@NotZura Sadly, no, not kidding. #pcisasinglecoreamd64circa2005 in reply to NotZura #
Must see the new “next level” iMacs this year. #iLust #jobsownsmywallet #
I know I’m in the minority here, but I like the iPad name. Both the similarity to iPod and allusions to the Star Trek PADD. #

Twitter Weekly Updates for 2010-02-01

“Valentines’s Day” has an awesome cast, but considering I boycott the actual holiday as the MOST ANNOYING DAY OF THE YEAR for singles… #
@JNGold I’m still waiting for George Carlin’s suggestion of active land mines under the field. #NFLiswar in reply to JNGold #
@Alli_Flowers Funny, I was just saying the same thing about my shorts. #overshare in reply to Alli_Flowers #
Okay, coating the ball in Crisco does make the game more exciting. #saints #
Saints coach just slapped the ref with a glove and challenged his honor. #nflshouldhaveduels #
@JNGold That’s what she said? in reply to JNGold #
And Favre does NOT look happy. #saints #

I’m officially out of fumble jokes. #ifonlythatwerenotaproblem #
@MariKurisato What would an agreeably hateful hermit be like? in reply to MariKurisato #
Who expected the game to come down to the Saints DEFENSE? #
Darn that Favre! #
Seriously? The Saints are going to let Favre pull this AGAIN? #
And there’s not a blessed thing Brees & Bush can do about this. #
I’m conflicted about the refs now. #ihavenoprinciples #
OMG, we’re going to OT in a conference championship! #
FTR, part of me is pulling for the geezer (2 whole years older than me), but the Saints are such a feel-good story… #
@Alli_Flowers Do you need a crash cart? in reply to Alli_Flowers #
The Mayans had Certain Death overtime. #
@BstiNatosi Game’s almost over, then we’ll resume the usual lunacy. in reply to BstiNatosi #

iPad is EPIC FAIL. Pixel doubling is not resolution independence. #

Will the iPhone get iBooks too? #
@Westernwizard Keep in mind, it’s $700 if you actually want to put a reasonable amount of video on the iPad. in reply to Westernwizard #
@rcartwright DON’T GO INTO THE LIGHT RICK! in reply to rcartwright #
RT @PhilippaJane: Now that the iPad’s released, can we smoke a cigarette in the afterglow, then quietly agree never to talk of this again? #
RT @CRA1G The #iPad doesn’t: multitask, output HDMI, phone calls, take pictures or video, text messages, or hold as much as an iPod. #
The iPad is a FAIL if you already own a smartphone and a netbook, especially for writers who need a hardware keyboard. #
RT @CRA1G Anyone seriously thinking the #iPad is a game changer needs to put down the Apple kool-aid now & go into rehab. #
@nyneshaydee Pretty much. Today’s announcement is pretty much the least I expected. in reply to nyneshaydee #
I’m waiting for someone to say that the iPad makes bigscreen TVs obsolete #brainwashedmasses #

Not saying I won’t buy an iPad when I have to replace my netbook, but I need a few more features (ProSwitcher, Stanza at native rez) #

