? Probably not. The system is very limited. You can't view a lot of Internet content. Just YouTube and a few select others. I seriously doubt that Panasonic would put a system in that sends much data home. Either way, I bet NBC's Olympics Website has a lot more info being sent home than this TV will.

How do you feel about privacy of your TV activity vs PC/browser activity? Do you consider your viewing habits on Hulu, for example, less sensitive than your viewing habits on your Comcast box (read Hulu privacy policy to notice relatively broad rights for personal and anonymous info). What if the TV policies and user options to control usage were similar to those provided by Facebook?

- Nigel Cooke
@Nigel very. Consumers will revolt. This is a problem with the chipset it sounds like. If Apple can't solve it with firmware, it takes away a major reason why people upgraded to the 3G phone.
- Steve Rubel
I have the original iPhone and it drops calls a lot--especially when I'm in a cell area where there's lots of cell traffic (such as near a large business at drive times--often right around the 3 minute mark in a call). The iPhone also crashes too much for my taste. I think all if not most of these are software issues. I'm guessing that there's more of the same with the 3G--at least...

its not the chip, its the tower... blame the carrier.. Sub std usage of 3g chips , it would not be qualified std for firmware.. period. Get a grip.. this is firmware and goes thru intensive QA prior to being qualified as a producer/production level chip, let alone being used in the iPhone !!
- Peter Dawson
I am not having any more problems than I always had with the first iPhone
- Francine Hardaway
I live in Chicago and have tons of connection problems with my 3G iphone. The apple store blames AT&T and suggested that I turn off my 3G. I was not amused. The At&T Store replaced my SIM card, pointed to the coverage map and told me it was not a problem. Perhaps we could just start to chant that the "3G iPhone is not wearing any clothes." since both apple and AT&T both denied that there was a "real" connection issue.

This sounds a lot like the problems I have experienced since AT&T took over my provider and I switched from a 2g phone to 3g. Connection issues galore where I never had problems before. I think it's AT&T, not Apple.
- Jess
Steve, when do you believe this would happen?
- Eric Hill
If true, Steve, that would be (obviously) huge. And to think - whether it's the network or the phone that is the problem here - users are being charged a considerable premium for this so-called "service" - in the neighborhood of $15-30 more per month, depending on the plan.
- Anthony Citrano
Also, see: http://discussions.apple.com/thread... -- apparently here in LA, AT&T is telling people to just "turn off 3G" and it all works fine. Hmm. Isn't 3G why most people bought it?

Sounds like it might be time to sell my Apple stock?
- Louis Gray
I'm pretty unhappy in general with the iPhone. I get dropped calls on average every third call. 3G reception is poor at best, even though I spend 100% of my time in central Sydney. And the battery life... please don't get me started on the battery life. I'm actually beginning to regret buying this Apple product - and I'm a PC user - one of the very people Apple tries to lure with cross over products such as the iPhone.

My 3G reception here in the UK on O2 is terrible. I'd been blaming it on O2 but maybe it's a wider problem. That said, when I was in Japan (where I had to be on 3G to get any reception) I had no problems. Still 3G is such a battery hog that I leave it off most of the time in the UK.
- Martin Bryant
3G coverage on my iPhone is very poor around the waterfront in San Francisco as well as around Union Square, two areas that I find myself in alot. It's also pretty bad in Oakland around the BART line which where I'd think it would make the most sense to have a good signal.
- Thomas Hawk
I've had to restart my phone a couple of times when after beign on for a day or so it didn't pick up a GPS signal but most places i've used my phone in London I've not really had a problem getting 3G, admittidly I've not erally taken the phone out of central London so far.

Agree, But I feel the content is greater and easier to post and reply in a room, just less pictures and user sigs +1 for FF rooms!
- Tony C.
Agree, Yet w/ a system for adding media and links.
- Czar
The feeds are critical part of the rooms feature.
- Ontario Emperor
These rooms feel more like "a wall" to me. I like the integration with media and links.
- Kathleen Gilroy
I guess you trade the lack of formatting and images for not getting 6 inch high .sigs... even trade? hmm...
- felix
There's also a lack of indented replies or quoting, which keeps the discussions from growing huge. Trade against that the sheer ease of commenting .

As soon as Disqus gets Friendfeed integration, I couldn't see why it wouldn't head in that direction.

Profile Page: I'd like to create a public profile page. Just something short and not complex, but most importantly would provide links automatically to the sources I am sharing. Then I'd have a full profile page I can send people to.

