G+_Matt Lyons Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 Leo on Facebook: "Stop exaggerating and worrying about these evil scenarios that haven't happened yet" Leo on the FCC rulings: "The world is going to end and the absolute worst case scenario is going to happen." He is doing the exact same thing he was mocking people for doing with Facebook privacy stuff. He's assuming the absolute worst scenario and arguing as though it's fact.

G+_Uncle Joe (Uncle Joe Hi Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 Yeah sometimes he and others on TWiT say contradictory things. You have to filter them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Donald E. “Don” Riley Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 Seems Leo does a lot of backtracking IE: Chrome books, XP Support end. I don`t know if hes right on the Net Neutrality thing, but you never hear the other side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Eugene Choi Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 Bob Nielsen I don't agree with that. The messenger is not intrinsic to the message. The good news is that Leo is mono-focused, so maybe he can agitate enough people to address one problem. And you can't fix the nebulous Facebook "threat". Either you strangle Facebook in its cradle and lose out on what it offers, or you leave a potential threat to you alive, like you do with everyone else on the planet.

G+_Josh Frye Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 Actually , your thinking that the FCC rules and Facebook are in the same league with each other. Your making two dissimilar issues into the same issue. The Facebook issues about how advertisers are tracking the things you do so they can beat out the other advertisers to get your money. The FCC issue is based upon the network providers controlling everything that goes on the net through pricing everything in their favor. To boil it down even further: The facebook topic is about competition and the FCC thing is one trying to keep a monopoly from happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Uncle Joe (Uncle Joe Hi Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 So they're both about competition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Josh Frye Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 Joseph Polk The two sides of the competition coin, one there is enough, the other there isn't any. Not saying the group might not have been in the "sky is falling" mode. But it is two different issues, that can have to different responses. (At least in my opinion, everyone is free to disagree with me though.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Quincy Earl Jones Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 Scooble is a Facebook FanBoy for real. Nothing wrong with that I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Josh Frye Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 Quincy Earl Jones I am not really a John D fanboy, even if I come off as that. But I am sure as hell not a Scobble fanboy, something about him just doesn't sit right with me. So I can understand why people aren't John D fans of any sort.

G+_Quincy Earl Jones Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 Josh Frye What I don't like about him is that he tries to dominate wherever he appears. I could see Leo Laporte and even Brian Brushwood trying to contain him during the episode. I LITERALLY spent the episode yelling "Shut the hell up, Scooble! Let someone else talk!" at my TV. Poor Marques Brownlee . EVERY TIME he stopped talking it was because of an interruption from Scooble. Then to have the nerve to say "Kinda hard to jump in when you're remote, huh Marques?" Then who do you know that openly attacks the chat room because they don't agree with your point of view or are not fellow Facebook fanboys. Hey, Facebook is cool and all but I can live without it. No Scooble, I don't owe Facebook anything so quit telling me how much they have "given" me that I don't pay for. He really made this episode frustrating to watch.

G+_z00h Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 Dennis D. McDonald Consistency is not important if you're an opportunist like our Brian Brushwood. He's quite funny still hence I'm going to close my eyes and pretend it didn't happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
