@gsabbi Thanks guys! Now I actually have to learn how to be a ham! in reply to gsabbi #
@Tom5921 @sarahlane two minutes is way too short! 😉 in reply to Tom5921 #
@therealizzy @donmcallister @spotify @rdio I love rdio – and am a subscriber. But I think Spotify might beat it for social and speed. in reply to therealizzy #
@stormin You hate Google that much? What do you use for search? in reply to stormin #
@donmcallister @paulshadwell I apologize for my dreadful accent. God save the Queen! in reply to donmcallister #
@totalkharnage Really? You love iTunes? It's a pig – and desperately needs modernization. in reply to totalkharnage #
Thanks @Chief717c I'm so excited about becoming a ham – a whole world of new things to learn. And new gear to buy! in reply to Chief717c #
Thanks @TiChall – now for my first radio. Gordo WB6NOA suggests the Kenwood TH-D72. You agree? in reply to TiChall #
@MartinJohnson Precisely. in reply to MartinJohnson #
@therealizzy @donmcallister @spotify @rdio Yes Facebook only – but you can put Spotify URLs anywhere to share playlists. in reply to therealizzy #
@voyagerfan5761 @google I'll check – I agree Listen needs updating. in reply to voyagerfan5761 #
@SteveLeveen I've been hamming it up for some time! But always as a pro. Now that I'm an amateur I'm all a tizzy. in reply to SteveLeveen #
@Nightveil @donmcallister I was just teasing. I love ZZ Top! in reply to Nightveil #
@MartinJohnson Not at all – companies would compete to create the best products. Best for users. Lawsuits only benefit lawyers. in reply to MartinJohnson #
@MartinJohnson All innovation builds on what came before. No progress happens without it. Lawsuits over patents impede progress. in reply to MartinJohnson #
Ha @SteveLeveen – my sombrero is too downmarket for Levenger! Thanks for the great Journals for @AbbyLaporte tho. She loves them! in reply to SteveLeveen #
Really @MartinJohnson? I sincerely doubt @reckless supports software patents. Let's ask him. Nilay? in reply to MartinJohnson #
@Disaster_Guy @chief717c Absolutely. I've already inquired! in reply to Disaster_Guy #
@reckless @martinjohnson I'm all for patents – the question is do _software_ patents make sense. I think there's a strong case against. in reply to reckless #
Thank you @ramsubramanyam @reckless @martinjohnson – the prosecution rests. in reply to ramsubramanyam #
Actually @reckless @reneritchie pagerank is patented. Expires in 2017 in reply to reckless #
@ppratik96 The big problem is that if a show doesn't take off at the start it's really hard to build audience later. in reply to ppratik96 #
@VODBurner I'll add you to the web page – thanks for the info! in reply to VODBurner #
