Wow. Serena loses her cool after getting called for a foot fault, threatens the line judge, and gets a point deducted which costs her the match.

As Android gets injected into more and more device types, I would expect the services that unite these devices to become more valuable and to provide more utility than the devices themselves. This will be a good thing for the Android OS, as it will be able to stay slim and easily portable.

"Starting Sept. 29, most cars traveling east on Market will be banned beginning at Sixth Street. Eastbound cars will be encouraged to turn right on 10th Street - and if they don't, they must turn right once they get to Eighth Street. Any cars that get onto Market from Seventh Street will be forced off at Sixth."

I don't think this debate is really about the speed of the stream. Twitter and FriendFeed both expose followers which provide for a more efficient feedback loop. RSS/Atom subscriptions are mostly anonymous. There's no need to add complexity to this simple polling technology when we have other solutions like XMPP that are better suited to complement pubsub with support for notifications.

Saw the last part of the rerun. I do concede that Loren and Scoble debating the legitimacy of Twitter as a news source, etc. was more entertaining than Loren pimping his conference. However, it would have been nice to get a sanity check from someone like Dan Farber too.
