Hanging out, waiting for the famous call.
- Robert Scoble
I have Android angst. Will I blow up on today's call?
- Robert Scoble
@Robert is switching to android like dating a stripper? She looks great but once you find out she sleeps all day and can't stop flirting with guys you realize hose bad of a decision it was? NOT a personal story at all :/
- Matthew Voshell
Heheh. Matthew, it's not quite THAT bad. But the notifications suck. :-)
- Robert Scoble
Android angst? Can't wait to hear what that's all about. And isn't it amazing that while Google Reader will be gone soon Friendfeed is still around?
- Alex de Soto
have you tried google keep?
- Matthew Voshell
Yeah. That'll be more interesting with Google Glass, but then I'm still partial to Evernote. I don't trust Google as much as I used to.
- Robert Scoble
We could also talk about algorithmic user interfaces (like what Facebook is moving to). That bugged me a lot at first but now I'm very intrigued.
- Robert Scoble
Tina, you there?
- Robert Scoble
I completely agree Evernote is amazing... when did google try to play catch up and not just be the innovators they are? are they getting TOO big?
- Matthew Voshell
Hmmm, Gillmors can't be reached. Steve is in New York. Tina must be having troubles.
- Robert Scoble
how can you dislike android notifications? dislike some apps for doing them badly, sure (twitter)
- Kevin Marks
I just got back through and Tina is having trouble with one of the machines. Please stand by.
- Robert Scoble
Kevin: all apps suck on 4.2.1 all notifications are single lines and totally useless. Forces a click through which iOS doesn't.
- Robert Scoble
@robert are there not third-party mods to change the notifications?
- Matthew Voshell
Matthew: I don't know. On iOS I don't need to do third-party crap.
- Robert Scoble
@Robert yea true.. so you're saying apple got something right?!?!
- Matthew Voshell
Yup. But Apple sucks because of the keyboard. Android, er, SwiftKey, is far superior for me.
- Robert Scoble
Danny Sullivan: please stand by. Tina is experiencing technical difficulties.
- Robert Scoble
@Robert What about google voice dictation? I use the google search app on my iPhone 100% of the time.. and i know it's builtin to the keyboard as well?
- Matthew Voshell
Matthew: voice is a wash. Google is better at some things, Apple better at others.
- Robert Scoble
have you done the pull to expand thign on notifications
- Kevin Marks
2-finger pull down on any one give you the same UX as the top one
- Kevin Marks
Kevin: yes. That just expands groups, like Gmail, into multiple messages. All single lines.
- Robert Scoble
@panel... I've been saying this forever... why dont you guys do this on a broadcasted google+ hangout?
- Matthew Voshell
Matthew: we should. If I ran this I would do that.
- Robert Scoble
.... and save tina that aggravation :)
- Matthew Voshell
Been waiting here since 1 PM!
- Francine Hardaway
Thanks, we are running!
- Robert Scoble
Are you hearing OK?
- Robert Scoble
Aloha!
- Nir Ben Yona
yes
- Francine Hardaway
What are you doing indoors, Kevin
- Francine Hardaway
I just got my Basis!
- Francine Hardaway
Nice Francine! I've been wanting to test that.
- Mark Krynsky
I tried the street outside, but that was even noisier
- Kevin Marks
also there was a lady wearing google glass having a phonecall
- Kevin Marks
Mark, I can't even open the box it's packaged so tightly
- Francine Hardaway
@kevin... was it as awkward as not realizing someone has a bluetooth headset on?
- Matthew Voshell
I'm back on.
- Robert Scoble
well, we were debating who each latte was for, so a bit odd
- Kevin Marks
10 seconds for try #2.
- Robert Scoble
I have a headset on too now though
- Kevin Marks
That Basis is almost as good as a lie detector: heart rate, perspiration, skin temp...
- Alex de Soto
@Kevin LOL
- Matthew Voshell
Nexus or always behind
- clive boulton
geez... thanks for hanging in there folks...all good now?
- Tina Chase Gillmor
@Robert... so why didnt you get the nexus 4?
- Matthew Voshell
stev face the camera
- Tina Chase Gillmor
I need to give Scoble my tweet notification app.
