• Jeff Carlson:
    And I would bet that there’s something to every rumor. Apple has the ability to tinker. But most important: patience.
  • Josh Centers:
    Oh I’m sure there’s a TV and a watch in Ive’s lab. Doesn’t mean they’re real products or good ideas.
  • Jeff Carlson:
    Absolutely. And probably enough of an outline to execute quickly if absolutely necessary. See: iPod development.
  • Glenn Fleishman:
    I look at where the money is. TV is a crap business. Watches aren’t that great, really. Why get into either space
  • Jeff Carlson:
    TV is a crap business. But Living Room has potential. Except: Are people still consuming in a centralized room?

Is there a pref or defaults setting to make TextEdit open a new doc when launched, instead of the iCloud splash?

  • Geoff Duncan:
    I think the only way to have TextEdit open w/new doc instead of iCloud is turning off “Documents & Data” in iCloud system prefs.

Or by making a TextEdit launch application with AppleScript, I suppose.

Just set a new personal record for “speed at which I lose the rubber earbud from newly purchased headphones.”

  • Peter Cohen:
    How many cups of tea can I consume in a single day before I need to admit that I have a problem?

Until your next prostate exam reveals the East India Tea Company logo.

  • Glenn Fleishman:
    Just about six years ago, my younger son, Rex, was born. I remember his birth vividly. One of the best days of my life—and his!
  • Nick Barnard:
    as a former baby myself I dispute that my birthday was a great day. It was nice and warm in there and I got involuntarily evicted.
  • Glenn Fleishman:
    ~ Nurse said of my #1, a long birth, “He’s just renting, but he thinks he *owns* the place.”

I was preemie, so I guess I received one hell of an eviction notice.

I was really unaware how much the Washington Monument, while under construction, resembles an albino horse penis.

  • David Chartier:
    Keep hearing Facebook absolutely needs a mobile OS, but never an explanation why. Do advertisers really care about… my brightness setting?

my theory: important because Facebook is the new AOL circa 1997. A safer Internet subset. I’m percolating a blog post on this.

  • Roger Ebert:
    CHAZ HERE: Roger gave me instructions to tweet for him. I wonder if he knew something we didn’t know. (Tears)

It is a pleasure to see him back in my Twitter feed. Please keep it up, and my condolences for your (and our) loss.

    My weather app is saying ‘Light Rain’ wind up to 16MPH, the new High Wind Weather Advisory is saying wind up to 59MPH, small difference.

if you’re using Dark Sky, it’s predicting for your immediate vicinity. Alerts cover more territory.

  • Josh Centers:
    So now that the mainstream media knows about Bitcoin, how long until it’s outlawed?

Outlawed is probably impossible. But a rigorous attempt to collect sales tax on transactions could screw things up.

  • Josh Centers:
    They don’t even have to do that. Just ban US Bitcoin transactions, citing terrorism and drug trade. Wouldn’t be far off.

I doubt they can ban Bitcoins. It interferes too much with contract law, since the transaction is barter for consideration.

  • Chris Breen:
    Hmm, battle of wits between Kirk Cameron and Stephen Hawking. Hope the bill also features Jon Stewart vs Kobe Bryant dunking matchup.
