You gotta love it when your cable installer sighs and says “we’re gonna be here a while.” However does Comcast stay — https://t.co/kmhlcYvT #
The Comcast "Executive PR Team" called about my tweet. She explained that their DVRs don't usually have HDMI. "Mostly they're component." #
Actually the installer was great – it's Comcast corporate that is clueless. #
I wonder how people without Twitter get customer service. #
@mena_le It wasn't the installer it was the "Comcast Executive Team!" in reply to mena_le #
That's what's odd @GlennRubenstein – I've had HDMI DVRs from Comcast for years. in reply to GlennRubenstein #
Then she said – but you're only paying $39 for your service. (Whaddya want for nothin'? Rubber Biscuit?) #
@mena_le I just moved across town – kept my Comcast DVR, but they had no record of it. in reply to mena_le #

@longwelsh Thank you! in reply to longwelsh #
Nice. @comcast require Java in your browser to move or change service. #1 ISP in the US requires me to install an insecure plug-in. Hmm. #

Great tip – just got 22 books free! RT @JG_Ocala: Get 22 Free Audible/Kindle books
http://t.co/GIF6gtfA #
Looks like we brought the blog down – direct link to Amazon: http://t.co/arcUHfD4 – make sure you pick up the Audible book after you buy! #
@Ringo67 It's Lullabot – the best Drupal devs in the biz! in reply to Ringo67 #
Get inside TWiT with Google Maps street view: http://t.co/XEjnVD9r – who's that manning the front desk? #
Thanks to
Tertius Carstens – http://t.co/fMuKnS3D – for the great images of the TWiT Brick House for Google Street View. #
@catpolar Google require face blurring, alas. Didn't blur the dog Ozzy though! in reply to catpolar #
Yeah @jonfeldman – Tertius did a particularly good job with the bricks. I think MOST are visible. http://t.co/XEjnVD9r in reply to jonfeldman #
Apparently blurring the faces is a Google requirement @norskben @Ihnatko is blurred but not @therealozzy! in reply to norskben #
@CalgaryGuru Keep looking. in reply to CalgaryGuru #
@troldann The Epson is down the hall to the right a few feet. in reply to troldann #
@spectrumthepony No quite the opposite. Discovery will turn Rev3 into something "mainstream." They're already doing Shark Week. in reply to spectrumthepony #
@GBearBytes http://t.co/VW5x5dIv – use the offer code TECH in reply to GBearBytes #
Verizon LTE really is smoking' fast – Droid Razr M getting 23Mbps down, 18Mbps up. I'll compare it with the iPhone 5 Friday. #
@JSW_EdTech That's exactly why I'm trying LTE now. I needed a baseline reading pre-iPhone 5! in reply to JSW_EdTech #
@AmazingToaster Hunh? in reply to AmazingToaster #
I might do an iPhone 5 unboxing @deanhuber – it depends when it gets here. I'll tweet it if I do. in reply to deanhuber #
iphone5 is here! I'll open it in the first few minutes of The Social Hour at 1 PM Pacific/4 PM Eastern/1800 UTC. http://t.co/wnDSRpg8 #

I'm using a fabulous Baratza Vario @davedavenm – it really does make a difference. Pricey but recommended @Baratzagal in reply to davedavenm #
@rbergeron @sarahlane I usually order directly from http://t.co/aAbWt5xN as soon as the store opens. Works great with day and date delivery. in reply to rbergeron #
No joke @mitchg @CoffeeGeek – the Breville Dual Boiler is perfect in every respect. I'm very happy with it. in reply to mitchg #
Let's see, good by to 9to5 Mac or Instapaper? Sorry Marco. http://t.co/5iTfIyE1 #
@allenmcohen Thank my amazing engineering team @radiocolin, John Slanina, Alex Gumpel, Russell Tammany, and Burke McQuinn in reply to allenmcohen #
OK @SmittyofDHS but isn't it a little creepy that Marco did that in the first place. I think I'll go back to RSS. in reply to SmittyofDHS #
@olsworth @marcoarment All the time. All the time. I blame the coffee! in reply to olsworth #
@Nateilage I use pinboard.in for that – and it will save the pages, too. in reply to Nateilage #
What was your favorite episode of TWiT this year? We want to submit one to the IAWTV awards. #
@jsnell Want to be on this Sunday? We need you! in reply to jsnell #