- Kevin Marks
Danny is knackered after SMX?
- Kevin Marks
Robert, you should ask Danny about his multi-device activity tracking. We're both doing this right now. I'm testing 4 activity trackers simultaneously right now Nike Fuelband, Jawbone Up, Fitbit One and Bodymedia Armband http://lifestreamblog.com/bodymed...
- Mark Krynsky
talk about Google Keep. Does anybody care about that AT ALL? and the timing after killing Reader? Not good.
- Laura Norvig
Laura... you talk about it and see if the gang picks it up
- Tina Chase Gillmor
I just did ;-)
- Laura Norvig
And will News ever go away on Google?
- Alex de Soto
Doh...stream locked up.
- Mark Krynsky
Spotted Chomebook Pixel's this week, one in the wild.
- clive boulton
...and it's back
- Mark Krynsky
Orkut
- Steven E. Streight
no InstaGram is a no-go for kids fo-sho
- Tina Chase Gillmor
Yep Tina...my daughter uses instagram now more than facebook.
- Mark Krynsky
Photo apps are taking over social media!
- Steven E. Streight
instagram on Android tabets is nicer than on iPads
- Kevin Marks
Facebook fatigue is really setting in
- clive boulton
@Laura Robert and I spoke about it earlier in this stream
- Matthew Voshell
We were promised vacations on Mars...and all we got are these stupid cat photos!
- Steven E. Streight
turn your ipad inot a netbook!
- Kevin Marks
Ah, thanks Matthew, I was at lunch!
- Laura Norvig
I pre-ordered this months ago and ti got puched back, but i think it's WAY better than the other activity trackers out there http://www.misfitwearables.com/
- Matthew Voshell
Mark - same. very little FB all Instagram
- Tina Chase Gillmor
I'm using the Logitech keyboard for the mini. They ship quickly from Logitech. It's great but can't use a protective case for the back with it.
- Alex de Soto
But how does instagram pay off for young kids when they go to get a job in 10 years?!?! haha
- Matthew Voshell
It's a generational thing....
- Mark Krynsky
Gen X is still pretty privacy wary...the new generation isn't...this will affect adopted technologies.
- Mark Krynsky
A generational tic...like saying "So..." at the start of every sentence.
- Steven E. Streight
ditto my 16 and 18 yr old neices - Instagram, not Facebook anymore
- Laura Norvig
Path too.
- clive boulton
mine use fb messenger a fair bit
- Kevin Marks
They'll care about privacy when hit by identity theft or predators.
- Steven E. Streight
So its where you friends are? growing up is all about fitting in...
- Matthew Voshell
my eldest was live-tweeting a school conference this week...
- Kevin Marks
Fitting in...or being different...like a Steve Jobs.
- Steven E. Streight
it never stops scoble :)
- bear (aka Mike Taylor)
My students, year 3 and 4, don't know shit. I have taught them body monitors, sensors, 3-D printing
- Francine Hardaway
Most of them have iPhones
- Francine Hardaway
kids just want to communicate with their friends
- Tina Chase Gillmor
Yea i think for events, organizations, these social networks are amazing... but for personal life? just building a case to not get a job or be trusted :/
- Matthew Voshell
Silence and Solitude will be the New Black.
- Steven E. Streight
Hello GG friends.
- Darren
Robert: Will kids run away from the contextual or embrace it?
- Alex de Soto
Alex: for a couple of years. Why? Price.
- Robert Scoble
But after the glasses get cool enough and cheap enough, we'll see kids use them too. Particularly for sports or concert videos.
- Robert Scoble
@Robert so it goes the way flat screen TV's have? Please tell me we dont become the people from Wall-E :(
- Matthew Voshell
My students (journalism) use Twitter, hate Facebook but still use it. Are amazingly tech illiterate and uncurious. Remember, outside SV, there's a whole other world
- Francine Hardaway
Facebook made the social graph too much the past you were
- clive boulton
Glad to see we aren't talking about SendGrid today.
- Darren
When Google Glass tells us what to do, and Google Cars drive us contextually to where they know we should be, will thinking be obsolete?
