| *schestowitz looks | Jan 22 02:00 |
| schestowitz | I wonder if he wrote his speech | Jan 22 02:00 |
|---|
| schestowitz | I bet you they had people scanning the text to interpret how every race class and gender might perceive the words | Jan 22 02:01 |
|---|
| schestowitz | The whole thing is PR.... a face to hide what happened at 'the back of the store; | Jan 22 02:01 |
|---|
| jose | the speech started to get written possibly many years ago | Jan 22 02:02 |
|---|
| jose | Twitter saw five times the normal tweets-per-second, surging as Obama took his oath, and the once-temperamental site managed to stay up throughout the ceremony. Facebook got more than one million status updates on Tuesday, peaking at 8,500 updates every minute of Obama’s speech. GigaOm estimated that between photos, videos, tweets, live blogging and status updates the inauguration could have been the most user-generated content even | Jan 22 02:02 |
|---|
| jose | t ever. As is, it was the fifth most watched event online ever. | Jan 22 02:02 |
|---|
| schestowitz | I know. | Jan 22 02:02 |
|---|
| schestowitz | Does that ceremony matter (other than for historical reference)? | Jan 22 02:03 |
|---|
| schestowitz | Bear in mind that: | Jan 22 02:03 |
|---|
| jose | extrapolating that everyone was watching TV. Or, they were on Facebook and Twitter instead, | Jan 22 02:03 |
|---|
| schestowitz | 1) every word he utters ("hope" "unity" etc.) he is told by a campaign manager (PR person) to say to grab some more votes | Jan 22 02:03 |
|---|
| jose | streaming: ... | Jan 22 02:03 |
|---|
| jose | "There was similarly mixed news for online video streaming. CNN, and others, hyped up the millions of live-streams on their sites, while TechCrunch snarked that technical glitches and bandwidth issues signaled more of a failure on the part of video streaming than a success. " | Jan 22 02:03 |
|---|
| schestowitz | I look at who 'he' appoints | Jan 22 02:03 |
|---|
| schestowitz | He doesn't even appoint people | Jan 22 02:03 |
|---|
| jose | btw, all of this i have posted has been a quote.. sorry to leave the quotation marks out | Jan 22 02:04 |
|---|
| schestowitz | He has people 'holding his hand' when he gives power to advisors, managers, and so on. | Jan 22 02:04 |
|---|
| schestowitz | jose: that's OK. Did it really cost 170 million? | Jan 22 02:04 |
|---|
| jose | i'm reading what you are saying.. but i'm looking for qoutes | Jan 22 02:04 |
|---|

|---|
| jose | http://www.alleyinsider.com/2009/1/obama-inau... | Jan 22 02:05 |
|---|
| schestowitz | That's an obscene amount. I saw it somewhere. | Jan 22 02:05 |
|---|
| jose | And the early numbers are in: News web sites saw about 5.4 million visitors per minute, making Obama's taking of his oath of office the fifth biggest web event since Akamai (AKAM) started its tracking in August 2005. | Jan 22 02:05 |
|---|
| schestowitz | You'd think that having a guy give a speech would only require paying some security staff. | Jan 22 02:05 |
|---|
| jose | anyway, i was looking for streaming stats | Jan 22 02:05 |
|---|
| jose | it seems most people weren't watching the streaming | Jan 22 02:05 |
|---|
| schestowitz | But hey, what's 0.2bn when the nation owes 10,000bn to other countries? | Jan 22 02:06 |

| MinceR | i hope this worm will deal so much damage it will shake these m$-cultists out of the dream world they're living in | Jan 22 12:38 |

| Omar871 | MinceR: Oh yeah the "sleeping worm" you mean? | Jan 22 12:40 |
|---|
| MinceR | i mean Conficker/Downadup | Jan 22 12:41 |
|---|
| Omar871 | MinceR: Yeah this is what I meant. | Jan 22 12:42 |

| Omar871 | should *be* a fair punishment | Jan 22 12:47 |

| Omar871 | brb | Jan 22 12:47 |
|---|
| MinceR | they didn't knowingly choose to use windows | Jan 22 12:52 |
|---|
| MinceR | so m$ should be punished too | Jan 22 12:52 |

| MinceR | especially for the autorun.inf sechole that's been around for at least 13 years now | Jan 22 12:52 |

|---|
| Omar871 | :) | Jan 22 13:30 |

| schestowitz | seller_liar: I need your assistance... | Jan 22 17:15 |
|---|
| seller_liar | schestowitz: Is it possible to associate boycottnovell links with m$ internal documents in wiki? | Jan 22 17:15 |
|---|
| schestowitz | seller_liar: Comes (at Iowa) was settled within weeks, but we grabbed about 9000 exhibits that I gradually go through. They get organised in the BN Wiki with help from other people and we then publish the smoking guns (about 1 a day). They were never seen before, so this is still relevant. | Jan 22 17:16 |
|---|
| schestowitz | It's no wonder that Microsoft settled so quickly and requested that the evidence is removed from the site. We hope to bring to your attention what they did -- be it good or bad. A lot of this economic vortex is the result of uncontrollable business behaviour. | Jan 22 17:16 |
|---|
| schestowitz | seller_liar: yes, but not yet | Jan 22 17:16 |
|---|
| schestowitz | The Wiki is still too 'messy' (not fomally written), so it needs more work before going publish | Jan 22 17:17 |
|---|
| schestowitz | I still need to pass 190 more smoking guns there. | Jan 22 17:17 |
