We watch the latest Sexman Joint before recording Mactalk each week, to get in the mood. My favourite clip is still his review on Raaaaaambo: http://www.fulltimecasual.com/entertainment/thi...

Duncan, can you please allow the videos to appear in my RSS reader? This trend of "still from the video in the feed - click through to watch" is starting to annoy me.

Pete.

Re: Why Facebook May Already Be Killing Twitter

interesting. i added the facebook app in early december too, and have started getting more conversations going with friends "irl" since. but i still get far more responses to tweets on twitter, possibly because i'm so spankingly witty and don't overtweet. :)

so while i'm connecting more on facebook these days because of the twitter app, its more like i'm visiting facebook 4-5 times a week, instead of once a fortnight. but the really noticable thing for me is my non-geek friends saying "you update facebook all the time, you must never leave it" leading me to explain twitter once again, and getting non-geeks interested in twitter for the first time in months...

Oh for the love of god i hope so, i'm so sick of running hotspot shield to watch 30 rock... The buffering is getting worse under Hotspot Shield, to the point where its faster to torrent. (Which means, of course, i'm not watching the ads on hulu...)

You should point out that comedy central doesn't georetard (nice term) its content, i can watch South Park and The Daily Show on their websites.

Re: Yahoo CEO Jerry Yang to step down

Peter
fail call, but the source is already linked in the post...I got it direct from a Yahoo Media release (I have a corporate file for media releases/ company blogs in Greader). It's also not speculation, it's actually confirmed from Yahoo itself.

Since writing it though it would appear that AllThingsD may have had it first, although I only read their stuff after I saw the media release (it broke while I was out buying lunch). I haven't seen it on PC yet, but the crediting on other sites from pre-media release seems to be towards AllThingsD on other sites. Congrats to them on having it, and I'd naturally link to them if they were my source (and we do link to them fairly regularly, not just because I think Kara is brilliant :-) )

Hey Duncan,

Shouldn't you be linking back to paidContent for the CEO speculation, or did you hear this rumour first hand? Sorry, just trying to put the ZDNet article in perspective..

Pete.
