@zenimpulse I believe it was "Sammich".

YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW MAN, THERE'S SO MANY ROMS.

HA! http://t.co/jJn5Ah08

@cmartucci @zenimpulse @stevelyb I will gladly discuss this.

@zenimpulse @stevelyb I don't get heated.

@stevelyb Again, not defending him. What he did was wrong. Just stating one semi-positive outcome of ignorance turning to quasi-awareness.

@stevelyb and I'm talking just in general. not about any one issue in particular.

@stevelyb not defending him at all, that's just the way it is. people are now aware who weren't before.

@stevelyb my point is that people who didn't care at all before are now curious. that's important.

@stevelyb ehhh. I mean there ARE issues. Whether or not he meant to lie or not I think is irrelevant. It DID make people ask questions.

Gosh, I love Airfoil.

How many household things does one have to repair unassisted before being dubbed 'handy'? Because I'm at 1 and feeling preeettay good.

@marcoarment I'm in love with the sepia feature. By some chance, is there any way I could have that all the time?

@shawnblanc @BenjaminBrooks one of you dudes had your Skype chat blip sounds coming through your mic I think, just FYI.

@johnwinter love Dropzone! Any way to show a location's name in Circles? I have 3 folders that all look the same, and it'd help to see text.

@bjmcgeever I was forced into it by your bad habits!

@bjmcgeever haha, I just noticed you were using Grab! And i figured I'd give you a hard time.

@troymess haha, same here!

@stevelyb Pizza!

Gif of the day: http://t.co/vRsyWOcF

@bjmcgeever Command-Shift-4 for screenshots, yo.

Does *anyone* actually still think that Gizmodo is anything but a collector of link-bait articles? Tech journalism is so 2009, apparently.

@danbenjamin so when do we get a full tour of the 5by5 setup? i'd love to see it.

Oh, also, one more thing…#stangetz

This. You want to hear this. http://t.co/53OPkeqb #stangetz

Stan Getz. #stangetz

@therealprotonk Fucking grandpas.

@zenimpulse what'd you go with?

You clean your records to unwind, too, right?

@zenimpulse ah ok. well personally, I'd go with the Sonys, but if the M50s don't need an adapter, you might want those.

@zenimpulse Can you test them at all? I'd just go with whichever suit your taste more.

@zenimpulse good phone, but I thought you were going for good-looking?

@zenimpulse Shure's are generally good. I haven't heard these ones, but the reviews seem good.

@zenimpulse haha, that's ok. also, I'm not sure how to tell on my end if they ship to canada or not.

@zenimpulse these are a tad flimsy, but sound good: http://t.co/mYNy5Qi1

@zenimpulse I've heard these, and they sound good for the price range, plus they fold up: http://t.co/2iC57s2G

I've heard these, and they sound pretty good for the price range, and they fold up: http://t.co/2iC57s2G

@zenimpulse Take two: http://t.co/kSWhN9uJ

@zenimpulse No question: http://t.co/Py1dLlpD

@zenimpulse budget?

2 classes, 1 web-app, and 1 unknown project to go until I graduate in December. Guess I better get to work on the ol' resume.

Go to 59:09 to hear @smarterbits' reward for holding his tongue.

@therealprotonk haha. And that's what I almost say every week.

@smarterbits and be rewarded for it!

Episode 9 of @theimpromptu is out now! http://t.co/6AWkVYCe

@stevelyb @zenimpulse boom.

The simple fact of the matter is that Karen Carpenter's voice was complete gold.

@therealprotonk true. just some people taking it too far.

Several writers in my rss feed are giving credence to the idea that many apple fans are elitist jerks.

If you're an apple writer, there's a 90% chance I'm sick of reading your mind-numbing BS. Stop writing about why other companies suck.

I made a new blog post thing: http://t.co/ypDaevoW

@stevelyb @cmartucci @zenimpulse @therealprotonk @smarterbits nope, just saw all of them now, hahaha. I edited that of my own accord.

Writing a post in Markdown for the first time. Actually liking it a lot. Thanx @gruber. Can I call you Grubes? Well, I was going to anyway.

I think I have a blog just so I can redesign it more often than I post on it.

I think I have a blog just so I can redesign it more often than I post on it.

Since @stevelyb did a redesign and i'm a copycat, I did one too. http://t.co/ypDaevoW

@futurepaul are they somewhere in that huge thread? maybe you left them there?

@smarterbits I'm into it. Looks real good the iPhone.

@zenimpulse @stevelyb it downloads as well, but streaming works quite well on 3G most of the time.

@zenimpulse @stevelyb Yes it does. I've been streaming since I got it.

Ha. I hope this was intentional. http://t.co/B1hRTtVy

@shawnblanc me too. What's the new way? Duplicate and then Save... ?

@stevelyb @cmartucci bingo.