- Steven E. Streight
Kevin is at The Creamery in Sf. Oneof the loudest places in SF
- Tina Chase Gillmor
If its cool... does that mean is useful? i dont think they are mutually exclusive.
- Matthew Voshell
but quieter than the street outside
- Kevin Marks
SendGrid are a disgrace
- Kevin Marks
Twitter is for very short messages, not real conversations. What does that say about us?
- Steven E. Streight
The kids of the people on this call are NOT normal
- Francine Hardaway
I plan on limiting my kids tech usage growing up; kids nowadays get punish by having to go outside and turn off their xbox's; when i grew up and we were in trouble we WEREN'T aloud outside... :/ This pushes towards childhood obesity... is tech to partly blame?
- Matthew Voshell
Twitter conditions us for short bursts of talk, rather than what we had in blogs, longer communications in depth.
- Steven E. Streight
Patrick is not the norm
- Francine Hardaway
Matthew: yes. Technology plays a big part in obesity.
- Robert Scoble
Francine - not normal - true. but their friends are and it's the same
- Tina Chase Gillmor
I would agree that I've gained weight due to more time on the PC and eating late at night.
- Steven E. Streight
Maybe part of a bigger conversation regarding trust in cloud services is the bigger issue.
- Mark Krynsky
Hi everyone, just checking in because I miss you all. Am I late? I have been traveling a lot lately :)
- Charlie Isaacs
I have been experimenting with new curation and discovery tools like RebelMouse and Swayy to find stuff to read. I wonder if this type of discovery is going to replace systematic RSS reading of blogs.
- Laura Norvig
Will smart phones and tablets totally replace tower PCs? I doubt it.
- Steven E. Streight
Hiiiii Charlie
- Tina Chase Gillmor
Hiiiiback Tina! :)
- Charlie Isaacs
RSS seems to be in trouble.
- Steven E. Streight
Does Google want to replace RSS with GooglePlus, Robert?
- Steven E. Streight
rss is just fine - it's used as the backbone for more things than ever
- bear (aka Mike Taylor)
*sigh*
- Darren
Twitter not supporting RSS, XML or Atom anymore
- Laura Norvig
I think Flipboard and Social Networks.. RSS will live but be like cash vs. credit cards today... it'll be the undreground
- Matthew Voshell
No Tina, your kids all llive in SV. Tech is in the air
- Francine Hardaway
I think RSS readers may go the way of blog rolls.
- Steven E. Streight
twitter stopped supporting rss and atom because they, at the time, lacked capabilities to handle it
- bear (aka Mike Taylor)
Syndication is a necessity...regardless of what the technology ever iterates to. I still use RSS and will welcome whatever new technology comes to evolve it.
- Mark Krynsky
Google Reader with RSS was incredible ROI for Google. Not a lot of money for a lot of geek love.
- Kevin Bryan
RSS serves a very relevant B2B purpose (syndication) and there are no relevant alternatives. Until there is it isn't going anywhere. Proprietary APIs are not that.
- Darren
When does "content curation" turn into plagiarism and duplicate content?
- Steven E. Streight
Does google just have the balls to say No? Jobs was renowned for the ability say no.
- Matthew Voshell
promoting TWIT on GG??!!
- Tina Chase Gillmor
you use email and you don't know its SMTP ?
- bear (aka Mike Taylor)
Very sad about Reader because it makes a lot of very vocal people not trust Google.
- Francine Hardaway
:-)
- Tina Chase Gillmor
Steven, I'm surprised that is not contested in courts more. All the tools I have seen do link back to original source
- Laura Norvig
Apple updates Podcasts app with new features and design changes
Read more: http://www.digitaltrends.com/mobile...
- Charlie Isaacs
Google Reader was the Velvet Underground of Google services. Not many people used it, but everyone who did started a blog.
- Kevin Bryan
Tina: I need to keep up on the other shows that I'mnot on. :-)
- Robert Scoble
Google doesn't say n directly, just has passive agressive arguments about traffic
- Kevin Marks
Laura, Twitter si barely supporting Twitter any more
- Kevin Marks
rss and other "notification" tech is important as infrastructure if only to keep things from not being silo'd
- bear (aka Mike Taylor)
Scob - yeah you have the time to do that!
