grow up people. honestly. CES is a big old circle jerk wankfest in the need of some fine insurrection tactical media artwork. which this was. well played. The only thing more fun would have been if somehow one could make a really tiny HDMI signal generator and slip that into the ports on screens. Now that’d be funny. What this does remind me of too is my young days (about 11 or 10) when I would uh, alter the IBM PS1’s and Packard Bell’s at Sears. fdisk? anyone? In all seriousness though, fucking with presentations while funny probably sucked for those people. But come on, who at CES never wanted to fuck with the dancers and pitchmen?

Ethan,
I would just like your visitors to nte that the headline belongs to Global Neighborhoods and reflects my opinion. The text paragraph is yours, not mine. By putting the “From Global … ” line below your text you may mislead people into thinking your words reflect my thinking which is entirely the reverse.
“What this does remind me of too is my young days (about 11 or 10) when I would uh, alter the IBM PS1’s and Packard Bell’s at Sears.”
Hmm… so you think that grown men should be acting like 11 year olds?
I thought I was the only one the f’d with the computers at Sears!

Funny thing is, with smart people, these are not challenges. With smart partners, they are open opportunities.

seriously: awesome news if this is true. I hope they provide API hooks through XMPP payloads as well, as some good ole stateful API programs would be every nice indeed. Death to HTTP polling! FBML pushes through XMPP for the win!

This is an incredible story that I didn't know much about, but every jew and non-jew should read and be inspired by.

The ultimate twitter revenue is the use of premium SMS to provide for "fanclub" type feeds for some individuals. These would be exclusive feeds with some public messages and some private. For instance, imagine a band X that had a 1 dollar a month Twitter feed. The private 1 dollar a month feed included exclusive information, links to songs, etc. Also another twitter revenue source that can't happen if they don't fix their infrastructure: reselling the infrastructure! Getting good economies of scale with their SMS gateway and reuse from the HTTP and XMPP API's. The premium SMS one I've been hounding Ev and Biz about for a year now. I want it!