@KietChieng Sorry! I'm going to see the 49ers home opener. Dvorak will host Sunday with a great panel! in reply to KietChieng #
@TonyaHallRadio Can't help you there – he won't come on our shows either. in reply to TonyaHallRadio #
My three Chads: #360panorama http://t.co/ZA4W5bzC – thanks to @chrisfenwick for the shot! #
You can’t watch TWiT live on AppleTV @LauraKBrowning but you could Airplay it from an iOS or Mtn Lioned Mac. http://t.co/dCJO3KcU in reply to LauraKBrowning #
@mat wrote a fascinating article about @CosmoTheGod http://t.co/rtUl8Sbn #
Apologies @glennmarston @TWIT – we'll get the MBW audio feed on iTunes pronto. Thanks SO much for the heads-up. in reply to glennmarston #
Thank you for your lack of interest in Ping. Good-bye. http://t.co/puJWhxBW #
@HilzFuld Yeah sorry about the hangout – it was just one thing too many. in reply to HilzFuld #
I'm using a Galaxy SIII day-to-day @mishkagreen but I'll probably switch to the iPhone 5, at least for a while. in reply to mishkagreen #
@missmakeupgrrl Love the Galaxy Note – I'd wait for the Note 2. It's big though – too big for smaller hands. in reply to missmakeupgrrl #
@bigrichNZ @mishkagreen I'm a fan of elegant technology, and Apple has made more than its share. in reply to bigrichNZ #
Perfect! RT @HerrWinkler: "The 5 stages of iPhone grief". Have you seen this yet. Sums it up perfectly. http://t.co/zMkGDKWk #
You bet @kerplunk715 – watch my interview with Nokia's Hans Peter Brondmo on yesterday's Triangulation. Still rooting for Nokia. in reply to kerplunk715 #
@koftheworld @mishkagreen It's not a question of affording. It's my job. in reply to koftheworld #
@Egotosum Yes. To review it. in reply to Egotosum #
@ltomuta I'm a huge symbian fan going back all the way to the Psion. in reply to ltomuta #
@ltomuta No. You can't buy it in the US. in reply to ltomuta #
@Aaronjk Won't know which to buy until I've used the iPhone 5 for a little while (and the Galaxy SIII, Galaxy Note 2, and Lumia 920!) in reply to Aaronjk #
And loving it! @CoffeeGeek in reply to CoffeeGeek #

