- Brett Kelly:
Now would be a great time to admit to some heinous wrongdoing, if you?ve been holding out…
- Stuart Millar:
@janinegibson @jeffporten @jamesrbuk @netfreedom I wish I could deny this
- Ryan Kelly:
1 pm needs to get here.
@ryankelly take bus to Atlantic City, walk to shore. The faster you swim….
- Mikko Hypponen ? ?:
Apple said on June 16th they can’t decrypt iMessage: http://www.apple.com/apples-commitment-to-customer-privacy/ ? Der Spiegel says that NSA apparently can: http://www.spiegel.de/international/world/a-920971.html ?
- Nicholas Weaver:
@mikko Article sounds like the NSA exploits iPhones through the iTunes host computer, which makes sense.
@NCWeaver @netfreedom @mikko Also that computers have to be individually targeted. That’s good news, at least.
- James Ball:
Here’s a screenshot of the weird, invisible, app that appeared on mine and @janinegibson‘s phones lately: pic.twitter.com/cFfRTMJkRI
@jamesrbuk @netfreedom @janinegibson How did you find that?
- Janine Gibson:
@jeffporten @jamesrbuk @netfreedom We were showing @stuartmillar159 how to delete apps to free up space. Oh yes, it’s all glamour…
@janinegibson @jamesrbuk @netfreedom Those “docs and data” might be visible from your backup. Buzz me if you want forensics help.
- Marcin de Kaminski:
@jeffporten @jamesrbuk @netfreedom @janinegibson @kwasbeb wtf. any reasonable explanation?
@dekaminski @jamesrbuk @netfreedom @janinegibson @kwasbeb could be a 3rd party app programmed poorly. But I’ve never heard of that.
@dekaminski @jamesrbuk @netfreedom @janinegibson @kwasbeb might be trying to save app prefs if app is deleted.
- Dozen Ton Brogrammer:
Now go ahead. Tell me again why women on the Internet need thicker skin.
@BrendanAdkins @GlennF Clearly, it’s the women’s fault for not discovering the secret of immortality before incurring death threats.
- Glenn Fleishman:
@jeffporten @BrendanAdkins I see this all the time. I?ve never gotten a threat really of any kind talking about abortion, sexism, etc.
- Glenn Fleishman:
@jeffporten @BrendanAdkins And every women I know who has an outspoken view does, constantly.
@GlennF @BrendanAdkins probably because they don’t realize you’re Jewish.
- Glenn Fleishman:
@jeffporten @BrendanAdkins I have gotten a very small # of anti-Semitic taunts.
@GlennF @BrendanAdkins so women get death threats and Jews don’t? Wow. What a century.
- Andrew Laurence:
Yeah you with the hour-plus phone calls and doorway conversations, I’m playing Jimmy Buffet. Motherfucking deal with it.
@atlauren I always thought that Jimmy Buffett was supposed to chill you out.
- Andrew Laurence:
@jeffporten The margarita pours later.
@atlauren in the meantime, have a cheeseburger.
I was not fast enough to take a picture of the JeffSTAT ambulance, dammit. #fb
My father would have sold me to Satan to get the customer base this Starbucks has. #fb

Happiness is coffee in the morning and wine at night. http://psychcentral.com/news/2013/08/30/small-amounts-of-wine-might-help-ward-off-depression/59083.html ?
@speno or an 18 hour morning
- John P. Speno:
@jeffporten sounds legit.
M&M snack mix bag: 5 servings. Or one breakfast. #fb
- Melody Joy Kramer:
I’m returning to @NPR as a digital strategist and associate editor. It’s a new position and I’m extremely excited to go back to #pubmedia.
@mkramer Fantastic! @npr is lucky to have you. Be sure to circulate your blog address; new one, yes?
- Melody Joy Kramer:
melodykramer@gmail.com / starting late september mkramer@npr.org #bestthingallweek
@mkramer Are you taking off for a few weeks, or finishing up at NatGeo? A vacation is too often overlooked.
- Matt Cutts:
I just read a blog post so stupid that I had to mock it for 20 minutes. It was a denial-of-service attack on my brain.
Three things that continue to remain jaw-dropping even though I’m used to them: LTE speed, SSD reads, and Retina displays. #fb
Ben Franklin: “A penny saved is a penny earned, but $3 for a Coke at my Institute is blasphemy.” #fb
I suppose it’s not surprising that the Franklin Institute has the fastest public wifi I’ve ever seen.
- Andrew Laurence:
@jeffporten I was truly impressed at the Wifi coverage and QoS at San Diego’s PetCo park. Best I’ve seen at a public venue.
- Brian Felsen:
I’ve 3 panels in consideration 4 next year’s SXSW! Pls vote: http://panelpicker.sxsw.com/vote/22301 http://panelpicker.sxsw.com/vote/21340 http://panelpicker.sxsw.com/vote/21233 @cdbaby
@brianfelsen I’ve been trying to get press credentials for SXSW for years. Drop me a line if you know someone.
@brianfelsen Do you have a conference on your schedule that replaces Tools of Change?
- Andre Torrez:
Reading Paul Ford makes me want to be better at everything https://medium.com/fords-sensorium/6e9e1a7578d1 ?
- Anil Dash:
@torrez yeah, I hate that guy.
- Glenn Fleishman:
@anildash @torrez The important thing to understand about Jeff Bezos is that he founded Amazon to afford going into space.
@GlennF Step 1: Found Amazon. Step 2: ??? Step 3: PROFIT!
- Kevin van Haaren:
Ohhh, another good bs rumor: Ballmer resigning to take over for (Big) Bob Mansfield.
@kvanh I’d consider it more likely that he’s resigning to take over for Bradley Manning.
- Glenn Fleishman:
Politicians require that we forget our humanity in order to live our lives. We forget Chinese workers, Gitmo prisoners, and on and on.
@GlennF That’s not politics, that’s our belief that if you do it to make money, it’s allowed. Gitmo is only exception.
