I always found this song to be much stronger than Trent Reznor's original. Just something to do with Johnny's voice that makes it a much deeper song.
- Jimminy Fuller
Well I think that and Johnny's version was from a place of sadness and regret, standing at the end of his life looking back on the past...whereas Trent's version was self-loathing and typical young-angry-dude angst. I find both versions to be awesome in their own ways...but I think Johnny's version makes me appreciate the lyrics so much more.
- tinypants - Hagitha of FF
What Amanda said. :D
- Haggis (Sean Loyless)
I agree Amanda. He sang the song after he lost June also, so he was looking back at his life and his loss. Sadness and regret all the way create the emotional ambience.

- Jennifer Dittrich
Every single time I have to start or restart my work PC, I watch several minutes leak out of my life. If isn't long before this exceeds any "Apple Tax", in spades. I also don't know how I feel about an ad campaign that goes "Apple computers are way cool, but they aren't for the likes of YOU." I could also make a lot of hay over ads that can't say ANYTHING good about my actual product, but just the hardware. MS does NOT sell hardware.

Microsoft can stuff it. My wifes Dell running Windows Vista is practically unusable.

Jennifer, same situation here. We have two Windows 7 machines, one Vista machine, and my MacBook Pro. I'm a huge fan of Windows 7 and I'm a huge fan of OS X. I have never quite understood these wars whether it's between vi and emacs, Windows and OS X, or whatever. Astronomical waste of time.

Cool! Keep us posted on this Thomas.

Do you have stuff on istockphoto? I use that quite often.
- Ken Morley
No, I always felt istockphoto was a rip off. They sell images for $1, $3 or $5 there. The Getty thing seems interesting because they charge a lot more.
- Thomas Hawk
Nice start, Thomas. It'll take 'em ages to pile through all your pictures :D
- Bob M. Montgomery
Maybe you'd make it up in volume?
- Ken Morley
yeah, I was late to get an invite but I've heard from others that once you submit they typically come back to your stream and look for more images. I have some reservations about doing this still, but I think it will be interesting to experiment with it and see how it goes.
- Thomas Hawk
maybe Ken. Just never thought pricing images that low was a good idea though. At least not for me personally.
- Thomas Hawk
We buy a lot of images for our newsletters. Could never afford the Getty prices however.
- Ken Morley
Congratulation! This makes me want to work harder "to be just like Tom".

yeah, I think Istock definitely serves a market and opens up stock photography for a lot more uses than maybe in the past.

Absolutely fantastic images...congrats Thomas!

nice work, whats the association between flickr and getty? I'm soon to submit myself. your stuff is great!!

My pal Sam Bloomberg-Rissman used to work for him. http://beta.friendfeed.com/davidsa... a good person to follow if you are interested in photography and the business side of photography especially.
- Thomas Hawk
thanks for the reply, do you submit to getty or do you just wait for an invite?? hope it all goes well for you.
- Leeanne Munn
You have to wait for Getty to invite you. I think it would be better if they allowed people to submit, but for now you have to wait for their invitation on Flickr.

of course some of these photos are simply stunning.