@sarahlane @kevlynes Cute too. Love the pigtails! in reply to sarahlane #
@michaelrock iGoogle doesn't use Java. Make sure you unchecked "Java" not "Javascript" – and you're not using any widgets that req Java. in reply to michaelrock #
@JessieJames1209 No but you _can_ see the Mustang in the driveway of 8 Keller St. (We moved after the Streetview car came by.) in reply to JessieJames1209 #
@bryancpowell Beware!!!!! in reply to bryancpowell #
I decided not to run the Samsung Mob!lers story @repetenz – this is why I never accept free rides from companies. Not Samsung's fault. in reply to repetenz #
Don't listen to Twitter snitches @markgurman @ColbyAley – I merely said it seemed unlikely that apple would announce iPods next week. in reply to markgurman #
I just unlocked the Back to School badge on @foursquare for checking in back on campus! Time to party! Er, study. http://t.co/5miQWnhZ #
@EricChiaramonte Just right for drinking! in reply to EricChiaramonte #
@MatthewReinalda I'm a big fan of the Galaxy S3 – but let's see how Apple responds on Wednesday. in reply to MatthewReinalda #
@SmittyofDHS @sarahlane Yay! Thanks. Buying one this instant! in reply to SmittyofDHS #
Yes @HenryMcNinja TWiT will cover the Apple announcement live on 9/12 – with a puppet Tim Cook reenactment for those who didn't get invites. in reply to HenryMcNinja #
Nothin' but schadenfreude @ianenos03 – it took eight years but we finally toppled the evil empire G4. in reply to ianenos03 #
@castawaysounds @iyaz Me too!! in reply to castawaysounds #
@scottcoates @sarahlane I emailed the editors – might have been stuck on the conveyor belt. Happens sometimes. Thanks for the heads up. in reply to scottcoates #
@larrypm3 Good point. We used to. I'll check with the team. @twit @radiocolin in reply to larrypm3 #
@scottcoates @sarahlane We've taken a look and it's not on our end. Maybe Downcast is ignoring the TTL refresh interval (30 minutes for HD)? in reply to scottcoates #
If a rental company makes a written commitment to you (via email) then rents the place to someone else, is there any recourse? #
Yay @nbaily thanks for the @streamys nomination! I'd like to win one of these this year! #twit in reply to nbaily #
@Really_Evil_Rob AFAIK you can only have it tied to one authenticator at a time. So I run it on my daily driver: the Galaxy SIII in reply to Really_Evil_Rob #

@LordKaT @datalore_tv I suspect your brain turned to mush long before I came along. in reply to LordKaT #
I agree @jmlowenstein – I apologize. Adam was booked earlier in the week. And I had no idea he doubted the moon landing. That's just nuts. in reply to jmlowenstein #
I was blindsided by Adam @uscwaller – I apologize. in reply to uscwaller #
I agree @Micahd – we booked @adamcurry much earlier. And I had no idea he disbelieved. I was shocked and didn't rebut as I should have. in reply to Micahd #
Frankly @KamasamaK I was so surprised that anyone could believe such nonsense that I didn't respond intelligently. For that I am sorry. in reply to KamasamaK #
No one believes me @MyraJoyceBx @uscwaller but I've never listened to No Agenda. Conspiracy nuts irritate me, too. in reply to MyraJoyceBx #
I think he might @Rocker182 @jmlowenstein – there's a famous video of Buzz Aldrin punching out a doubter. http://t.co/X27eXgQk in reply to Rocker182 #
You know @lVloose I had no idea. Adam is a really smart guy – with some strange beliefs. I never saw that coming. in reply to lVloose #
It was bad timing @ITTechSmart – we were honoring a great man and Adam called him (and all of NASA) a liar. Not my proudest moment. in reply to ITTechSmart #
Absolutely @CitizenChad @adamcurry had plenty of sensible things to say later. That's why we have him on. It was just bad timing. in reply to CitizenChad #
But @THErealDVORAK refuses to be on the same show with @adamcurry, @DaveMendez. Now I know why! in reply to DaveMendez #
That's pretty much what happened @MarkDEvans – I didn't want to get bogged down by an obviously absurd idea. But Neil deserved better. in reply to MarkDEvans #
@alamomike It's ok if you only listen to the first half! in reply to alamomike #
@NewsTalk2 Absolutely up for an interview. Email leo@leoville.com and we'll schedule it. in reply to NewsTalk2 #

