- The three sweetest words in the English language: heirloom Caprese stack. That is all. #
- Love the new look @ev @biz – but why didn't you invite @twit to cover the debut? We would have been all over it! Smack your PR agency. #
- Well that's an interesting question, @rgersmrk. Should companies only invite uncritical journalists to press conferences? in reply to rgersmrk #

- . @chrisnixon Merlin Mann tells me the sign-up fee for Pinboard pro goes up over time. It's $6.53 now. It was $6.48 when I signed up. in reply to chrisnixon #

- I'll try it @trelian – but I think charging money is a good thing. I don't want another Ma.gnolia in reply to trelian #
- Exactly @hypetech – it makes perfect sense. Every new Pinboard user costs money for servers. I like a site with a workable model. in reply to hypetech #
- Really @diiwin? I think relying on a service without a long-term business model is risky. Lesson of the dot-com bomb cf http://bit.ly/9R79Kc #

Happy Birthday 6502!
via Laughing Squid by Sean Kelly on 9/16/10
The 6502 microprocessor is 35 years old as of September 16th. Introduced in 1975 at WesCon in San Francisco, the chip cost $25. Many early, hugely-popular home computers and gaming consoles sported it, including: Apple 1 & ][; Commodore PET & Vic 20; Atari 2600, 400 & 800.
The 6502 came into being when a Motorola team led by Chuck Peddle and Bill Mensch started designing a low-cost competitor Motorola’s own 6800. It was a rogue project as far as the executives were concerned. So, out came a memo: Shut.It.Down. In retaliation, Peddle and Mensch’s entire team left the company to join MOS Technologies where they designed and manufactured the semi-conducting super-star.
Peek and Poke anyone?

Great news: Apple will be streaming its event today live at apple.com – finally. Unfortunately the stream will only work with Apple products: iOS 3.0 or better devices or Safari. I suspect that’s because Apple wants to show off its new http streaming capability – perhaps related to an announcement they’ll make today.
We’ll do our own breaking coverage and analysis of the event starting at 12:30p Eastern/9:30 Pacific/1630 UTC at http://live.twit.tv with Andy Ihnatko, Alex Lindsay, Tom Merritt and me. Live coverage will be followed by MacBreak Weekly immediately after Steve leaves the stage.
Swag
