The WebKit in Chrome is the full version. It's completely open source, both Google and Apple work on it - x5315

I'm just waiting for Wolfram Alpha to be integrated into Twitter/Facebook :p - Phopo Jijo

Googe's 11th: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009... - Leo Laporte

Twitterfall uses Cassandra for some of their stuff. Talk about scale! - x5315

Cassandra is the future x5315 - Eric Florenzano

yeh, i work at Twitterfall :p - x5315

TWIT FF page up at last! - Ben

Yes i think Google unforked Webkit back in may - Bruce Segal

The reason that Chrome was sometimes faster than Safari was because Chrome used a later build. - x5315

Leo seems extremely distracted by something. - Maxx Cho

Yeah he explained it earlier -- death threat -- probably shouldn't bring it up though - Phopo Jijo

Light Peak is the way to go. - Michel

Sounds like Dvorak has dropped off. Always issues with him. Blurry webcam, no headphones (echo), now no webcam. He should really know better by now. - Ben

Forget USB 3.0...Light Peak is the future! - Chris

Light Peak was also an Apple product - http://www.appleinsider.com/article... - x5315

How long till the phones get it? - Johnny

Light peak is cool, because of the need for a universal port for video, peripherals. - Kevykev

USB and FireWire have power, i hope Light Peak will have it too - x5315

I have an SSD in my Dell Mini 9. Waiting for my next computer buy till SSDs are affordable - Johnny

It shouldn't be hard -- just +5v two little wires... Direct Current too... - Phopo Jijo

My Macbook Air with SSD boots much faster than my Macbook Pro 17" I just bought - Ray H

Well FireWire is 30V :p - x5315

Lets face, Dvorak just throws pipebombs in the room and ducks... - Phopo Jijo

John C. Dvorak - Tells it how it is. - x5315

Unibody MBPs manufactured after June are sealed. They no longer have the battery compartment. - Kevykev

This just in -- Paint Shop Pro adoption went through the roof :p - Phopo Jijo

What if you use the GIMP? - Devon Blugh from twhirl

Do they even still make that? - x5315

This Week in Accents - Kevykev

Very interesting tech there, Leo. - Michel

John's pro at makeup. - x5315

John's pro at everything. - Michel

I went to the FOWA tour in April, it was really cool and then FOWD tour this month. - x5315

But she has spent so much on beauty treatments over the years etc. Not a level playing field. - Johnny

First-timer here, so this chat is basically the call-in for the live show? - Mark

Not a call it, just chat between members. - Michel

Ah, thanks guys. - Mark

Tech news? http://digg.com/d315hed - Michel

Reminds me of Cuil :p - Phopo Jijo

Dvorak = Jobs Scientifically proven. - Mark

I thought Leo was going to ask Kevin about FitBit a while back... - Devon Blugh from twhirl

They say that getting enough sleep is one of the keys to weight loss. If you're not sleeping enough, or getting enough water intake to be hydrated, supposedly it makes it harder to lose weight. - shelter watch

They ship on October 31. - shelter watch

LOL, circa 1989 my old cell phone weighed about 10 lbs. and it was in a box. - shelter watch

Apple has a multitouch patent - January 2009 - Bruce Segal

Yes - Johnny

Lol. That was the best story of its time. - Michel

But, I have helped 6 people sign up for Twitter in the past 2 weeks who have no tech savvyness (just Facebook) . Just cause the numbers don't match the stereotypes doesn't necessarily make them untrue. - Johnny

Scoble did a list of people who SHOULD be on the SUL... But no one I know would follow any of those people. Twitter has broken out of the Valley Bubble and is now the E Channel. - Johnny

We usually have a lot more people on FF during TWiT... - Michel

Weighted Users - Johnny

I don't care about any SUL. If I have absolutely no interest in you, or if you haven't said anything even remotely interesting in the past few tweets, (I don't need to know what you had for breakfast) I'm not following you. - Devon Blugh from twhirl

So much for 45 minutes :p - Phopo Jijo

YES! Not everyone has an iPhone or a web enabled phone. - Johnny

But will I be able to see it outside the US? Your networks have a habit of 'region protecting' stuff like this... Hulu, NBC etc... - Johnny

Good question,Johnny. - Devon Blugh from twhirl

Thanks guys. Great show... BEST TWIT EVER! The shark remained unjumped once again :P - Johnny

TWSS! Win - Johnny

Top five twits of the year for sure - Mark from iPhone

Audible pick: The Accidental Billionaires by Ben Mezrich, http://www.audible.com/adbl... - Leo Laporte

"Low Cut Tops" - Johnny

I enjoyed as usual. - Dave Hoffman / N3PRO from twhirl

"I have no contract" - Johnny

Great Show... title could've been "Kevin's Sonic toothbrush", although a minor story - John Hoffer

"I Find It Elitist" - Johnny

LOL - Johnny

Its probably NOT the same guy "HDTV dude" is probably a common name. - Chris

Sept. 28th? FlashForward? - Hector

Kevin goes makupfree, Patrick has no contract and Dvorak is a private dick - Johnny

Oh I see :) - Hector

Dvorak goes retro - John Hoffer

"And Dvorak... well, he's just Dvorak" - Johnny

Let's hope they really are just taking down existing clips in preparation for their new retro site. But I agree that they should just leave them all up and link back to their HQ versions - Hector

This week's tease: Kevin Rose goes makeup free, Patrick Norton files his first lawsuit, and Dvorak goes retro. TWiT is next - Leo Laporte

Leo, good luck with finding out the scumbag. Our prayers are with you and your family. - Devon Blugh from twhirl

Yes good luck Leo and otherwise have a great week all TWIT viewers! - John Hoffer

When/where are the teasers used? - Lasse Reiersen-Gravdal

Thanks for letting us see you work Leo... This type of experience is invaluable :) - Johnny

Bill: Google 'Australian Bandwidth' and you'll find your answer :P - Johnny

Oh it's horrible over here. - Michel

I don't know how I can survive on 25GB a month, yet, I still do. - Michel

900MB a day is not too bad if you just surf and email . No torrents - Mark from iPhone

And basically no TWiT Live. - Michel

Can you please specify how you put two disks into macBook Pro ? - Petr Cervenka

Petr, you can buy caddies to replace the superdrive that will hold the second disk in. Since Leo hardly ever used his, it was a good option for him - Johnny

Petr http://www.mcetech.com/optibay... The new MCE OptiBay Hard Drive was created for users who want as much hard drive space as possible inside their MacBook Pro, MacBook, PowerBook G4... and now the Mac mini. Period. The MCE OptiBay Hard Drive replaces your machine's internal SuperDrive with a high performance SATA hard drive up to 500GB... or get just the OptiBay Hard Drive enclosure and use your own 2.5" SATA hard drive. - Rodzilla

Thanks for the audible tip. I have now go Dan Browns latest book worth $25 on my ipod for free! - tony swales

Regarding the SSD, is it really needed to have 128GB as the system disk? Surely 64GB as system disk and 320 or 500GB as the other disk would be just as useful and fast but much cheaper. Does anyone know if Dell does a converter like this? - tony swales

So great to see this whole group together. In terms of G4 hosting the TechTV video archives, they use Brightcove for their video hosting. My company uses them as well and we pay a hefty flat rate for unlimited transfers and storage. I presume that G4 has the same deal, so they can post as much as they want without incurring any additional expense or having to worry about traffic. - Alex Cutadean
