our lawyers need to contact your lawyers about the use of our image there. who are your lawyers? ;)

[fallentimes → a4agarwal]

You already know how I treat lawyers.

lol getting better every day is a tough mantra to live up to.

getting better every other week -- now that's realistic. =)

[unalone → rantfoil]

Every time you post an update, change all the fonts to Comic Sans. Every day, change one of the fonts back.

That's realism for you: one step forward, 14 steps back. =P

(Note: please do not do that; I would cry)

Garry, you guys are incredible. You launch a new feature, what, every other week?

[mrampton]

How does Posterious authenticate you? Anyone could forge the email sender.

[a4agarwal → ntoshev]

we have a whole system in place for analyzing the email headers and determining that you are who you say you are. Arrington challenged people to spoof his site and it worked well. He still uses our site today: http://techcrunch.posterous.com/

That's cool. What if I take an e-mail from Mike Arrington's iPhone and just change the contents (well, I would also change stuff like headers with date/time)? I can't try it with Arrington because I have never received email from him, but I would have received email from my Facebook buddies I wanted to prank. wink wink
