Not a good sign. But I hope Twitter signaling its commitment to improving the stability of its service will give developers a bit more confidence in the platform. - Chris Baskind

the share form on friendfeed is hard to edit. I find it easier to write text on twitter still - AnotherⓃⓄⒶⒽ

Ontario yes, I think it will have a greater effect. However the stability i'm referring to is less related to architecture and more related to process. Its things like removing things with no notice and not testing code before pushing out and not notifying devs of pushes that is the real problem. - Jesse Stay via fftogo

Quick tip: I wouldn't come with three phones to the UK. Over here the police thinks if you have more than one phone you are a terrorist: http://www.met.police.uk/campa... http://www.met.police.uk/campa... - Benjamin Kohler

Qik doesn't REQUIRE 3G, but the quality is better, so you could use the N82 without 3G. - Steve Garfield via twhirl

You need an assistant to carry your phones. Wait! Which phone will you use to call your assistant? - TranceMist

"The Smart Car vending machine holds a full sized Smart car inside. You can choose from 2 different models, the coupe and the cabrio. When you look at the slot to insert your money, it calls for around $20,000 dollars. What’s cool about this vending machine is that it actually works. No, you don’t get a car when you push the button, but you get a Smart Car tube filled with pamphlets, dealer information, and a sheet of Smart Car stickers. Via Trends in Japan." - Russellreno

Too bad you can't get the car out of the machine. That would be awesome. - SciFi Ranter Girl

that is excellent. :D - edythe

@Trancemist Yeah, I'm sure he's blaming himself. All the way to the bank, via his penthouse apartment, no doubt. - Ian Betteridge

selling to Yahoo was the right thing to do. There are few things in life more important than personal financial freedom. But Yahoo *could* have used Flickr to be the springboard to truly dominate social search and they bungled that. Could have bought digg, could have tied it all together. With Yahoo's bungling social search, FF remains the most viable candidate to succeed at social search here and now today. - Thomas Hawk

"A. If Daisy Duke were the half-sister of both her Uncle Billy Bob, who never had children outside of the immediate family, and her Aunt Lilly Mae who was married to her Cousin Jethro, what would you say her relationship is to Billy Bob and Lilly Mae's illegitimate son Bucky?" - Russellreno

What? No Kool and the Gang? - Ontario Emperor via fftogo

I like Mr. Brightside I think that is a wicked song! - Joe Dawson

Many on the list are great, I just dig the writing - Michael W. May via twhirl

"This year, however, proponents of same-sex marriage have found encouragement in both the California Supreme Court decision and in a subsequent order by Gov. David A. Paterson of New York, instructing agencies in his state to recognize same-sex marriages performed legally elsewhere. The California court has also rebuffed several challenges to its May 15 decision, made by two conservative legal groups and by Republican attorneys general who fear that the California marriages will lead to legal challenges brought in their own states." - Bret Taylor

@Forrest: The genius of our system of government lies in its checks and balances. In particular, an unfettered democracy would be subject to the problem of the "tyranny of the majority". Fortunately this is offset by our Constitution and our courts, whose job is to ensure that individual rights are not trampled on, no matter how unpopular that individual may be, for whatever reason. Any bigots playing the victim card are ignorant of basic civics. - Ruchira S. Datta

@Ruchira I agree. The Cali court is playing exactly its Constitutional role, and it's essentially a conservative and Federalist approach to reconciling changing societal mores and the demands of a minority. As I've commented elsewhere, we are winning this argument, and we're doing it state by state, rather than through a Federal fiat, which simply is not feasible at this time. All good things... - Rick Powell

David: It is still incredible. - Russellreno

"David Gergen just made a good point on CNN about John McCain: We all laughed when the Republican presidential candidate said he didn't use a Mac OR a PC, and that his second wife did all his internet surfing for him, but McCain's luddite tendencies are screwing up his campaign and thus could wreck the country someday. Exhibit A is Clayton Williams, who was to host a McCain fundraiser but who was discovered to have once made a crass rape joke. It turns out the rape joke has long been in Williams' Wikipedia entry, ranked number three by Google in a search on Williams' name. Whoops! McCain clearly needs to learn The Google. As internet-savvy Barack Obama can testify after his jettisoning of vice-presidential-screener James Johnson, it won't weed out all the tainted associates, but it's great for that critical first cut." - Russellreno

"Oh no. Crack princess Amy Winehouse has taken a fall!" - Russellreno

No problem, I did it for myself. I was frustrated at not being able to find rooms. :) I hoped to leverage the power of the crowds to build this bad boy - I'm sure that eventually FriendFeed will do something to make this obsolete, but for at least a short while it could be good. :) - felix

ARGH App Engine!! It has like no data and still... Methinks I need some memcaching going on, apologies for this. - felix

good luck with that, felix! - Phil Glockner

The conversation on cnet's "indecent exposure" photo podcast is a little dry, but its also new. They dont quite have as much fun as buzzoutloud yet. And TPN - The digital photography show is making a comeback, after being down for a month or so. - InsaneNinja

PhotoCycle is video and some of the stuff that This Week In Photography is in video. - Robert Scoble