- Tina Chase Gillmor
@kevin so they are more motiviated by money and not as much be delievering a product people love? The supposed opposite of apple?
- Matthew Voshell
Francine - when are you coming to SV again?
- Tina Chase Gillmor
Was there this week. Mid April
- Francine Hardaway
I come once a month
- Francine Hardaway
not money per se, more that when they have an instinctual dislike they'll find a data-driven justification
- Kevin Marks
Could they have merged Reader into "Google News?'
- Alex de Soto
Danny - right. couldnt they have utilized it somehow?
- Tina Chase Gillmor
Google offerings last 1459 days http://www.guardian.co.uk/technol...
- clive boulton
Google Plus is not solving any of my information overload problems at all.
- Laura Norvig
Explore on GooglePlus has been demoted in the More tab.
- Steven E. Streight
I know a Government agency that leveraged Google Reader to dynamically parse feeds/information specifically related that Govt. agency. A young innovator built the app to save taxpayers money...oh well.
- Charlie Isaacs
I gain a lot more followers on G+ than on FB, but get more interactions on FB.
- Steven E. Streight
Robert's right. Discovery on G+ is very difficult
- Francine Hardaway
Yes
- Steven E. Streight
the call-out about Google Alerts failing was interesting too
- Kevin Marks
Like I said, the Explore tab on G+ is hidden in More.
- Steven E. Streight
I use google alerts a LOT... please dont say that is next :/
- Matthew Voshell
Why doesn't G+ have a private message feature like all other social media does???
- Steven E. Streight
I have been getting incredible value out of a "secret group" nptech community of practice on Facebook lately. The trust in the group (of about 400) ripples out into public facing parts of Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn.
- Laura Norvig
@Steven... tech it does? if you share a link with a specific person, they are the only ones that see it
- Matthew Voshell
Limited on G+ gives private message
- clive boulton
facebook will always be a non-starter just because all of the tech people I interact with are not on it :/
- bear (aka Mike Taylor)
it has gtalk integrated, steven
- Kevin Marks
or you can just put one person in the circle field
- Kevin Marks
@Francine But when you come you dont call ;-(
- Tina Chase Gillmor
Does G+ support private hangout?
- clive boulton
Thanks Matthew, but that's a bit clunky of a workaround for private messaging isn't it?
- Steven E. Streight
yes, you can invite a circle to a hangout
- Kevin Marks
so make a small circle
- Kevin Marks
LinkedIn is iterating fast. I am starting to read a few things there.
- Laura Norvig
Ah. cool. small circle hangout
- clive boulton
It is hard to survive in business without being on LinkedIn
- Charlie Isaacs
Mike: really? Nearly every tech person I've ever messaged is on Facebook. They might not post often, but almost all are there. Except for the weirdos like Dave Winer and Ryan Block. And they are on Twitter.
- Robert Scoble
To private message in G+ I have to go to my Gmail page, get on GTalk and hope the user is active at that moment?
- Steven E. Streight
Sounds interesting Laura. I'd be interested in that nptech group.
- Mark Krynsky
I found my job at Aol through linkedin, it showed me one of my friends that works there and had them submit my resume... boom! Very powerful
- Matthew Voshell
LinkedIn continues to have some usability issues.
- Steven E. Streight
I'll add you, Mark! Oh. Are you going to NTC?
- Laura Norvig
Why did LinkedIn get rid of the Amazon reading list?
- Steven E. Streight
steven - pop up the chat window and choose the person, easy
- Kevin Marks
Unfortunately not Laura.
- Mark Krynsky
Long press the notification to disable it
- Kevin Marks
Thanks Kevin. But I still think G+ needs a Private Message function on the G+ page itself.
- Steven E. Streight
I should use Linkedin... I dont
- Tina Chase Gillmor
@Steven... yea you are making this more difficult than it needs to be; if you want instant messagin, sure gchat (prop across gmail and google+) or you can post a message only to them;
- Matthew Voshell
long-press the notification to get to the app setting menu to diabel that apps ones
- Kevin Marks
Tina, your job is secure ... I think
- Laura Norvig
I wonder if the average non-geeky user of G+ understands how to private message someone on G+ though....
