Oh crap I need to plug in my MacBook Air?s power wait no I don?t. pic.twitter.com/0OjnMHw5sA
@chartier They should probably make that icon logarithmic.
- Jesse Spector:
Ahem. ?The Game? is not Michigan-OSU. RT @BillBender92: Is the Iron Bowl better than The Game? http://www.sportingnews.com/ncaa-football/story/2013-11-24/the-game-vs-the-iron-bowl-ohio-state-michigan-auburn-alabama ?
@jessespector Dude, you better be talking about the Michael Douglas movie.
- Jesse Spector:
@jeffporten I wasn?t, necessarily.
@jessespector I figured not. I tend to comprehend only 7% of your tweets, by and large.
- Wil Shipley:
@Moltz Also they REPLACED the sister with an actress who looks NOTHING like her. WTF, ARROW?
- Moltz:
@wilshipley What?!
- Wil Shipley:
@Moltz Black Canary? It?s a totally different actress. The one in the original premiere was HOTTT.
- Moltz:
@wilshipley Ah, the lawyer?s sister, not Speedy.
- Kevin van Haaren:
@Moltz @wilshipley speedy’ s a girl now?
@kvanh @moltz @wilshipley My vote is for “still addicted to heroin.”

@lexfri Hope it uses one of the Robins who’s not dead.
On Christmas Day, learn if @GlennF has a TARDIS, or simply has become one with the Speed Force.
- David Chartier:
Yeah so, the T-Mobile iPad Air not such a great idea if you want to use data during cross-country train travel.
@chartier Between which points? I have no trouble with TMo, but I’m mainly NE Corridor.
- Jason Snell:
dary… The Wikipedia edit war about Paul McGann’s tenure as The Doctor is going to be legen–[wait for the time loop]–
- Serenity Caldwell:
@jsnell Immediately after I watched it, I went to the Whovian Wikipedia. All updated. Craziness.
@settern @jsnell Confused. New 8th Doctor story?
- Jason Snell:
@jeffporten @settern Go watch it right now! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-U3jrS-uhuo ?
@jsnell @settern Yes, I found @GlennF‘s tweet after my initial confusion.
- Glenn Fleishman:
@jeffporten @jsnell @settern I?ve retconned all my tweets. You won?t remember anything. Ren finds a ringtone. ?But?how could I forget?”
@jsnell @settern I recall disliking the ’96 Who, now wondering whether it deserves a re-watch.
@GlennF, for you the New 52 retcon is the number of milliseconds delay before each new tweet. @jsnell @settern
- Jason Snell:
@jeffporten @settern It’s not good.
- James Hutson:
@jeffporten @jsnell @settern There is no rewatching. There is only editing it out of reality? What were we talking about?
- James Hutson:
@jeffporten @jsnell @settern (That Doctor has enormous traction with the Whovian audiobook community JSYK)
- Jason Snell:
@jameshutson @jeffporten @settern McGann is great. TV Movie is not.
- James Hutson:
@jsnell @jeffporten @settern Yes. What the man with the scifi podcast said.

Omg my Glitch avatar! How I’ve missed you. pic.twitter.com/KsulEr8pwO
@rikomatic Nice hat.
Oh, WaPo, you’re adorable. ?@washingtonpost: How the death of BitTorrent helped take the edge off broadband growth http://wapo.st/1eNldq8 ?
- Josh Centers:
So apparently I’m invited to CES and @marissamayer will be speaking. Tempting.
- Jeff Carlson:
@jcenters Gotta do it at least once. And then never again.
- Josh Centers:
@jeffcarlson Maybe I can talk @adamengst into it, though I think @jeffporten usually goes.
- Jeff Carlson:
@jcenters @adamengst @jeffporten It’s not a big TidBITS draw. @glennf and I went one year on own dime when CES was right before Macworld.
- Glenn Fleishman:
@jeffcarlson @jcenters @adamengst @jeffporten Sort of good to go out of sick fascination or to gorge self with product previews.
- Josh Centers:
@GlennF @jeffcarlson @adamengst @jeffporten Problem is, not much interesting to preview anymore.
@jcenters @GlennF @jeffcarlson @adamengst I’ll be there, but if you want to join me, I’m not complaining.
- Glenn Fleishman:
@jeffporten @jcenters @jeffcarlson @adamengst I know your secret now. You do 3-ASIC monte.
@jeffcarlson @jcenters @adamengst @GlennF I always find some worthwhile fodder. But I seem to be the only guy in the industry who enjoys it.
- Glenn Fleishman:
@jeffporten @jeffcarlson @jcenters @adamengst It?s true! You are.
@GlennF I think I’ve found my next Magazine pitch, then.
@jcenters PS: I never do the keynotes, so they’re all yours.
- Shawn King:
Oh goodie. Another asshat from 9to5Mac is now following me on Twitter. Can’t wait for this one to get butthurt too.
@ShawnKing That shouldn’t take long.
- Shawn King:
@jeffporten Oh, not at all.
- Dan Frakes:
The 2014 CES Innovations Design and Engineering Awards have been announced. They’re as meaningless as ever?ignore them.
@DanFrakes Ironically, I get so much email from CEA that I’m likely to miss things I’d actually read.
- Glenn Fleishman:
I wrote a fully interactive terminal screen-based hypertext browser in a C class in 1989 without no idea it would be interesting to others.
@GlennF I had a clone of Twitter running on my startup website for subscribers in 1999. Likewise, didn’t see the general appeal.
I take issue @TidBITS with the New York Times? belief that Apple wants to brick your old iPhone: http://tidbits.com/article/14247

TextExpander: “Enable access for assistive devices” before using…OK….HOW….cc @smile….
@ShawnKing @smile it’s been moved to the security and privacy settings.
- Shawn King:
@jeffporten Can you fix my Magic Mouse issues, oh Wise One? :)
@ShawnKing try scaring the bejesus out of it with a CueCat?
- Shawn King:
@jeffporten DAMMIT! I knew I should have kept one of those….
- Kevin van Haaren:
@BadAstronomer question that popped in my head recently: can 2 black holes collide? If so, what happens?
@kvanh one BIG black hole, lots of high-energy radiation.
- Mary Thengvall:
out late=less sleep, but definitely worth it. great laughs, drinks, & convos w/ @SoberBuildEng @dberkholz @bridgetkromhout &c. #velocityconf
@mary_grace Didn’t know you were here. Find me at lunch tomorrow.
- Mary Thengvall:
@jeffporten i actually have a lunch mtg, or else i would! i’ll keep an eye out for you tho! i have Ember with me, so i’m easy to spot.
- Shawn King:
Sitting in a CANADIAN pub watching HOCKEY and guy next to me is drinking RED WINE….WTF!? Must be an American…:)
@ShawnKing it’s the blood of the losing team.

Endorse. RT @jimantle: Idea: Open steak/burger joint next to Tortilla Coast called Ray’s the Debt Ceiling.
