Twitter Weekly Updates for 2010-​04-​05

  • Man­aged to increase the eye candy in Star Trek Online and the fram­er­ate AT THE SAME TIME. #tech­god #
  • RT @mab­justmab Obama is not a brown-​skinned anti-​war social­ist who gives away free health­care. You’re think­ing of Jesus.” — John Fugel­sang #
  • @crimsonsky76 The iPad is basi­cally just a cof­fee table com­puter. It’d be dif­fer­ent if it had fold-​out legs to BE a cof­fee table. #sein­feld in reply to crimsonsky76 #
  • @Dan­ger­Mag­pie @crimsonsky76 iPod Touch + Line2 + iPad + Sprint Over­drive = 4G any­where com­put­ing? in reply to Dan­ger­Mag­pie #
  • iVerse bring­ing comic books to iPad http://bit.ly/9ukKNx #
  • @sunilse­bas­t­ian I’ve had days like that… in reply to sunilse­bas­t­ian #
  • @Dan­ger­Mag­pie Not really. Aside from the iPad, it would all fit in a pair of jeans with room for your keys and wal­let. in reply to Dan­ger­Mag­pie #
  • @KateSh­er­rod Looks cute! in reply to KateSh­er­rod #
  • Light-​headed after extended work with a Dremel. Wish I could do home ren­o­va­tions in CSS. #more­o­fa­soft­wareguy #
  • @RobT43 iPad is intrigu­ing, but I’m wait­ing to see how iBooks pans out vs. Stanza/​Kindle. Plan­ning to get the iPhone HD this fall. in reply to RobT43 #
  • @crimsonsky76 Don’t fall for it, Don! in reply to crimsonsky76 #
  • I’ve no doubt that the iPad is all the com­puter I need away from my gam­ing desk­top, but is it $500 bet­ter than doing the same on my iPhone? #
  • RT @FakeAPStylebook: There is no apos­tro­phe in “Din­ers Club” but who cares? What is this, 1953? #
  • @KateSh­er­rod Let me know next time you drop down to Den­ver! We can com­pare imag­i­nary iPads. in reply to KateSh­er­rod #
  • @robotech_​master @tib­bar­erew and I have DDO installed, but haven’t played in a while. in reply to robotech_​master #
  • RT @ichadman: RT @seth­clif­ford An iPad is like a big iPod touch…just like a swim­ming pool is like a big bath­tub. #
  • RT @CRA1G: “Night of the Liv­ing Dead” is a clas­sic Easter movie. #
  • @jkendrick I switched to Stanza for all my ebook read­ing long ago. Ereader.com’s read­ing soft­ware is largely irrel­e­vant. in reply to jkendrick #
  • @annemariewrites o_​0 in reply to annemariewrites #
  • Have now fon­dled an iPad. Agree with @ichad­man that the larger screen is a qual­i­ta­tive dif­fer­ence rather than quan­ti­ta­tive. #
  • Lack of Stanza or any other ways to read eReader.com books is still an iPad deal­breaker for me. #until­I­con­vertmylibrary­toepub #
  • @ssr­jazz Have you seen Stanza on the iPad? Pixel dou­bled text is way fuzzy. in reply to ssr­jazz #
  • @crimsonsky76 As I just men­tioned, pixel dou­bled text, even using a smaller font, is uncom­fort­ably fuzzy. You’ll want iPad native ebooks. in reply to crimsonsky76 #
  • @dgawlik324 Ran­dall Munroe is a genius. in reply to dgawlik324 #
  • The iPad will be my next portable com­puter, buy not any­time soon. Going back to the iPhone screen feels weird. #
  • I’m able to touch type per­fectly well on the land­scape iPad key­board. Dammit. #
  • @mau­reen­john­son RUN FOR THE HILLS, JARS! in reply to mau­reen­john­son #
  • @JBaby_​9783 No, I saw that too. I need to lib­er­ate my eReader books for use with iBooks. in reply to JBaby_​9783 #
  • @aaron­de­lay I’m pretty sure that’s grout can­cer. in reply to aaron­de­lay #
  • @ever­note on the iPad looks *amaz­ing*, so much bet­ter than the iPhone ver­sion. #must…stay…strong… #
  • Thanks to @rb00da for the iPad fon­dle this morn­ing. Now I just need $500… #
  • @ssr­jazz I have very few Kin­dle books, and Lex­cy­cle says they have no plans to cre­ate an iPad ver­sion of Stanza. #ihaz­a­sad in reply to ssr­jazz #
  • @crimsonsky76 You know what is read­able out­doors? An iPad. in reply to crimsonsky76 #
  • @crimsonsky76 I wouldn’t expect the iPad to charge via a nor­mal 500mA USB port. in reply to crimsonsky76 #
  • @eclip­sante W00t, and please don’t shoot me. in reply to eclip­sante #
  • @crimsonsky76 I’d be shocked to learn that iPads don’t charge off of *pow­ered* USB hubs, but wouldn’t expect them to work off unpow­ered ones in reply to crimsonsky76 #
  • @sobees is the best social net­work client I’ve found yet for Win­dows. Highly recommeded. #
  • @rener­itchie I was pleas­antly sur­prised with the iPad as well. It’s a far more com­pelling expe­ri­ence in per­son. in reply to rener­itchie #
  • @CRA1G I could touchtype (all 10 fin­gers) at full speed on the iPad land­scape key­board. Vir­tual kb gives spe­cial­ized keys for urls, etc. in reply to CRA1G #
  • @jkendrick I’m sav­ing up for my iPad now. /​sighs in reply to jkendrick #
  • @rener­itchie @TCPJ_​Mickey Doesn’t Quick­of­fice Con­nect work on the iPad as an iPhone app? It directly edits Google Docs… in reply to rener­itchie #
  • @crimsonsky76 No, there is no way to print directly from the iPad. Andy I. con­firmed that on Macbreak Weekly. in reply to crimsonsky76 #
  • Edit­ing HTML and insert­ing header tags as part of the jour­ney from eReader > HTML > epub. Takes me back… #
  • If you have a lot of ebooks, Cal­i­bre is a must have. #for­re­als #
  • First eReader book suc­cess­fully lib­er­ated and con­verted to fully for­mat­ted and struc­tured epub! #prepar­ing­foribooksoni­pad #
  • @TCPJ_​Mickey It down­loads the file to the phone, edits, and auto­mat­i­cally uploads the changes. in reply to TCPJ_​Mickey #
  • @TCPJ_​Mickey Yeah, the mobile suite. in reply to TCPJ_​Mickey #
  • RT @Marnus3 I watched the siege of Helm’s Deep by the Uruk-​hai for an hour last night before I real­ized it was not a teabag rally #
  • ★ The Kids Are All Right http://bit.ly/aFPzgS #
  • @crimsonsky76 See, if only you had some kind of Inter­net tablet to keep you occu­pied while she shops… in reply to crimsonsky76 #
  • @sunilse­bas­t­ian I write them inverse back­wards. in reply to sunilse­bas­t­ian #
  • @sunilse­bas­t­ian well, if you take all the words in the book laid out lin­early in reverse, but reverse it. in reply to sunilse­bas­t­ian #