@dcdentremont @twit Yikes! Checking into it. Thanks! in reply to dcdentremont #
How helpful. Bank of America is now putting ads in my online statements. http://t.co/XEUx7pDs #
@axian Example please. Thanks! in reply to axian #
@axian Good point – I'll correct it next week. in reply to axian #
@psuchad Yeah at this point @StampsCom makes the most sense for people doing a lot of mailing. in reply to psuchad #
@RandallPotter I see it now – but opting customers into "deals" (ads) is bad business. Looking for another bank. #
Funny that BofA calls in statement ads a "loyalty" program @ZachManring – it's moving me to disloyalty. in reply to ZachManring #
But @AnaheimDemocrat I pay BofA in two ways already: fees and the use of my money. Do they really need ads, too? in reply to AnaheimDemocrat #
@JessieJames1209 I agree completely. It didn't belong on TWiT. At least he had interesting things to say. in reply to JessieJames1209 #
Now that BofA is losing me as a customer with their "loyalty program" is there a better bank in this digital age? #
@JayVig I don't mind trailers at the movies, but I loathe ads. Notice far fewer of them these days. Perhaps they backfired? in reply to JayVig #
@patapete I use pinboard.in – it's not free but it's delicious compatible and works great. in reply to patapete #
@kingkool68 I am eligible for @usaa and use them for insurance so maybe I will. Thanks! in reply to kingkool68 #
@jonjohns65 We use a local bank, Exchange, for our business and are very happy. Local is good. in reply to jonjohns65 #
@hodgy http://t.co/iAj1DYDl! Welcome to Zombocom. You can do anything at Zombocom! in reply to hodgy #
@isiahamon Shred them – there are CD shredders at any office supply store. in reply to isiahamon #
Simple looks interesting but it's invite only. I use USAA for my insurance, so USAA it is. Thanks! #
@SubStandardTest You're right – I keep forgetting. From now on! in reply to SubStandardTest #
@toddheberlein My father-in-law is retired Navy – we've been USAA customers for more than 20 years. in reply to toddheberlein #

@jhillestad @robertheron Hmm. How about a $489 grinder? Of course I'm living in a 700 sq ft studio apartment. It's all about priorities. in reply to jhillestad #
@Packard_Sonic Good man! You will be missed. in reply to Packard_Sonic #
@torsampo You do understand the difference between an operating system and a TV network, right? in reply to torsampo #
@brian_reiter Huge difference. I pay for banking services. I don't pay for Google. You want them to be free AND make no money? in reply to brian_reiter #
@garrettj I post there every day, But that's not going to make a difference if people don't want to pay $50/yr for a Twitter clone. in reply to garrettj #
This is depressing. According to JustUnfollow many of my friends don't follow me on Twitter! http://t.co/b6LWmihw via @prismatic #

Apologies @Packard_Sonic – we're going back to the original edit of the podcasts with just the radio content and no in between stuff. in reply to Packard_Sonic #

@jpcates36 @BESTBUY Any of the Asus tablets are superb. in reply to jpcates36 #
@Ma1colmY @Packard_Sonic The broadcast has 18 minutes an hour of ads – the podcast one or two. in reply to Ma1colmY #
@bl12joe @travisharder Of course it is! I would say more than half of our audience is conservative or libertarian. No problem with that! in reply to bl12joe #

@bl12joe Wait tip the iPhone comes out – then chose between the Note 2, Galaxy SIII and new iPhone. I'll probably go Note 2. in reply to bl12joe #

@CoffeeGeek If you say it I believe it. (In truth ordered it an hour ago.) Is the Kitchenaid Proline burr grinder ok? That's what I've got. in reply to CoffeeGeek #
@CoffeeGeek You'll have to come up and show me how. Maybe we should make a show out of it! in reply to CoffeeGeek #
The Breville, really @CoffeeGeek? It's not Italian, but then I'm no expert. I did a stint at Cafe Trieste but that was years ago. in reply to CoffeeGeek #
@CoffeeGeek The BES900XL right? Ordered. I guess I'll get a better grinder. Sigh. in reply to CoffeeGeek #
@willsmith @CoffeeGeek That's a $450 COFFEE GRINDER! Really? Can I get the Precisio? Pretty please? in reply to willsmith #
@ryan @Veronica Bought the Breville double-boiler. The Rancillo seemed too fussy. Come over for coffee! (Might get one for the studio, too.) in reply to ryan #
@SmartyCassie I don't use a case or anything on the S3. It doesn't really seem to need one. in reply to SmartyCassie #
OK done @CoffeeGeek @willsmith Breville double boiler and Baratza Preciso arriving Friday. Thanks for your help. in reply to CoffeeGeek #

