Twitter Updates for 2010-01-31
- bane (b'ein): n. (1) Something that frequently makes one feel unhappy or annoyed. (2) Internet Explorer 6. #
- Warning: @twitter is not showing all @ mentions via web or API. It is only showing @ replies that start with '@'. RT this to get their ATTN. #
- A Miss UNA 2009 Contestant. A: Um, I've been trying to car pool more. Because I believe we need to keep the ozone more- um, less- oppressed. #
- Classic moments from Miss UNA 2009. Hostess: "We'd like to thank Ricitoris. - Oh now what. - Well y'all knew which one I was talking about." #
- Reformed and Reforming - Songs for Worship and Praise, iTunes iMix: http://bit.ly/iMixReformed - More on Facebook: http://bit.ly/25Reformed #
- 10-6 #
- Yet another trip to the #Huntsville Apple store & another bad experience. They closed at 8p, & were rudely ignoring us, but website says 9p! #
- On 2nd look, I may have misread the website hours, but that still doesn't excuse the ignoring & rude gestures of the Apple guy. #Huntsville #
- You might be in #Huntsville if... The Barnes and Noble has this book on its shelves: http://img.ly/pCQ #
- @_SarahWilder Perhaps more significantly, besides socialism- agnostic pluralism. But sadly, I think that's why people like the song. in reply to _SarahWilder #
- @adam_goodman That would be an RSO that students can join, right? in reply to adam_goodman #
- @adam_goodman I'm glad to hear that. The pool still needs more open hours, available to all student though, IMHO. #
- About to start meta-covering the #Apple event. Biggest tech innovation news since the iPhone. I'm following IRCs, blogs, streams, & twitter. #
- .@tsutrav I have Twitlive on my TV, gizmodo, gdgt, engadget, and ,macrumors on one computer. Twitter and IRC on the other. in reply to tsutrav #
- 15 minutes until the Apple event starts. Invitees are being seated. Bootleg live streams are popping up. 3000 viewers on one alone. #
- @tsutrav None really. I'm just watching Apple, Tablet, iPhone, and Steve in reply to tsutrav #
- 5 minutes before the event, rumors and photos continue to come in: http://i.gizmodo.com/5458217/is-this-the-outside-of-the-apple-tablet #
- Ustream bootleg video is struggling. If anyone wants 5000 viewers on Ustream, a use keyword #Apple, turn speakers up loud, & film your desk. #
- Al Gore is there (as usual). Bob Dylan music is playing - probably because #Apple's sponsoring his upcoming tour. Bootleg has 7000 viewers+. #
- Steve Jobs has taken the stage. TwitLive.tv has audio and can probably handle it. Another Ustream bootleg video. Live blog posting photos. #
- Steve is going over the usual growth numbers. iPods, retail stores, revenue, etc. Summary: Apple is a successful company. #
- Early impression: Steve is going for his legacy now. Now showing photos of him and Woz in the garage, talking history. #
- "And now let's talk about the main event... I want to go back to 1991." Setting up the idea of a device in the middle of a phone & computer. #
- iTablet is the name. #
- Just kidding, it's called - sigh, the iPad. #
- So far, iPad looks like a big iPod touch with a very large bevel. One physical button on the front: the Home button. #
- On screen keyboard takes up approximately half the screen when iPad is turned sideways. First impression: iPhone owners won't want this. #
- And silence. All bootleg streams went down at the same time, and now they're back up. Apple staff, or MiFi overload? #
- So far, the only improvements shown r related 2 a larger screen. Gut sense of the reaction thus far is unimpressed. He will need a 2nd act. #
- IRC channels stating that Apple AAPL is down 2.2%. Buy on the rumor, sell on the news. IRC also reporting, no iPad jailbreak yet. :) #
- Zachary Quinto and Star Trek fans will be glad to know that JJ Abrams Spock got a cameo in the demo. #
- European IRC network, IRCnet, is dead silent. Demo is continuing. gdgt likes the UI. This appears to be a very "non-techy" device. #
- Quinto and Star Trek fans will continue to be excited. Gizmodo reporting seeing a "flash not installed" icon. This is a big, thin iPod touch #
- Big news: Just went through talking about wireless and no mention of cellular connection. Also, no mention of new content partnerships. #
- I told you, this is a bad name! / via Chase Thompson: Apple still does not control iPad.com #
- #Apple may not have iPad.com but it's ok- they never got iTV.com or AppleTV.com either, and we know that's been a great product. Oh wait... #
