English term or phrase: blather

Neste contexto:
Open Storage blather... maybe not
There has been much talk about open source software in the past several months. It seems that it is generating more interest than open source software in general. The debates have aligned around 2 basic camps of nonsense and practicality. One observation is starting to become clear. It speaks relevance to certain folks. Usually if something is mere hype people will ignore it. I've watched something that was previously irrelevant become a lightening rod as of late.
In fact if you have the expertise to lead in design trends you may be able to do better. Take the so called blather around SSDs. Some argue replacing a spinning drive with a FLASH drive using the traditional disk I/O interface is not worth it. Maybe they are right.

Garden Blether
A good chat (a good blether), often a long and lazy relaxed chat at that, and sometimes over a dram or two of whisky!

Na verdade, blather e blether estào corretos e significam a mesma coisa.
