- clive boulton
how's it looking?
- Kevin Marks
It is Friday again? I'm waiting for the call. Have a new Logitech webcam, too.
- Robert Scoble
starts now.
- Robert Scoble
woo-hoo
- Ankush Narula
hello hello
- Xenophrenia
hi Xeno
- Kevin Marks
Hi.
- Robert Scoble
paypal was down earlier as well
- Ankush Narula
Missed you on Tummelvision Kevin - it was a good show - Heather and Dave stayed after and chatted for about 20 mins or so
- Xenophrenia
You started a trend ;-)
- Xenophrenia
I missed it too - I'll have to listen to the podcast
- Kevin Marks
I agree with Danny - it's annoying that it defaults to checking
- Ankush Narula
Last Pass has an auto fill feature
- Xenophrenia
Totally frictionless payment a la iTunes is the goal
- Stephen Pickering
Verified by Visa is really annoying. Looks like a phishing attack
- Kevin Marks
totally frictionless could be hazardous if hacked ....
- Xenophrenia
yay
- Xenophrenia
marijuana isn't evil
- Xenophrenia
It helps creativity
- Stephen Pickering
It sure makes this show funnier than usual
- Ankush Narula
takes the money away of the cartels - stop incarcerating more people than the rest of the world - stuff like that ;-) ..
- Xenophrenia
Office just keeps growing and growing
- Stephen Pickering
yeah - and makes people happy - helps people who are sick ... ;-)
- Xenophrenia
Office isn't exactly a riveting conversational topic ;-) ... people use it everyday - don't necessarily talk about it
- Xenophrenia
Microsoft is obsessed with introducing new brands... it's killing them
- Ankush Narula
If iPad had a real browser and flash then it would kill netbooks
- Stephen Pickering
I agree Stephen
- Xenophrenia
how is the iPad browser not real?
- Kevin Marks
there probably would still be some - but people really like the Ipad
- Xenophrenia
its mobile browser, can't edit Google Docs for instance, so many services don't work right in the mobile browser Google Translate etc
- Stephen Pickering
so, if Google supported the iPad browser better...
- Kevin Marks
Microsoft Tension - .NET vs Ozzie
- clive boulton
But why a mobile browser on a screen that large
- Stephen Pickering
Adobe shows Flash to HTML5 (+ SVG) converter: http://bit.ly/dBfHkG
- Kevin Marks
“HTML is the only true cross platform solution for everything” - Bob Muglia, Microsoft Tools President http://zd.net/bCw3Tu
- Kevin Marks
How's that going for Microsoft?
- Ankush Narula
I can't upload files in Safari on iOS - as far as I'm concerned that's not an open platform implementation
- Ankush Narula
what files do you want to upload? Photos?
- Kevin Marks
yeah... and then some
- Ankush Narula
Or download
- Stephen Pickering
so that many Ipads sold (to people not used to how Apple works) ... is there a new one announced in January ;-) ?
- Xenophrenia
It's what people want to "do"
- PookyMedia
Microsoft's brand diminishing? http://bit.ly/dCWquA
- John Taschek
Apple/MS committed to H.264, Google to WebM
- Ankush Narula
Diversifying into each others fields - innovative or limiting?
- PookyMedia
Google uses h264 and WebM
- Kevin Marks
standardizing
- Xenophrenia
better for 'us' if they all play nicely
- Xenophrenia
Skype to FB too
- PookyMedia
Does anyone worry the strategy is to close down the Mac like iOS is?
- Stephen Pickering
Stephen: why worry? I'm not invested in Mac. That much.
- Robert Scoble
if Apple's Facetime would document and work with existing protocols, then Apple would get for free the already in place windows video chat libraries and clients
- bear (aka Mike Taylor)
Well in my vision the Mac is the mother ship and iOs is like a shuttle.
- Stephen Pickering
exactly bear. If they documented it, every video chat vendor would build it right away.
- Kevin Marks
brilliant move by starbucks
- PookyMedia
Foursquare has achieve escape velocity I guess
- Stephen Pickering
RadioShack and Ben&Jerry's run offers on foursquare too.
- Alex de Soto
what was the one you used on the way to TWiT cottage Robert?
