RT @kvox: @waltmossberg @Apple I often think about that iconic @Wired cover, "Pray." An Apple fan under, what, 40? might not understand it.… — PolitiTweet.org

@kvox @Apple @WIRED I wrote a sort of obituary for Apple for the @WSJ (at the request of the top editor) when it looked like it was going to be sold to Sun. The story ran, even though the deal never happened. — PolitiTweet.org

Obviously, these revenues could collapse in future quarters, as could the stock price, especially in this economy. But the gargantuan size @Apple has reached is astonishing to those of us who vividly remember how close it was to corporate death in the late 1990’s. — PolitiTweet.org

Just the most recently announced 90 days of iPhone revenues was roughly the same as a whole year of Starbucks revenues as listed in the 2020 Fortune ranking. — PolitiTweet.org

Walt Mossberg @waltmossberg

People are amazed by the huge jump in @Apple’s stock price. But, to me, the bigger indicator of its huge size is that the mere *quarterly* revenues of each of its 5 product categories is enough to place every one, by itself, on the Fortune 500, which is based on *annual* revs. https://t.co/4m5DCaSXv8 — PolitiTweet.org

MUST WATCH: Another brilliant @ProjectLincoln ad, this time on Trump’s threat to delay the election. This organization of anti-Trump Republicans consistently has better, tougher, more pointed ads than the Democrats. #Vote2020 #noexcuses — PolitiTweet.org

So we now have yet another gigantic emergency, in addition to the pandemic, the economic crash, and the racial justice reckoning. Trump may win, but if he loses and refuses to vacate the office, or tries to nix the election, it will be a catastrophe. — PolitiTweet.org

Walt Mossberg @waltmossberg

Trump suggests delaying the election. He can’t legally do this. But it is his Plan A. Plan B will be to refuse to acknowledge a loss and/or fight the result in court for months. If he loses indisputably, who will remove him physically on 1/20? We need a decisive result. VOTE! — PolitiTweet.org

@racheld There’s a long history of the oddball congressman who is poor or just super frugal, and chooses to live in their office when in DC. It used to be more common when congressional pay was very low and most members weren’t rich. A guy like this is depicted in The West Wing. — PolitiTweet.org

@reneritchie @karaswisher Thanks, Rene. By the way, they’ve all been interviewed on stage by both @karaswisher and me at our conferences over the years. Each more than once. — PolitiTweet.org

@CaseyNewton Ridiculous. It was about why we should build a wall, use more coal, never wear masks, and fly the confederate flag. — PolitiTweet.org

This remote hearing with big tech CEOs looks much worse in grid view than any Zoom meeting I’ve attended. Zuckerberg is a drawing. And what is the box at the upper left? Is this a flaw in @Webex?
