Sorry, I don't work for Fast Company anymore. That was a mistake on my badge. Can we have Fast Company removed here? Thanks!

I have a new motto! Living a life worth having Arrington fake check in on. By the way, how come you didn't check in on that lunch Ashton Kutcher and I were having last Friday? At least I have pictures to prove I was there! :-) http://www.flickr.com/photos/scobleizer/477611236... We both checked in, too.

TechCrunch : At The World Series Of Poker Two Founders Are Betting The Company -- Literally

A brother-in-law gambled away his family, house, and more than a million dollars. It's despicable that these two are glamorizing gambling, especially with important assets like stock. Imagine if Woz had gambled away 10,000 original shares of Apple.

I love Plancast and can't wait to see it integrated more into other apps.

Oh, and I had a LOT better luck getting through with Firefox than using Google Chrome. Tried dozens of times and this seemed to be fairly consistent on my end. Consipiracy theory? You decide.

I got through several times but on all my lines it is charging me $599 for a 16GB phone. Even though AT&T says I'm eligible for an upgrade. Off to see the AT&T folks tomorrow. Bummed about not being able to get white, either. I wonder how long those will take?

TechCrunch : Why UJAM Didn't Win TechCrunch Disrupt

Tue, 1 Jun 2010 03:28:18 +0000

If you watch my video I did with Soluto you'll see there IS a disruptive element, though: they use crowds to improve people's Windows experiences. That's something not many are doing and is potentially very disruptive. Hell, if Microsoft were doing stuff like this maybe their stock would be on the move again! http://www.building43.com/videos/2010/05/24/first... is the interview with Soluto in its headquarters in Tel Aviv.

TechCrunch : Why UJAM Didn't Win TechCrunch Disrupt

If that is true then why did the team care so much about launching at TCDisrupt? I interviewed them two weeks earlier and they begged me to hold off revealing anything about them so they wouldn't get kicked out of Disrupt. They care because TCDisrupt +is+ the best place to launch a new company and this is the best startup in Israel right now and can stand up to any startup around the world. Sorry to uJam, but it isn't even in the same category. Microsoft has already launched a similar product and, anyway, how many singers are there in the world? Now compare to how many Windows users there are in the world. Not even close to same potential outcome. Techcrunch was right to pick Soludo. uJam did have a great demo, though (I was the guy filming Sacca above).

That's not true. Here's a video that explains the tech behind Soludo.http://www.building43.com/videos/2010/05/24/first... This has NOT been done before.

You HAVE to be kidding, right? What percentage of the world's computer users are singers? What percentage are Windows users? And, anyway, while uJam gave a killer demo (I got the video of Sacca singing) I swear I've seen this kind of thing several times before, including from Microsoft. Hardly disruptive. Making my Windows machines run better? Definitely disruptive. Microsoft hasn't been able to do that very well despite billions of dollars.

Jason, I have a video up of Soluto here:http://scobleizer.com/2010/05/24/why-can-soluto-d... We visited their offices in Tel Aviv to get this first look and an in-depth look at what they are doing.

I guess that a lot of these changes don't make them apparent until you see them face-to-face. Also, the American media doesn't tell us much about how China really works and what their workers are capable of so we tend to underestimate them. When you visit and get a good tour you see that they are far more skilled than your media tells you they are. I saw a group of workers using a scanning electron microscope. Do you know how to use one of those? I don't. Also, the speed at which things are done here is stunning.

I totally agree. I have dramatically changed my views, too. No longer do I allow even mere jerks in forums I control. They are welcome to be jerks somewhere else, but if they can't be constructive and come for the conversations they are gonna get deleted more and more in my comment areas, FriendFeed clusters, and on the other sites I have something to do with. It's not just racism, either. The stuff aimed at Kathy Sierra and my wife were very awful things. I have no idea why people want to injure other people, but they do. Even if they don't use sticks and stones to do it.