- At this point, the device isn't revolutionary, so I'm slowing down my tweeting. Continuing at this point would be buying into propaganda. #
- Re "iPad": I predict almost as many jokes as made about the Wii. This time, toward the female demographic. Equal opportunity immaturity. :) #
- Thus far: #iPad. 9.7" screen. Runs iPhone apps. No cellular. No Adobe Flash. 10hr battery. No camera or mic. No word on price, or iPhone 4. #
- @danielrhorton I could agree more. How on earth did the media (and us geeks) hype this up to "revolutionary game changer?" in reply to danielrhorton #
- Steve announcing Apple iPad app: iBooks, & announcing the "iBook Store," starting today. Don't know if app will be available for iPhone yet. #
- Phil now demoing iWork for the #iPad. A multi-touch office suite is innovative. But question: Will #Apple let them run in the background? #
- @jeremyflint If the price is over $700, they'll go below 200. in reply to jeremyflint #
- Steve is finally talking about cellular. He said it has 3G. 250MB (laugh), $15. Unlimited data- $30 prepay. Worst news yet: AT&T #ATT #fail #
- Not surprisingly, NOT ONE PERSON in ANY chat I'm watching, is happy about the iPad now, on the news of AT&T. #
- Pricing is very non-Apple like. You'll need a grid. 6 prices, starting at $500. 3G costs additional $130. At least AT&T wasn't forced on us. #
- If anyone actually buys the iPad with AT&T 3G, imagine the continued data congestion. It's delayed - I'm guessing at the request of AT&T. #
- The Keyboard Dock http://bit.ly/bv45aN reminds me of an old school Palm PDA. Just saying. #
- Event is over. Apple.com has been updated. iPad is a flop out of the gate, IMHO. #
- Updating my last tweet: Apple.com is up, Apple Developer Connection is down. iPad is a flop for geeks, but probably a hit for the non-techy. #
- @lifeofless See my updated tweet: http://twitter.com/tollie/status/8291228947 - a flop for geeks. A hit for non-techy. in reply to lifeofless #
- .@cmpalmer For that, it's overpriced. No Flash. No camera/mic (for Skype). I won't be surprised if it stutters on 1080p H.264 video, either. #
- Ok, I'm forcing myself to hold off all further #iPad updates for now. Time to move on. I think the Jobs distortion field missed me on this 1 #
- @cmpalmer Oh, and yeah, no backgrounded apps, or minimizing windows. in reply to cmpalmer #
- It sounds like there was more people watching TWiTLive, than typically watch Headline News or MSNBC. #
- @jgonis Well played. in reply to jgonis #
- Verizon vs. AT&T stock prices today (Verizon in red): http://img.ly/pQP #
- @a_askew Senuti for music. Syphone for data/sms. in reply to a_askew #
- @_ErinT Since you liked them so much, I'll just prefix the rest of them with @_ErinT. :) in reply to _ErinT #
- @heyamyj Going for the JJ Abrams Star Wars effect? :) in reply to heyamyj #
- @JSimpson1789 Well, it's supposed to snow and freezing rain tomorrow, so enjoy it for now. in reply to JSimpson1789 #
- @BarbaraNixon Attribution & "RT etiquette" are important issues. There's still no de facto standard, nor easy/complete solution. #COMM2322 #
- @BarbaraNixon Thanks. :) in reply to BarbaraNixon #
- iPad tablet vs. stone tablet: http://i.imgur.com/5vREa.png / via @hoopylinz #
- I put it down, but I hope iPad does wells. It's by far the most exciting platform to develop for. The approval process must be fixed though. #
- Plenty of work to do, but also somewhat bored. So - ask me anything anonymously: http://ow.ly/11CUG and I'll tweet again when I've replied. #
- @bamaweather Moving? in reply to bamaweather #
- @bamaweather Well, I wouldn't recommend changing your name to MissWeather. :) I hope things go well for you there, though. in reply to bamaweather #
- @jgonis The physical keyboard is a minus, in my opinion, but I completely agree with the sentiment. in reply to jgonis #
- @appletasty @walter25 Like "3G is coming soon," for the past 2 and half years? AT&T statements mean nothing until we see it happen. in reply to appletasty #
- LOL. Next, Greenpeace will probably try & recruit him: BinLaden announces he's "going green" & boycotting the USDollar. http://bit.ly/adsJea #
- Let's say that I have the entire Saturday free, but no where to go. Suggestions? #

Twitter Updates for 2010-01-24
- Not in the Shoals tonight, but watching the Grace Life Church service online: http://bit.ly/8GNjCE. It might benefit you to watch also. #
- @catandmoose It's on right now. in reply to catandmoose #
- @bobbyshirley If I were you, I'd study the scriptures some more before believing that. in reply to bobbyshirley #
