Who knew? RT @effandsteph: About time the internet gave us a cat dressed as a shark riding a Roomba chasing a duck. http://24.media.tumblr.com/6986166623219890aecb766874bcdd14/tumblr_mldjvvNI0Z1r6uouqo1_500.gif …

@jsnell @jeffporten @harrymccracken just in case you are paying attention, 45MB x 250,000 / 1024 = 11 Terabytes for a 2.5 hour 4K film
@jperlow @jsnell @harrymccracken I’m assuming that the content isn’t movies, more like “outdoor vistas”.
Note to self: no baseball caps until Boston suspects are caught, because I’m pretty sure I have the same skin tone as the very fuzzy photos.
- Joe Kissell:
Words I like to see on a sushi menu: “Add bacon to any roll $2.” Sabuku on Adams Ave.
@joekissell Raw bacon?
@Total_Rewards Less than pleased that the Showboat website advertises the 10 base pt buffet promo, which expired in Feb.
- Rob Pegoraro:
#CES folks at Pepcom’s Digital Experience event, has it gotten any less packed over there?
@robpegoraro lines just got much shorter.
- Rob Pegoraro:
@jeffporten Splendid! Because I’m now hungry and thirsty. (The exhibitors there will have to wait.)
@robpegoraro I was impressed by how they scattered around the cookies and coffee so you had to see more booths.
@joekissell Note to self: Joe prefers Canadian thick-sliced sake.
Hungry, comfy chair, kitchen over eight feet away. Sudo someone email me a sandwich.
@jperlow @jsnell @harrymccracken But longer content could dl-in-advance (at first), where the issue isn’t bandwidth but monthly data caps.
- Jason Perlow:
@jeffporten @jsnell @harrymccracken You’re still talking multiple terabytes per film.
@jperlow @jsnell @harrymccracken no argument that crappy US Internet has to improve, for many reasons.
- Kirk McElhearn:
Up way to early on move day. #YorkHereICome
@mcelhearn Start spreading the s. I’m leaving today. I’ll make a brand start of it in old York. #SongsEditedForKirk
- Josh Centers:
@jsnell @GlennF @meharris Video game consoles can’t even do proper 1080p yet, and many Blu-Ray transfers look terrible. 4K is a joke.
- Josh Centers:
@GlennF @jsnell @meharris I hope the physical disc dies by then. But Ultraviolet is not a good sign.
@GlennF @jcenters @jsnell @meharris I can’t see that brand without thinking of the Milla Jovavich movie (whose name I just looked up).
- Josh Centers:
@jeffporten @GlennF @jsnell @meharris Haha, me too. I come from a world you may not understand.
- Ryan Kelly:
Stumbled upon “Under Fire” w/Nolte + Hackman the other day. Had never heard of it but was amazing. Felt real by not trying too hard.
@ryankelly That was actually shown in one of my Penn classes. Thought it was amazing. (Also the reason why I saw “A Man Called Horse.”)
- Rob Griffiths:
So Mtn Lion removes the Web Sharing entry (stop/start Apache) from the Sharing System Prefs panel. Remote Apple Events stays, though? #Dumb
@rgriff I think Apache now defaults to “on”, on the theory that nontechnical users don’t care whether there’s a live server w/no pages.
- Rob Griffiths:
@jeffporten it didn’t on my newly-upgraded system—it was definitely off.
@rgriff yeah, meant to add: if you upgrade, it retains the prior setting.
- Rob Griffiths:
@jeffporten Figures I upgrade while I had it disabled for some other projects :)
- Glenn Fleishman:
Help, @wynkenhimself: Why is “Poor Richard, an Almanack” universally referred to as “Poor Richard’s Almanack”? Ben (age 8) wants to know.
@GlennF @wynkenhimself Not 100% sure, but I think Ben himself referred to it as Poor Richard’s in his Autobiography.
- David Chartier:
Is there a comic book about the industry that has to test and make all the spandex for superheroes? Seems like that should be a thing.
@chartier If it’s not a comic book, it certainly should be a softcore porn flick.
- Glenn Fleishman:
@Angry_Drunk You left out the ¨ dude
- Darby Lines:
@GlennF for the record, the current special at my pub comes with a “wasabi ‘aeoli'”.
- Glenn Fleishman:
@Angry_Drunk But aïoli is the Provençal spelling, I think. The ï is the letter. It’s not aeoli.
- Darby Lines:
@GlennF the real crime against humanity is; it’s actually just mayonnaise.
- Glenn Fleishman:
@Angry_Drunk That is the greatest punchline.
@GlennF @angry_drunk Sounds to me that the greatest punchline would be Mïraçlé Whïp.
- Dave Pell:
Jewish men are better lovers because they absolutely cannot get over the shocking fact that sex is actually happening.
- Patrick Matthews:
Make that 6. But, ouch! RT @nacin: Girl at bar to @williampd: “You have a BlackBerry? You’re like one of the last five people in the world.”
@matthews_p Especially bad if delivered to someone wearing a Members Only jacket.
@jsnell @harrymccracken @jperlow I don’t disagree, but I’ve been burned too often to set a number on the timeline.
- Jason Snell:
@jeffporten @harrymccracken @jperlow I hate setting numbers too, but when I look at 4K I have a hard time seeing rapid consumer update.
