[02:38] if you buy external hard drives, you should avoid the SimpleTech ProDrive (mine is a triple interface, 1 TB model). The case is ridiculously difficult to open (unless you want to crack all the hinges, and such) [03:43] Well the news about Nokia is not that surprising. I am surprised it took MS this long to buy a phone manufacturer considering they have never made any headway in the phone market [03:46] Nokia used to be worth $245 billion and is now only worth $7 billion USD. Some are saying it is the biggest business failure in history [03:47] I don't think Enron lost that much money [04:41] I think this would make a nice archiveteam badge http://pinterest.com/pin/381961612117246274/ [04:41] omf_: I don't think Microsoft bought Nokia proper, just its handset business [04:42] that said, I'm not sure what's left -- maybe Nokia R&D, if that still exists [04:44] what is going to be left? [04:44] Is the rest getting sold to another company? [04:44] their mapping division [04:44] Nokia bought NAVTEQ a while back and still owns them, AFAIK [04:45] I bet someone is going to bid on that [04:45] eventually, maybe [04:45] they also have a big patent portfolio on basic cellular technologies [04:45] which Microsoft may or may not have bought; I can't tell [04:46] if they bought it, this shit is going to get even more awesome than it already is [04:46] where by awesome of course I mean facepalm [04:47] https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/news/press/2013/Sep13/09-02AnnouncementPR.aspx [04:47] They are going to license the patents and other services [04:48] so they're licensing them, but not taking ownership [04:48] hmm ok [04:48] It probably makes it easier to bet past regulators that way [04:49] Microsoft Lumia [04:49] heh [04:49] no, wait, Microsoft Surface PH [04:52] yeah that sounds about right [04:52] Get a "Surface Pro Phone" [05:55] g4tv.com-video55614-flvhd: Around The Net: The Best Of Steve Jobs: http://archive.org/details/g4tv.com-video55614-flvhd [06:59] Skype: $8.5B. Nokia: $7.2B [07:00] I wonder how many of the 32,000 workers at Nokia MS is going to fire in the first year [10:42] we need an agent in china :O [11:52] mind adding my name to the Happy birthday topic list? It's today, and I'll be at work [12:32] so i may get all hd nation 2012 episodes uploaded [13:43] http://www.theverge.com/2013/9/2/4686228/time-your-tweets-to-disappear-with-using-a-simple-hashtag-twitterspirit Not sure how I'd go about it, but I feel like archiving every tweet with an expiry hashtag [14:14] so i may start backing up tekzilla daily [14:14] its like 1600+ episodes [14:15] i may do something different with this one [15:16] anyone ever done twit.tv ? [20:44] SketchCow: I just listened to your speech/presentation on the Failure of Wikipedia. I really enjoyed it. You're a good speaker, man. Do you ever plan on coming to Colorado and doing a presentation? I don't really know of any 'Cons' out here besides the Denver ComicCon. [21:00] This year, I'm speaking in Kentucky and Belfast. [21:02] DerbyCon? [21:11] http://www.kitkat.com/#/home [21:12] That is a fantastic parody they have going on there [21:12] It supports both The Cloud and Mobile experiences. lol [21:15] I am going to be the first on my block to own a kitkat 4.4 [21:20] http://www.android.com/kitkat/ [21:20] still on 4.2 here :/ [21:21] I am still on 2.3 [21:21] My phone hasn't broken down yet so no need to buy a new one [21:49] Here is an article on why Penny Arcade is just a pile of shit http://elizabethsampat.com/quit-fucking-going-to-pax-already-what-is-wrong-with-you/ [21:57] Also the konami code works on the kitkat site [21:58] :D [22:05] omf_: what keys do you use? up, up, down, down, left, right,left,right, a,b ...?