@sunilsebastian Just tested it. Tap and hold on a word, then tap the “Annotate” button. in reply to sunilsebastian #
RT @DarrenHumphries Here’s what we learn from the Apple iPad: Even Steve Jobs makes mistakes. #
@crimsonsky76 I’d bet good money that the iPad version of iWork (and iBooks) will not work on the iPhone. in reply to crimsonsky76 #
Was going to post my thoughts on the iPad, but it’s just too gorram depressing. #
@rohdesign My problems with the iPad aren’t so much what it got wrong as what it *just missed* getting right. in reply to rohdesign #
@rohdesign And to be fair, I said the same things about the original iPhone, but bought a 3G. in reply to rohdesign #
@mwsmedia 8 eastern in reply to mwsmedia #
@Westernwizard I was hoping for something truly revolutionary rather than an oversized iPod touch. in reply to Westernwizard #
@rprokic BTstack Keyboard, it’s a jailbreak app on Cydia. in reply to rprokic #
@rprokic It’s just a driver that runs in the background. You type into any app you want. in reply to rprokic #
@rprokic Yup, the best portable BT keyboard ever made. Works great. The special keys don’t work yet, but the driver is still in active dev. in reply to rprokic #
@rprokic The only problem I have with it is that somehow it makes the iPhone’s autocorrection lower case words I deliberately capitalize. in reply to rprokic #
@mwsmedia I’m increasingly forgetting what things were like in the analog 20^th century. Ug, dark ages. in reply to mwsmedia #
What hash tag are we using for the State of the Union? #sotu ? #
@Eclipsante So unlike the iPad, Mass Effect 2 actually lives up to the hype? in reply to Eclipsante #
@nataliewhipple Chipmunk genes? in reply to nataliewhipple #
Great, more hope. Now do something. #sotu #
Apparently, Obama thinks Americans are Terminators. #sotu #
Joey B. saw the punchline coming. #sotu #
@mwsmedia I keep waiting for him to get medieval on Congress. in reply to mwsmedia #
Now the Rs refuse to stand up for tax cuts? #sotu #
I blew all my extra money on marshmallows. #shame #sotu #
Great, but I can haz job too, plz? #sotu #
Y’all let me know if I ramble too much. #
Slums are hiring! *flailing muppet arms* #sotu #
So, he calls for a bill, Congress picks at it for months, and eventually passes a watered down, ineffectual waste of time? #seenthismovie #
Boehner was an oompaloompa when he was younger. #sotu #
NEW JOBS IN JET PACKS #sotu #
Based on the applause levels, it looks like Republicans hate jobs. #dividendsnotwages #sotu #
Uh, Barry, we’d be lucky to get up to 2^nd place at this point. #sotu #
Save Americans. Shoot a lobbyist. #sotu #
THAT got the Republicans on their feet? Mentioning nukes? #sotu #
Finally! Appealing to green tech as a way to make money. That will get attention. #sotu #
Wait, America is supposed to *make* stuff again? Can we do that? #sotu #
RT @jkarpf @BarackObama is livetweeting his own State of the Union. He really is The One. #SOTU #
But if we educate people they’ll be able to tell how the right is screwing them. #sotu #
@jeanettemarsh Your cats clearly believe you’re unable to hunt for yourself. in reply to jeanettemarsh #
We need a laugh track for this speech. #sotu #
Good lord man, stop talking! #sotu #
@Eclipsante Do I need to play the original Mass Effect to understand what’s going on? #notahardcoregamer in reply to Eclipsante #
Wow, Obama just threw SCOTUS under the bus. To their faces. #sotu #
@KateSherrod Nope, strictly terrestrial. in reply to KateSherrod #
@jeanettemarsh Drop a cow in front of them. They’ll get the idea. in reply to jeanettemarsh #
He never said “the state of our union is strong” like Dubya said every time. Nice to get some honesty. #sotu #
“The proper, limited role of government” gave us Enron and Blackwater, you schmuck. #sotu #
@BstiNatosi And the 1 thing he DID do wasn’t all that great. Poe did emo before and WAY BETTER than Salinger. in reply to BstiNatosi #
It’s spooky how much of my daily workload I can do with just the iPhone. Oddly, this makes me less interested in the iPad. #
@CRA1G Odd that someone who sees why the iPad is a serious computer also finds it redundant. in reply to CRA1G #
@CRA1G Touché in reply to CRA1G #
@CRA1G I’m no Ayn Rand fan, but that was her one good point in The Fountainhead: new technology imitating the old is never optimal. in reply to CRA1G #
@CRA1G The iBooks app already annoyingly apes paper. You can have excellent typography with pretending to be analog. in reply to CRA1G #
@crimsonsky76 Gah! You haz a snow! in reply to crimsonsky76 #
@jkendrick Honestly, the iPad is all the computer my mom needs. I’m amazed at how much I can get done with just my iPhone. in reply to jkendrick #
@crimsonsky76 And now Don will not see the light of day for weeks… #xboxisthedebil in reply to crimsonsky76 #
@crimsonsky76 The trick, I hear, is to shoot the bad guys. in reply to crimsonsky76 #
@aslapintheface NO CAPES! #ednamodeiswise in reply to aslapintheface #
RT @indieauthor: Why aren’t authors irked @ Macmillan instead of Amazon? Higher #ebook price doesn’t = better royalty, just fewer purchases. #
Remember two days ago, when the titans of tech and publishing weren’t all fighting with each other? Good times… #