I'm very excited @coffeegeek, the Breville 900 dual boiler and Baratza Preciso arrive tomorrow. Where can I learn how to use this beast? #
@repetenz Cold brewed coffee turned out to be a disappoint. I like my coffee like I like my women: dark and bitter. in reply to repetenz #
.@chrismarquardt directs a scene from The Diamond Club. http://t.co/gp0tPLSU #
Amazon ripped me off – billed as a Baratza Preciso – it's just a Virtuoso. http://t.co/hI27agUU @CoffeeGeek @BaratzaTalk #
Yeah @CoffeeGeek @espresso911 @BaratzaTalk it's a phony. The old Virtuoso – no collar – but they put a "Preciso" sticker on the box! in reply to CoffeeGeek #
Fulfilled by Amazon but sold Speedwell Coffee Company of Las Vegas. I'm returning it. @CoffeeGeek @espresso911 @BaratzaTalk in reply to CoffeeGeek #
Hey the Breville double boiler is right @CoffeeGeek and gorgeous. Should I use distilled water to avoid scaling? Spring water for flavor? #
OK @BaratzaGal @coffeegeek says I should get a Vario. Not using Amazon again – recommended dealer in SF Bay Area? in reply to CoffeeGeek #
@OfficialWahl Of course they will, but the seller is definitely playing fast and loose. I'm reporting them to Baratza. in reply to OfficialWahl #
@jbrooks12 It was Bobby Llewellyn's Car Pool! http://t.co/IVmxKWFS in reply to jbrooks12 #
OK @CoffeeGeek what temp do you like? The default is 200 deg F. I've cleaned the machine and am ready to pull my first shot. #
Looks like it's going to be a long night. In a good way. #

@KevinEsmeier Of course you don't have to and that's one of my issues: that password works for anything until revoked. in reply to KevinEsmeier #
Just used the Breville dual-boiler to pull a cup of "Godfather's Roar" from the Petaluma Coffee Co. Rawr! #

