Hello all - this is the right time of day for me for once :) - Nick Halstead

I'm not hearing an echo. - Robert Scoble

sorry about being late, I had 1pm in my head - Kevin Marks

john t and I had a discussion via email about the kindle fire last night ... amazon is going to be 2012/2013 NEWS re: eTextbooks - studentforce

Hi, from the UK. (albeit I'm n Poland..long story) - Scott Jones

hey thanks for the party invite! - Tina Chase Gillmor

re: apps vs. browsers .... Mobile users lean toward apps over browsers [study] - studentforce

Windows Phone won't take off. In the UK its all about Apple and Android/Google. In Europe (outside of the UK pretty much) NO ONE has an Apple...its quite astounding. Its all about Google.Android and nothing to do with Apple..which is interesting - Scott Jones

In for the last "Gang" of the year.. :) - Kevin Costain

Scott: everytime I'm in Europe I see iPhones all over the place. I don't know what Europe you live in. - Robert Scoble

Samsung has already shipped a million tablets with styluses: http://venturebeat.com/2011... - Kevin Marks

ask a student what Microsoft means to them .... my prediction is that at least a third will ask: 'what is microsoft' - studentforce

I think one of Microsoft's imperatives has to be making TOUCH versions of all thier flagship apps.. - Kevin Costain

...again with the parties! - Tina Chase Gillmor

That *is* a big indictment. I would think someone would get one just to be contrarian. - Bruce Lewis

Heh Robert. Talking about Central Europe. I'm British but have been through Slovakia, Hungary, Poland etc and in this part of Europe there are zero iPhones/iPads and basically no Apple. But every 15 year old kid in all these countries has an android phone. Apple dont exist in the new Europe. Which is surprising. I had to get a Samsung as I couldnt get an Apple. But MS....well...they have no chance in Europe. - Scott Jones

also for MS to migrate their shit into the cloud MARGINS will be effected big time and that is assuming they execute flawlessly: http://www.businessweek.com/news... - studentforce

I wish Steve was more Italian and used his hands to talk more ;-) - Tina Chase Gillmor

It's always a "new" world though. There was a time when Android didn't exist at all in this "new" world. Things change. Never say never. :) - Kevin Costain

Are people talking about Roku much? One of my users was asking for a Roku channel. - Bruce Lewis

Bruce: I see Roku come up here and there. But this is a pretty heavy Android iOS show. - Robert Scoble

Must say..i dont have a TV anymore - Scott Jones

coffee anyone? - Tina Chase Gillmor

monitors not expensive any more - Kevin Marks

I've not had cableTV service in almost a decade.. - Kevin Costain

Scott: I'm watching TV less and less. I look at it as a huge ass monitor. - Robert Scoble

I wonder though, when are we going to get a set-top box that can be as FLEXIBLE as simply using a computer? - Kevin Costain

not according to my comcast support rep .... - studentforce

Robert, what tele are you using, a Vizio 3D? - Nir Ben Yona

spectrum plus CONTENT - studentforce

Nir: yup! - Robert Scoble

Occupy Broadband! - Todd Hoff

Robert: Wow. Cool. - Nir Ben Yona

last names only please! - Tina Chase Gillmor

...Glad I caught the last GG of 2011 - ...love you guys - 2012 needs more high power women in tech, BTW - Hey John, Scobes, Mark - ...and Hey SG! - Rocky Barbanica

OK Gillmor! :-) - Robert Scoble

Hi Rocky! - Bruce Lewis

Know what you mean Robert. What's interesting though is I now stream and download everything...erm..for free. Monitisation is an issue for companies I would say - Scott Jones

When the edge is so powerful, does an edge to core strategy really make sense? - Todd Hoff

oh no....it's a streaming show again. oh noooooo - Tina Chase Gillmor

come on, no offence, lets ot have a blooming streaming conversation again! ;) x - Scott Jones

Hey Bruce! - Rocky Barbanica

heheh - Rocky Barbanica

Mark... heheh - I meant Hey Kevin MARKs - Rocky Barbanica

Rocky!!!! - Tina Chase Gillmor

hi Rocky - Kevin Marks

TINA !!! Happy New Year, Doll !!! - Rocky Barbanica

its a sereis of local monopolies - Kevin Marks

Netflix peaked in 2011. Streaming video's becoming a commodity with Comcast, Amazon, Vudu... Netflix is actually falling behind in terms of first run films. - Ken Sheppardson

Happy New Year, btw :-) - Ken Sheppardson

awww Rocky. Thanks and to you and yours! - Tina Chase Gillmor

$5 for the Louis CK show... you get two downloads or 2 chances to stream it. - Kevin Costain

You have to build the audience first via discovery on the aggregators. Louis CK wouldn't have sold what he did without basic cable. - Ken Sheppardson

I paid $5 to watch it.. :) - Kevin Costain

I paid $5 - Kevin Marks

I'll bet you 99% of the folks who gave Louis CK knew him from basic cable already. - Ken Sheppardson

weird we have a Lewis CK model now - Tina Chase Gillmor

I think Louis CK made the money for production costs on the shows themselves (RE: Rolling Stone's article on his recent shows).. the money he made on the online special was allot more gravy.. - Kevin Costain

Ken: I think you're right now - but that will change. It is changing. - Kevin Costain

People don't realize how good OTA quality is now that they've gone digital. - Bruce Lewis

I knew louis CK from youtube - Kevin Marks

I have no idea what Steve just said - Kevin Marks

Bruce: I can't use OTA, got a mountain in between me and the antennas. - Robert Scoble