@cmartucci Right now i'm on 3500K. Occasionally if I have a headache i'll take down further to 3000K. How about you?

@cmartucci good to see someone else using Flux. Love that thing. Coding late at night kills my eyes without it.

@cmartucci Exactly the reason I moved my own gf's blog to WP. Everything about it is awful.

♫ Listening to "Life's A Happy Song" by The Muppets on @Rdio: http://t.co/J1Psa14S

Good luck, Curiosity. Plz send HD picz of cool rocks and dirt.

so…much…code…can't…see…whats…happening…

@cmartucci @stevelyb oh ok. yeah i feel ya. I spent a good month Libby's.

@cmartucci @stevelyb if i may interject, it's incredibly easy to import posts and comments from Blogger to Wordpress.

Also, big disappointment: no Rizzo the Rat. Dang. #muppets

Muppets was quality, but Amy Adams's performance was pretty weak. Main theme is awesome. Great classic comedy.

I want chocolate chip cookies, yet they are still in production in the kitchen. It is for this reason the good lord invented cookie dough.

@zenimpulse @therealprotonk @stevelyb @smarterbits get a room!

Stopped at Walmart to see the sights. Hundreds of people, parking lot completely full. People are insane.

If aliens came to earth and asked me what they should eat first, I would definitely say "mashed potatoes".

@reckless they're all terrible. "crazy lady on speed crying about black friday" is the new "creepy Palm lady".

New Chrysler commercial has great typography.

@stevelyb Agreed. Most of my friends are in different cities or across the country. Of course local places wouldnt be so popular. Good post.

@zenimpulse I was mostly kidding, anyway. ha.

@zenimpulse I want an app that does the opposite of stamp something so the world can know I don't approve.

How do I Non-Stamp Instacast HD?

@zenimpulse I can't imagine a time when I would listen to podcasts on my iPad anyway, but paying twice sucks. Poor at best.

Sorry, not forking over money for the iPad version of an app I already paid for. I'm looking at you, Instacast. Pretty weak.

Stamped: Time In. “Best album cover ever. Great jazz record from some authentic dudes.” http://t.co/TZRaVwn6

If you like classical-style piano even just a little, you gotta listen to this record on @Rdio. http://t.co/6Ryr90bL

It kind of throws me off guard when something I code works on the first try.

@codyfink I don't understand why it doesn't give a link to whatever someone stamped. Sort of defeats the purpose.

@Seeds0215 aw yeah. bring that thing in tomorrow.

@zenimpulse @smarterbits @stevelyb uh oh, no one told him he was out? yikes… :)

@smarterbits @stevelyb @zenimpulse I didn't sign the NDA yet.

@stevelyb @zenimpulse well, not too many yet, just technical recording and editing notes for me so far.

@stevelyb @zenimpulse the podcast, i mean.

@stevelyb @zenimpulse got a NV note dedicated to it already.

@stevelyb haha, i can completely understand. we need a "people offend me" podcast.

@stevelyb people's ignorance regularly stuns me.

I'm your only friend, I'm not your only friend but I'm a little glowing friend but really I'm not actually your friend, but I am. #tmbg

@stevelyb man, you should hear the kids on campus here whine and complain about bandwidth. it's kind of pathetic.

@stevelyb dude, that's sweet.

@codyfink just any talk like that in general annoys me. people can have their opinions, but I don't want to subject to it at their will.

@codyfink Part of me likes knowing who is posting this crap though, so I remember to not like them in real life.

I like cleaning things up. So you can imagine my pleasure in de-friending/de-following people who rant about politics. One more down.

@stevelyb I really want to jump ship already. I wish they'd tell us how far the final release is out.

@stevelyb I just don't understand whats taking so long. If wunderlist had perfect sync their first release, why doesn't Things after years?

@stevelyb ...after the beta. I don't have the iOS beta, just the Mac beta. So it's absolutely worthless to me still. Grr.

@stevelyb the whole thing sucks. For Mac, you have to download a separate "beta" Things.app that you won't be able to access data from...

Textastic for iPad looks awesome. Figuring out ways to not buy it. Can't think of many. Must. Save. Money.

@MelissaLupole easy! just root against your most hated teams! Almost as much fun.

@stevelyb yes, and conveniently, all the content too!

Never fails: http://t.co/qX6LVF4m

@troymess sure man! I'll send a mix today when I get a chance.

@chrisbowler Do you mean the actual PHP developers or just dudes like me and you? I just use it to denote an array i.e. $_array

On a related note, Harold and Maude was awesome.

Heard Cat Stevens Father and Son for the first time. Immediately knew the Flaming Lips ripped him off- even before I saw the lawsuit. Yikes

@stevelyb they said at the cast reunion at the new Yorker festival said it would be filming this summer.