- Steven E. Streight
Must see battery life talk. Performance from the Radio up. http://www.meetup.com/seattle...
- clive boulton
WhatsApp is a mainstream app
- Kevin Marks
I'm not "making it too difficult", I'm advocating better usability and intuitive functionality for average users of G+.
- Steven E. Streight
it's located directly below your "posting" section where it says "who do you want to share this with?" and you select either all people, a couple circles, or a couple people. It allows targeted "messaging" in a powerful way... just no one is on there to send it to ha :/
- Matthew Voshell
Ilya Grigorik (Google) http://velocityconf.com/velocit...
- clive boulton
Who is using LinkedIn status updates as much as they use FB status updates or Twitter tweets?
- Steven E. Streight
I autopost to LinkedIn
- Francine Hardaway
WhatsApp nothing hotter
- clive boulton
LOL Matthew. Thanks. I think.
- Steven E. Streight
Laura ...maybe ;-)
- Tina Chase Gillmor
Yea, i NEVER post on linkedin really... I just see who' changing jobs and connected to people i'd like to keep tabs on for future job searches
- Matthew Voshell
Autopost using what tool?
- Steven E. Streight
Facebook is HORRIBLE about explaining their UI, features. "Normals" have NO IDEA.
- Laura Norvig
So LinkedIn status update tool is not used much? I am starting to use it more.
- Steven E. Streight
They have a lot of controls that only appear on mouseover, too
- Laura Norvig
Facebook's the new SAP, too much privacy configuration complexity
- clive boulton
I aspire to be on everyone's "With Friends Like Him I don't Need Enemies" list
- Charlie Isaacs
Good question, Steven. Set it up so long ago I forgot.
- Francine Hardaway
Laura - -right again about FB features
- Tina Chase Gillmor
Too convoluted to configure privacy on FB?
- Steven E. Streight
Buffer, Steven
- Francine Hardaway
I'm in my own "I wouldn't want to be part of a group that would have me as a member" group. Wait, whut?
- Laura Norvig
nice one Laura :)
- Charlie Isaacs
Tech people seem to be very active on LInkedIn status updates. You have to click on Home to see the updates. Notifications are not implemented on your LI profile...?
- Steven E. Streight
Someone is video-bombing Kevin
- Tina Chase Gillmor
I have a google circle of all the circles that don't contain themselves
- Kevin Marks
Tech people know how to autopost
- Francine Hardaway
Am I hearing this right? Scoble converted Steve to Facebook. It's cold in Hell today.
- Laura Norvig
I think she's just using the bathroom
- Kevin Marks
now gone
- Tina Chase Gillmor
All I personally want is regex filters.
- John Mann
Notifications can be a major security whole. Authentications to your phone ala google etc..
- Murray Macdonald
Kevin my head hurts now.
- Laura Norvig
Autoposting can lead to duplicate content and truncation issues?
- Steven E. Streight
I need to give Scoble my flowpast android app, but I need to port it to twitter API 1.1 first
- Kevin Marks
Scheduling Facebook posts is an awesome feature. I do it for pages I manage - don't know if personal accounts can do it too.
- Laura Norvig
only on Twitter. If it makes it past Twitter, it's good for LI
- Francine Hardaway
oh curate this
- Tina Chase Gillmor
Instead of autoposting, I do copy and paste, then make sure no truncation issues exist.
- Steven E. Streight
A smart phone would only fetch notification when the phone is slightly moving. If it's been sitting still on the counter for 30 minutes, why update notifications.
- Murray Macdonald
FBs convolutions likely due to MySQL under pinning, they really need a big graph database
- clive boulton
Android apps CANNOT modify or read the notifications as this would be a major security hole.
- Murray Macdonald
Im not using Foursquare that much. People dont need to know how many freaking times I'm at Home Depot
- Tina Chase Gillmor
@Murray: I often set my phone on my desk for hours at a time, but still want notifications.
- John Mann
No. FB privacy setting convolution is deliberate
- Steven E. Streight
Then shake it.
