I never did the IRC chat, just the Stickam chat - I guess I'm asking if the comment stream here is roughly equiv to the old Stickam chat.

Can we have a Macbreak Weakly Karaoke contest? with Andy as the MC?
- americanm
Haha ditto! New segment of MBW should be karaoke
- iGerard
It's when they talk about a link on Twit.tv!! ;) That's the secret!!
- Paul

Ah, click on the "Seconds Ago" link in the single window opens an even more svelte single window. Very minimal, very quick.
- Robert DeLaurentis
that's a *really* good point about the camera being hosed by a seemingly simple drop of the device.
- Brett Kelly
I've dropped my htc touch a dozen times and still going strong.

I sure would like a Google Voice invite (:

Shameless advertising on a friendfeed comment thread? Say it ain't so!
- Lucavex Ayanami
Hey Leo, dont forget it looks like the much anticipated Slingplayer is coming out tonight for the iPhone, WIFI only!
- Ricky Steven Isbell
Is there going to be a quad core put in the Macbook pro?
- Elliott Kieff
My wife tried to rent the Apple store in Pasadena for my 40th birthday party.. the Manager was so surprised that she was stumped for a reply..
- Gautam Godse
Gunny can one block just one member in chat. Let me know where you find it
- earl wallace
Hey guys, there's a rumor too with the MBP going quad-core. Leo, buy a MBP! link - http://bit.ly/HnLVF
- iGerard
think about it, the Apple Store is great for a party - it has a Genius bar to serve drinks and a screen to play slideshows, piped music and tables for food.. nice.. too bad they said no..
- Gautam Godse
I think the Mac mediapad/tablet or whatever is vaporware. Alex has been touting it for the last two years. I don't think it'll happen. At least not yet. I could be wrong.
- Mikael Johansson
It just feels like throwing the money away to me.
- blacklight
Rhapsody to go is $15/month. Can't keep any songs though
- pbombach
It is for me, Earl. I never use my ipod now, lol
- Scott Johnson
I had one of the original Zune's. I loved it for a long, long time. Could play any video, could do any MP3s, and held a charge for several hours. Days with limited use. The Zune is a great product.
- Lucavex Ayanami
If Microsoft made a Zune phone they would all brick every time a new phone is activated
- Elliott Kieff
Alex won't give up on subscriptions and tablet.
- Mike Getz
I would have bought an Iphone instaed of a BB Bold if AT&t would get off its behind and bring 3g here
- earl wallace
I just see it as, anything that is worth doing on an iphone that would normally require flash there is an app for, or a way of doing it. And if there is that "one thing," you have to have it for, take a 30 second trip to your computer
- Scott Johnson
I just wish I could get the Pre on my SERO everything I've seen says no go
- Gunny doesn't side-hug™
Blackberries are great! Then a week later you get rid of it and get an iphone!
- Scott Johnson
Biggest reason not to add flash...battery life. Otherwise, why not add flash?
- Paul Puri
Any Flash movie on my MacBook is the only item that turns on the cooling fans. Its got to be a an unoptimized mess under the hood.
- Robert DeLaurentis
Well if they glance down they should check out yappler.com/api, this guys offering a rich api for applications in the itunes app store, makes it easy to build custom apps/websites to search the app store
- Doug
YOu guys are talking about the iClicker thing. We use those in Nursing School. They would be cool if our instructors could get them to work :P
- Scott Johnson
Well, earl. I'd have to disagree. I can't take notes and rea them later, because it's too boring. Interractivity is the way I learn. I'm very tactile.
- Scott Johnson
Just giving us some kind of feature demo at WWDC and then an approximate ship date would be nice...
- Barry Wiseman
Using the app to record eveyones answers and let us do questions as a class is awesome
- Scott Johnson
well I see your point ..I guess the difference in perception is the generational teaching techniques of the past and now...lecture notes then, keyboarding notes in classroom now
- earl wallace
