Wow, it's totally impossible to read the earlier text while the chat is ongoing, since the window keeps jumping to the end when something new appears...

You have to hold the scrollbar while reading :-)

There's a button at the bottom to disable auto-scrolling, right next to the speaker icon.

What's the point of a liveblog here? Why not just IM (which is what this is) your pal and post the conversation later?
Behind a cut tag, so the rest of us don't have to deal with it slowing down the page?
(I mean, I added 127.0.0.1 www.coveritlive.com to my hosts file, so I'll never have to see this vanity junk anyway. But I suspect few people have.)
Hey, isn't it a conflict of interest for you to be reviewing App Store software, too? Have any of the apps you've reviewed been created by your buddies?

Ed said 1:18PM on 7-15-2008
Surely that would make it hard for other people to ask questions?
Big John said 1:25PM on 7-15-2008
Ed, the questions that actually got answered really didn't contain anything new. I agree it would be nice to let readers ask questions but that didn't seem to happen in the first place.
Tom said 1:26PM on 7-15-2008
I don't think you know what "conflict of interest" means. That's like saying you shouldn't use Erica Sadun's flashlight app (despite its price: free) as opposed to the two other flashlight apps (both of which cost money) because Erica happens to blog for TUAW. If you wonder how they are similar, it is because both statements are ridiculous.
Bob S. said 2:06PM on 7-15-2008
Oooh, Sadun's posse is turning on me! Not that TUAW is a journalistic enterprise or that any of TUAW's writers are journalists, but without a clarification, I have no idea whether Sadun is reviewing apps written by friends of hers. Sorry, Sparky, but it's no different from the disclaimer regularly added to the bottom of every post in which TUAW discusses other properties owned by AOL.
KeynoteKen said 3:12PM on 7-15-2008
You mean something like those disclaimers they use like
"Giving full disclosure, I am the developer of the app"
or
"Such and such company is a subsidiary of AOL" (I've actually seen those, before.
Makes sense and should be easy enough to do. Only if they want to, though.

I have a feeling not all the user comments are showing up...pytey is answering but i see no questions

Wow, I like the way installer.app is hyperlinking. This would be a great TLD...
Reply
James said 1:16PM on 7-15-2008
I don't see why you couldn't make money with jailbroken apps. It's not like Cydia and Installer will be the only ways to install apps, right? If somebody creates a side-loading installer, that could be used to install apps not otherwise available through Cydia and Installer. And you could charge for those apps.

Is there a possibility of being able to run apps written in the sdk on a hacked iphone without going trough apple?

This chat was a farce.
Erica let fluff piece questions such as "what charity can we donate to" and "ZOMG UR AWESOME

Big John said 1:23PM on 7-15-2008
This really is nothing new for TUAW jailbreak posts. I think Erica could be an amazing writer if she focused on that instead of the bright headline of 'LOOK JAILBREAK STUFF!'
Richard said 1:30PM on 7-15-2008
John, sorry, my comment got cut off somehow.
This chat was absolutely useless. Told us nothing.
Remind me to go click a ton of ads for Weblogs competitors today in protest.
Big John said 1:23PM on 7-15-2008
Summary: read our blog, I can't comment on that, generic answer #76.
Yawn. I just can't get myself to care about the jailbreak community. It seems like a niche market to me and just because Erica is (supposedly) active in that market doesn't mean it should be getting the press on TUAW it has received over the last year.

Tsk tsk...deleting comments that criticize the coverage?
How despicable.