@stevelyb Its painful. I've only been a Things user for a few months, yet it's been too long without cloud sync. Can't imagine waiting years

@jasemorrissey @zenimpulse looks awesome, but the name is…well…not good.

@hotdogsladies good morning! how are you?

Just recorded my first song in about 2.5 years. Weird.

@hotdogsladies MmmmBOLK bag.

Math is hard.

@faitherina As a straight male, I can still support this.

Watch that extra $row, kids, it'll getcha.

@codyfink I was thinking about going barebones and doing just html and body tags too. Looks like they beat me to it. Dang

I guess I should have figured that mentioning appletv, iOS and Mac in the same tweet would trigger the spambots.

@ttscoff sounds like a good star trek episode. Only one person to blame. Q.

Navigating a large iCloud library on an Apple TV with the remote is the worst. Might as well just AirPlay from iOS or Mac.

@wilw behold, the magic of photoshop: http://t.co/U0pT2ayu

Is there a PHP module for inserting semicolons where I've been missing them for the last 3 hours? Also, one that can read my thoughts?

Semicolons are the cause of most of my stress in the last month or two.

So, I guess we can add Microsoft Socl to the list of social networks I won't be on.

So, I guess we can add Microsoft Socl to the list of social networks I won't be on.

@stevelyb @smarterbits man, I wish. I don't do any cocoa/obj-c stuff. Mostly PHP/JS/HTML/CSS.

@viticci #noUSinternetsforTicci

@viticci somebody missed the little red dotted line.

@zenimpulse well if anyone could make them do it...

@zenimpulse Yeah, I can understand for sure. We know they'll change stuff if enough people complain so perhaps others will feel the same way

@zenimpulse If I was on 3G for example, I'd like to only see what's on the phone so I can't stream anything and use data.

@zenimpulse Sometimes I just want to get rid of clutter. A switch at the top of Music.app to toggle it rather than jumping to settings.app.

@zenimpulse but what I matched w/iTM doesn't show up under Purchased, that's only what I actually bought through the iTunes store.

@zenimpulse w/iTM, it shows up like this, and to see only whats on the phone, you have to go to settings. http://t.co/u4f1RV9J

I should clarify, I meant "switch quickly between on the phone/on iCloud". cc/ @zenimpulse

There has to be a better way to view only music on the phone than going into settings. #itunesmatch

Awesome singer/songwriter @mybandowen does one his best in a wig shop. Good stuff. http://t.co/xEvzPXVx

@cmartucci that's crazy! I'd be all "gimme admin access, yo!"

I wonder if I'm the only one on campus that tweaks the desktop picture, finder prefs, and dock items on every lab Mac I use.

@codyfink Yeah. It says you get three months for free when the beta ends. And they'll delete everything once it's done.

@viticci It's a beta still: http://t.co/ntoNUtWm

@viticci It's a beta still: http://t.co/ntoNUtWm

@timbalion where I can I see said video?

@dangerdave Cloak is crazy sweet. I may never pay for it, but I'll be damned if I don't use the 2 hr/mo. Beautiful and awesome.

Well I guess I take that one back, ha. #interception.

4th quarter steelers are the worst ever. Ugh.

@jsnell say I'm the only bee in your bonnet.

Hey @CBS. Here's the thing. There are too many TV timeouts. Too many commercials. It makes football less fun to watch. End of story.

Just saw the most desperate "please use the post office" commercial ever. Hilarious.

@troymess holy crap dude. that album you did is amazing.

@shawnblanc I see what you did there.

@smarterbits "We Are the Tide" get it!

@smarterbits absolutely. Have you heard their new one?

@smarterbits Anything by these bands: Dawes, Blind Pilot, Phoenix, Fleet Foxes, Bon Iver, Maritime, The Tallest Man On Earth.

@smarterbits what kind of music?

@zenimpulse get a mophie?

Also, so cool that I can't type.

I'm so cool that using friday night to learn javascript. Yep, that cool.

Who's really nerdy and wants to test my future podcasting setup? @zenimpulse @cmartucci

@danbenjamin it's ok man, next year the 5.0 comes out with beta versions of both of those!

@verge Hasn't changed at all.

Good Track: ♫ Listening to "Blue Skies" by Noah and the Whale on @Rdio: http://t.co/vcGPw6Zm

@zenimpulse Ha, well yours are real issues, so I feel for you. Notice I said "2 full days."

iOS update did nothing for my battery issues. Still getting only 2 full days out of one charge.

@BenjaminBrooks Agreed. Did it last night and was kind of blown away by the whole thing. Tap Time Capsule, tap update, done.

Holy crap. Wilson Ramos was kidnapped??

@cmartucci Still totally awesome though, obviously.

@cmartucci Strange to me that this is making the rounds now. I saw this very picture (I think) when I was a kid.

OTA took < 10 minutes to download and install. Sw33t.

