Check out #30 down in today’s @latimes crossword, which is syndicated in the @washingtonpost and elsewhere. The puzzle was composed by my son Steve, who has a side gig as a crossword constructor. I had nothing to do with it. @karaswisher @MossDef https://t.co/hLk0htjdSF — PolitiTweet.org

@BryFitz But how could she tolerate the prequels? — PolitiTweet.org

@KarenSMB44 @WSJ @BryFitz Thanks, Karen. That was my goal. — PolitiTweet.org

@chuz2k @sazary_ @jack It’d be easy to allow editing while keeping original version for reference. — PolitiTweet.org

Walt Mossberg @waltmossberg

@rvndrsingh @WSJ @BryFitz That’s what they were saying. They hadn’t coined the name “iOS” yet. And it was indeed a version of OS X , especially in the early days. — PolitiTweet.org

Walt Mossberg @waltmossberg

@sazary_ Obviously, I meant iPhone, not iPad. Tweets but editable. When, @jack, when? — PolitiTweet.org

Here’s the web version of this Steve Jobs interview, from the @allthingsd archives: https://t.co/cQg1E16t5D — PolitiTweet.org

Here’s a short interview I did with Steve Jobs the week the first iPhone went on sale. It ran in the print WSJ next to our review of the phone. https://t.co/bX4LG5tFkR — PolitiTweet.org

Walt Mossberg @waltmossberg

For those who asked, here’s the rest of our print @WSJ review of the original iPad, including a short interview I did that week with Steve Jobs. It’s hard to read because it’s a PDF of a large page, but here you go. (h/t @BryFitz) https://t.co/jh3yN7nSzj — PolitiTweet.org

@KatieBoehret Excellent analysis, as always. — PolitiTweet.org

@Lin_Manuel @Phillipasoo I’ve already watched this 4 times. Incredible! And I’ve seen the show on stage. — PolitiTweet.org

@marinaepelman @WSJ @Apple @KatieBoehret @pschiller Of course! It was the true test of the phone’s usefulness! — PolitiTweet.org

Walt Mossberg @waltmossberg

@PatrickWRowe25 Because AT&T was the only cell carrier willing to leave the design and engineering alone and give Apple complete control. (In those days, carriers had immense power over the actual design of phones). In return for that concession, Apple agreed to make AT&T the exclusive carrier. — PolitiTweet.org

Walt Mossberg @waltmossberg

@Ambassadorial No. Watch Steve Jobs introduce it. He was very clear that he considered it only 1/3 a phone. https://t.co/WCTLJWr5vs — PolitiTweet.org

@frederickysc @WSJ @Apple @KatieBoehret I don’t have a photo of the whole print review. @KatieBoehret is the one who took this photo of the first part, so she may have it. The whole web review is here: https://t.co/OwlKkSJYrF — PolitiTweet.org

Walt Mossberg @waltmossberg

2/ We declared that very first iPhone “a beautiful and breakthrough handheld computer” and far better than previous devices which called themselves “smart phones”. The major downside: its exclusive tie to AT&T’s pokey cellular network. — PolitiTweet.org

Walt Mossberg @waltmossberg

1/ Thirteen years ago today - 6/29/2007 - the 1st iPhone went on sale. It seems like it’s been around even longer. The @WSJ knew it was a big deal and gave major play to my 6/27 review - one of the first few made possible by @Apple - written with my colleague @KatieBoehret. https://t.co/uAslTcf3uW — PolitiTweet.org

@farhip Just to be clear: I’m proud of modern Maryland and chose to live here. I agree other state flags could be better. But I can’t think of another that’s the banner of a single family from abroad in the 1600’s. It has nothing to do with the New World or the U.S. or the state itself. — PolitiTweet.org

Walt Mossberg @waltmossberg

@farhip IMO, as a MD resident, it’s the ugliest state flag in the country. And, even without the Civil War issues, I dislike having our state symbolized by the crest of a foreign family from the 17th century. That goes for the old version too. I’m for a new flag without the family crest. — PolitiTweet.org
