  • No plans at the moment @chasejoseph. I'm staying put until CES. in reply to chasejoseph #
  • Nigeria actually arrests, shuts down online scammers (Jacqui Cheng/Ars Technica) http://bit.ly/1axHnO #
  • I broke down and pre-ordered the Nokia N900. It was T-Mobile's contract-free Even More Plus plan that sealed the deal. http://bit.ly/4aH9vv #
  • RT @holgr: "To those who adjusted their clocks last night, @twitlive begins an hour earlier. "- good point! the US is still on summer time. #
  • Really @kypeli? Does the N900 feel too big? Sluggish? my only concerns. Still looking for that iPhone killer! Real Firefox+Flash is exciting #
  • There was no urgency @JGallo02. The N900 won't be available in the US until next month. #
  • Lately @levisan I've been using Tweetdeck, but Tweetie, Seesmic, Hootsuite, and Brizzly all have their good points. Tweetie 2 on the iPhone. #
  • OK @JGallo02! Question 1, how's the N900's battery life? #
  • True @redragon, but for now you need Flash to watch TWiT Live. So there's that. #
  • Oh you can be sure I'll buy a Verizon Droid when it comes out, too, @randyshapiro. Is it the rise of the Open mobile OSs? #
  • I always try to give the UTC time as well as local, @relequestual. What time is it now UTC? I think we're UTC+8 in Cali now right? #
  • .@redragon Canvas FTW! #
  • .@LinhN I usually have two or three mobiles at any give time. I have (paid) accounts with all four major providers for review purposes. #
  • Thanks @spsheridan – timescroller is exactly what I need! Got both the widget and the app! http://bit.ly/12S7Kp #
  • Ah @bournecycle but that's where Google Voice is da bomb. It rings all my phones at once! #
  • Verizon for 3G T-Mobile for customer service. Coverage depends on location but Verizon is often the winner – with some notable exceptions. #
  • For example, Las Vegas is a Sprint town. (Sprint also has excellent 3G but I suspect that's because no one is using it.) #
  • Alas @johnpauldickie our new VT-5 tricaster has problems with video recording and playback. We're working on another solution for re-runs. #
  • Apologies – there was a screw up on the factory floor and Security Now went out on the TWiT feed this AM. We've fixed this now. #
  • If you refresh your TWiT feed you should get the proper show now. So sorry. #
  • Hey @Bazzwood – the only ads I do are clearly marked as such on the podcast or radio show. Anything else I recommend for the love of it. #
  • Our model, @aaronights, is to have a small number of advertisers I can get behind 100%. If I endorse something it's because I use it. #
  • Works better for the advertisers and lets me sleep at night. Well usually anyway. #
  • Yeah @curtl – I've been using Friendfeed for the show announcements (http://bit.ly/A8Q85) and the link is sometimes slow. I'll reconsider. #
  • A 300-person human tweet to protest an Internet tax in Mexico: http://twitpic.com/mw9cl (via Javier Matuk @jmatuk) #
  • Up early today @JScott528 gotta see a man about a car. SHO enuf. #
  • One word @CharlieGeorge: passion. If you care deeply about your subject your listeners will care about you. in reply to CharlieGeorge #
  • Good idea @briandigital. I'll create a feedback@twit.tv address. Thanks! in reply to briandigital #
  • Car Shopping http://post.ly/AMJV #
  • Definitely @jaymer – we'll be in Vegas for five days, Jan 6-10, broadcasting live. We'll do a meetup Friday evening maybe? Where is good? #
  • Hmm @blackneuron. Probably Office. The only reason to use Google Docs is for sharing and universal access. I do use it for everything, tho. #
  • RT @LouGriffith: "@leolaporte did you know you are in the Google Social Search demo? http://bit.ly/LaOS9" – cool! Thanks @MattCutts! #
  • My Tech Guy radio show is on XM Channel 158, @matagin, Saturday and Sunday 2-5p Eastern. (And around 70 terrestrial radio stations.) #
  • We had Quim Gil from Maemo on FLOSS Weekly in January, @JGallo02. http://twit.tv/floss54 #
  • @kiwinerd thanks! Forwarded the article along to her and Jennifer. in reply to kiwinerd #
  • @lightningboy7 yeppers – KFI broadcasts all six hours of the tech guy show each weekend and it's on I Heart Radio. in reply to lightningboy7 #
  • @Seanfunk No Sirius, alas, just XM. in reply to Seanfunk #
  • @natasha How about the TWiT Cottage? We need an artist-in-residence. in reply to natasha #
  • Wait @MacTipsDaily. Really? _Watching_ TWiT on TiVo? Like video? How? #
  • Skip the Storm II, @davidmote, and watch for the Droid and its little brother the Droid Eris/Desire. I hear they're the real deal. #
  • I just unlocked the "Gym Rat" badge on @foursquare! http://bit.ly/qFgvB #
  • To The TWiTmobile http://post.ly/AgmT #
  • To The TWiTMobile http://post.ly/AiUl #
  • With any luck Umphrey's McGee @umphreysmcgee will join us in studio today at 4p Pacific/2300 UTC. http://live.twit.tv #