Going to stats class intentionally late so I don't get accosted by the professor because i didn't do the homework. Smart? Oh yes.

Oh snap. Prof just called her out on it. I feel vindicated.

Seriously people, I'm not being dramatic, STOP putting every word you say on your slides. Worst. Thing. Ever.

@zenimpulse dude, brand?

Just @'d @arnettwill with an arrested development quote, only to look through his stream to see 2 billion others. #wittyfail

@arnettwill sure, the guy in the $5,000 dollar suit is telling me what to watch on television.

@danbenjamin worse than inside sunglasses!

@BenjaminBrooks little red bar, black/grey header thing, then nothing but white. guess it's just not my favorite.

@BenjaminBrooks truly, i'm not just hating on the change. this is my big qualm: http://t.co/Y0zE3beK

@stevelyb @cmartucci @BenjaminBrooks also, that header overall just isn't consistent with the rest of the site. gets too much visual weight.

@stevelyb @cmartucci @BenjaminBrooks Everything up until Recent Posts is kind of unbalanced. Not into the gray bar for most recent article.

@zenimpulse @codyfink you aren't kidding! Proof: http://t.co/iHYdNoYa

@zenimpulse but seriously that's awesome too, haha.

@codyfink @zenimpulse oh shit, there was something besides a space in that last tweet? just showed up as empty on twitterrific!

@zenimpulse man, that's deep.

Wow, Mac App Store, how you've changed: http://t.co/iZnxAaE4

@ttscoff gotcha. that being said, what's your primary reason for sticking with droplr? any advantages?

@ttscoff I use CloudApp like crazy. Do you use both together? What does Droplr do that CloudApp doesn't?

@zenimpulse sounds like the best we can do without Flash, I guess...

@zenimpulse "STUNNING HTML 5 video, awesome CSS3 support. Only on the nation's largest wireless network."

Adobe killed mobile Flash for Android? But what will phone makers put on the stat sheets now??

Somehow made it through the day on 18% iPhone battery. Miraculous.

@stevelyb nah, i just use control + shift + eject to sleep and lock.

Who breaks iPod touch digitizers when trying to replace another part? This guy. http://t.co/ht6GTR4G

I will say that Brian sounded better on Surf's up than Carl. Fact.

I can never decide which Beach Boy had my favorite voice. Such a hard decision.

@Saverapp at least you'll get more feedback!

@stevelyb but what if he didn't *want* anyone to see it?

All the clocks on campus sync to a time server. The time server is down/was down over the weekend. All the clocks on campus are wrong. Yay.

@codyfink @stevelyb yiiiiikes.

Obj-C's syntax and frameworks and stuff are daunting for a beginner.

@cmartucci If you're just starting out, I'd recommend something a little bit simpler to nail down the concepts. JS/PHP would be good ones.

@cmartucci …and by "it" I mean the language, not the book.

@cmartucci Though I don't do anything with it yet, I have this book, and it's a good one: http://t.co/emZB7bzM

@groovify perhaps. Rdio does a pretty good job of recommendations already, though.

@groovify no problem. Just dont use either service.

GF looking at code over shoulder: preg_match? Me: perform regular expression match. GF: glad youre not making a dating sight for unwed moms

@groovify please stop sending me playlists, Thanks!

@smarterbits Someone is bitter they didn't get one!

@stevelyb when i see that message, I know I'm going to have to fix it myself.

@jessiekay17 well luckily your phone does that for you!

@jessiekay17 That's only because you had an extra hour.

@smarterbits oh absolutely. 100% with you there.

Good reading material. http://t.co/xzM8yMpC

Walmart. #publicdisplayofsweatpants

@mybandowen why send me silly notes?

I've hit the end-of-friday loop: facebook-reddit-twitter-reeder, repeat

@MelissaLupole yeah, we just order them for them and they pay us when it's fixed. wouldn't want to assume they'd order the right part :)

@MelissaLupole and i'm sure they know, since we're charging them 90 bucks...

@MelissaLupole Well it's definitely mechanical failure. I don't know that i've ever seen a drive die from a virus, but who knows.

@MelissaLupole Yeah I know, sucks.

And of course, in the last week, I've diagnosed 6 HDD failures on student computers on campus. Sorry, kids.

Hard drive prices are insane right now. $85 for a 250GB hard drive. that's a 100% jump in price in just over a week.

@JamisenEtzel Love that stuff. Use it all the time for example text on webpages.

Oh wait, it doesn't work on Twitterffic?

Do a barrel roll.

My "usual" (every day): 8" turkey sub lightly toasted on honey wheat, no pickle, ranch on side, extra swiss, extra lettuce, no tomato. Yep.

Girl behind counter at the cafe asked if I wanted to try something different for lunch today. My response? "Why would I want to do that?"

