1. He will be missed when he steps down, but we, the fans, know full well he has surrounded himself with an awesome team of smart people who are more than capable of carrying out his vision and taking Apple into the future... still, it will be sad day when he retires - Matt   - 10/15/2008
2. Won't be the same when he does step down. Here's to hoping he stays for a while. - Dave   - 10/15/2008

2. yes in deed. i was very happy to watch this and yes, i had no hope for a usc loss. - MageThufer   - 09/26/2008
3. The Pac-10 is looking ugly right now. Cal lost to Maryland, and UCLA got blasted by BYU. - louisgray   - 09/29/2008

4. I've got it. I'm withholding judgement until Sunday. But it's free, so there really is no downside. - Dave   - 09/29/2008
5. Yeah... i dig it so far... great find Louis, that's for sure. - Matt   - 09/29/2008
6. man if they do this with nascar, looks like i may be standing in line. very cool, not plopping down U$D's yet, but getting close. my youngest son has one and i must say, they are very cool. - MageThufer   - 10/01/2008

1. It's true... I visited the site at least twice during the event and every single time... it was up. Not only up... but at peak performance! (This post gave me a good chuckle.) - Matt   - 06/10/2008
2. I do what I can. Good thing I had all the data backed up just in case! - louisgray   - 06/10/2008

5. i agree, this is a 'good sign' of popularity. as a daily user of shyftr....yes;
   >>is being used as a near realtime content discovery and sharing tool, <<
   a user expectation is somewhat fickle thing at best. your work and implementation with shyftr have been spot on so far.
   i sign on, i get my feeds, i see if others have something to share, i sometimes comment. what is important is that i can do this quickly and efficiently. not bogged down with unnecessary bloat. so far, you guys have done the job well.
   imho; what makes shyftr different, and frankly better that the others......it works. it works cleanly and i can get on with my day. - MageThufer   - 05/31/2008
6. I am confused, because I am not so smart. No data is being removed, but the statistics change? (Reads again and again) - louisgray   - 06/01/2008
7. Two things: Older feed content is going to be archived (not accessible), and numbers that track new items for your feeds will be limited to a month. We haven't yet decided how far back accessible feed content will go. Whether it'll be 3 months, 6 months, etc. But I'd love to hear how far back people read their feeds so that we can make an informed decision. - Dave   - 06/01/2008

1. If I only had a grand. - thattalldude   - 05/28/2008
2. Funny, when I was at the data center the other week, I was staring at the rack thinking, I wish we had solid state drives in the server. If I remember correctly, 1 - 30gb SSD drive was a grand. - Dave   - 05/28/2008
3. My old boss and a good friend is the co-founder of Drobo. It's interesting to see people thinking these are expensive. It's some good technology there, and in theory, it should last you a real long time and keep your data safe. What's more important than your data? - louisgray   - 05/30/2008

1. Could this be improve anywhere? - michael   - 05/22/2008
2. I want an iPhone (sort of). But strapped to my BlackBerry at work... which they pay for... why would I switch? I'd have to pay on my own, switch networks (if not numbers) and... nah. Dang. - louisgray   - 05/24/2008
3. you could keep your own phone number, but I would keep the blackberry if they are paying. I needed to switch carriers and it was less expensive to get an iphone. It may be the best phone I have ever had. However, I was much quicker texting on the pearl. - michael   - 05/26/2008

8. I would have locked the bathroom door and forced people to dump in the aisles....pretty sure the pilot would have changed his tune after that..... - Lee   - 05/14/2008
9. LOL @ Lee... good point. (Though I'm sure there is more than one latrine.) - Matt   - 05/15/2008
10. 10 points for using latrine in a sentence. - Dave   - 05/15/2008

2. Brat. The "We" in the first example is absolutely correct, in that Robert and I would like to be there. The second "We" was overstepping.
   
   When's the Shyftr open house? - louisgray   - 05/13/2008
3. Good question... Dave? - Matt   - 05/13/2008
4. Good things come to those who wait. - Dave   - 05/13/2008

1. Are there any Facebook apps that you like that aren't a complete waste of time? I'm partial to Feedheads and FriendFeed, but that's obvious. - louisgray   - 05/06/2008
2. I'm not convinced Facebook itself isn't a complete waste of time: apps and all... but that's me. - Matt   - 05/07/2008

8. The opml import isn't working for me. I already sent in feedback. Gave me a few alerts about blog group already being present (can't remember the exact wording) and then got stuck at 56% for the longest time.
   The opml was exported from Google Reader. - galtroarc   - 05/16/2008
9. does not work so well with opml files from google reader. - laban   - 07/12/2008

1. Huge news out of the expo... TC reports someone photographed a Google booth after, get this, being told not to. 2008 has already proven to be an earth shattering year for the Web 2.0 expo. news!! Really intense stuff...
   
   OR
   
   What to do with your uber-branded conference when the whole "high" of your buzzword wears off... 2009 = Web 2.5 expo?
   
   end sarcasm. - Matt   - 04/24/2008
2. The Google booth was pretty cool. It looked inflatable. Having set up our non-inflatable booth, I'm jealous. - louisgray   - 04/25/2008
3. Where are the super secret leaked photos of your non-inflatable booth? It could well be second coolest story to come out of the expo! - Matt   - 04/25/2008

1. How can you mistake a child for a turkey. If this boy was outfitted in the proper hunting garb; orange vest/jacket and cap he should of been easily seen. If the boy was not properly outfitted then shame on the father and throw the book at him. He was responsible for this child and he robbed him of his life.

2. This is ... horrible. Remind me never to take my kids hunting. - louisgray   - 04/21/2008
3. Louis, don't take your kids hunting. - michael   - 04/22/2008