Congrats Thomas. Have to keep us posted on how it goes. Out of interest, how much % of the sale do you get back for yourself?
- Simon Wicks
great
- Manuela
well done thomas
- Chris Farrugia
Simon, Getty basically pays 20-30% (probably more like 20% for me) on sales in this program. Pretty skinny for the photographer if you ask me. But we'll see how well they do selling them to make up for that.
- Thomas Hawk
It's not cost you anything to have them in their program though has it? Anything you make is a bonus if thats the case, and it gets you more recognition. :)
- Simon Wicks
right Simon, no cost to be in the program. But the terms still seem a bit one-sided to me. a low payout, a requirement that you give them a three year exclusive on these image or images substantially like these images. I'd rather have seen more like a 40-50% payout on images and a shorter one year exclusive which could be renewed after that, especially given that the program is new and nobody really has any datapoints on what it will look like. But opening up Getty to more amateurs still is admirable.
- Thomas Hawk
Ah right, so techically they own the images now? You cant sell it to any other sites to make a profit from those too. Shorter leases would of been much better in that case, as like you said, you dont know what return you are going to get from them.
- Simon Wicks
well technically you still own the images. But you just can't market them through anyone else for that term. So if say someone emails you after finding your image on say Flickr and wants to pay you $1,000 for it you can't take it. Instead you can send them to Getty and get more like $40. They also won't recognize the cc non-commercial license which I don't like and will only market images previously marked CC non commercial as the lower paying royalty free. Which I don't like.
- Thomas Hawk
Just wondering: If you have an image on Getty and someone wants to buy it externally (like you $1000 example via mail), wouldn't it be as easy as making a simple change to your raw image and then sell the new one (which looks almost exactly like the one on Getty)? Does Getty own the right of your raw image? Or do they own the rights of a whole series of shots (that may be looking all the same)? I think they wouldn't like it, but in fact this would be ok, wouldn't it?
- Pascal Hertleif
Pascal, they lay claim to "similars" and their definition of "similars" is somewhat nebulous and subjective. You always own the copyright (for sake of this discussion). They (Getty) have an exclusive license that you grant them for a period of 2 years that is irrevocable during that timeframe. I.e. you can't change your mind 2 weeks after you grant them license and ask Getty to delete the image. You can ask them to stop licensing it out but since they still own the exclusive license, it still prevents you
- Jauder Ho
from selling elsewhere except for "fine art" prints. And yes, the terms seem to be stacked against the photog.

«Interesting... if you open the link (non-cached) in a new tab, the answers don't show, but if you follow the link through google in the same tab, the answers do show at the bottom.» This is even officially allowed by Google these days, it's called "first click free" (others might call it "sort of cloaking").

@Jeremy, just as a hack I made you a Custom Search Engine called 'All But Experts-Exchange'. Compare the results of [http://www.google.com/cse...] with [http://www.google.com/search...]. You can access the CSE here: http://www.google.com/coop....
- DeWitt Clinton
A better solution would be for us to enable something per-site with SearchWiki [http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2008...]. I actually thought we could already, let me look again.
- DeWitt Clinton
I would like to do this as well, Experts Exchange is the biggest joke. Stack Overflow has everything any more... w/o hiding their answers.
- Nicholas Kreidberg
How do you configure a Custom Search Engine to exclude specific sites?
- Paul Grav
@Paul - once you've set up a CSE, follow the link that says "[Edit this search engine]" and look at the left-hand column under Control Panel for a link that says "Sites". Find the section called "Excluded sites" and then "Add Site". I think our user experience here could be better. The Custom Search Engines are incredibly powerful, but not nearly as discoverable as they could be.
- DeWitt Clinton
DeWitt, thanks for the reminder about CSE. It's an incredibly cool feature.
- Jason Wehmhoener
Include this in your query site:-expertsexchange.com
- FFing Enigma (aka Tina)
totally agree, I hate those wankers
- Toby Graham
@Jason - thanks! Custom Search Engines are perhaps my favorite power feature that Google offers. Come to Google I/O and I'll show off something neat with them.
- DeWitt Clinton
There should really be a search experiment to do this. Exclude the follow sites from your results. SearchWiki doesn't do it AFAIK. I've thought about suggesting the search experiment at work but never got around to it. I think I shall today.
- EricaJoy
me too... hate experts exchange
- mikepk
Erica: Google *does* offer a way to do this in your query. Try searching for YourKeyWord site:-siteIhate.com site:-OtherSiteIHate.com The "-" verbiage is how you tell the engine to *not* return results from those sites. Conversely, you could search "keyword site:MyFavoriteResource.com" to only return results from your intended target.
- FFing Enigma (aka Tina)
Scroll to the bottom works for me. And sometimes there's good answers. I think it's ridiculous that I have to scroll to the bottom but... for me it's not worth adding yet another extension or greasemonkey script.
- Robert DeBord
Haven't seen it in the comments, but you can always use the SaerchWiki Labs feature to remove any unnecessary results from view. I think you can go as far as 'ban' a domain.

Laser-Heated Hard Drives Could Break Data Density Barrier - http://www.spectrum.ieee.org/mar09...
Jesper Lind and Bill Pennington liked this
"24 March 2009—The density of data on hard-disk drives has doubled every three years since they were invented in 1955. Today’s hard disks pack 500 gigabits on a square inch (6.45 square centimeters). But magnetic disk recording as it is done now will run out of steam in just one more doubling, at 1 terabit. Engineers at Seagate Technology’s research arm, in Pittsburgh, have built a prototype heat-assisted magnetic recording scheme, which has the potential to allow up to 50 Tb per square inch."