@zenimpulse eh, different teams probably. I would assume the Do A Barrel Roll division worked on that one.

@codyfink See, the rest of their stuff is definitely "chicky". However, I think the fact that it's Hall & Oats scales it back a bit.

@codyfink dude, it's really good. that girl's voice is like, so dreamy.

Listening to "Interpreting the Masters: A Tribute to Daryl Hall and John Oates" by The Bird and the Bee on @Rdio: http://t.co/9RKnHlhJ

The Bird and the Bee's Hall & Oates cover record is surprisingly awesome coding music.

How I feel most days: http://t.co/mNKm3JVi

@smarterbits K. So, I started my reply sentence with the very word you said you claimed was your nemesis! Therefore, I am now your nemesis.

@smarterbits I know. So annoying, right! (see what I did there)

@smarterbits yes. although the product comparisons and "story stream" features are pretty cool too.

@smarterbits I was at first, but the design is mostly what i'm talking about. some very talented people obviously involved there.

Man, The Verge is sweet.

Also, I love putting informative yet mildly humorous comments into my code. Perhaps some future dev will get a chuckle out of them.

Programming. Though I am not a natural at it, and it comes slowly to me, I love it and all the little victories that come with it.

@marcoarment I expected turtles as well. I hung around though since I liked the service.

@stevelyb friendship over.

@torybriggs dang! sorry i couldn't help more. good luck!

@torybriggs have you tried a reboot/repair permissions/reindex?

@torybriggs the 'd' at the end means it's the daemon that controls the indexer. check this article: http://t.co/SMdgGtIY

@torybriggs could also be spotlight- i think it's usually associated with indexing. I had a runaway mds related to time machine though.

@torybriggs I believe that is Time Machine.

@zenimpulse I use Reeder on my machine, but there are two machines at school I use, and on those, I use(d) HelvetiReader. Heartbreaking.

CRAP. New Google Reader broke HelvetiReader. Grr.

@JoannaStern currently stirring the pot in the @verge turntable room playing long-form Gloria Gaynor. Controversial.

Look at that beautiful icon! http://t.co/u1XpLU3i

@smarterbits I kinda think *most* websites should actually just turn off comments.

@hotdogsladies I especially enjoyed the bit about parrots.

@shawnblanc Awesome. Even at 26 I still have a boyish obsession with trains.

@smarterbits @stevelyb @therealprotonk also, @cmartucci's girlfriend got linked by The Loop yesterday. Dude's topping the charts everywhere.

@stevelyb @smarterbits @cmartucci @therealprotonk true, I was doing the bragging for him.

@stevelyb @cmartucci a.) you met him b.) he posted a picture of you on his flickr c.) called you handsome on said picture. achiev. unlocked.

And now saturday has turned to writing cron tables.

@cmartucci It's a shame. Your pageviews must be taking a huge hit.

@cmartucci Obviously you should have read up on the CEO of your domain registrar's company's tendency to hunt wild animals for sport. Duh.

@codyfink exactly what i wanted to know. thanks man!

@codyfink So i can use the app to send audio to the headphones? Or the multitasking tray controls to do so?

@therealprotonk that's true, but I still forget every time!

Does anyone know how Bluetooth headphones connect to an iOS device? Can AirPlay be used with them?

Never ceases to bug me how apple put the volume controls and mute switch on the iPad on the opposite side as on the iPhone.

You'd think reading about Linux process termination would be an ideal way to spend a Saturday, but it just is not. #college

OH GOD BERKMAN

If you aren't watching the World Series, you're making a mistake.

@smarterbits he should be a programmer, because his logic is spot on.

@therealprotonk Amazing. Hahaha.

@therealprotonk almost definitely. I always say those who dish it out are probably the ones that should ask themselves some questions.

Yes, anonymous internet opponent, you're right. I'm "gay" because my virtual guy got a lower score than your virtual guy on a video game.

@stevelyb the strange thing is, I typed mint dot com (with the dot) in Tweetbot, and that's what got posted.

By which I mean Mint dot Com app updated with iPad version!

@danbenjamin See, I always looked forward to Scrappy Doo episodes as a young'n, but only with the original cast as well. A little variety.

iTunes Match tomorrow?

♫ Listening to "Night Train" by Amos Lee on @Rdio: http://t.co/Z5xKx9YC

@MelissaLupole my thoughts exactly.

@viticci any reason or rhyme to your homescreen icon positioning?

@VintageAplomb oh, I hadn't noticed.

YO. Why didn't anybody tell me about mysql_fetch_array( )? Jerks.

@MelissaLupole It's crazy. Sweatpants, hoodies and hats. If I'm ever a professor, I won't put up with any of that. So sloppy.

Reddit has turned into an annoying war between atheists and theists. I don't disagree with either side, but that's not what i go there for.

Not that I'll care about any of this next summer when I'm getting the job they wanted.

