- @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 #
- RT @Westernwizard Something tells me the OT will go much like the rest of the game, someone fumbles to cost it #
- @KateSherrod For about 3 hours, probably. in reply to KateSherrod #
- @jchutchins War with Fluffy? in reply to jchutchins #
- Ray Edwards should have a commercial license plate. #
- That was nearly and interfumble. #
- @crimsonsky76 I almost didn’t watch, given that there’s only 11 minutes of action in an NFL game. But this promised to be a good one. in reply to crimsonsky76 #

- I think Shockey may be a shaved Sasquatch. #
- Huh, there seems to be a party going on in the French Quarter. #becausetheyhaveoxygen #
- @BstiNatosi No we won’t. Next week is the Pro Bowl, a meaningless exhibition game. But the week after that… in reply to BstiNatosi #
- RT @CRA1G It’s gonna be darn near impossible for Jobs et al. to live up to all the expectations that have been created around the tablet. #
- @CRA1G Still can’t think of anything I’d need a 10″ tablet for that I don’t already do with my iPhone or netbook. in reply to CRA1G #
- @maureenjohnson Are you sure that’s seaworthy? in reply to maureenjohnson #
- Wondering how long tomorrow will seem to be the perfect day to start my new book. #amwriting #almost #
- I’m sure the Apple iPad will be nifty, but notebooks/netbooks will always be a better form factor for writers. #
- @crimsonsky76 The iPhone did what other smartphones did, but better. I fail to see how a tablet will be better than a notebook for writers. in reply to crimsonsky76 #
- Given the hype overload, the Apple iPad is almost guaranteed to be the Segway of personal computing. #
- @maureenjohnson You use the same burning pants gag in Suite and 13LBE. Anything you want to tell us? in reply to maureenjohnson #
- @maureenjohnson BTW, I bought 13LBE because I enjoyed the free Suite Scarlett so much. #newfan in reply to maureenjohnson #
- @crimsonsky76 I’m really liking SmartTime Pro. Works better for the way I think than PI. in reply to crimsonsky76 #
- RT @crimsonsky76 Summary of Apple’s earnings report today: They made a ton of money. #
- @RobT43 There was a ton of hype around the Seqway too. At first. in reply to RobT43 #
- @jennybeanses I will never grok why people think “if you can’t say something nice, don’t say anything” adage doesn’t apply online. in reply to jennybeanses #
- @jennybeanses Good article btw. Only vampires would wear bell bottoms. in reply to jennybeanses #
- @crimsonsky76 SmartTime Pro is probably the best $10 I’ve spent in the App Store. And I bought PI for $12. in reply to crimsonsky76 #
- @crimsonsky76 The underdocumented catch is you have to create the Google calendars to sync your categories to manually. in reply to crimsonsky76 #
- @KateSherrod Wow, that does look cool. in reply to KateSherrod #
- Ambidextrous children ‘at more risk of having learning difficulties’ http://bit.ly/7GDVMs //Great, they didn’t know this in the 1970s… #
- @yonsy Yeah, that’s at least two “disorders” (multihandedness and ADHD) I have that no one knew about when I was a kid. in reply to yonsy #
- @Melzer Yeah, there’s a pretty good reason Lovecraft didn’t write much dialogue. in reply to Melzer #
- @Eclipsante o_0 in reply to Eclipsante #
- @crimsonsky76 BURMA!!! #ipanicked in reply to crimsonsky76 #
- @DarrenHumphries Fuming, no. Dispatching turtlenecked assassin squads, yes. in reply to DarrenHumphries #
- @PhilippaJane It’s not us, blame Noah Webster. in reply to PhilippaJane #
- Mmm. Narn breen, just like Mom used to make. #
- @Melzer You’re just realizing this now? in reply to Melzer #
- Wait, the SotU is tomorrow too? #maybewatchingappletooclosely #
- @MariKurisato Sure, why not. I mean yes. in reply to MariKurisato #
- Two hours until the pregame! #applehypeoverdrive #
- @HumanRacehorses But… Apple! Unicorns and rainbows! in reply to HumanRacehorses #
- @crimsonsky76 I’ve been suggesting that for weeks now. His Steveness is a master of theater! in reply to crimsonsky76 #
- All I want to see today is resolution independence for the iPhone OS the tablet runs, setting up the 720×480 iPhone HD this summer. #
- iPad is EPIC FAIL. Pixel doubling is not resolution independence. #
- I have an iPad nano in my hands RIGHT NOW. #
- Once developers recode to 960×640, that’s just another code fork like the GPU code for the 3GS #ipad #
- RT @sunilsebastian: The iPad is just a iPhone Maxi. Making it an iMaxiPad. #
- iBooks? Yay, more ebook market fragmentation! *flailing muppet arms* #notreally #
- Steve thinks Apple invented ebooks. Welcome to 1996 Steve. #
- Even though the OS is pretty much te same, wanna bet the iPad version of iWork doesn’t work on the iPhone? #
- I know I’m the poster boy for writing on mobile devices, but anyone really itching to make Keynote presentations on the iPad? #
- @Westernwizard I’ll stick with my iPad nano, BT keyboard and oh, look, a netbook! in reply to Westernwizard #
- RT @CRA1G: $500 for a bare-bones “use it 1⁄4 of the time” device? Wow…that’s some cajones. #
- 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 #
- Wake me when they jailbreak the iPad for multitasking. #
- 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) #
- @mikecane No Pages > iBooks workflow. FAIL. #
- The only reason I’m even considering the iPad is that I already type that with w/iPhone and Stowaway BT keyboard #
- Does the 3G version really weigh a pound more than WiFi only? Why? #ipad #
- @somas1 Give it time to wind down. in reply to somas1 #
- I can cut off the screen of my HP 2133 netbook and pretend it’s an iPad. #
- @PalmPreLawyer Oh, hells yeah. My iPhone wouldn’t be half as useful as it is without jailbreaking. in reply to PalmPreLawyer #
- @sunilsebastian Stanza? in reply to sunilsebastian #
- @CRA1G Ditto, plus it wobbles when you try to touch type on the screen on a flat surface. Back is *curved*. #ipad in reply to CRA1G #
- @crimsonsky76 You can ten finger type on the screen, but since the back is curved, it wobbles if you type on a flat surface. #ipad in reply to crimsonsky76 #
- @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 20th 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 2nd 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… #
