The U.S. death toll surged fourfold from 16,263 in 1976-77 to 64,684 in 1998-99, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported. Flu deaths now average about 36,000 a year, up from 20,000 in previous estimates, the CDC said. -- http://www.cbsnews.com/stories...

- Pavel Perez
pavel, or you could get the twit.am iphone app

I rarely get sick, and I attribute it to not spending much time in planes, never touching anything in public washrooms, and washing my hands often, throughout the day
- Phil Essing
When did MS start selling computer hardware other than mice and keyboards unlike Apple who do sell the o/s and hard ware
- Greg
the twit.am iphone app is the best way to listen to twit... also has a lot of other stuff... the twit calendar, links and the irc chat too
- Chris Heath
@Matthew Click on the timestamp for the post, then again when the single page comes up

twit-conversations In Minority Report, Tom Cruise couldn´t enter in the room with the psychics using his eye... C´mon, in the future, if he already was being searched for the Police, his authorization had to be expired earlier that moment ;)

Yeah, it's not a mini-window, but a dedicated window for the thread
- Phil Essing
These companies always act like that. Look at MS and Sony in the console space trying to talk about how well they're doing, even though the Wii is kicking butt.
- Matthew
Wall Street's expectations are ridiculous. It's not good news.
- Francine Hardaway
Ummm... is this now TWiB? (This Week in Booze?) ;-)

Leo Apple makes money on hardware How much OSX did they sell?
- Greg
What about the kid that downloaded the Billionth App
- johnpiercy
downtown minneapolis last night. i swear 1/4 people had iPhones out messing around
- john crane
Perhaps it's the other 297million people in the country who are suffering.
- Ken Sheppardson
Yeah, those are people who now have phone service for the first time ever.
- Ken Sheppardson
They have landlines, just those specific people didn't. ;-)
- Ken Sheppardson
fritz I can do 50 wpm on the iPhone. definitely serviceable

The size of the market for ANYTHING in India is huge.
- Francine Hardaway
Netbooks = people realizing they don't need 4GB, 3MHz, and a 1TB computer to browse the web and run Quicken.
- Ken Sheppardson
India has a shortage of everything -- including schools for all the people who want to be educated
- Francine Hardaway
Does the TWiT conversations group show up for anyone body in their list of subscribed groups in the Beta? It doesn't for me but it's there in the regular FF.
- Matthew
Dell Mini 9 are $50au in Australia with Vodaphone
- Alan Burchill
State of the art PC technology from 2005 (i.e. a 2009 netbook) is probably sufficient for what 90% of the population does on a computer
- Ken Sheppardson
Matthew beta friendfeed has a problem with Twit Conversations.,. it will not show up in the separate Groups catergory
- Greg
in a years time your specs are outdated ken. do you still call it a netbook then?
- Jamie
They should do what MS are going to do with Phone Store...
- Alan Burchill
twit-conversations here in Brazil, the price of an IPhone is outreageous!
- Daniel Wolff
from IM
the netbook for me is ALL about form factor. the hardware specs just happen to fall within those boundaries because MS doesnt allow more powerful HW for the cheap XP license they sell the OEMs
- Jamie
But if Microsoft locked it down to only allow approved apps everyone would cry foul
- Alan Burchill
Everybody in the US and possibly Japan bought an NES, the rest of the world not so much.
- Ghworg
who is catherine hall and why is she on twit. is this twip now
- Zach Scott
Zach: This is TWiT, Catherine's one of five guests.
- Ken Sheppardson
Hulu is easier to use in the US. Torrents are still easier than getting around the geo-restrictions on hulu.
- Ghworg
only shows I toorent are bbc shows because bbc iplayer no workie in the US
- Gunny Wallen
just wondering. normally they a technology pundit on
- Zach Scott
It really kills me that people complain about the quest..... she said he covered here name and copyright sign on the photo, basically claiming it was their work.
- Michael King
Jason Calacanis completely blacks out international downloads. Hulu, ABC and the likes are _NOT_ available to non-US countries.
- Ian BERNARDO
definitely understand the bbc thing, I need primevil and robin hood
- Gary Prechtel
I think we've passed a crucial point - the pay for movie/music model is finished
- Jamie
i think people just do not want to pay for music that is no good. Good music is still making money its things like britney spears that are most pirated
- Michael King
and i dont think it has anything to do with the moral decline of society
- Jamie
its not I was just saying they have it on their website so I don't see a problem with getting from a torrent so we can watch it. Example is primevil is finally available to buy so I bought the first 2 seasons. When it comes to series tv I think it only promotes there shows.
- Gary Prechtel
twit-conversations how is Jay Leno, by the way? I´ve read somewhere he was in the hospital or something....
- Daniel Wolff
from IM
I watch movies via PPV or streaming from netflix now. I USED to download movies to watch them, but now that I have HDTV I want quality
- Gunny Wallen
when i hear people outraged at a song price-point of $1.29, when they claim $0.99 is more reasonable, I have to question how genuine they are being
- Phil Essing
Phil: Yeah, I'd say the demand curve's pretty flat in the $0.99-$1.29 range. Now if you cut that by an order of magnitude... it'd be a whole different ballgame.
- Ken Sheppardson
The problem is with the content owners. If they make it available through legitimate sources. The vast majority will pay.
- archaictree
gunny i agree i used to download movies then moved to netflix and haven't looked back. so much easy to pay for it then to hunt for a good copy on a torrent site
- Michael King
Jason: It ends up, like, on your blog though, right? :-)
- Ken Sheppardson
now back in the day I was a Napster FREAK, but there wasnt anywhere to PAY for digital downloads at the time
- Gunny Wallen
Sure, Ken, but I wonder how low the price can be while remaining profitable
- Phil Essing
Gary right now there isnt much streaming content, but wat is tehre looks great on my xbox 360
- Gunny Wallen
ken, i didn't know he put them up there... hmm
- Chris Heath
Thx Im waiting to switch until its better but worried about band caps if you watch a lot of movies
- Gary Prechtel
Ken, i have an xbox and never turn on the satelite anymore i almost always watch netflix.. good HD content if you have the bandwidth to support it
- Michael King
my parents will NEVER have a Twitter accounts
- Phil Essing
in the UK, ALL of the soccer games are on ustream
- Jamie
Gary funny story comcast was just here becuse they thought people were stealing our bandwidth cause of high usage, i had to explain that i live my life online. Streaming Video is running 24/7 here... they didnt like that to much
- Michael King
Jamie I think it's about the commercials. We even have TV timeouts for commercials. It is super annoying when you're actually at the game.
- Alex E Yockey
ad revenue for sports isn't as important here
- Jamie
How refreshing to hear your love of the internet and social media framed (or reframed) as a positive passion rather than a negative addiction. I'm SO glad to hear you talk about "loving it..."; how you "turn it on" when you get home from work. I'm the same way (altho' a consumer only, and not a producer). I don't need to berate myself for this (shared) passion...at least not to the same extent that I've been doing thus far; we ARE sitting in front seats to the "revolution," Leo. Thanks!