- Xenophrenia
that was fun to watch ;-)
- Xenophrenia
foursquare needs to make an add-on for google maps - that way they can pop up a pin layer of everywhere they have coupons
- bear (aka Mike Taylor)
GPS based entertainment doesn't get more local than that
- PookyMedia
So we all become perpetual Amway salesmen?
- Ankush Narula
then we'd question if it's actual interest or just getting paid to point ..
- Xenophrenia
Xeno: I used Glympse to do that.
- Robert Scoble
it's a trust issue for those you recommend to
- Xenophrenia
virtual pyramid schemes
- bear (aka Mike Taylor)
right, ankus, xeno - that is the problem with affiliate schemes. Needs to be clear
- Kevin Marks
what about the Library of Congress documenting your foursq activity?
- PookyMedia
don't they have laws because bloggers were doing this sort of thing?
- Xenophrenia
and not disclosing?
- Xenophrenia
hahahahha
- PookyMedia
yes, was article about this Xeno: http://blogs.forbes.com/jeffber...
- Kevin Marks
should they be more aware?
- PookyMedia
I'm the mayor of a restroom in Grand Central Station... take that homeless guy who lives there
- Ankush Narula
I check-in so I have a record of places I've been for myself...
- Kevin Marks
would there be laws against getting paid to do this sort of thing? That you would have to disclose your getting paid to recommend these webpages?
- Xenophrenia
hehehe
- Xenophrenia
kev: I like it for that also
- Ankush Narula
What do you guys think of proliferation of QRCodes?
- Alex de Soto
but the correct info could be gotten out by the main player - time warner
- PookyMedia
being a hermit - I have very little need for Foursquare ;-)
- Xenophrenia
disclosing should be part of the referral, sure.
- Kevin Marks
I hate the drive-by check ins. People checking into places that they have not been, just passed by.
- Dave Hoffman / N3PRO
Checking in for the enterprise can be cool in large corporations. Good to know when boss is in the house.
- Alex de Soto
If I post an Amazon link with my referrer code in, Amazon should make that clear.
- Kevin Marks
Twitter is operating on the complex tectonic surface crust of the the social-neural network sphere.
- Arnie Klaus
Boss checking in: http://dilbert.com/strips...
- Kevin Marks
Kevin: Funny!
- Alex de Soto
The Primus defense
- Ankush Narula
that would make sense
- Xenophrenia
Did he say a secret hashtag?
- Ankush Narula
epic rant
- bear (aka Mike Taylor)
Seems like Foursquare should take the place of these Guitar Center and Bed Bath & Beyond Coupons I get every few weeks in the mail
- Stephen Pickering
I hope we helped.
- Arnie Klaus
http://xkcd.com/806/ just say 'shibboleet'
- Kevin Marks
their doing the new cool thing
- Xenophrenia
that's all
- Xenophrenia
they're
- Xenophrenia
why do I do that?
- Xenophrenia
Kinect kicks ass
- Ankush Narula
Should I invest in ERTS? Will Xbox continue to grow and is ERTS the biggest game maker?
- Stephen Pickering
If Silverlight's dead so is WIndows Phone 7
- Ankush Narula
it will use foursquare!
- PookyMedia
Ankush: heh. Windows Phone 7 uses HTML 5, too, right?
- Robert Scoble
Not for native though... I think that's webOS
- Ankush Narula
Windows Phone 7 has some retro browser on it
- Kevin Marks
Kevin: yet another reason I won't accept a free one.
- Robert Scoble
Yeah - Internet Explorer 360
- Ankush Narula
the answer to Danny's rant is tummeling - thats what customer service needs.
- Kevin Marks
Yeah because the current king of Oracle has a god complex
- Ankush Narula
webkit is all that matters
- John Taschek
yes Kevin - but these corporations need to take 'humans' seriously first ..
- Xenophrenia
of course - I think the twitter outreach is a step in that direction
- Kevin Marks
Virtual goods too
- PookyMedia
John: don't tell the Mozilla guys that
- Ankush Narula
Have yet to use Facebook places. Don't seem compelling to me.
- Dave Hoffman / N3PRO
I survived another week! :-)
- Robert Scoble
tata
- Xenophrenia
ciao - happy halloween folks
- Ankush Narula