Right. And how one learns is also a huge factor. I learn best by doing things, while another learns best by reading, and another can only learn by hearing something
- Scott Johnson
I have a problem with the instructors. I work in a school. Each teacher has a iMac on their desktop. What is it used for? Web surfing, email, and word processing. How do they teach? the same way they've been teaching for 20 years!
- Chuck Adams
HI FROM GEORGIA EVERY THINGS UP AND WORKING 2 DAY
- daveccorey
That "definitely" has generational factors, Chuck. If I learn how to do something now, I'm going to be doing it 50 years from now. As long as it still works and then info gets conveyed, I'm still going to do it. It just so happens that they learned to do these things prior to knowing the usefulness of macs
- Scott Johnson
Apple tells developers to make apps compatable with firmware 3.0 for AppStore. New apps must be compatible if submitted now. Old apps must be made compatible or they will be removed. See www.theloopblog.com/archives/290
- judy Engelsberg
ANOTHER SUBJECT I WAS WONDERING IF ITUNES WAS GOING TO GET ANY SHAREING APLACATIONS 4 TWTTER LIKE GROVE SHARK AND YOUTUBE HAS
- daveccorey
That makes it difficult for a brand new developer like me. Now I have to wait for the 3.0 sdk to drop for free so I can re-work what I've already done. What the heck?
- Scott Johnson
I'm suprised that is actual intelligence in this comment thread, and not people who think the proper way to start and end every sentence is with the word "lol"
- Lucavex Ayanami
The fact is, whether it's Windows, Linux, Unix, Mac, until the mindset of the teacher changes education in this country will continue to lag behind the rest of the world. I don't care how much tech you throw at education.
- Chuck Adams
That's the very reason I stopped chatting on Stickam
- Scott Johnson
I actually prefer Virtualbox over Parallels and VM Fusion. I'm setting it up for a lab of OS X machines now!
- Chuck Adams
Is virtualization as fast as running windows through boot camp?
- Michael K
Right, Chuck. And little by little the old teachers are giving in to teaching about the use of these systems and technique
- Scott Johnson
virtual box is spiffy, but VM Ware and Parallels have better 3d support for example the aero effects in Win 7 don't work in VB
- Gunny doesn't side-hug™
There was an article in the LA time last week explaining how difficult it is to dismiss bad teachers. Bottom line, its almost impossible.
- Robert DeLaurentis
I just used bootcamp for Vista partition. Which one are you able to run 4 OS's at once? It's 79.99
- Scott Johnson
Lucavex and Scott ypu both hit the nail on the head. It also more peaceful and easier to understand ideas in here without trying to comprehend traffic going by at 100 mph
- earl wallace
I have to agree with Leo here. Windows 7 (Which is what I currently use at home) is so stable and solid even under the release candidate. Microsoft really did themselves justice on this new OS. I've never purchased a legitimate copy of an operating system since I was 14. I am now 25. But I can say with 100% truth that I will be purchasing Windows 7.
- Lucavex Ayanami
Dang, I wanted to listen to today's show to get the skinny on iPhone rumors that may come out at WWDC. Dunno whether to wait or pounce on the Palm Pre.
- jcunwired
Thanks Chuck Looking to add you now
- earl wallace
Aye, I'm following you and chuck. Lemme see about adding you as a friend. I'm a N00b to Twitter
- Scott Johnson
me too... had to replace my HD and the performance was noticeable
- Chuck Adams
Mike you'll notice a definite "lag" time time when you compare a 5400 to a 7800. It's not enough to make or break a hard drive buy decision unless you do video editing.
- Lucavex Ayanami
cwob is the coolest name for a web site. I used hamachi in the past and had to make a Logmein ID. I think thats where I got mixed up, Chuck
- Scott Johnson
Hamachi is still kind of flaky to me on OS X
- Chuck Adams
I used it on my windows machine. Not too keen on trying it for Mac
- Scott Johnson
It works most of the time, but the open source gui, HamachiX still has some issues IMHO
- Chuck Adams
