what happened in the pre show ? - Mark

mark, catch it on the odtv version in a day or two, i'm sure they'll have it - Chris Heath

stickem's been down for some reason, but bitgravity works - Zane Blandish

Niche shows like TWiT just can't get anywhere in the mainstream, unfortunately. - Ghworg

but niche marketing brings higher ad revenue per viewer... and that makes up for it... leo also likes the higher quality of the audience (ie we're more involved) - Chris Heath

gdgt.com - Shane Burgess

Errrr..... 'DP' just makes me giggle cause on the Internet, it means a whooooooole different thing. - Johnny

That is just insane - Glenn Slaven

effective?? hahah - Andrew Fontes

thats a joke. - Andrew Fontes

i can't watch mainstream - Preternat (Ken Cadby)

too stressful :) - Preternat (Ken Cadby)

I so want Veronica and Ryan puppets now, that idea is genius. - Ghworg

"In Russia, The Kilo Bits you..." - Guy Dossett

the Mondello guy in the "Don't Copy that Floppy" wasn't just a guy using bittorrent. He was selling pirated software on ebay. So he was taking people's money for pirated software. http://www.reuters.com/article... - jccalhoun

But don't we also complain about companies that keep track of us? (i.e. the Pre phoning home) - Johnny

how we doing so far? - Jason Calacanis

awesome Jason - Greg

Good job Jason, more russian! - Joel Lovato

Russian jokes were lame, otherwise pretty good - notagolfer

Epic - Johnny

does the blackberry "phone home"? - Greg

Great as always, we've missed you Jason! ;-) - Ben

iFlame Thrower - Johnny

What about self-destruct ? - kenneth glenn

Oh boy, Audible time! - Eric Geller

Audible baby! - Ben

Niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice segway... - Johnny

get ready to tweet a big thanks to audible - Greg

Damn, coming up to midnight, wish TWIT was on earlier for us Brits! - Ben

Thanks for the upgrade Jason, I'm pretty low to no income college students - kenneth glenn

what about us lower income people? ;-P - Chris Heath

Please sir, can I have some more audiobooks? - Johnny

I had to go down to the gold plan for audible :( - kenneth glenn

good one Johnny - Chris Heath

I got a trial of audible from Twit and had to keep it. Reading what would google do now - Shane Burgess

Which half? - Johnny

Put the HobNob down! - Ben

Clear And Present Dunking - Johnny

When you have a national healthcare system all you have left to worry about is biscuit accidents. - Ghworg

lets play true or poo - HansVanRock

Do not talk about the cheese shuttle, that information is classified. - Ghworg

*hits the eject button* - Johnny

Love that new Sony piece of $h!t - Ben

You guys are killing me here..... - Roberto Bonini

You have to wear pants in the TWiT Cottage?... oh... - Johnny

Jason almost broke into his Christopher Walken :P - Johnny

Long pants are optional. - George Brickner

I've used MalwareBytes Anti-Malware (in safe mode w/ networking) to clean 4 computers in the last couple weeks - they've all been caught by this malicious ad (or group of ads) - Chris Heath

I hope they put a HD video camera in the iPod Touch. Flip Mino/iPod Nano - Flip HD/iPod Touch HD - Johnny

lol I love TWiTs like this - Mark

TWiT should make you smile - Mark

Johnny: That would make my day. - Eric Geller

Do you guys think the touch was suppose to have a camera? - Andrew Fontes

Not every iPod is sold in the States. Here in Australia, FM is still king - Johnny

good point johnny... i know a lot of people who listen to the radio too here in the us - Chris Heath

It's not a controversy, nobody expects Steve Jobs to admit that Apple had a problem with camera on iPod Touch and removed it last moment. - notagolfer

Isn't it about access? If you dump on a company long enough, they will just stop inviting you. It's a balance - Johnny

showtunes are clearly not ethical :) - Jay Cuthrell from BuddyFeed

Delaying for a HD camera? - Johnny

“So what we were focused on is just reducing the price to $199. We don’t need to add new stuff. We need to get the price down where everyone can afford it.” — SJ - notagolfer

There probably was an HD camera issue. I think it is obvious there was either a tech issue. Has anyone seen the iTouch 3.1.1 firmware? - kenneth glenn

a 3g RF amp in CMOS means that we have much slimmer and cheaper shiny things on the way... voids today are pickups for feature or svelt - Jay Cuthrell from BuddyFeed

I have the iTouch firmware 3.1.1 on my 1st gen iPod Touch. - George Brickner

the iphone form factor is destined to become jewelry - Jay Cuthrell

Adrian... I think that is a good point. All the $$ of the app store without the hassle of AT&T. Put a data-only 3G sim card slot and Apple wins - Johnny

When good twits.... turn bad - Glenn Williams

Ryan Block, keeping it classy. Or trying to. - Kevykev

It is also about a single voice. If you only go to David for your Apple news then you are foolish. The web facilitates a range of voices. The NYT's is just another URL - Johnny

We need a website that aggregates user ratings! wait a minute... - Brad Connell

Super Poking right into my brain - Johnny

Ah, Citrix - Jay Cuthrell

If facebook enhances intelligence and twitter diminishes it, what does TWiT do? - Ghworg

Ghworg, let's put it this way: at least you can talk to famous people on Twitter. - Eric Geller

I know, TWiT screws with your intelligence! :-) - Ghworg

I wonder how much Webex/Cisco would pay to displace GoToMeeting/Citrix from the ad slots here. - Jay Cuthrell

Except in real life, it's called stalking - Johnny

Pretexting - Jay Cuthrell

jay... gotomeeting is citrix - Chris Heath

chris - yes - Jay Cuthrell

and Webex is Cisco - Jay Cuthrell

so why would cisco compete w/ itself for ads? [edit: for some reason i was mind-melding cisco and citrix into one company ... my bad] - Chris Heath

