- @audioheretic Old school Alan Moore FTMFW! in reply to audioheretic #
- @crimsonsky76 The iPad seems to do everything it can to kill the concepts of files and folders altogether, so why share them? in reply to crimsonsky76 #
- @crimsonsky76 That said, I’ll be using Quickoffice Connect, which edits Google Docs directly, and does support folder structures… in reply to crimsonsky76 #
- @kdaleauthor Snow, hell, it was sleet/hail over here. Sunny and warm now, though. Good day to ponder returning to writing. in reply to kdaleauthor #

- @KateSherrod AMUCK AMUCK AMUCK! in reply to KateSherrod #
- RT @niassa: A dog gave birth to puppies near the road and was cited for littering. #
- @KateSherrod For me it’s more of a cross-eyed salamander brain, which is why I tend towards cowboy boots. in reply to KateSherrod #
- @DangerMagpie /stabs in reply to DangerMagpie #
- @KateSherrod So far today I’ve had an omelet AND a burrito. #paydayWIN in reply to KateSherrod #
- @DangerMagpie Need more RAM? Break out the soldering iron! #makerethos in reply to DangerMagpie #
- For half the price of an iPad, I think I’m gonna upgrade my single-core AMD CPU and motherboard to a Core2Duo. #priorities #
- @KateSherrod Yup. Country AND Western. in reply to KateSherrod #
- @KateSherrod *runs bucket of water up to Cheyenne…* in reply to KateSherrod #
- @KateSherrod Actually, I listen to almost everything. My iTunes library could be described as “patternless.” in reply to KateSherrod #
- @DangerMagpie Just sticking to Doctorow’s anti-iPad “screws not glue” rant. #whomakestheirownicsanyway in reply to DangerMagpie #
- @KateSherrod My iTunes library is also, indeed, pantsless. in reply to KateSherrod #
- @aarondelay We are Kirvin of Borg… in reply to aarondelay #

- @RobT43 w00t? in reply to RobT43 #
- @KateSherrod I can believe thatzzzzzzzzzz in reply to KateSherrod #
- @RobT43 Yes, I noticed that. It’s much more compelling in person. That said, I still prefer the pocketability of my iPad Nano. in reply to RobT43 #
- RT @CTD: the distance between wow and woe is not very large #
- @ichadman Do you have the apple case for it? Not sure how typable it is flat in reply to ichadman #
- @ichadman If I get an iPad at all, I’m getting the case that looks like a Moleskine in reply to ichadman #
- /starts looking for Moleskine-like iPhone case… #
- @KateSherrod *does omelet Hammer dance* in reply to KateSherrod #
- @crimsonsky76 I’ll get OS4 the day the iPhone HD is released in June, so it’s kind of a wash. in reply to crimsonsky76 #
- @KateSherrod but will it keep these damn kids off my lawn? in reply to KateSherrod #
- iPhone OS 4 multitasking: save state for fast switching, API for limited functionality… Sounds like Palm OS 6 Cobalt. #
- All in all, looking forward to iPhone OS 4, but probably won’t mess with it until I get an iPhone HD since my 3G won’t multitask. #
- Also, apparently Apple invented the concept of keeping related apps in folders on a mobile device. squee. #
- /raises a skeptical Spock eyebrow to Cupertino… #
- Option A: Hang put here at Chipotle and read. Option B: Go home and move heavy things. Lemme think… #
- Anyone else reorganizing your iPhone app screens today into 9-icon related groups? … Me neither. /slurks #
- If I’m reading the API announcement right, SmartTime Pro will be able to use the stock calendar data instead of syncing independently in OS4 #
- @crimsonsky76 I qualify for a new phone in October, so I’ll pay the additional prorated $50 or so to get the iPhone HD in June. in reply to crimsonsky76 #
- @crimsonsky76 Aaron G. pointed it out to me. He’s right. If only Palm had been able to deliver five years ago… in reply to crimsonsky76 #
- @maureenjohnson *looks around* *fears* in reply to maureenjohnson #
- @audioheretic Ah geez, now you’ve done it… in reply to audioheretic #
- It is, in fact, a beautiful day on the neighborhood… http://yfrog.com/71nuulj #
- @crimsonsky76 Apple is the new Palm. in reply to crimsonsky76 #
- RT @sunilsebastian: Anybody leaves me alone with their iphone, I’m reorging their apps into folders by colour. “Did you check in Teal?” #