What would you guys like to see included in a profile?
- Ross Miller
All of the services, maybe add a description to each blog feed. A short about me area (textbox, nothing special). If tags are ever introduced, then the personal tag cloud, quick links to my likes and comments. Basically, what's in the sidebar on the "Me" page, plus an area to add a small description of myself and what content types one can expect from my feeds.
- xero
yes, please add at least a small textbox to the "me" page and the mouseover so we can at least write who we are and how to contact us
- Gaby K. Slezák
I think the most important things would be a short message box (as Gaby Benkwitz described) and the option to add at least one site link (preferably with an XFN-friendly rel="me" tag)
- d<3vid seaward
@Ross : photo, short bio, location, and what services we import as live links, optional contact info. i like twitter's bio page. ff should just add our list of imported items with links

Nice. This is the first time I've seen a flash audio player embedded in FF. We have to let FF know they need to include a pop-out option to open the audio in a new window. As soon as I clicked LIKE. The audio stopped and it sent the item back to the top of my list.
- Kevin Shannon
Big fan of Utterz myself. Go, utter, be heard...
- Todd Jordan
@Granteezy I think the FF page refreshes automatically. It may have refreshed and that's why it stopped playing. Google reader has a pop-out function under embedded audio so you can keep it playing in it's own window. That would be good. So far I have not seen much audio on FF.
- Kevin Shannon
its still down..................

How did you embed this Flash-Player, Robert ?
- Ryo / Fuck Facebook
@Kevin: we will look into this. We have a day devoted to bug-fixing on Wednesday, and I will make sure this happens.

We started putting a player for all posts that include media enclosures or audio in MediaRSS, so all podcasts should have play buttons now.

Utterz is the easiest way to post audio from any phone. They have also paid attention to user input from the start and have built their service to work well.

I dont use my twitter or jaiku accounts but i did try utterz awhile ago, and i like to talk more then type and rather listen then read, and that was pretty nice to do, if we can @ talk for a min and also attach news stories or what have you then it would be cool to see a flock of users to its community, I'd like to see how communication evolves in the upcoming years...will twitter ever make some drastic changes, other then 3rd party support they have stayed the same for the most part, right?

There are so many new services. Thus, we run to each new service, play around for a bit and then quickly abandon it. FF is the exception, however. :-) Great article.

To the point in your post about owning your FriendFeed, couldn't agree more. I wish WordPress was more like FriendFeed. A widget in the sidebar or an import of FF comments just doesn't do it for me. Had no clue when reading the first list of comments on your blog what the heck Scoble was talking about until I realized he was referring to comments over here on FriendFeed.

Dave, glad to see you on FriendFeed, it is great having your feedback here on things.
- Thomas Hawk
Igor, no -- I think it's about Scoble. I don't really know Shel very well, met him a few times over the years. JC's complaint with me appears to be that I wrote a bad review of Mahalo. If something else is bothering him, I wish he'd say what it is, without all the BS about meds, and mental hygiene and puppets. It's really unbecoming of a CEO who wishes to be taken seriously. When have you seen a CEO behave this way -- in public?
- Dave Winer
I personally do not see Mahalo as a viable search engine, even though Scoble claims it is to replace Google. SEOmoz Rand Fishkin called Scoble's opinion on search engines moronic! I grew up in the same neighborhood as Jason around the same people, so I know his ways. Nothing new! Give him a CEO title but he is still a Gumba!
- Igor The Troll יִצְחָק
I grew up in NY long before JC was even a zygote -- and I don't think it's tough to hire a comedian to taunt people. It's like hiding behind your mothers' skirt. I think he's a child, a baby, very immature. Not a tough guy. Not even slightly tough.
- Dave Winer
I'd spend way more time on FF if I could change the unreadable light-grey-text-on-white format. It kills my eyes. The conversations may be good, but the UI is horrid

Ok Dave nice I see the picture clearly. When Loren first came out with criticism of Shel it was valid because of how Shel did the video interview, it was inane. So Loren goes making fun of Shel, which was funny at first. I told Learn enough, chill out. WTF you want from the guy, So he blocked me on Twitter, and then on FF. Loren is a real Tool. Did Jason get him, probably yes, the guy is sponsoring him.
- Igor The Troll יִצְחָק
Shel is not really a fighter and does not know how to stand up for himself, which is sad, because you need to have steal balls to deal with this guerrilla warfare. I say best thing keep all of this out in the open and let the community decide. People are not blind, they know who is sincere and who is a Flaming Troll like Loren.

@felix thanks for the details... myself, I'm at least hoping for some API support. it would obviously be nice to have a searchable directory of sorts to find rooms. its really tough to know what's out there now and i'd hate to duplicate a topic if its already in existence and there's an active community participating. looks like FF didn't care much for this when they launched the feature