Image matching engine TinEye is open for all these days, no invite needed. As before, you upload an image or provide a live URL of an image, hit Search, and then get back similar or same images from the web. This works very well.

- Robert Scoble
Totally need one of these to store my photos on!
- Bill Pennington
from twhirl
I just don't understand why there isn't an eSATA or otherwise fast connected external storage unit available? The Drobo's Firewire 800 performance seems shaky based on reviews I've read. Other NAS raid devices rely on gigabit ethernet, which has its own bottlenecks. There's a wide open market for one of these vendors to swoop in with a self-recovering multiple storage device WITH an internal level speed performance.
- Nathan Chase
Engadget should build one.
- Roberto Bonini
Nathan: those are available, people like NetApp build them and the cost $$$$$
- Bill Pennington
from twhirl
@Bill - well I guess I should have been more specific to the sub-$500 range for a driveless device that I can choose which drives I put into it
- Nathan Chase
The big problem we're all facing these days is where to store all of the massive files with redundancy at a consumer-level price. Consumers are storing HD video on their computers, massive photo and audio collections - there needs to be a fool-proof local backup device to store the terabytes of data we're all starting to acquire, and perform at a level of performance we're accustomed to with our internal drives.
- Nathan Chase
Windows Home Server is actiually pretty good. With a sub $500 price tag as well.
- Roberto Bonini
I was also looking for a home NAS in this price range - $800. Expandable to 8 drives - cool.
- Dave
What's 'drowrow'?
- Andy
NAS makes sense from the enterprise down to the consumer level. Good to see the innovation here.
- Louis Gray
@Louis - what do you use for storage? I'm curious what other people are doing to solve their storage issues...
- Nathan Chase
One word - ZFS ;-)
- Matt Hosanee
Nathan: I would guess you could BYO for that price but I am not aware of an off the shelf solution at that price range, give it enough time and it will get there of course
- Bill Pennington
from twhirl
@Bill - yeah I've looked into it a bit, but I wonder if there is a BYO option that I can add any size drive to, similar to how Drobo functions... Raid 5 is close, but doesn't have that luxury of adding any combination of drive sizes to create the "one big drive" that Windows would see
- Nathan Chase
Nathan: My linux haxor skills are getting rusty but I would bet linux + LVMand you could do it. So you could have 2 500GB drives mirrored, then a 300 GB drive then 2 1TB drives (mirrored) then setup LVM to see all those as one directory/mount then share that with NFS or SAMBA I have not tried it and could be totally talk out my a$$ :-)
- Bill Pennington
from twhirl
no - I've pretty much steered clear of Linux based solutions.
- Nathan Chase
Nathan, I just use an Apple Time Capsule at home. Nothing too fancy. But I work at BlueArc, which makes some of the fastest, most scalable NAS/SAN gear on the planet. :)
- Louis Gray
I built my home array using OpenFiler running on some pretty generic hardware. I have a RAID 5 array of leftover 160GB drives that stores about 500GB of data now (mostly RAW photos, etc). I have a few other drives in some external eSATA<->SATA enclosures in a RAID 0 stripe for "transient" data, stuff I don't care about losing. Openfiler handles it all and I can add a new RAID 5 array later and grow my existing data or create new. Shares to my network as NAS, to my personal machine as iSCSI.

So does that mean that everytime a new tweet arrives, you get a notification? Because that would get quite annoying pretty quickly.

Palringo is a true cross platform IM service: it works on both Mac and PC PLUS most major MOBILE platforms (windows mobile, symbian,java, iphone, blackberry, Android (coming). You can move from computer to mobile and back and all of your contacts/chat sessions will be synchronised. it connects to all of the IM services PLUS Facebook chat. so check it out as an alternative to both Adium and Trillian. And Twitter integration is coming....

I'll stick with Adium as it evolves and gets even better. It has not crashed on me even once since I got my Mac last August. I'm running the latest versions of Leopard and Adium, and have not enabled the Adium option to "download the latest beta version when available". On my Adium wishlist: better file transfers and audio chat.