Among other things @mat's saga highlights a problem with remote-wipe – something new on the desktop @RobertDStark @SGgrc in reply to RobertDStark #
Agreed @damienbowman. @Mat will join us today on TWiT to tell his story. 3p Pacific/6p Eastern/2200 UTC http://t.co/dCJO3KcU in reply to damienbowman #
@JonMoritz @waze @Jason Yeah it was called Dash – and very cool. But dead. In fact, standalone GPS devices are mostly dead. in reply to JonMoritz #
@danrichter34 @AdamSessler @kpereira @twit Tainted by G4. Sorry. in reply to danrichter34 #
Yes @Obando – Live coverage of the Mars landing tonight on TWiT with @acedtect, @drkiki, and @BadAstronomerComputing starts at 10p Pacific. #
@kpereira Has nothing to do with you Kevin – has everything to do with G4. I'm sure you're a great guy. in reply to kpereira #
@chriscweber @AdamSessler @TWiT @danrichter34 @kpereira I rest my case. in reply to chriscweber #
@cycowolf Another satisfied G4 fan? in reply to cycowolf #
@BinarySamurai_ @danrichter34 @AdamSessler @kpereira @TWiT Just look at all the lovely fans G4 has. in reply to BinarySamurai_ #
@EMMERIN I'm thinking you're a G4 viewer, right? in reply to EMMERIN #
Is there no live TV coverage of the Mars landing at all @thatdrew ? -sigh- in reply to thatdrew #
Is peanut butter ok? #
Live now on http://t.co/dCJO3KcU: Phil Plait the @BadAstronomer #
NBC will be showing the Mars landing tomorrow afternoon. Edited for length and content. #
Live now Steve Sell – the systems engineer for the sky crane. http://t.co/dCJO3KcU #
@BadAstronomer @twitlive Thank you Phil!! We love you! in reply to BadAstronomer #
OMG #
"We've got thumbnails." Not exactly one small step for man – but damn, it's MARS! #
The first person who will walk on Mars is probably a high school student watching this right now. #
@vinitneo Thanks!! in reply to vinitneo #
@vinitneo Thanks Sharky! in reply to vinitneo #
@EricBooth You have no idea what you're talking about. in reply to EricBooth #
Apparently @mat is waiting for Apple's response before publishing @abdon_junbug in reply to abdon_junbug #
Precisely @whtthfgg I have nothing but respect for @adamsessler and @kpereira. But I saw what G4 fans did to Digg. I want them to hate me. in reply to whtthfgg #
By the way, it's working: RT @Dennisdx1701: @leolaporte You're a dumbass #
@_TheNut NSFW is smarter & funnier than anything that ever appeared on G4. in reply to _TheNut #
@danielrhorton False syllogism. in reply to danielrhorton #
@mario_66 @dennisdx1701 I call bullshit. How do you know Kevin Perreira then? in reply to mario_66 #
@danielrhorton @AdamSessler Nothing wrong with Adam – again, it's G4 fans I fear. in reply to danielrhorton #
@mario_66 @dennisdx1701 Ah, I didn't know that. OK you're off the hook. in reply to mario_66 #
@jamacoop No, but I bet you are a G4 fan. Am I right? in reply to jamacoop #
@danielrhorton @adamsessler Excellent point. in reply to danielrhorton #
@CarmenCrincoli It's my own supposition. in reply to CarmenCrincoli #
@mario_66 Hugs! in reply to mario_66 #
@CarmenCrincoli You bettah off! #
I'm busy locking down my accounts after hearing HOW @mat was hacked. Asking @iyaz to do a Know How on this, too. #
@jobsta I am weeping tears of joy now. Thanks, Joel! in reply to jobsta #
@sukysp I agree it was much more complex than that, but I do fear the G4 crowd. in reply to sukysp #
@metsfan Turns out all Apple required was an address and last four digits of credit card on file. Hackers got that from Amazon. in reply to metsfan #
I'm not crazy about Google 2-factor @peterstork – it seems to be very flawed to me. I ask @sggrc on next Security Now. in reply to peterstork #
@travisharder Nope – read my tweets. It's the G4 audience I don't want to attract. in reply to travisharder #
@travisharder @AdamSessler buh bye! in reply to travisharder #
Tip #1 @vilhalmer – don't use same credit card for Amazon and Apple. Use single purpose CC#s if available. in reply to vilhalmer #
@WebRadioClassic Now that @mat has explained the hack I will definitely be talking about it in detail. in reply to WebRadioClassic #
@DiscussDisney @sarahlane was only on G4 for a few months. @kevinrose too. I think they're long forgotten by the bros. in reply to DiscussDisney #
I do @troldann but I want to check with @sggrc before explaining my concerns. in reply to troldann #
@jamacoop No you didn't! in reply to jamacoop #
Ah @_TheNut – surprisingly perhaps I do not. I am building a community, not audience. Quality not quantity. Max viewers is old media POV. in reply to _TheNut #
@_TheNut Not me, not at all. I probably made more money last year than G4. I know I have a bigger audience. in reply to _TheNut #
@sukysp You're probably right – G4 is a shadow of what it once was. in reply to sukysp #
@gomery Actually they can. I am a niche broadcaster that caters to a very specific audience. in reply to gomery #
@autographdude email my assistant, liz@twit.tv – didn't I sign a baseball for you? in reply to autographdude #
@troldann @gomery Bingo. in reply to troldann #
@monkeystick @_TheNut Then you may watch TWiT my friend! in reply to monkeystick #
@travisharder The good news about Clayton is that he doesn't seem to bring Fox fans along with him. in reply to travisharder #
@ajthind tune in http://t.co/dCJO3KcU and enjoy in reply to ajthind #
I do strongly recommend turning on @vinitneo mobile phone confirmation with Google – I think that's sufficient. in reply to vinitneo #
@techgeek88 Yep. Gazelle is US and Canada I believe. in reply to techgeek88 #
@R1838D I bought the Retina and I LOVE it! in reply to R1838D #
