Any downloadable version?

Shhh.. don’t let anyone else know, but Firefox has add-ons that can download video files such as on YouTube.. I installed ‘Download Helper’, and have collected lots of movie trailers both to go with movies I have via my DVR (ReplayTV, FYI… yes, they’re still around).

The talk mentions the MythBuster’s light bulb myth and mentions that they forgot something during their analysis, what is that “something” (curious because I really enjoyed that particular segment)

That’s great, except playing a film clip of a film clip winds up being unintelligible. So the beginning is hard to figure out what the talk is going to be about because I cannot understand more than about one word out of twenty that is being said.

Phil, I’m sitting in a jury room in downtown Atlanta and decided to see what’s on your site, and I found this. It’s a great talk you “have”, and very educational and entertaining! I have now met several of the people you speak of, and this skepticism thing might catch on. (Boy – how many grammatical errors can you cite in THAT sentence?)

Sooner will be better than later.

@ Nigel Depledge,

Yeah, now that you’ve mentioned it, that should be gave, not “have”. Either that or it’s some sort of funny American English.

I have just a small note; Uri Geller’s first name is pronounced Oori, not a Yuri

@ Ivan3man (1) – I was thinking “gave” rather than “had”. Either way, methinks ’tis a typo.

Chris Pirillo’s a Mac fan, though not necessarily a fanatic. I help friends with Macs on occasion, but I prefer Windows.

Anyone else notice how many macbooks there were?

Phil Plait: "Back in August, I have a talk at Gnomedex..." That should be past tense: had, not "have".
