RT @jeff148apps: Worst PR contact of the week: "I e-mailed you last week because I was wondering if you reviewed iPhone games.". (Duuuuuh)
@FakeBuscemi I think people like cats because they are such a great judge of character. I'd have chewed your foot off too ;-)
Facebook iPhone Dev Quits Project Over Apple Tyranny http://www.techcrunch.com/2009... We'll miss you Joe - thanks for Three20!
Google snuck a "Quick View" link on its PDF search results. I only just noticed. That'll help my downloads folder lighter. Thanks, the goog!
PinchMedia's great analysis of paid vs. free apps, developer revenues, etc. Average? $8,500! http://www.pinchmedia.com/blog...
#macheist site down with the title "Heavy Traffic". Right when the countdown ended! Me, I don't even know what the original apps were. Sigh.
Trucid claimed to have developed ConvertBot and BillMinder - busted by the actual authors :-) http://arstechnica.com/apple...
App Store's Top Rakings borked - random apps on top. Some developers have all the luck ;-) http://www.tuaw.com/2009...
Congrats to Steve Jobs, now Fortune's CEO of the Decade! Here's a lovely little retrospective: http://money.cnn.com/2009...
@uFreelance Kinda surprised to see a link to a scammy IQ quiz site coming from you! Did you sign up for "membership" by giving your cell #?
Apple rejects an app (an iPhone reference ebook) for the word "iPhone". http://www.engadget.com/2009... Really? NO exceptions?
@balanon Out of curiousity, what was the bug?
"The iPhone App Store Approval Line is Doomed" http://www.bit-101.com/blog... Guess the waits just get longer from here...

@OslerdoesEM What do you mean by "White Label"? Are your apps in the App Store?
@xanderprod Thanks, Alex - I'll give it a go! Think I'll probably buy a Magic, but it'd be nice to keep Mighty for my old Powerbook.
Mighty Mouse scroll ball stopped going down months ago. Third one. Now I'm glad I procrastinated, but will I ♥ Magic Mouse?
@skorecky Excellent tip - I will totally try that on my Mighty Mouse! But my technolust will not be denied! Mighty moves to old PowerBook.
@CMoz Hopefully not me! I just don't know anyone who's actually used one yet.
Latest App Store numbers: 92,818 (live) and 101,475 (approved): http://justanotheriphoneblog.com/wordpre... It _is_ kinda numbing by now.

@iStones I totally agree! Just don't like shouting in my feed, even if I agree with what you are shouting about. No arguing taste ;-)
@iStones I'll take a stand against PEOPLE WHO YELL ABOUT POLITICS ON TWITTER. You are now officially unfollowed!
