I like tweetdeck on the touch so it was a no brainer to get it on the iPad. Except it sucks a little. The one thing it doesn’t when it updates is show the little red icon that let me know how many tweets came in, which in turn let me know how much I had to scroll down by. So I’m re-reading more tweets than i need to.
The other thing it does is that when you tap the “view in safari” button, you have to quit safari and relaunch tweetdeck.
Bottom line is that it’s still easier to read tweets on the touch/iPhone than it is on the iPad.

My first blog on an iPad.
Futureshop was sold out of every model except for the 64gb 3G model. Hopped over to Best Buy and they had a few of the lower end models but still plenty of the 64gb 3g’s. This leads me to believe that those are still priced a bit too high. Definitely a premium product.
I’ve only spent an hour total on it so far, but it’s the future…

I can see now why apple didn’t want opera mini in the app store. It’s light years ahead of safari on the iPhone.
Speed dial, tabbed browsing being the two biggest features. I’ll probably never use safari again on my touch.

So the lost “writers” painted themselves so thoroughly in a corner that they decided to pull a Dallas. But they went one better instead of just one season they did all six.
Really? Guys you had nothing else?
What about turning everyone into black smoke that cleverly comes out of Locke’s ass?

if you’re a tv executive and you’re scratching your head trying to figure out why nobody is watching tv anymore. here’s some ideas:
- 30 minutes of tv = 20 minutes of actual content
- you censor anything that looks like a movie
- the tard factor in your focus groups is very high
- you rely on ratings based on equipment a good percentage of your audience has no access to
- you cancel tv shows based on the last two points above
- the internet has better content
yeah, i’m a little bitter because one of my favourite shows got cancelled due to tv-executivism. Life on Mars. Great show probably didn’t appeal an audience who heard about the ’70’s on the internet and didn’t really know what it was.
other shows that were ahead of their time: “Nowhere Man” and “Profit”
the “big three” should take a look at Fox. These guys came out of nowhere didn’t follow traditional tv season schedules and made a name for themselves (the simpsons, x-files, south park). how many of YOUR shows have dialog that made it’s way into the popular lexicon?
…yeah, that’s what i thought.
