Hello USRobotics still exists and this 56k modem is still for sale, unchanged in design since I had one in like 1997 https://t.co/xIDZv1tqGx https://t.co/xDFeeOAKCD — PolitiTweet.org

Wrote this two years ago but it feels like the current App Store fights have made this question more central than ever https://t.co/M3RBZVB7LC — PolitiTweet.org

Proud of Sony Pictures CEO Tony Vinciquerra for obviously using a Sony mirrorless camera through Imaging Edge for his CNBC Zoom appearance rn — PolitiTweet.org

@pierce I'm going to need it to be $6.50 to account for the app store fee — PolitiTweet.org

Also importantly I am visiting my parents next week and my mom isn't going to let me in the house with this beard (and Becky is also over it) so... pour one out — PolitiTweet.org

I'm on CNBC @CNBCTechCheck at 11am ET to talk about app stores and antitrust. It's going to be emotional — PolitiTweet.org

@jimprosser @nataliekerris Maybe accelerate / brake / wheel but even turning the headlights and wipers on varies widely from car to car. Let alone the radio and so on. I dunno! — PolitiTweet.org

nilay patel @reckless

@nataliekerris @jimprosser Hm but carmakers differentiate where they can. In software it’s like pixel level copying lately - that’s what I’m trying to understand. Maybe it is that simple though — PolitiTweet.org

@OneMoreDrank This explains why Apple never lifts ideas from any other apps or platforms — PolitiTweet.org

nilay patel @reckless

@panzer The problem here is that there is so much Apple design corrupted by obviously merciless business decisions at this point — PolitiTweet.org

There are probably better ways to make a camera UI, but if I have to get you to quit iMessage or whatever, I might as well make switching camera apps really really easy along the way. (I’m not convinced of this but i could be. I think.) — PolitiTweet.org

Here’s a muddle of an idea I’m still working through: it makes sense that other device makers copy iOS so shamelessly? It’s hard to move apps, messaging, data between platforms the copying is the only real way to reduce switching costs, and it’s not that Apple made the best way — PolitiTweet.org

@Jason @CaseyNewton @NotionHQ @vox_union I’m just trying to get you in the mystery tier where all the cool kids are mixing it up already! — PolitiTweet.org

This is the same basic ethical position we've had since the Sony hack in 2014; this excellent piece from Emily Yoshida remains our internal benchmark. And of course the entire media industry has long reckoned with the DNC hacks in 2016. https://t.co/D2D8lyW2n1 — PolitiTweet.org

Apple and its supplier Quanta were targeted in a major ransomware attack that resulted in the leak of upcoming products. Reporting on leaks from hacks is ethically fraught; this time we've chosen not to report on the documents directly. https://t.co/uKVEAsAedY — PolitiTweet.org