- Murray Macdonald
...I'm at Home Depot A LOT
- Tina Chase Gillmor
I've never seen any reason to use FourSquare.
- Steven E. Streight
here's what Android notifications can do: http://developer.android.com/design...
- Kevin Marks
Google Glass Notifications: You just ran into a wall. You just hit a pole.
- Charlie Isaacs
I use foursquare to find places to go, and also to tarck where i've been
- Kevin Marks
My big question is why video chat/conferencing is not popular with average public.
- Steven E. Streight
That might freak me out
- Francine Hardaway
Google Glass reference is the new Beatles reference
- Tina Chase Gillmor
I'm not excited about Google Glass either.
- Steven E. Streight
deliberate FB privacy setting convolution -- i'll buy it.
- clive boulton
If you check in using Google Checkins, does that benefit Google Now over time?
- John Mann
lost kevin...
- Tina Chase Gillmor
Speaking of Roku, i got the Roku 3... The headhone port on the remote is AMAZING... my wife is much happier with me :) But it has crashed twice in 3 days :/
- Matthew Voshell
Matthew: that is cool.
- Robert Scoble
Kevin: That's what the notification interface supports, but you can't create any alternative to it, nor can an app read notifications as this would be a huge security hole.
- Murray Macdonald
I'm intereseted in usability testing Google Glass, but I don't go out much, so my context is limited. LOL
- Steven E. Streight
Come back, Kevin
- Francine Hardaway
I have an old Roku. Wondering if there is any reason to upgrade.
- Laura Norvig
kevin call back in if you are able
- Tina Chase Gillmor
connectio dropped for me
- Kevin Marks
I got a Roku 3 too just for the Time Warner app which now enables me to return the HD Cable box I've been renting from them.
- Mark Krynsky
Tina, Home Depot should give you a kickback now.
- Laura Norvig
If GoogleGlass can alert you to a mugger approaching, by criminal record context, and what kind of weapon he has -- that would be useful.
- Steven E. Streight
Occulus Rift is what I want to try :)
- Mark Krynsky
That means it won't work in the sun, unless it is shaded like ski goggles.
- Murray Macdonald
it seems like seeing through it would be distracting to the way the brain processes stuff. Harder to read.
- Laura Norvig
Will Google Glass recognize facially someone you look at and link to their profile pages?
- Steven E. Streight
someone tell Robert that he needs to drive 3 hours East to use thos
- Charlie Isaacs
will try to get you back Kevin
- Tina Chase Gillmor
It's called google glass. see Steve... you want one.
- Murray Macdonald
@Laura not unless you want the heaphone jack to stream without bothering people; otherwise the new OS, which the new global serach is brilliant, will get pushed down to the older roku's soon enough;
- Matthew Voshell
Google Glass as predator alert system.
- Steven E. Streight
it was me sorry
- Kevin Marks
Please augment my reality, Google Glass!
- Steven E. Streight
I think Glass has a LOT of potential uses, but I don't think Glass will actually do much of what people will wish it can do.
- John Mann
We want the Humachine super powers.
- Steven E. Streight
Danny talk about your activity tracking devices testing.
- Mark Krynsky
I Scoble wanted to go "all-in" he would use this instead: http://mgitecetech.files.wordpress.com/2011...
- Charlie Isaacs
Danny is keyword optimization chasing now obsolete for SEO?
- Steven E. Streight
yes. Google Glass as predator alert system - I'd buy for my daughter
- clive boulton
Robert looks like The Fly.
- Alex de Soto
Talk about personal drones you can buy now.
- Steven E. Streight
Yes. 2 factor auth.
- clive boulton
just got my fitbit. Krynsky, have you written a blog post on this stuff yet?
- Laura Norvig
I have those same ones on, Danny. I also have a Fitbit, and I'm currently charging my new Basis
- Francine Hardaway
The iWatch. We will be James Bond or Get Smart.
- Steven E. Streight
Notifications to the lock screen is a MAJOR security problem.
- Murray Macdonald
What's a watch?
- Murray Macdonald
shoot Kevin disappeared again
- Tina Chase Gillmor
Like Danny I'm testing all of those and a Bodymedia armband simultaneously...I'll be writing a full comparison soon too.