@kpereira I think not. Did you see the braindead vituperation I received from G4 fans. I want nothing to do with them. Sorry dude. in reply to kpereira #
@kpereira Besides you don't need to be on TWiT – it's just a dumb podcast network! in reply to kpereira #
@travisharder There's plenty of fish in the sea. I in general don't consider TV talent of any kind for TWiT. Clayton snuck in. in reply to travisharder #
@AlexDGeslin @sukysp G4 says it has all the old TechTV content but is sitting on it – and issues takedowns for unauthorized posters. in reply to AlexDGeslin #
@travisharder I understand if you don't understand my thinking. But I do spend a lot of time thinking about community building. in reply to travisharder #
@willkohl No I am only alienating people who think I'm a dick for thinking Kevin and Adam tainted. Precision targeting. in reply to willkohl #
@kpereira Wasn't my following dude. It was yours. Else why would they care? in reply to kpereira #
@ThePaulClements I understand. Please unfollow me. Thanks in advance. in reply to ThePaulClements #
@R1838D No I think that's overblown – how often do you upgrade a laptop anyway? in reply to R1838D #
@Dakota_ONeill @adamsessler @kpereira Mwahahaha. I love you too! in reply to Dakota_ONeill #
Hey @kpereira if Aaron Sorkin says you're tainted, then I'd worry. TWiT is nothing you need. Honest! in reply to kpereira #
@Dakota_ONeill @adamsessler @kpereira See ya! in reply to Dakota_ONeill #
@leops1984 Some are – more will. Broadly-based interstitial advertising is not working for many any more. in reply to leops1984 #
My fear @mattcutts is those single-use passwords. They're all you need to get into my account. Only Google supports 2-factor. in reply to mattcutts #
@ocelopan Reload the podcast – it was fixed days ago! in reply to ocelopan #
@netcheckup @_TheNut EXACTLY what I'm trying (apparently successfully) to avoid. in reply to netcheckup #
I don't know @john_maloney – seems like using a strong password on Google & adding mobile phone to account, is sufficient. in reply to john_maloney #
@RaoulRo @kpereira Anyone who think G4 is similar in any way to TechTV is mistaken. in reply to RaoulRo #
@LeafsFanInXile I use Lastpass and love it. in reply to LeafsFanInXile #
@nicatronTg @mattcutts That's reassuring! in reply to nicatronTg #
@kpereira Hah. Well I don't blame you for that. FWIW everyone tells me you're a great guy. It's truly not personal. in reply to kpereira #
@alanmoo I clearly need to read up on this. But I also find it very inconvenient. I have dozens of apps accessing Google stuff. in reply to alanmoo #
@Jimtac Yeah my problem, too. in reply to Jimtac #
@ThisWeekInTaint @kpereira Hey I think this might be one for @jason! in reply to ThisWeekInTaint #
@Falcon554 Good point, man. in reply to Falcon554 #
@Menolly07 I'll miss you and your penis. in reply to Menolly07 #
@RicardoZamora Thanks Ricardo!! in reply to RicardoZamora #
@radiocolin Exactly! in reply to radiocolin #
@ShaunDrong @kpereira @AdamSessler You know what – if that bugs you you can keep me off your podcast! I won't complain. in reply to ShaunDrong #
@cassaraj Not on our end – but there are plenty of places it can get out of sync. Does reloading the feed help? in reply to cassaraj #
@MinnesotaNick TWiT really isn't designed for people who would enjoy @aots – it's just a different kind of thing. in reply to MinnesotaNick #
@mattcutts Virtually all my apps do. It's really a PITA. But I will defer to @sggrc on this one. in reply to mattcutts #
I should have stated it better: G4 fired me and ruined something I worked for six years to create. #
I don't hate anyone who works or worked there, I just prefer not to have them on my shows. It's just a preference. #
I was too old for the demographic G4 was going for @Ian_Bell13 in reply to Ian_Bell13 #
Sarah and Kevin left G4 7 years ago @erickgomez – the taint washed off. in reply to erickgomez #
Oh yeah. I hate Comcast too. That is all. #
Yes @dailysellout I am a big fat snob. in reply to dailysellout #
@ganesha23 I do too – I thought everyone knew. in reply to ganesha23 #
@TheQuackers I NEVER trashed them personally. in reply to TheQuackers #
@danielpunkass YOU I love! Always have. in reply to danielpunkass #
You know @Amorpheus86 it ended well. But if Comcast/G4 had understood what we were doing it could have ended even better. in reply to Amorpheus86 #
Oh Christ. Comcast, really I like you fine. You're a great ISP. See back in 2004 you bought TechTV and… oh never mind. #
They kept something called The Screen Savers and that really was the final burn @tntoak @Amorpheus86 – renamed it AOTS later. in reply to tntoak #
@yepitsandy OK but do I have to have Adam Sandler on TWiT? in reply to yepitsandy #
@757EliasHZ @kpereira You know if someone didn't want me on their show because I worked at KFI I'd understand completely. in reply to 757EliasHZ #
@TFLAMB I don't think so. Kevin was the FACE of G4 for seven years. He's very strongly associated with them. in reply to TFLAMB #
Actually I'm having a blast @ohheyhowareyou – I had no idea the Twitter was this much fun. in reply to ohheyhowareyou #
@iamscottpage @ohheyhowareyou Hey Scott!! Great to hear from you again! in reply to iamscottpage #
@caferevolution Absolutely! We'd be honored! in reply to caferevolution #
Unfotunately @j_e_b_ some time ago I made the decision to be myself, warts and all, in public. I'm not an actor, I'm a real person. in reply to j_e_b_ #
@danrichter34 Not your fault at all! I shouldn't have answered so quickly and glibly. That's on me! in reply to danrichter34 #
@BenjaminZAMayo No, but 13-year-olds who are knee jerk fans of G4 needn't apply. in reply to BenjaminZAMayo #