One dude had his hood up the whole time. Three wore hats. Lots of reading the slides word for word too. Sigh.

It's Saturday! Which means sweatpant-clad college students. Only today, they're giving presentations in front of the class. Embarrassing.

Man, battery life on iOS 5 has been less than stellar. Noticeably worse than 4.2.

Just realized I only have 5 more classes to take until I graduate from college. Where the hell did that go?

At this point, friday night is Oreos and Netflix. Don't judge.

@stevelyb Whew, good thing I'm 26 now!

I want to work for @verge.

@verge can college students apply for the editorial assistant job? Is this a full time thing?

@zenimpulse @codyfink http://t.co/HJRpMMEc

@codyfink @zenimpulse yep, that's all I use. I have about 4 field notes notebooks in various places. perfect for everything.

@codyfink and here's where people yell at moleskin. http://t.co/oIvOHTYl

@codyfink They decided to crowdsource a new logo. Spec work pisses off designers. http://t.co/OtPbuiT3

Yikes. People are really up in arms about this Moleskine thing.

@stevelyb Yeah, that's a big reason why I love Things. It's really great-looking. That cloud sync thing is taking an eternity though.

@stevelyb Believe me, if I could afford Omnifocus i'd probably go that route. Too expensive though.

@stevelyb I just have everything in there already, and it does sync really fast over wifi between Mac and iPhone.

Oh is that all? http://t.co/vTfUjF7k

@VintageAplomb that's no excuse, we modified the room so your bed is next to the stove, remember? that way you never have to leave!

@vintageaplomb is it pumpkin pie season?

@faitherina Spotify has a better bitrate with their premium pricing. Rdio won't disclose, but a lot of people think it's 128 kbps.

Gruber- "We criticize Android for being poorly designed because it’s poorly designed. We favor iOS because it’s better designed. That’s it."

@drance @stevelyb I got it now- only clears what's visible for really long URLs though. Hitting Cmd-L selects it all though.

@drance @stevelyb under what circumstances? doesn't work for me.

All gone. :( http://t.co/SmiwzpVt

Pointless, tedious assignment is tedious and pointless. Rgh.

@troymess do you need a jailbreak for that?

Watch. http://t.co/zct0Obv1

@stevelyb @therealprotonk @smarterbits @zenimpulse are we chatting or what?

Mitt Romney: A Bad Lip Reading. http://t.co/6Pm0TQCN

@smarterbits Yep.

@smarterbits I thought "this liveblog will be interesting." Instead, I'm just depressed.

@smarterbits I refer you to my last 4 tweets.

I KNEW it! http://t.co/k8RSJq0w

Wait…Face Unlock is a feature? How about a buggy battery-sucker? Sounds like Flash.

I mean Apple sold 4 million pre-orders for the 4S without THIS: http://t.co/3okbdM8l

So do Samsung/Moto/HTC realize that Android is awful and fragmented and that's why they tout their specs so much? Seems like it.

Good logic, Tomtom. http://t.co/0f8AktQT

Sorry, 4.65 inches on a cell phone is gaudy. Can your thumb even reach the other side of the screen?

Anybody know ANY way to play MKV files from Mac to Apple TV 2?

I always wonder how guys like Louis Bedigian get hired to write for Forbes. Page-clicks I guess. What terrible journalism.

You aren't a true Apple nerd unless you're listening to the Q4 earnings call right now.

Pro tip: When in doubt, just use Helvetica.

Something I never wanted to be on my to-do list. I guess I couldn't avoid it forever being a student. http://t.co/gQlbYuKs

@flyosity @stevelyb design wise, yes. seems like this is way more functional though. reading texts and seeing/making calls is killer.

@stevelyb Well, try the format and install first, for sure.

@stevelyb got applecare?

@stevelyb slowdowns and lockups on a fresh build would definitely lend itself to a hard drive problem. I'd take it to an Apple store.

@stevelyb If so, it sounds like a hard drive issue.

@stevelyb did you do a format and install? like, truly fresh install?

@marcoarment because, man, like, you know, 5 bucks is like, way too much money man.

@stevelyb dude. @gruber called you handsome. http://t.co/zFiVFY6L

@zenimpulse It was one of those "I'M A GENIU….wait already exists" moments.

@zenimpulse well yeah, and Touchpad.

Neeeeevermind. http://t.co/YtId7LDQ

What if you could turn the iPhone's screen into a trackpad for your computer?

@stevelyb yessir.

Also, the fact that I wasn't there to set everything up for her is a testament to iOS's usability. She's not a huge nerd and had no problems

Just had first iPhone to iPhone FaceTime with Libby. So awesome. I don't see any reason to call on the phone now.

Here's how you wrap iPhone earbuds. http://t.co/xSv9we1D

Do I look like DF now? Oh well. http://t.co/ypDaevoW

@cmartucci @stevelyb man I just don't know anymore. What is real life? Who knows? I'm depressed now.