- I love crowd sourcing! I asked my chat friends what this random power adapter went 2 when I couldn't remember. They helped me figure it out! #
- @JSimpson1789 That's no good. Time to skip school! in reply to JSimpson1789 #
- @JSimpson1789 Well, there's nothing wrong with the being on Twitter at 5am part... in reply to JSimpson1789 #
- @_ErinT Crowd surfing, as often as I have tried it, yields headaches. Crowd sourcing- took away my headache by solving the frustrating task. #
- Visiting in the #Shoals, where Lenny's is great and AT&T Edge data is useless. #
- Way to go Amazon for driving prices down & keeping authors paid. RT @arstechnica: Amazon hikes Kindle royalties to 70% - http://arst.ch/cxs #
- @_SarahWilder That's kind of cruel. I'll admit: I buy from the great Chinese product distribution center of America. in reply to _SarahWilder #
- Ok, apparently I need to reprogram my weather alert's SAME codes. I'm getting tired of hearing all the Tennessee weather warnings. #
- And of course, as I say that, the TN warning would be a Tornado Warning, so for my Twitter friends in TN: http://bit.ly/7UbcXL #
- Hmm. wunderground has a new 3D radar in beta. Here's a 3D view of conditions over Decatur, looking North: http://bit.ly/7UbcXL #
- @amberweinberg I know. I wouldn't mind Spring weather, if Spring would just come along with it. in reply to amberweinberg #
- Multiple power flashes caught live on WHNT-HD's tower cam, and now a funnel forming live on cam over #Huntsville. #
- @danielrhorton The best I understand it, they're still "beta testing" the more precise siren activation systems. MorganCO is one of the few. in reply to danielrhorton #
- Updates: WAAY-31 also had a SD ground view of the funnel live. WHNT-19 is now airing taped HD from on the ground. Funnel is dissipating now. #
- WAAY-31 reporters stated seeing ground debris (flying trampoline). @bamaweather @danwhnt #
- @LoriMillerWHNT The unmoderated chat room is really rough. I would get rid of it, or better, replace it with an embedded IRC chat with mods. #
- For those unfortunate enough to have their timeline overwhelmed by my tornado retweets: I'm done and don't expect to do it again. Apologies. #
- To the #HSV news stations putting local pics/vid on the air/net *without credit* for the sake of rushing it (ratings), shame on you. #
- To the #Huntsville news stations putting local pics/vid on the air/net *without credit* for the sake of rushing it (ratings), shame on you. #
- @_SarahWilder Considering your previous update "Helllloooooooooo weekend!" - that's really funny. in reply to _SarahWilder #
- Impressive picture from Amanda Irons (found via WHNT): http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=3930800&id=508197189 #
- Do mainstream newsmedia not realize how arrogant & hypocritical they are when they say "Stay out, AND let *us* go in instead?" #complexIssue #
- Is anyone having an issue with twitter (via web or API) only showing a few @ replies, rather than all @ mentions? #
- Free Bird? #

Twitter Updates for 2010-01-17
- @walter25 As soon as my Nexus arrives, I'll be canceling my #ATT b/c of overloaded Edge & no 3G. CSrep wanted 2 cancel hers 2. #shoals in reply to walter25 #
- @walter25 In fact, the Tmo savings r such that getting a Verizon MiFi ($50/mo) for my iPhone to always have data- isn't out of the question. in reply to walter25 #
- @walter25 Since #TMobile is cheaper ($80=500min+unlimited data/txt) than #ATT, even after ETF fees, this will pay for itself. In fact... in reply to walter25 #
- @comcastcares FWIW, I did. I took my UPS, borrowed some1's long enuf 2 get signal, then moved the UPS in2 the car -> home. Very frustrating. in reply to comcastcares #
- I agree! For both Lenny's in the #Shoals. RT @lonniethegirl: Lenny's on Mall/Cox Creek should get an award for PHENOMENAL customer service. #
- Ron Weasley wasn't in the 3rd chapter of the 4th Harry Potter book... #
- @QueenTitania http://tr.im/Km8u Around the 10:00 minute mark. (Avatar dialogue.) It was on my TV when I got home... in reply to QueenTitania #
- Prediction: Conan, Leno, & Heroes all fail to return to NBC after Olympics. NBC fails in 2010- Comcast sending some shows to cable networks. #
- #TSA thinks an 8yr old, Cub Scout could be a terrorist. But! changing ur name gets you off the list: RT @midnightx10: FAIL http://tr.im/Ks2C #
- What wld u do if I tweeted my thots? Wld u unfriend or unfollow me? Click subscribe & I'll tell u my thots- I'll try not 2 hit the wrong key #

Twitter Updates for 2010-01-10
- @jesslaw I used it years ago but it never won me over. A good alternative is ustream + twalkin. in reply to jesslaw #