This is when Loren was born - notagolfer

cisco doesn't advertise on Twit does it? - Jay Cuthrell

I like the iPhone app for Webex... Cisco did a good job on that - Jay Cuthrell

i have a gotoassist account for tech support - Chris Heath

wow... Performa reference - Jay Cuthrell

'Middle Income'? - Johnny

I miss my Duo 230 - Jay Cuthrell

NeXT cube flopticals - Jay Cuthrell

Steve Jobs is a control freak with good taste. - Ghworg

I like the way that Steve Jobs put in a plug for human body part donations. - shelter watch

I base all my presentations on the 'Job-ian Way' - Johnny

Howard Hughes? - Johnny

having vision and having visions is a thin thin line - Jay Cuthrell

Bill would keep adjusting his shorts - Johnny

Bobby Knight! - Jay Cuthrell

I can throw sheep at a Mensa level... - Johnny

What happens to the Skype Test Call Lady? - Johnny

The only true test call lady is Allison Smith :) http://www.theivrvoice.com/ - Jay Cuthrell

Jason's right -- the what if's are the opp but the botched owner fit hindered the if's. - Jay Cuthrell

OneGear1972: But what is a better alternative? - BRҰANSAҰS

Then there is Xiaonei in China. - Jay Cuthrell

My mum and dad use Facebook. Twitter means nothing to them - Johnny

Johnny - the mom/dad on FB is a powerful concept. - Jay Cuthrell

Best twit of 2009 - Mark from iPhone

Wish I was in California. I want to be part of the TWIT live studio audience. - Chris Charabaruk

Mark: I agree one of the better ones. - BRҰANSAҰS

Hmm.. I'm in town for TC50. I didn't know there was a live studio audience. Heh. - Jay Cuthrell

There is no live studio audience :) - notagolfer

Almost a show title - Johnny

Kinda like Google Voice? - Jay Cuthrell

Jay: except you don't have ONE number - notagolfer

Johnny and the Mothers are playing "Stompin' at the Savoy" in Vermont tonight. (guess that voice transcription reference) - Jay Cuthrell

OneGear: I thought you can use your checking account without using a credit card on paypal? - BRҰANSAҰS

Bryan: Only if you have an account. - Chris Charabaruk

This show is awesome! - Chris

http://www.charitywater.org/ - Jay Cuthrell

I love the idea of charitywater. How cool is that? I take our well here for granted. - shelter watch

gdgt.com seems awesome, but I'd be embarrassed to use it. I got practically nothing in gadgets. :( - Chris Charabaruk

"Leo has sixteen gadgets and wants nothing." -- Chris has no gadgets and wants EVERYTHING. - Chris Charabaruk

Nice! http://twitter.com/Jason... - Jay Cuthrell

Puppet Jason sounds like the Laslo guy that used to come on late night infomercials - kenneth glenn

WTF was that I just saw? - Chris Charabaruk

That much is obvious. That doesn't mean I know what it was. :p - Chris Charabaruk

that was a lot of ground covered - Jay Cuthrell

I'm just glad there was no nudity - Jay Cuthrell

Possibly one of the best TWiTs of the eyar - kenneth glenn

@kenneth i agree - Chris

heh - Jay Cuthrell

except @Chris I can't type. - kenneth glenn

I think this episode was a 12 (reference to the beginning) - kenneth glenn

I wish I was in California. Miss so much cool stuff in the "armpit of Texas" - BRҰANSAҰS

OneGear1972: Click the red show chat button on the live.twit.tv - BRҰANSAҰS

BTW, OneGear knows how I feel. He is stuck here too. :) - BRҰANSAҰS

You need a dump button. - shelter watch

OneGear: I'm holding you to that LoL - BRҰANSAҰS

Good episode, was worth the late night. - Lloyd Hughes

I love listening to the "After Show" talk as well. - BRҰANSAҰS

Adam Savage did the talk about failure recently... at defcon and maker faire - Alex Brown

TMI. - shelter watch

Don't forget the California Assemblymember Mike Duvall lesson: the 'mike is always hot'. - shelter watch

One of the best TWiT's. Loren Feldman as John C. Dvorak, Jason Calacanis as himself, and Ryan Block as Tom Merritt. - Kevykev

They should record the After Twit conversations and post it as an extra podcast. They could monetize the extra shows. There are a lot of good candid moments afterwards. - BRҰANSAҰS

love the show, but *way way* too many sponsor ads on this episode:( - Mark Rahmani

one sponsor per half hour is normal, and this show was over 2 hours... i think that's pretty fair - Chris Heath

ANOTHER annoying useless Jason Calacanis name dropping episode. And who is this butt-kissing "comic" with him? Jason Calacanis may be a great computer entrepreneur, but he's a lousy interview to listen to for more than 5 mins. - Gregg Hudson

ANOTHER annoying useless Gregg Hudson comment. And who does he think he is dissing Loren Feldman like that? Gregg Hudson may be a great guy that nobody's ever heard of, but he's a lousy friendfeeder, with only one social connection, and this one lonely comment. ;-P - Chris Heath

Just heard the show !! I'm an Indian listening from India and I agree.... you guys really crack me up with that Indian accent. Dvorak, for once, does it better than you Leo - Raseel

Raseel, i don't think dvorak was doing any of the voices - check the video at http://odtv.me - Chris Heath

FYI, on the Nano FM thing and local radio - actually BOTH the Falcons and Braves are aired in Atlanta on FM in large, mainstream stations on the weekends. - j0nydzine
