@jeffjarvis My wife had her Amazon account locked for some unknown reason. 2 weeks later, they re-opened it, no explanation. Customer service was told not to handle the issue. Can you imagine that happening you used it for medical care or pharmacy?
@marcoarment Overcast question: I have a podcast with ~950 back episodes I want to subscribe and listen from the first. Is there a way to manage a podcast like this, without getting bogged down in all the episodes?
@dpbrugler Do you think other teams will copy IU's approach to study/practice?
@hotdogsladies Bob Wills lived in my home town in Texas during WW2. A drinker, he made the mistake of crashing in my great aunt’s yard one Saturday night. She ran him off with a broom.
@samlitzinger If the sandwich had mayo, it was a crimes against humanity.

@siliconundergro I have a comment on the recent blog post about the PS/2 computers. You said that the VGA was around before, but I don't think that's correct.

I was the applications engineer for Inmos, the manufacturer of the graphics pallet chip that IBM used in the original VGA card. There weren't low cost analog monitors available, I had to use a high-end workstation monitor with the evaluation board I designed to demo for IBM.

@thomholwerda @gruber Noticed that, but it seems like the best time for a vacation, right after the big Apple announcement.

@cdevroe After watching Craig/Joz speak with Joanna Stern and Tom's, I decided that they skipped John to avoid a live audience. My opinion is they felt pressure to make a huge AI splash, then found out the tech won't work (I doubt it ever will, didn't sound like they think it will work). They should have started off by saying we failed to make it work, not telling us a sob story.

Siri is awful. I think they hit the iPadOS stuff out of the park, I'm happier with that than Siri upgrades.

@gruber @gruber Apple supposedly adding Markdown to Notes, Microsoft adding Markdown to Notepad, isn't it funny that no one in the media ever says where Markdown came from?
@tubetime My guess is a text terminal, vt100ish
