Oracle positioning to grab Android to combat SAPs Sybase mobile? - clive boulton

It's a statement to the public - exactly - it's putting a young face on the company also - Ankush Narula

any chance Larry Page does a Jerry Yang... - clive boulton

probably coming to sxw - Kevin Marks

you guys should stream audio as well video doesn't work on low speed connections - testbeta

did someone say Cloud companies? :-P - Allen Stern

if google was smart they would stay away from social - Allen Stern

allen, the problem is that they are smarter than they are sociable - Kevin Marks

when having such a thing or even a project it is advisable that you keep basic version alive like Google has basic html for gmail - testbeta

if facebook was smart they would stay away from search. - Ciro Villa

Google seems more focused on Groupon lately - Ankush Narula

Is Apple built to last.... - clive boulton

testbeta: I don't think we'll do that, sorry, but it's something we should reconsider. - Robert Scoble

kevin - they need to own the business side, the utility side - not the social (which is short term) side - Allen Stern

Allen: the thinking in the valley is that social will take away the business side. - Robert Scoble

Yep Robert - Allen Stern

i am working on a low speed connection Ustream doesn't work for me, you guys should give out topics too around which talks would revove that would help us users to give realtime updates - testbeta

great analysis of the unique skills of Jobs by Steve Gillmor - Jeroen De Miranda

allow me to say something that i want to write a blog post - the issue with google is the same issue with blackberry - Allen Stern

Allen: except blackberry is totally screwed. :-) - Robert Scoble

testbeta: sorry. - Robert Scoble

Robert - if they follow my plan they can turn it around :) but if google keeps going on this social bit, they will be drifting right behind bberry - Allen Stern

Christopher: looks neat, no apps, I won't buy one. - Robert Scoble

why am i listening to a commercial for a mop ... named mint? - Laura Norvig

Christopher: I'd rather have an Android tablet. - Robert Scoble

Christopher: yup. - Robert Scoble

Christopher: that's why Microsoft is still in a deep hole in mobile. - Robert Scoble

Curation vs aggregation/filtering - Ankush Narula

Christopher: I don't see it that way, but Android is definitely the way to go if you don't like the iPad for some reason. - Robert Scoble

whoever asked if Apple was built to last? Every device I've bought from them still works and is still in use. 8 yrs later. No other brand I own is like that in the tech space. - Karoli

In other words, there's very little oxygen for HP/Palm or RIM's PlayBook. - Robert Scoble

Hulu does not have mad men (oh, maybe hulu plus but i don't think so) - Laura Norvig

HULU? UGH - Karoli

Hulu Desktop on mac mini with Remote Buddy is pretty nice actually - Ankush Narula

Christopher you can't, right? - Laura Norvig

Christopher you don't. That's actually why there's a monetization strategy for app developers. - Robert Scoble

that would be too logical - Laura Norvig

Christopher: Rome wasn't built in a day - Ankush Narula

I hope Jony Ive takes over from Jobs.. he designed the first Emac, the ipod, iphone, ipad.. everything thats made Apple successful. - kevin stephenson

Christopher: I agree that they should figure out how to get rid of that link now. Android definitely is nicer on that point. But that point isn't that big a deal in my experience. - Robert Scoble

Hulu is the only service I've seen where you can pay for the privilege of being barraged with ads. no thanks. - Karoli

Kevin: Jony is definitely one guy I love, but I don't think he's that good on stage and that's one of the major things they need to replace if Jobs goes. - Robert Scoble

Free Hulu is better than Hulu Plus anyways. - Laura Norvig

Robert/Kevin: Scott Forestall seems like the best pitchman at Apple - Ankush Narula

Scobleizer's dead right - PC era app suite license revenues are nose diving (watch upcoming financial results) - clive boulton

Christopher: if she doesn't ahve a computer they will set it up for her at the Apple store. But yeah, that hurts upgrades. - Robert Scoble

The thing is with Android we aren't getting upgrades on the devices anyway due to carriers. - Robert Scoble

Christopher: your 73-year-old-lady has no clue what a bootloader is. - Robert Scoble

Bingo on the Windows / Facebook analogy. Facebook has traction. For now. - Laura Norvig

Christopher and you could hook her iPad to your laptop too. Geesh. - Robert Scoble

facebook's revenue is far lower than google no? - Markus Kobler

mobile advertising will be next - Laura Norvig

i would take a google ad over a facebook ad any day - Allen Stern

who's going to the Crunchies today? - Tina Chase Gillmor

I'm probably going; - Kevin Marks

Allen: I agree with that mostly. But the newer ads are more like Facebook pages. The brands are spending money to get people to spread their advertising for them (ala the Old Spice guy). - Robert Scoble

People don't click on ads on Facebook. But they *will* click through from a brand's fan page to some kind of exclusive offer on the brand's site. - Laura Norvig

Laura: exactly. - Robert Scoble

so the DoubleClick part of google should be hurting? How did they do? - Kevin Marks

i don't want my cloudcontacts ad on facebook showing up next to fat loss pills and zoosk personal ads - Allen Stern

Kevin -please say hello if you do. text me at the party - Tina Chase Gillmor

Ha, for the good luck, Danny, or because you are, "that kind of cheap bastard"? - Laura Norvig

sounds like i am listening to someone read a gilmor techcrunch post. - Allen Stern

We call it the "Rock-You" box. Actually, we have two of them - Laura Norvig

tribal buzz says Google Seattle labs working on big relational SQL db. (makes no sense but...Redmond) - clive boulton

I have a mac mini on the TV - Kevin Marks

Me too - Ankush Narula

I'm watching the Ustream on my TV actually - Ankush Narula

I have an Apple TV and thinking of getting a Roku for my bedroom TV and getting rid of my DVR - Francine Hardaway

46" head of Steve Gillmor - Ankush Narula

That's really scary Ankush. It's scary enough seeing him one inch high. :-) - Robert Scoble

Eric Schmidt in a Mickey Mouse suit? - Joshua Dale

It's actually scarier when Kevin's screen comes up - he looks like Big Brother in the Mac commercial from 1984 at the moment - Ankush Narula

perhaps it's the lighting - Ankush Narula

the sun's shining through the window - Kevin Marks

Ankrush - when you appearing in GQ? - clive boulton

Facebook has to penetrate China and India to grow a lot more, which seems unlikely - Todd Hoff

Will a CDMA iPhone challenge that? - Ankush Narula

handset share is still pwned by Nokia; plenty of growth replacing those - Kevin Marks

Ah, I get brownie points for genetic association? - Laura Norvig

btw, I totally agree that google is smarter than they are sociable - Laura Norvig

and i doubt they will get to 50% social penetration! - Laura Norvig

almost too much news in 1 week to cover - clive boulton

we trust british accents - Laura Norvig

which is weird, as the villain is always played by a Briton... - Kevin Marks

but you sound smart! - Laura Norvig

Bon voyage Robert - Francine Hardaway

no one expects Brit villain... - clive boulton

Reminds me of this bit by Eddie Izzard: http://www.youtube.com/watch... - Ankush Narula
