Grandparents use a tablet to play games, kids use a projected display. It’s either a heartwarming future of remote play or a technical support nightmare. Or both. — PolitiTweet.org

Getting this. Anything to forestall the almost inevitable Android-or-Tizen-tablet-embedded-in-an-appliance future that would otherwise come for me. If I can replace both the Sonos and the iPad in the kitchen, I’m doing it. Hope it’s good! — PolitiTweet.org

Overdue! Very surprised it took Amazon this long. — PolitiTweet.org

One thing that I want to call out AGAIN is that ithe fact that Apple doesn’t support multiple users on the iPad has transcended the ridiculous and entered the realm of user hostility. It’s punitive. It’s dumb. It will affect every iPad review score until it’s fixed. — PolitiTweet.org

@AhmerAbbas_ @verge heh uh if you know when it’s getting released please tell me. — PolitiTweet.org

Dieter Bohn @backlon

Today is a very busy day in tech news. Both Amazon’s Gadgetpalooza and #CodeCon are happening. Alexa vs TechnoKing Elon Musk. Two will enter, both will be fine. — PolitiTweet.org

Wahey! Here is my iPad Mini review. I really like it and am glad I bought one — but as is often the case with small computers, my strong recommendation is you think about what you’d use it FOR, because the answers aren’t the same as big iPads or phones. https://t.co/IirodTRiXN — PolitiTweet.org

There are multple, nested levels of shade in that quote! — PolitiTweet.org

Nadella on devleoper complaints about the Apple App Store hearkens back to a lesson he learned from 90s Microsoft: "when there’s a lot of people complaiing about something you’re doing, there must be something you’re doing that’s bothering people that you should reflect on." — PolitiTweet.org

Dieter Bohn @backlon

Nadella: "TikTok came to us, we didn't come to TikTok ... But I was kind of intrigued by it. And then I guess the rest is history." And much laughter. — PolitiTweet.org

That TikTok drama? Nadella says "It's the strangest thing I've ever sort of worked on." — PolitiTweet.org

@karaswisher Nadella jokes "What is Discord?" as he's pushed on why he tried to acquire that company. — PolitiTweet.org

Dieter Bohn @backlon

@karaswisher Nadella's acquisition philosophy: "The primary thing I ask myself is will we be able to create the platform for that entity to thrive? In other words, are you a better owner?" — PolitiTweet.org

Dieter Bohn @backlon

@karaswisher asks what those mistaken envies were. Nadella suggests it was being envious of closed platforms. "Let's get back to what Windows is fantastic at, at being an open platform." — PolitiTweet.org

Dieter Bohn @backlon

Nadella: "Microsoft was doing a lot of things out of envy, not ... things that we were meant to do." Pretty clearly about phones there, I think. — PolitiTweet.org

Dieter Bohn @backlon

Nadella ruminates on what it's like to be a non-founder CEO and "re-founding" a company. "As a CEO I think the mistake you can make is it's all about cult of personality, that it's about you." — PolitiTweet.org

My colleague @alexeheath asks if Netflix will put a subscribe link in its iOS app after the Epic v. Apple decision. Sarandos: “It’s hard to say. … We’ll see how it continues to play out. … Ramifications for anyone who runs a business on the App Store." — PolitiTweet.org

Dieter Bohn @backlon

Sarandos on games in Netflix. Has a beta in Poland. “Games are this evolution of world building and storytelling,” and he thinks it’s a natural fit for Netflix. Still experimenting, focused on mobile, will “for sure be part of our subscription” but no eta for the US — PolitiTweet.org

“The only thing worse than a list of a million titles is a list of 10 million titles.” Sarandos, pushing the recommendation engines, says “Netflix recommends better than your friends.” #codecon — PolitiTweet.org

Dieter Bohn @backlon

“The notion of reverse engineering storytelling [from data] is a disaster,” says Sarandos. #CodeCon We’re talking about “overall deals,” now, where Netflix does more traditional Hollywood deals with big names. — PolitiTweet.org

“For a subscription business, engagement really matters.” — PolitiTweet.org