@stevelyb so what IS 4G?

@stevelyb @shawnblanc the speeds are the same though…

@BenjaminBrooks On my way!!

@codyfink nahh. I'm good! I thought it might make some invigorating conversation.

Who wants to have coffee and a chat about MySQL Left Outer Joins?

@stevelyb Until I googled it, I assumed that was a person who couldn't control their bladder. The More You Know.

@torybriggs hey man, thanks for the great newsletter. so great.

Ok, who knows about $_SERVER variables in PHP?

@stevelyb yeah, but I have no idea. Seems the recommendation is to just reinstall it.

@stevelyb usually, the partition is installed with lion. For some reason, it didnt install for me at all.

@stevelyb I think I have as well. I didn't even get a Lion Recovery Partition. Just didn't even get one.

@ios5musicicon oh yes you are!

Homescreen: http://t.co/5Mwvnk5r

10/12 students present in my small lab class today are sporting sweatpants. Stay classy. #college

It's funny reading about things that irked you but never knew why. Example: Quicktime 4.0. http://t.co/rDtVPbJV

Also, the Music icon is pretty bad.

iOS 5. New features, same terrible wallpapers.

@cmartucci I guess i forget that not everyone is a huge nerd.

@cmartucci Yeah thats mostly how it is here. She's glad someone can do it for her. I keep wondering why she isn't SO PUMPED for iOS 5...

@cmartucci We do so much, right? Mine doesn't even really care, haha. Can't have her versions behind, though, obviously. I care too much.

Girlfriend getting full Lion/10.7.2 and iCloud treatment courtesy of her awesome boyfriend. What a guy.

@cmartucci sounds good, until they shut it off for "unusual spending" like everyone else's accounts.

Hey Apple, thanx for the Web Inspector window bug fix in Safari. You're awesome.

@toolstoys deal breaker.

@BenjaminBrooks dude, call that guy's supervisor. that's amazing.

@codyfink See, I like it too, and i'm not sure why.

♫ Listening to "Table For Glasses" by Jimmy Eat World on @Rdio: http://t.co/YYatLlgb

@ohheydiorella also, WOW that was poorly typed.

@ohheydiorella It's actually really awesome. The key is make shortcuts things you'd never type otherwise. Example: ;;form for an HTML form

If you're into folk/rock/roots kinda music, this guy is awesome, and this a great performance. http://t.co/OjzWWn9G

Love Text Expander-until I accidentally type the shortcut that expands a massive code block into the middle of an essay on open source. Ha.

@MelissaLupole ha, i'm aware of that.

@troymess I know. Hence the weeping. But I'll live I guess. Somehow.

@troymess Man, Libby's getting one too. Likewise, the jealousy abounds. I tried to make up for it by using Voice Control, I just cry.

@troymess Absolutely. I love everything. Yesterday was Christmas, only it lasts for months.

@MelissaLupole at least that's what he said the last time i saw him interviewed

@MelissaLupole "wellll uh, team do good, i play good, we get lot of shots and play good."

@smarterbits @stevelyb @therealprotonk a real smartass, this one!

@zenimpulse well if you don't get it, the chat support group is here to support you.

@BenjaminBrooks I always thought that site was started so some dude could give his wife a good reason he had to buy new Apple stuff.

@BenjaminBrooks I'm sure someone's going home with those things.

The guns, they've stopped...

Daring Fireball has a gradient. I'm scared.

Any iCloud users getting this message? http://t.co/oHnOILJH

@AnthonyKovacs there ya go.

@AnthonyKovacs the Gold Master, I mean.

@AnthonyKovacs but are you on iOS 5?

@AnthonyKovacs I don't know! You updated through iTunes right? It should have a little "Store" button at the top.

I gotta say- Reading List is pretty nice. I might just be able to find a use case where I use it instead of Instapaper.

@codyfink @stevelyb tweet marker support?

Folks on iMessage: if you're on an iPhone, your phone number is shown when you send a message. Just a forewarning.

@smarterbits dgribbin at me dawt com

Wouldn't it be more clever if Apple ID was Apple iD?

@stevelyb what? it says "Read 6:03pm"

@stevelyb get my iMessage dude?

@christiansaint Depends. I'll see how much space backups and other stuff take up, and if necessary then yes.

@christiansaint Yes I did.

Full-on switch to iCloud for email.

@stevelyb why hasn't the universe exploded?

@christiansaint specifically, System Prefs > iCloud

@christiansaint iCloud prefs

Uh, I have 25GB on iCloud. Sweet?

Switched to a torrent. LIfe saved.

Accidentally stopped my iOS 5 download. Restarting. I hate myself. 3 hours to go.

@stevelyb Will do. My download slowed though, so it'll be a while.

