Do I Need a Jacket?

Comments

[Richard Walker]

Um, what? Why didn't you mention iPhone Canada? Is the plan going to be that bad?

Perhaps you are protesting the overwhelming overcoverage of the Jeebus phone... now with More Rapture!

Is Amber pregnant? She looks like she is, so congratulations to her if true!

[Fan McFanFan]

Amber needs a jacket. .com.

[Lee Andrew]

Yeah i was thinking the same, she looks pregnant. (Maybe just the odd shape of her top?) Also very beautiful as always, and very sexy if i may say so. :P

[Darran]

Nice new site + cool episode! =)

[Mike]

I liked the photo of the team on the steps on the old site. Hope you'll put an updated one up when you finish the new site.

What kind of camera/rez/framerate are you guys shooting the outdoor shots with? There's something about the "look" I like but I can't put my finger on it.

[Jacob]

I know it's hot weather but it looks to me like Amber was cold. Also, for the same reason, I don't think she was wearing a bra. She's got some perky nipples.

[Jacob]

Also, I'm pretty sure she's not pregnant. There's a lot of shirts that are too poofy in the belly region making girls look pregnant.

Speaking of getting your books via Twitter, check out Leo Laporte, Molly Wood, Tom Merritt, and Jason Howell actually writing a novel on Twitter (although they haven't made much progress lately): http://twitter.com/140novel

I really didn't want to bring this up since I respect Amber for her brains and not her body, but really she needed a jacket.

[Liam K]

Once again, nicely shot. In fact this episode was good all-round.

I'm assuming this is still the temporary site design - going from white & brown to various shades of gray isn't exactly what I'd call an improvement! Looking forward to the new one :)

[Rob]

two words... wardrobe malfunction

[Rob]

Umm, yeah, I'd agree, Amber was either a bit chilled, or just a bit excited to see the sun! However, don't change a thing! I'm sure you're viewership will increase 10 fold if you keep that up! No malfunctions that I noticed, absolutely gorgeous as always!

I seriously doubt she's pregnant, did not appear that way to me at all, just the outfit design, but you have to agree, at had at least 2 good 'points' to it ;)

Video quality was Great (h264.mov), content was great and I'd like to add that Amber was indeed looking fantastic which really added to the podcast for me. A big thanks to Amber! Keep up the good work and I love the comment about not wearing any clothes at all! Whoo Yeah! :-)

[Mike Jay]

It was a good show, as almost all are. You folks who keep commenting on Ambers "look" are sure to get her to "dress more carefully" in future episodes... should have remained quiet! Still, Amber is always nice to look at, but the content and production is what keeps me coming back for more.

[John Smithe]

come on guys, are you all THAT nerdy. Don't you know how rude it is to say a girl looks pregnant? How do you think that makes a girl feel?

And we all saw the video - no need to comment on the obvious perkyness

[Jeff MacArthur]

Um, yeah, Amber's definitely not pregnant or whatever else.

RICHARD: We didn't cover the Canadian iPhone and other announcements just because we filmed before the announcement and just got it up a bit late.

That said, I will be getting one for sure - can't wait to get rid of my crappy Motorola and have full-time access to the internet in my pocket!

Thanks for watching,

Jeff

[Ian (in the Tubes)]

Hi folks....

@Richard & @Jeff.

First a disclaimer, I had a blast on twit.tv yesterday listening to all the sneaky audio feeds when the new iPhone was announced. So cannot complain too much about any coverage as I was right in the middle sucking it up.

That said, I look at iPhone 1.0 (obviously not got the new one in my paws yet) and then look at my Nokia N95 8GB and I whilst I love the iPhone interface on every other level it is just not upto much. Plus, I cannot get Qik.com working on an iPhone, so important for my pointless streaming that I do.

CommandN doesn't need to follow the herd and jump on every story, I love CommandN for the very fact it is not at all just a tech roundup show... more power to the off-beat and quirky.

One of only three that I stop everything to listen to when they arrive (Diggnation / Twit, being the other two).

Ian.

[Mark Myers]

Thank God Amber did not grow up in a country founded by Puritans--those holier-than-thou people who fled England because England adopted a freedom of religion society. Those same people have poisoned American culture since 1620.
Amber is a grown woman and can wear (or not wear) what she wants.
All I have to say is "Yay Amber!" Wear, do, or say whatever you want.
Until they start paying your salary, they do not have a vote in the matter.

[Ranceman]

I've been watching CommandN almost since the beginning and can't remember reading such asinine comments, particularly as personal as they are towards Amber. That's extremely rude. Maybe you can talk that way to your blowup dolls, but in the real world, you should show some respect. You should apologize to Amber you dumb fuckers. For those of us who have seen a real woman in person, Amber's casual ensemble looks fabulous, she can't help it if she sexy. You GO Girl.
Jeff, I saw a review on Gizmodo about casemate being the same as invisibleshield, a thin wrap made for the iphone. The impression I got was casemate ripped off invisbleshield. From what I've seen and read, this looks like the thing to get to protect the iphone. What's your take on it? Which one would you get?

[Anony Mouse]

Has anyone noticed that if you go to http://www.commandn.tv it seems to go to a parked GoDaddy page? I had to get here via commandn.typepad.com. Hope nothing's broken permanently!

[Rob]

Ranceman is right, I should apologize for my comments, I got an error page when I hit submit and it did a double post :(. So sorry for that, but wow, do I feel better for getting that off my chest!

[Amber Mac]

WOW, not pregnant...new top...didn't realize it would be so hot out...or I would be so cold. Apologies if I offended anyone.

-Amber

[Rob]

Hahahah, quite the opposite of offensive Amber!

If nothing else, you really got the comments movin' on your site! As always, love your work, keep it up!