- Mark Krynsky
iWatch is a wrist worn computer. Love it.
- Steven E. Streight
Google Glass lightning rod? http://www.bloomberg.com/video...
- clive boulton
Apple just has to call it a body monitor and everyone will wear it
- Francine Hardaway
I'm also providing all of my data to someone who reached out to do a data comparison.
- Mark Krynsky
I will get one of the watch devices as soon as they can make it totally waterproof
- Charlie Isaacs
I think the creamery is shutting me down for overuse
- Kevin Marks
iWatch will mean you don't have to carry a smart phone around. You just look at your wrist.
- Steven E. Streight
I might write a comparison, and I might be too bored
- Francine Hardaway
A notification watch is a huge security hole...
- Murray Macdonald
They all suck as truly useful devices. Very primitive
- Francine Hardaway
Hopefully Apple will add additional sensors to the watch...if not, it's a missed opportunity to replace activity trackers.
- Mark Krynsky
Google Glass -- send an email by twitching your cheek?
- Steven E. Streight
Right Mark
- Francine Hardaway
Jack in?
- Tina Chase Gillmor
Google Glass is the next step to internet implants in your skull.
- Steven E. Streight
I can't use Microsoft office 'cos it sucks
- Kevin Marks
Do you use Open Office?
- Steven E. Streight
moores law doesn't work on batteries though
- Kevin Marks
What if the whole band for the iWatch was a solar cell?
- Alex de Soto
You don't like the activity trackers Francine? Strange. I gain quite a bit of value from them.
- Mark Krynsky
A watch screen should be electronic paper. It doesn't need to change that often.
- Murray Macdonald
are we in a Gibson novel?
- Laura Norvig
yes
- Steven E. Streight
Robert is the poster boy for the Singularity :)
- Mark Krynsky
Well the internet is a drug
- Tina Chase Gillmor
the Gibson novel is here, just not evenly distributed
- Kevin Marks
Robart: Now that you're an android guy you can just change your battery.
- Murray Macdonald
Irregularity
- Steven E. Streight
Hi, my name is Laura and I'm an addict.
- Laura Norvig
Did i mention John Scully is invovled with http://www.misfitwearables.com/????
- Matthew Voshell
scoble is the guy at the corner with the sign that says "The End is Near"
- bear (aka Mike Taylor)
I carry two Mophies an an external charger that can charge my iPad an iPhone simultaneously without a power outlet
- Charlie Isaacs
Kevin sendvideo
- Tina Chase Gillmor
there were so many product placements on this show. Sponsors, baby!
- Laura Norvig
Each one logs a different number of steps and different functions Mark, and none of them gives you actionable intelligence other than "do more." This is data, not information
- Francine Hardaway
Robert: Carry an extra battery that fits IN your phone.
- Murray Macdonald
I carry a Mophie and my Ford Sync charges my phone en route
- Francine Hardaway
I've been through 3 Mophie packs, the USB connector is very fragile
- Charlie Isaacs
Why don't they just solar power all these devices?
- Steven E. Streight
Francine, there is definitely compelling stories about people getting competitive about their steps, though. Louis Gray is a fanatic. I think he cheats, though.
- Laura Norvig
Down with Batteries. Up with Solar Cells.
- Steven E. Streight
But what's the end goal, Laura? Is it fitness? Burning calories? Harming your body?
- Francine Hardaway
Heheh.
- Robert Scoble
I was very competitive for years as a runner, and simply overdid
- Francine Hardaway
Solar needs to be unrealistically large to power your phone.
- Murray Macdonald
Then long distance walk instead
- Steven E. Streight
Francine: I ran four marathons in high school so get that too.
- Robert Scoble
Francine, I can draw some interesting correlations and value from the reporting I get but I agree it can get better and I'm seeing some aggregation services that are starting to draw more actionable information as well.
- Mark Krynsky
Murray: yeah, solar doesn't work most days in half moon bay.
- Robert Scoble
Solar is still so primitaive?
- Steven E. Streight
Now I have to walk. Trashed back, bum hip
- Francine Hardaway
Talk about the batteries: you should read the new novel "CyberStorm" by Matthew Mather.
