Not a biggie really.. considering most people don't even password protect their phones. I'm lovin;' the iPhone 3G
- Jim Stewart
I'm with you Jim. My daily experience with the iPhone is a joy. A device so ahead of the curve is going to have issues. The iPhone is just under a lot of scrutiny right now.

don't leave your phone lying around

Yeah, the Star Wars prequels really were poor films. Something like "Children of Men" is much better film making, and without all the spaceships and crap. Special Effects films are kind of like hair bands and heavy metal guitar solos. They replace the art with the machinery of artifice.
- Dean Terry
So good. they should have done this to him after the first three (made).
- Morgan
My theory on the prequel v original= the orginal trilogy was so open ended - it expanded the mind into this universe beyond imagination. Even in the first one - Obi Wan discusses The Clone Wars with little or no "dumbing down." A real conversation - like explaining to a teen ager old WW2 or Vietnam stories. But in the prequels - everything was dumbed down, explained - that massive universe from the first three was shrunk down and tied up all nice and neat. The mystery died - and so did the luster....

I'm not sick of Star Wars...how could you ever get sick of that? I'm sick of the crapified versions of Star Wars that Lucas foisted on us in the last 10 years in order to sell merchandise.
- Alex Scoble
that Indiana movie wasn't good either. I did REALLY like "The Phantom Menace" though,,, but his batting average is not what it used to be.

The only reason 1-9 are blank is because we haven't chosen to share it with y'all... it would really be too much for your minds to handle! ;)

LEGO + bacon + Star Wars + FF (both FriendFeed and Firefox) + anything and everything with a power switch = insta-date. Unfortunately, I get the WORST pick up lines. EVER
- Mona Nomura
What's to like about this type of mindless crap polluting Friendfeed these days...? *gawd* why is it that if women wants attention it has to be some sex inspired bullshit...? FAIL!!!
- Mario Olckers
I would add "11. Women know men better than men know themselves."
- Hayk H.
worst pickup lines Mona N? I cannot imagine you getting all the worst ones with that personality of yours..
- Fred Grott
Ones that women don't know, and vice versa:)
- Igor Poltavskiy
Where in the Sam Hill did THIS come from?! :O
- Mona Nomura
Shall we fill it out then? 1. women mature faster mentally, than men. 2. Women are often more social than men. 3. Women live longer. 4. Women dream about their wedding at age 3. 5. Women are physically weaker. 6. there's more of them on this planet. 6. Not all women are good cooks, hygienic, or care about nice things. 7. women shave. 8. women like it if you keep the seat down. 9. some women keep short hair after a certain age (why?). 10. some women have some breasts. I could go on… Don't stereotype men, pls

Mona - It bubbled up from the FF ooze.

Reminds me of when The Onion did a video story on how 9/11 conspiracy theories pissed off Al Qaeda -- and then, a few weeks later, a *real* Al Qaeda spokesman said the same thing, that they were pissed off about all the conspiracy theories saying that someone else was to blame for 9/11. (see http://thelede.blogs.nytimes.com/2008...)

The key words are "according to the British tabloid The Sun". No need to read any further. Don't you guys having any idea what The Sun is like?

Fabulous news for you, Andrew, as well as Joanne, Kenyatta and the rest of the crew -- many congratulations.
- Stephen Mack
Thanks again everyone, 'pretty damn psyched!
- Andrew Baron
It just goes to show you that hard work and perseverance pays off. You guys really did it the right way. Hopefully I won't have to get a damn PS3 to see the show. ;)
- Sean-Michael Robinson
That is quite an accomplishment Andrew. Its inspirational to here your struggles and successes over the last few years. 7 figures is nothing to balk
- Chris Conway
at in this economy. Now I suppose you can affoard a 6 fugure idea man on your team. hahaj.k.
- Chris Conway
Thanks for the detailed post on this Andrew, and especially for outlining how you explored options with traditional entertainment co's and hired CAA as reps... Those are avenues I've considered with an entertainment news property I'm developing (nothing like Rocketboom) and it's encouraging to see that strategy pay off. It's also pretty awesome to see someone benefit from the hard work and creative drive connected to a passion for a project rather than an industry. Congrats and best wishes for the future!
- Stacy Bond
Congrats Andrew, you were a pioneer long before anyone else. Looking forward to seeing what else you do with Rocketboom.
- Robert Scoble
Congratulations, Andrew! - You've totally earned it.
- Julie Perry
Kudos Andrew. Does this mean Rocketboom will include rootkits now? :P Make the most of it!

my fav. comments: "This thing is going to kill us all." "Hope there's not a cable loose somewhere..." "I HOPE it kills us all. " "I have my crowbar ready for any unforseen consequences." (yes, half life reference). "i'm not sure i want that thing to go online. " "The end of the world is pretty." "I want to have sex on every detector they have. Wait... i want to have sex period." They're waiting for you Gordon.....In the tessst chamber! (more half life reference)

Make sure to equip all the scientists with crowbars and leave random ammo and weapons laying around the complex before turning it on. Just in case.