- @hadoualex Thank you. It’s nice to come back into the light. in reply to hadoualex #
- @nyneshaydee The kids. in reply to nyneshaydee #
- *settles in with bare baked potato for dinner* *drops first bite for my homie Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn* #
- @KateSherrod Or as her friends call her, pons. in reply to KateSherrod #
- @KateSherrod *looks around* Tough room. Anatomy jokes are always iffy. in reply to KateSherrod #
- @KateSherrod I bow to your superior obscurity! in reply to KateSherrod #
- So wait. iPhone 4.0 will have iAds and something about “mail enhancements”? #mobilespam #
- @DangerMagpie a dirty wombat in reply to DangerMagpie #
- @KateSherrod You always give me such wonderful, terrifying reading material… in reply to KateSherrod #
- Klingons to the left of me,
Romulans to the right,
Here I am, stuck in the middle with Q # - @DangerMagpie No, you’re going to need the support group after. in reply to DangerMagpie #
- @crimsonsky76 I used to use Safari a lot in the iPhone for webapps, but now I’ve done nearly a complete 180 and use native apps. in reply to crimsonsky76 #
- Check this TUAW article out: iPhone OS 4.0: Multitasking suppor…: http://bit.ly/b97CXe #
- @KateSherrod As I understand it, iAds only become “interactive” when you tap on them. Ignore the banner and you don’t see the video. in reply to KateSherrod #
- @KateSherrod That said, AdSrbse allows site owners to disallow certain kinds of ads. Will devs be allowed to do the same in their apps? in reply to KateSherrod #
- @KateSherrod Another question. Would you stop using an app you like if it includes ads you find offensive? in reply to KateSherrod #
- @KateSherrod For example, if my Twitter client of choice consistently ran Sarah Palin ads, I’d probably switch to a different Twitter app. in reply to KateSherrod #
- @BstiNatosi Break or ballroom? in reply to BstiNatosi #
- @KateSherrod Surely you’re not suggesting that Apple is going to deprive us of choice… *straight face* in reply to KateSherrod #
- @KateSherrod I heard Steve’s new liver was installed by unicorns. in reply to KateSherrod #
- @KateSherrod In all — okay, some — seriousness, it’s in Apple’s best interest to foster app store diversity. They follow the money. in reply to KateSherrod #
- @audioheretic Balderdash! Entire article based on premise that eink inherently better for reading than LCD & the actual SCIENCE differs in reply to audioheretic #
- @audioheretic I can read for HOURS on my iPhone with zero eye strain. You know why? I’m smart enough to lower the brightness! in reply to audioheretic #
- @BstiNatosi Interesting choice. I commend your insects. in reply to BstiNatosi #
- @ichadman moar chocolate always better in reply to ichadman #
- THE SECRET TO READING COMFORTABLY ON YOUR IPHONE/IPAD: Turn the brightness down to just above “too dim”. #tryit #
- @DarrenHumphries That also extends battery life on AMOLED devices. #fancy in reply to DarrenHumphries #
- @audioheretic I *loved* my Zire 71! in reply to audioheretic #
- Speaking as a published author, I agree with NYT Ethicist Randy Cohen: if you already purchased a paper edition, the ebook should be free. #
- @Nofrendo True, and DVD to downloaded video, etc. Eventually, I’m confident business will catch on (or be pushed aside) in reply to Nofrendo #
- @Nofrendo What? I already have mine… #kirvinofborg in reply to Nofrendo #
- @RobT43 I was *shocked* at how easy it was to touchtype on the iPad. Damn near full “real keyboard” speed. in reply to RobT43 #
- @PalmPreLawyer But would it, really? The Supremes have already upheld place-shifting. in reply to PalmPreLawyer #
- @PalmPreLawyer How is dl’ing ebook of hardcover you own functionally different from ripping purchased CD to MP3? in reply to PalmPreLawyer #
- @PalmPreLawyer Not as hard as it used to be. You can make a decent book scanner out of a point and shoot digital camera these days. in reply to PalmPreLawyer #
- @PhilippaJane *dons gore poncho* in reply to PhilippaJane #
- Hmm, been reading on iPhone for hours… *checks for eyestrain* Huh, amazing the difference good typography makes… http://yfrog.com/0fyguj #
