Comments on: The Global Geek Podcast #70 :: Timmy Opts OutEverything tech, from Web2.0 blogging, the internet to product reviews and software.By: Dave Gray- November 30, 2007 Thanks for all the comments guys, I have read and noted all :) Interesting comments about the social networks. While I have a profile on Facebook, I shared as much as I was willing for them to know. The other thing I don't do is add a crap load of apps. They just crowd the facts imho. Plus I said what I thought of Beacon, and there will be more news on that in this weeks show. Thanks for the insight into the PayPal thing Wade - I did not know it had been done before. Oh and for those reading.http://globalgeek.thepodcastnetwork.com/2007/11/26/the-global-geek-podcast-70-timmy-opts-o... By: George- November 30, 2007 Good show guys. A few brief comments as I need to give a presentation im yet to write. 1. Nice use of dildo in the show Tim! 2. Thanks for your efforts in hosting. 3. Good rant KW! 4. Im still not into social networking perse and dont think I ever will be, but hey lots of the younger crowd here at work (geez i must be old) all have facebook or myspace.http://globalgeek.thepodcastnetwork.com/2007/11/26/the-global-geek-podcast-70-timmy-opts-o... By: Wade- November 30, 2007 Another great show. Tim we will miss you and you insane ability to drop the f bomb at the funniest moments. Show realted comment about PayPal's one time use credit card numbers. American Express was doing this in 2000 with a product called Private Payments. Basically you logged onto Amex's site and generated a card number every time you wanted to use the service. They have since tuned this application off in 2005. The main driver behind this I am sure it that it is easier for them to...http://globalgeek.thepodcastnetwork.com/2007/11/26/the-global-geek-podcast-70-timmy-opts-o... By: Jeffro2pt0- November 29, 2007 First off, another great show guys. Packed with a ton of information. Secondly, it may not seem like it, but I'll miss Tim. The more I listen to him, the funnier he becomes. And wow, what a rant my KW. I couldn't stop wincing in pain as he threw caution into the wind and opened the floodgates. I thought to myself, wow this guy has some balls. At any rate, that was probably one of the harshest rants I have ever heard. At one point, I felt the same way and KW did about Second Life but after...http://globalgeek.thepodcastnetwork.com/2007/11/26/the-global-geek-podcast-70-timmy-opts-o... By: Herne- November 29, 2007 Just a comment that's actually show related--I think that these "social networking" sites are taking and storing far too much personal information about people in the name of "helping". As far as I'm concerned, it's all about targeted marketing and making a buck off the backs of the consumer. I refuse to put anything beyond very basic information (some of it is even true) into these sorts of websites and I absolutely HATE having my activities or surfing habits tracked in the name of...http://globalgeek.thepodcastnetwork.com/2007/11/26/the-global-geek-podcast-70-timmy-opts-o... By: knightwise- November 29, 2007 The fact that you ARE going mad is totally beyond any discussion whatsoever.http://globalgeek.thepodcastnetwork.com/2007/11/26/the-global-geek-podcast-70-timmy-opts-o... By: Dave Gray- November 28, 2007 OK all good - just making sure that all is good and I am not going mad :Phttp://globalgeek.thepodcastnetwork.com/2007/11/26/the-global-geek-podcast-70-timmy-opts-o... By: brie- November 27, 2007 Sorry, Dave, it IS, indeed, the flash player - I was doing several things at once when I sent that comment. Now, when I look at the time (The Global Geek Podcast 70 (MP3 - 31.26 MB - 1:30:59), it gives the correct time. Yesterday, it said 47.48 - or something close to that. I knew it was getting close when you guys were discussing apps, and I looked at the slider - it was almost at the end. So, I looked at the time - it said, as I said, above, 47.something. So, I did not get to hear the...http://globalgeek.thepodcastnetwork.com/2007/11/26/the-global-geek-podcast-70-timmy-opts-o... By: Dave Gray- November 27, 2007 Brie: What is the "My Chingo Podcast" I have no idea what you are talking about. If you refer to the flash player, the one on the blog post that has a play button... It plays the whole thing, it does not stop at 48 minutes (I am playing it now and it is at 1 hour and 25 minutes!). So I am completely lost and have no idea what you are referring to. The MyChingo service refers to a service that allows people to click the link and then leave us a voicemail on the MyChingo service. So you are...http://globalgeek.thepodcastnetwork.com/2007/11/26/the-global-geek-podcast-70-timmy-opts-o... By: Eric- November 27, 2007 anandtech and extremetech have touched on the phenom CPUs behind "spider" and it's not good. btw - DW's Living Planet podcastshowwhatever had Howard on recently. I think it's good you touch on politics and culture. btw2 - people are getting the 8gb ipod touch for about 250$ via paypal's 20% cash back program today. btw3 - i got a shwag bag from S60 today! woohoo! btw4 - you never talk about TPN analytics btw5 - someone added me via skype and never heard from him again. btw6 - netvibes mobile..http://globalgeek.thepodcastnetwork.com/2007/11/26/the-global-geek-podcast-70-timmy-opts-o... |
