  • ryanblock: @Gartenberg An opportunistic unitasker doesn't mean it's not a unitasker. And we all know unitaskers have no chance in today's market.

  • ryanblock: @Gartenberg Do I need to refer to Gartenberg's Laws here?

    11:57:06 pm on November 5, 2009 |

     

  • ryanblock: Would you buy a TwitterPeek? @Gizmodo poll results are FAR from shocking. They need to add a "HELL TO THE NO!" option. http://bit.ly/3UhCmV

  • ryanblock: @CoffeeGeek I'm not a big fan of A2DP headsets, not a very good tradeoff of sound quality, battery life, etc. Does it need to be Bluetooth?

  • ryanblock: Gearing up for a possible surround headset shootout TB Ear Force X41 vs. Astro A40 vs. Tritton AX Pro: http://bit.ly/1iVVdx

  • ryanblock: @Jeff Yeah. It's weird, bc as a writer of reviews, I don't put a ton of stock in them. I think they work best as conveyance of raw data.

    10:29:29 pm on November 5, 2009 |

     

  • ryanblock: @Jeff I'm a big proponent of playing with the device and judging for yourself. A phone is a super personal device, don't take anyone's word.

    10:20:52 pm on November 5, 2009 |

     

  • ryanblock: @dotboom Of course!

    08:48:00 pm on November 5, 2009 |

     

  • ryanblock: @Gartenberg Shutup!

    08:23:03 pm on November 5, 2009 |

     

  • ryanblock: @Armin7 I use an iPhone, T-Mobile isn't much better where I live. I'm just calling it like I see it, no one's forcing you to read me.

    06:33:33 pm on November 5, 2009 |

     

  • ryanblock: BTW, got some feedback that I should skip the X41 and go with the Astro A40... will post about it tomorrow on @gdgt, we'll see!

    10:58:01 am on November 5, 2009 |

     

  • ryanblock: @Trixxy I know, right? Those things almost kind of goad one to behave badly.

    09:48:20 am on November 5, 2009 |

     

  • ryanblock: Five dropped and/or failed calls in a row? Just another day on AT&T.

    09:07:21 am on November 5, 2009 |

     

  • ryanblock: Okay, someone please stop me from dropping $200 on a Turtle Beach X41. http://bit.ly/5VaSz

  • ryanblock: @Vance14 Totally!

    05:57:04 am on November 5, 2009 |

     

  • ryanblock: Playing around with the FreeAgent Dockstar. I'll admit it, I'm a total and complete sucker for gadgets that dock.

    03:05:11 am on November 5, 2009 |

     

  • ryanblock: @atebits Search doesn't update anymore (hasn't for a week+). Lots of other people confirming, you noticed this issue in Tweetie Mac?

    02:35:27 am on November 5, 2009 |

     

  • ryanblock: Testing Sonos Twitter integration: Enjoying Babe I'm Gonna Leave You by Led Zeppelin all over the house on my #Sonos

    02:18:10 am on November 5, 2009 |

     

  • ryanblock: Anyone else noticed that @Tweetie (Mac) Twitter search seems borked? No longer capable of updating regularly and misses new search updates.

    02:08:42 am on November 5, 2009 |

     

  • ryanblock: @dotboom I can't wait!

    01:45:06 am on November 5, 2009 |

     

  • ryanblock: @dotboom Ha! What did I do to deserve Mosspuppet's wrath?

    11:27:42 pm on November 4, 2009 |

     

  • ryanblock: HTC's out of control HD2 is coming to the US in early 2010! Discuss here: http://bit.ly/44tFiv

  • ryanblock: Although I will admit, geeked out Droid phones being shot out of bomber jets is at least a bit more fun than Palm's "crazy Pre lady" ads.

    09:36:50 am on November 4, 2009 |

     

  • ryanblock: Still not sure I'm down with the Droid ads. Seems to me that "menacing" is the very last thing you'd shop for in your most personal device.

    09:31:59 am on November 4, 2009 |

     

  • ryanblock: @finderic Hell yes!

    08:07:21 am on November 4, 2009 |

     

  • ryanblock: @kevinrose @ethank Got the S5 in today if you want a sneak peek.

    06:02:14 am on November 4, 2009 |

     

  • ryanblock: @jonursenbach Well look at you, Mr. Fancypants.

    04:28:42 am on November 4, 2009 |

     

  • ryanblock: The collective wisdom of the gadget community is unbelievable. Discussions like this are why I wanted to do @gdgt: http://bit.ly/1zodc0

    12:58:37 am on November 4, 2009 |

     

  • ryanblock: Hear hear! RT @Veronica: @kwmurphy happy birthday!

    12:52:01 am on November 4, 2009 |

     

  • ryanblock: Popped by Gamestop but managed to resist Left 4 Dead 2 and Borderlands -- don't need any distractions from Modern Warfare 2!

    11:01:02 pm on November 3, 2009 |

     

  • ryanblock: Flash's pervasiveness is a legacy web symptom: we need to move towards new, open web standards, and away from--not further towards--Flash.

    09:17:02 pm on November 3, 2009 |

     

  • ryanblock: Funny seeing Adobe get petty about Flash on the iPhone. Maybe if Flash wasn't so godawful it wouldn't be so hard to justify its inclusion.

    08:53:35 pm on November 3, 2009 |

     

  • ryanblock: Somewhat disappointed to learn that there are nearly 150 other Ryan Blocks on Facebook. Unique snowflake my ass!

    06:54:30 pm on November 3, 2009 |

     

  • ryanblock: Minor debate: upconversion = 1. converting SD -> HD, or 2. converting analog video (including component) to digital (i.e. HDMI)? I'm for 1.

    10:32:07 am on November 3, 2009 |

     

  • ryanblock: @JmBoul @justynboudreau Lots of people offering to help us move to brown, but I've had some experiences... Maybe email me? ryan at gdgt

    09:23:03 am on November 3, 2009 |

     

  • ryanblock: Choice of a 6AM or a 3PM flight, eh? How about, say, a 10AM flight instead? A traveler can dream, I suppose.

    09:03:04 am on November 3, 2009 |

     

  • ryanblock: Campfire is down. Again. Sigh.

    07:48:44 am on November 3, 2009 |

     

  • ryanblock: @Gartenberg Oh yeah, I stopped watching a long time ago.

    05:03:21 am on November 3, 2009 |

     

  • ryanblock: Anyone negotiated with FedEx small biz? Want to get a better rate for our @gdgt account so we can ship giveaways out faster.

    09:22:24 pm on November 2, 2009 |

     

  • ryanblock: Oh, yeah, I guess the decade is coming to a close like, next month. Cheers to ya, oughts.

    06:22:18 pm on November 2, 2009 |

     

  • ryanblock: That's new: working at a window with so much light it's shining through the Apple into the business end of my MBP screen.

    11:37:45 pm on November 1, 2009 |

     

  • ryanblock: @foxycar Wait, so is that now an un-PC term or something? When did that happen?

    10:12:30 pm on November 1, 2009 |

     

  • ryanblock: Not often you have a waitress frank enough to say, "No, don't get that, it's not good." Thanks!

    08:59:41 pm on November 1, 2009 |

     

  • ryanblock: OH: "That costume was neither sexy, nor Batman."