Currently downloading iOS 5 at 9.3 Mbps. OK!

@zenimpulse kidding, of course. but yes. that.

@zenimpulse i don't even know what that is. this is 'merica.

Holy. Software. Update. Day. Batman. IPhoto. Aperture. OSX. iOS. iTunes. iCloud. iWork. Third party apps. New Apple apps. Christmas.

@BenjaminBrooks ...That should hint to check the notification center when you're done.

@BenjaminBrooks the scenario with missing notifications after a call happens in iOS 4 too. Don't you see them when you unlock the phone?

Of course the moment I walk into class, iOS 5 is out. Pppbpbpbb.

Well, this is going to be a small problem for a lot of people. http://t.co/T2tO9mcQ

http://t.co/KFyLHiJu is live.

@viticci coincidentally, it won't install. Says iOS 5 required.

@viticci I'm seeing airport utility in the US

@zenimpulse @therealprotonk @codyfink @smarterbits Not I. Wish I could.

@zenimpulse dude, so awesome. that was my first try too! I got like 6 100/100. haha.

I got 83/100 in this html5 kerning game http://t.co/VIMTKDVz

Ok, the TextEdit icon just gave me chills. http://t.co/Xq1YGnOZ

@bullfroger89 @MelissaLupole the mouse, which coincidentally doesn't exist on a mobile device for a good reason. hmmm.

@bullfroger89 @MelissaLupole I really can't understand why flash is still around. Battery-eating, buggy as hell, and designed for the mouse.

@stevelyb so what are you using for a phone at the moment?

@MelissaLupole just a lot less intuitive overall. managing media is a joke. apps aren't great…it goes on. plus, flash can go jump in a lake.

@codyfink turns out all I needed was pizza and root beer.

@MelissaLupole yikes, good luck out there. I tried a Xoom today and it was frankly the worst thing ever.

@MelissaLupole yikes, good luck out there. I tried a Xoom today and it was frankly the worst thing ever.

Heavenly. http://t.co/3vhtaiBz

@MelissaLupole why?

One benefit of having a professor that doesn't speak great english is that I don't have to write great english. Proofreading? Not today.

@MelissaLupole if you want to update your iPad to iOS 5, you'll need to update to iTunes 10.5 I think.

G/f just got her shipment notification from Apple. Oct. 14th indeed.

@codyfink Hmm. So the things then go away permanently?

So, what happens when there's nothing on your to-do list that you're currently willing to subject yourself to? Do I run away?

@gruber The PIttsburgh Pirates.

@JoannaStern holy crap, NSFW!

I just used a Xoom for the 1st time and the kid I was configuring the Internet for had to show how to get to the homescreen and settings app

Who are Steve Jobs' children? And why hasn't anyone checked their midichlorian count?

@cmartucci I did it when I was 8. Nothing really happened except a dead baby appearing in the sink and the devils face in the mirror. Wtvr.

Make fun of the new Cards app, but I am definitely going to use it. A lot. Making your own cards without having to leave your iPhone? Yep.

We got a couple iMacs in today. Just a few... http://t.co/gcAWCkZv

Siri has the same voice as my car. I wonder if they'll fight.

Yo, did everybody miss the part where Eddy Cue said iTunes Match streams all your iCloud music?

Eddy Cue is awesome.

@stevelyb @codyfink keep it in the chat doooooood

@codyfink um, yes. absolutely.

Whether or not I get a 4S, iOS 5 is what i'm most looking forward to. Wireless sync, iMessage, better Mail, OTA updates. Yes.

OK. Where is the Cards app? I WANT TO SEND SOME CARDS.

@marcoarment Nooooooooo...

@viticci means the webserver is still up, but something is awry.

So we know what happens when the Apple Store goes down, how about when the whole site goes down? http://t.co/qAHbvKuY

@codyfink @stevelyb @zenimpulse @therealprotonk our favorite tweeter has tweeted another topical tweet

@zenimpulse twitter is definitely going down today.

@codyfink @therealprotonk @stevelyb agreed.

@stevelyb @codyfink ON IT!

@stevelyb @codyfink ps love you

@stevelyb @codyfink GET IN A CHAT ROOM DAMMIT!

Anybody on OSX use the dashboard calendar widget? If you even have it in your dashboard, you NEED this revamp: http://t.co/YUuQ9WR3

@stevelyb @codyfink the man is a genius.

@codyfink What if 10.8…wait for it…doesn't HAVE a menu bar?? Boom. Just blew your mind.

@BenjaminBrooks web font previews in illustrator/photoshop? that'd be killer.

@BenjaminBrooks Why is the typekit buyout such a bad thing? this could be an awesome thing for web fonts.

For the first time in about 6 years, I won't be following the Apple keynote on a live blog. Oh college, how will you ruin me next?