I knew Louis KC from Pootie Tang.. :) - Kevin Costain

Kevin: YouTube of his Conan appearances or cable shows? - Ken Sheppardson

As business models content and conduit should always be separate, but look at Comcast they are trying to do both - Stephen Pickering

Croquet - Kevin Marks

Rounders - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki... - Nick Halstead

hes Nick - Kevin Marks

CROQUET !!! - Rocky Barbanica

hee hee nick - Kevin Marks

Predict THIS - Rocky's running for Pacifica City Counsel 2012 - Rocky Barbanica

Robert, if you live in Half Moon Bay the view looks better than anything that would be on TV anyway. :-) But seriously, I think the percentage of cable use should be lower given the signal available to a lot of people now. - Bruce Lewis

ROCKY LANDSLIDE! - Bruce Lewis

HEH - LANDSLIDE isn't a very good Coastline platform - especially in Pacifica ! :-) - Rocky Barbanica

Have you read Interface by Neal Stephenson? - Kevin Marks

I think Reich is on to something with a Biden/Clinton swap on the Democratic side - Ken Sheppardson

I'm campaigning for Rocky! - Tina Chase Gillmor

Yeehaw! I GOT this, now - !!! - Rocky Barbanica

It's like waking up and realizing you've been sold a lie all your life that we are the most special country and we run it on real principles, and we have a real democracy. At least these tools allowed us to wake up and see how fake the so called 'establishment' really are - Stephen Pickering

Borthwick keeps sinking into the floor - Tina Chase Gillmor

Isn't robert talking about the US economy conversion from manufacturing to an information/service economy ?? - studentforce

much like in the 1920's when we converted from agriculture to manufacturing ??? - studentforce

There is really no one talking for, or representing the 99% of the population. - Kevin Costain

studentforce: yes. - Robert Scoble

Kevin: and that's the power they had. Not sure they really used it well. - Robert Scoble

I think the OWS activities were just a starting point.. that is probably a sign of things to come.. I wonder if we'll see a full-scale revolt somehow. or even if that is possible.. ? - Kevin Costain

That would be 'crony' capitalism or in Russia Oligarchy? - Stephen Pickering

Robert Scoble: what's unfortunate is that each 'conversion' or migration caused MAJOR economic upheaval. - studentforce

The Black Bloc is also the darker side of all this stuff.... I don't know what it all means.. :( - Kevin Costain

Godaddy testified to congress in favor of SOPA. When they testify against I'll be satisfied. Blog posts don't cut it. - Bruce Lewis

Scoble on Reuters - Tech Trends for 2012 - http://www.youtube.com/watch... - Rocky Barbanica

Friday at 9 or Friday at 1pm better? - Tina Chase Gillmor

...for this show - Tina Chase Gillmor

Stephen: are they both really that different (just a matter of timing), no? - Kevin Costain

Kevin You're right, I think. They are the same, just different names in American and Russia. - Stephen Pickering

Kevin is a British spy. Just figured that out. - Tina Chase Gillmor

radicals! - Tina Chase Gillmor

Giving the number of millionaires and people in power - it's clear that those with most of the money are likely to hold most of the power. They are few. - Kevin Costain

LOL - Rocky Barbanica

http://www.wired.com/threatl... - Kevin Marks

haha.. Bond, James Bond.. :) - Kevin Costain

personalities are not leaders. Social media is the leader - Tina Chase Gillmor

there was a chap a College called Kingsmill La Touche Godfrey Bond - best spy name ever - Kevin Marks

the meme is the leader - Kevin Marks

the Guy Fawkes mask is the leader - Kevin Marks

You can look at it as "no leader" or look at it as more people exercising leadership skills -- the Yosemite trip being a good example. - Bruce Lewis

"A penny for the old Guy." - Stephen Pickering

Perhaps whatever is in FRONT of the masses, is the leader. It could be anything really, no? - Kevin Costain

Kevin, no, no, no, the whole meme is getting away from the power of the Lowest Common Denominator - Stephen Pickering

I think eventually we'll see the rise of fake people leading masses (like that fake pop star in Japan).. humans created virtually to lead the masses.. - Kevin Costain

yes Stephen: "TV is not vulgar and prurient and dumb because the people who compose the audience are vulgar and dumb. Television is the way it is simply because people tend to be extremely similar in their vulgar and prurient and dumb interests and wildly different in their refined and aesthetic and noble interests." - David Foster Wallace - Kevin Marks

Wow, Kevin Marks, love that quote - Stephen Pickering

"Just because something is dead, doesn't mean it's gone" <--- funny :) - Kevin Costain

it's from E Unibus Pluram, his essay on TV which is well worth reading in full - Kevin Marks

Yeah, I definitely will. Thanks - Stephen Pickering

Email is dead. Long live email? - Tina Chase Gillmor

Having set up filtering, Scobleizer will spend less time in email but get more value from it. - Bruce Lewis

Email is most definitely NOT dead. Normal people are still learning how to use it. - Kevin Costain

I lost Borthwick! - Tina Chase Gillmor

The only way I know how to get ahold of anyone directly is via email. Every other method is like waving frantically at someone while they are speeding away and their windows are tinted. - Todd Hoff

Email's just as dead as paper. - Ken Sheppardson

Ken: Right, and NOBODY uses that ancient technology anymore. - Kevin Costain

Exactly - Ken Sheppardson

please help me get this out there http://www.creativeartscharter.org/news... - Tina Chase Gillmor