@Warrenkerr @kpereira @arrington Please point me to the angry words – none of this was said in anger. in reply to Warrenkerr #
@cassaraj I think we covered it briefly – Jack was not much beloved in many circles. in reply to cassaraj #
We've been on a run @deanhuber – tomorrow: Daniel Suarez, author of Daemon, on his new book, Kill Decision. 3p Pacific http://t.co/dCJO3KcU in reply to deanhuber #

@edryhilario Tell Apple that – they're totally focused on iOS. What Mac news? in reply to edryhilario #
@ianlivesey Yeah but it got us blocked on YouTube in Germany! in reply to ianlivesey #
@edryhilario No one knows anything about that at all. It would be bald speculation. in reply to edryhilario #
@cassaraj US only. Sorry. in reply to cassaraj #
@cassaraj Oh shoot you're right it's http://t.co/NSZnEbrP in reply to cassaraj #
There are no TWiT apps from TWiT @rnasc they're all third-party. Recommend iOS: Shiftkey Software Android: F-Con http://t.co/B4fVu7vN in reply to rnasc #

Hey @ladyada is up for Entrepreneur of the year! Support @adafruit and vote at http://t.co/YDnEyZoS #

@EmbraceNext Right now! in reply to EmbraceNext #
It's better than that @thebestcorvette – iTunes rankings are like Billboard charts: they rank according to new subs not audience size. in reply to thebestcorvette #
Exactly right @JosephDawson – despite appearances iTunes charts do not reflect total audience AT ALL. in reply to JosephDawson #