- @brotom I know you didn't coordinate the first songs, but tell me that you picked the closing song, _after_ hearing the message. Right? in reply to brotom #
- It says something (bad) about NBC that I had to go online to find out what time #Heroes comes on tonight. 8? 7? 9?! .. It's 8p /7p CST, btw. #
- I hate flying, and hate the #TSA even more, but that doesn't stop me from wanting: http://twitpic.com/wp9au Feel free to send me there. #
- @JSimpson1789 Technically - maybe? But we're still in the same Volume (5 - "Redemption") as last fall. in reply to JSimpson1789 #
- RT @brotom: The family should be a microcosm of the church & when the family is church-minded, the church becomes a macrocosm of the family. #
- RT @_SarahWilder: The Pope put out a Christmas album. And just like that, Lady Gaga has the second weirdest wardrobe in music. #
- Google Nexus: "U.S. users can use AT&T, although the phone’s radio isn’t able to use AT&T’s 3G network." - Same is true for most iPhones. #
- @_SarahWilder If it was 13 degrees out and I was trash collecting, I'd do the same thing. Actually, I probably would regardless of the temp. in reply to _SarahWilder #
- Why does T-Mobile not use a Google Maps mashup for their coverage indicator, considering all the Nexus traffic they're getting? #
- @grahamhancock This made TechMeme not too long ago: http://boagworld.com/reviews/vimeo - "Why You Will Regret Using Vimeo" in reply to grahamhancock #
- @JSimpson1789 Happy Birthday #
- @JSimpson1789 Sure am! Calling basketball on Monday, otherwise, it's my usual schedule. in reply to JSimpson1789 #
- Been using Twitter for 3 years, and I believe that's my first dm that I sent to public by mistake. #
- Now taking score predictions via comments on facebook and @ replies on Twitter. #
- Oh no, they celebrated a big touchdown in college football! Let's penalize them!! #
- "That's for faking the punt." LOL. Best commentary all night. #
- Ok, geek time: They said on ABC, "OWN a piece of history- download tonight's game." Not true! Thanks to DRM and copyright, you "LICENSE" it. #
- I've been saying 4 over a year- next is location aware tech. I think '10 will "turn the curve" exponentially. http://img.ly/lDd #
- @comcast Can I access the Motorola (dch6416) DVR's recorded content without Comcast signal? Thanks. #
- @comcastcares Can I access the Motorola (dch6416) DVR's recorded content without Comcast signal? Thanks. #
- @comcastcares thanks. Unfortunately, later will be of no help to me. I've moved 2 a Charter area. Is there any way possible 2 save the data? in reply to comcastcares #
- @comcastcares I'm now following you, incase you prefer to dm. Thanks. in reply to comcastcares #
- @comcastcares This is so frustrating! I moved out 2 weeks ago, but held off on canceling for 2 weeks, just so I could try & figure this out. in reply to comcastcares #
- @comcastcares Are they going to let me camp out in the return center while I save my hours of shows in real time? Or can I copy directly? in reply to comcastcares #
- @marshallk Like Twitter, FB belongs to us. *We* made the content. But *they* take away settings 4 growth (money) sake. We want choices back. in reply to marshallk #
- @marshallk In other words, keep after this story. And don't forget Twitter's ignoring the users and broken promises to #fixReplies, either. in reply to marshallk #

- @jeffjarvis It's probably tacky, & maybe that's why no one has resurfaced the quote since the new TSA rules, but irony: http://tr.im/IQON in reply to jeffjarvis #
- Ponder: The Amish make an electric space heater w/ a TV inside it? #2AMpaidProgrammingIsAJoke (Apologies to any Amish people reading this.) #
- After having proved their ineptitude @ doing anything useful, the #TSA sends its agents 2 harass citizens not flying too: http://tr.im/J3tU. #
- @_SarahWilder iPhone Picture? Location? in reply to _SarahWilder #
- @Jennivieve actually, six is a perfect number, as it is equal to the sum of it's factors. in reply to Jennivieve #
- "Calling attention to one's self?" After a fumble recovery and touchdown? Let's penalize coaches throwing fits with their headsets, instead. #
- I'm not the most learned of football rules, but the officiating during the 4th quarter of the Cotton Bowl is an embarrassment to officials. #
- Dear slightly emo kid sitting in the middle of the isle at Books-A-Million,
Find a chair!
Sincerely,
- CantGet AroundYou # - I have a feeling tomorrow (today) you might be reading about hypothermia and bridges. #
