I've been listening to Jonathan Zittrain lately and I really don't want a walled garden internet or non-internet. I thought we want to break these barriers down? I know that that old profit motive drives innovation on the one hand. But I want the game to get iterated some more if need be. I want the keys to my personal data. Please. And I want open platforms. Facebook needs to keep getting more cautious and concerned for the welfare of the planet not just their own bottom line. - Janet Tokerud via FriendFeed MT Plugin

I think it's great that the leading social network is looking for non-obtrusive ways to make money out of their service. + Banks and credit institutions are already doing it shamelessly. We've all been stripped of our "public privacy" a long time ago, so I don't really see the issue with Facebook Connect. - xavier vespa via FriendFeed MT Plugin

Crux of the mater is people get tired of signing up for every site that seems to be the next great one. It doesn't take a genius to see people flocking to every hyped beta site like rats to a piper. And facebook would soon have others gnawing at this 'connect' thing even as we are reading this. Oh, and web privacy is a myth. Deep down, people wan't to be connected - just a matter of choosing whom. But then that's where trouble starts. So can I add all of you as a facebook friend? :) Best. alain www.mor.ph - Alain Benedict Yap via FriendFeed MT Plugin

I don't see the fact that Facebook is privately owned as an issue. What I do see though as an issue is the creation of a monopoly, or presuming Google eventually gets serious in the space, a duopology of social graph conduits. Facebook wants to be everywhere, cementing an omnipresence that will make them difficult to dislodge by a new upstart and this may deliver that. The prospects of competition, and eventually real innovation dim. - Duncan Riley

I wasn't planning on getting an iPhone anyway, so it'll be of no consequence to me. - Morton Fox

CRY! - Kat

Keep on waiting for the Blackberry Bold. Even if they do release a new iPhone tomorrow... - Blake

I'm going to be majorly bummed and a little disgusted. It's hard to get it up for Apple rah rah if they don't deliver. These long drawn out things get old after awhile. - Janet Tokerud

aww myself and reach into my pocket to buy any other of steve's wonderfull products... aka the steve jobs tax - Antonio Checa

i will cry. well, not really. - Outsanity

They cannot not release it tomorrow. Apple doesn't care about short time stock prices (which will drop like a brick if he doesn't), but Apples main advantage is they have all the gadget and geeky blogs talking about it, Apple isn't going to leave that. If steve wasn't planning to showcase or release it, he is now, promise! ;) - Ashley Williams via Alert Thingy

There are so many good phones just around the corner, the htc diamond, xperia x1, blackberry bold.. and hopefully a new iphone - J. Phil

I'll start looking for deals on an N95 or a Bold. Same if the new iPhone doesn't shoot video. - Andy Sternberg

The question is if the new iPhone is limited to the 384kbps speed of 3G. What we all need is the new HSDPA speed of 3mbps or even better. - Danny M via Alert Thingy

I have to think the only people who like them are already mac folks (not to say all mac folks like them, just suggesting of the few folks who like them, most are already mac owners), which kind of misses the point of a commercial, no? - Dan Covington

It was "cute" at first... little humor... now it's just plain old and stupid - Bwana McCall

Why the hate? I still chuckle at them. They need an "I'm a Mac AND a PC" commercial. That'd be me. :D - Tad - just Tad

@Sarah politicians do that all the time - Thomas Ho via fftogo

Call me crazy. They still crack me up. It's more the acting than the message. - Cyndy

me too, Tad. :-) - Dawn M. Armfield

I like the commercials. What I don't like is the old iPod commercials with the overly energetic people. About the Mac commercials, the goal is to convert Windows users. Anyone thinking of buying a Vista PC will get the message. And it's true! - Mike Reynolds

Anything with John Hodgman is just fine with me. - Mark Trapp

I'm a lemming. - Ontario Emperor via fftogo

I really want to qualify this but I won't ... I'm with Cyndy. Like each one more than the last. A good piece of Apple's genius is in the marketing. The commercials are great. - Charlie Anzman

The 2008 ones haven't done that much for me. (http://www.apple.com/getamac/a...) Some of the older ones have classic punchlines though (e.g. "Choose a Vista," "Security") Maybe they'll have one at WWDC tomorrow? (btw running Vista on a MacBook here, so put me down in the "I'm a Mac AND a PC" camp) - Karim

The commercials are hilarious, but I'd still rather run Linux...LOL - Rahsheen(isSoAwesome)

I run Linux on a mac :) - directeur

i've got a mac and i still think the commercials are obnoxious - Ranjit Mathoda

As a Mac user since 1986, and a major fan of the products, I love those commercials. Sorry for the smug part, though. - Janet Tokerud

anythime you get big. you have a mass following of haterism. you liked them when they were the underdog. now you hate them cuz there getting to big XD - Caroline

Those ads don't have an "I'm Linux" guy. That's one problem. - Morton Fox

It's because the only person capable of portraying Linux would be Laurence Fishburne, and he won't do commercials. Hey, someone has to hand "PC" the pill. As for Mac... we'll, he's just Agent Smith. - Michael Beck

The first couple ones were funny -- now they just seem juvenile - Shey

@ Morton, wasn't there one with a "Linux" character? And it was a girl? - Iain Baker

"Agent Smith" - LOL! - MikeAmundsen
