You don’t understand: I am this close to having an anxiety attack over being forced to use one of those Twitter clients I don’t like.

# 2013-02-28 22:13:11 – via Twitter

Want to try Twitter clients, get “Twitter is over capacity” when I try to authorize. Can’t we just all give up on that platform today? Do we really have to wait and attend to its death throes, can't we just decide it's done already?

FYI, the second point is that you can finally search for your Facebook and Twitter friends on Myspace. (Not that I could find any.)

How sad is it that the “Discover more of New Myspace” email opens with “Share GIFs” as the first of its three points?

# 2013-02-28 00:40:55 – via Twitter

Why do we lose all the best Twitter clients? Echofon Mac, Twitter iPad… is the platform hexed?

Oh, wait, Twitter deliberately killed both.

I find Tweetbot Mac’s menubar item a lot more convenient for navigating the app than the sidebar buttons. That’s a clear sign of UX trouble.

# 2013-02-28 00:01:43 – via Twitter

I was feeling sorry for @tweetbot Mac that I was using ten API tokens for one purchase, but now I'm annoyed instead cuz the UI breaks down.

It was unavoidable, but I'm disappointed that Carrie Diaries chooses to be "Young S&tC" instead of an honest depiction of young Bradshaw. Carrie's first job at 16 wasn't for Interview. Carrie's first best friends weren't two smart, caring girls she never saw again in NYC. (Or do they both get killed in the series finale?)

I could bite the bullet and join them just so I can proceed, but what's the point if there's gonna be bugs like that all along the way?

# 2013-02-22 03:23:05 – via Twitter

And now I'm completely stuck in the main quest because of a bug, unless I join the Empire, which, ew.

Oh, that's awesome, I'm at the quest where Skyrim crashes if you try to save your progress.

No idea why I'm still playing this thing.

It takes a certain kind of Jonathan Blow to use one's appearance at a console reveal to trash-talk every other game ever.

I'm both surprised and pleased that Sony's emphasizing gaming so much — when Microsoft is likely to ruin the Xbox with Windows 8 synergy.

# 2013-02-21 02:00:27 – via Twitter

I must say turning the PS4 into not just a Gaikai client, but also a server, is a genius stroke. (Though not for my countryside DSL.)

# 2013-02-21 01:37:59 – via Twitter

Does it sound to anyone else like Sony learned from its failures and decided to let the American branch design the PS4?

# 2013-02-21 01:30:17 – via Twitter

Every few months I rediscover that Skyrim is just not particularly fun to play.

As much as I loathe every choice that movie made, Marius and Eponine prove that live recording in itself was not the horrible idea I thought it was. Provided you hire singers.

So Les Misérables isn't just a crime against music, the filmmaking is also insufferable. What's with the hand-held Dutch extreme closeups?

But then, why would you fire Community's showrunner if you weren't gonna transform it into a lame sitcom that takes its jokes at face value?

Pretty sure that Community premiere would have felt lame even without the added scrutiny.

“Apple Needs Big iPhone To ’Regain Its Mojo,’ Analyst Says”

I don’t like to quote analysts (and I don’t like to link to Forbes blogs), but this is an excellent point:

More importantly, we believe AAPL needs to reclaim high-end leadership as that is what its brand is about.

It was okay for Apple not to have a 7-inch tablet because that segment was mostly defined by cheapness until they entered it. It’s okay for Apple’s laptop line to start at $999 because the only advantage competitors have is price — and unprofitable margins.

But there are people out there not buying iPhones (either holding off on their purchase, or moving to Android altogether) because they want a higher-end device, a potentially more expensive device, than anything Apple is willing to offer. That’s just wrong.

(Okay, the Mac Pro hasn’t been a worthy purchase in years, but I don’t think its potential market compares to that of 5-inch smartphones.)

Wondering if it's a failing of Letterpress that the player starting the game is much more likely to win, or it's just plain unavoidable.