  • @jeffjarvis Apple STATS (Spontaneous Trackpad Activated Text Shrinkage) happens to me, too. Cmd-0 fixes the size but why is this happening? in reply to jeffjarvis #
  • RT @tedxdubai: "http://bit.ly/NMP24 TEDx Dubai Angel Sponsors. These people turned TEDx Dubai into a dream come true." Can't wait! #
  • @JamesProud Oh if only it were that easy. No such setting in Snow Leopard. in reply to JamesProud #
  • @rtayyem We're not going to attempt TWiT from Dubai. I'll do the radio show there, though. TEDx is in "Media City" after all! in reply to rtayyem #
  • Thank you Amazon. http://post.ly/7QDR #
  • @kiwinerd Slap in the face how? The Roku deal is non-exclusive. You'll be able to get video in iTunes. Got a Canadian Roku? in reply to kiwinerd #
  • @mobiledivide I went for the stereo Beatles – and it sounds bee-you-ti-ful. The mono versions cost more for two fewer LPs. Sheesh EMI. in reply to mobiledivide #
  • @TagWire Ah but _film_ is high-def. Even in 1939. The Wizard Of Oz BluRay re-master was scanned from the original negs at 8K! in reply to TagWire #
  • @feastoffun Excuse me but I never said art is dead. Film IS dying. Blogs are flourishing. Podcasts? Never wuzzer. Just too hard to get 'em in reply to feastoffun #
  • @Allyn_D Gracenote seems to be properly tagging the Beatles 2009 stereo masters with the original year on iTunes. Ripping them in lossless. in reply to Allyn_D #
  • Thanks to @AccessInspirati for bringing @EverywhereTrip by. I'm jealous of all the places he's been! #
  • @headedforseven I wore the Jerry Garcia tie because I was trying to connect with the kids. Instead I ended up looking like Patch Adams. in reply to headedforseven #
  • @mollywood I'm not worried Molly! So thrilled that Wood and @schwood are back on TWiT. Take over for me forever. Please! in reply to mollywood #
  • RT @wa4hrk: "@leolaporte Will this change the way you post…? http://bit.ly/11iI3x" r u kidding? Fantastic news! I'm clean. Are you? #
  • @bryandobson Absolutely – all video will be on iTunes as a standard feed (high and medium quality). in reply to bryandobson #
  • Having trouble ripping the Stereo Beatles Re-Masters on a Mac. I think the mini-documentaries are causing an issue. Stupid EMI. #
  • So far Sgt. Pepper and With The Beatles can't be ripped – ejected every time. Just me? #
  • @noahhayes Just trying to rip the audio in iTunes. I'm concerned that the Enhanced CDs are not always readable. I'll try them on another box in reply to noahhayes #
  • On out way! #tedx #Dubaihttp://yfrog.com/0f60atj #
  • @alexmuller how quickly things change. Now I'm like 500th but I'll take my 140k community over Ashton's millions any day. in reply to alexmuller #
  • @millie1962 I was finally able to rip all The Beatles' CDs. They're on my iPhone for the plane trip. Umphrey's McGee, too. And 10 books! in reply to millie1962 #
  • Aboard Emirates to Dubai http://post.ly/7XTb #
  • Wheels down in Dubai. Met a fan on board. Deadheading Pilot Bruno. Lovely trip. Emirates is fantastic. #
  • Dubai http://post.ly/7cEP #
  • Interesting. But I'm pretty sure it's impossible without getting on Twitter's SUL. If @DrewfromTV really wants 1M he should contact @ev. #
  • Paul and Storm, Wil Wheaton, and Adam Savage in one room? It's nerdvana. See you at w00tstock 10/20 in SF. http://www.w00tstock.net/ #
  • Midnight in Dubai. Awakened by explosions. Stray predator drones from nearby Iraq? No. Fireworks over Palm Islands. Dubai is a party town. #
  • Brightkite hasn't worked for days. Tempted to add the Westin Dubai to the San Francisco area on Foursquare. At least I'd be the mayor. #
  • On stage at TEDx Dubai the day before with James and Natasha. #TEDx http://yfrog.com/14l6bgj #
  • Camel races. http://yfrog.com/5dnbij #
  • Up and at 'em. My TEDx Dubai speech is in three hours. No streaming but they will record. Gotta think of something new to say. #tedx #
  • Looks like we'll be doing re-runs of the Tech Guy this weekend. It's way too expensive to make an international ISDN call. Sorry! #
  • Backstage with @masarat of 8 Day Academy and Bruno Giussani, European Dir. of TED & Paul Bennett who don't tweet. http://yfrog.com/18j4cj #
  • I'm up next. Here's a picture from backstage. #tedx http://yfrog.com/58ix1j #
  • All done. Now I get to hear all the great presentations without stressing about mine. Phew! Paul Bennett. Excellent. #TEDxDubai #
  • @wildpeeta was fantastic. Now I'm craving shawarma. #tedxdubai #
  • I went to TEDx Dubai and all I got was this (fabulous batik) shirt from James Original http://jamesoriginal.com #tedxdubai #
  • Joi Ito says the key to success is reducing the cost of failure. #tedxdubai #
  • One week left for Podcast Awards nominations. http://www.podcastawards.com/ – I'd take it kindly if you'd vote for your favorite TWiT show. #
