I should also note that, while this may be our most famous interview, there were many other great ones, with tech leaders, media leaders, politicians, arts figures, and more. And they have continued since I retired, at the Code Conferences helmed by @karaswisher. — PolitiTweet.org

@coreydu @karaswisher @BillGates Hi, Corey. There are lots of great tech leaders today, including these guys’ successors. But it’s a hard comparison, because Gates and Jobs were both involved with the birth of the mass market PC in 1977 and were still running their companies 30 years later. That made it special. — PolitiTweet.org

@marinaepelman @karaswisher @BillGates Aw, thanks. — PolitiTweet.org

I must add that we could never have pulled off all these conferences every year without a brilliant staff; a superb group of speakers willing to be interviewed without rehearsal or receiving the questions in advance; and a fantastic family of attendees. — PolitiTweet.org

Walt Mossberg @waltmossberg

@ramkanda @karaswisher @BillGates I agree. Talk to @karaswisher. I’m retired now. — PolitiTweet.org

@archiecoder That’s impressive. You probably know that each of them made multiple other individual appearances, including both at our very first conference in 2003. And of of course we had all of their competitors as well over the years. — PolitiTweet.org

@rob1bouchet @BrianRoemmele @karaswisher @BillGates All of the Steve Jobs appearances are on Apple Podcasts in both video and audio. We did this as a memorial to him. Most others are on the old AllThingsD and current Recode sites, or YouTube. — PolitiTweet.org

@ProfessorShonku @karaswisher @BillGates All of the Steve Jobs appearances at the D Conferences, including the joint one with Bill Gates, are available as Apple Podcasts in both video and audio. https://t.co/nrtYTC4hP5 — PolitiTweet.org

For 15 years, I spent every Memorial Day weekend preparing for the D Conference and then the Code Conference, both created by me and ⁦@karaswisher⁩. This weekend always triggers conference memories, like this one from 2007, with Steve Jobs and ⁦@BillGates⁩. https://t.co/kp25xBqORr — PolitiTweet.org

And it saddens and alarms me to read about (a) how we’re not doing nearly enough for small businesses and the jobless and (b) how some people are crowding into newly opened areas without precautions. This will only cause the virus to peak again. — PolitiTweet.org

Thanks for all the good wishes. This tweet wasn’t a message that we’re sick or have been exposed or are at the end of our ropes emotionally. We’re fine. It’s just that, given our age, some prior conditions and the still-rising cases in our area, we’re being extra careful. — PolitiTweet.org

@Wolf_Trap is a national treasure, a gorgeous outdoor performing arts center and a national park. It’s in Virginia near DC and features everything from pop to classical to broadway. This decision had to be tough, but it’s responsible. — PolitiTweet.org

Day 78 of ultra-quarantine for my wife and me here in the suburbs of DC. It’s rainy, but we’re grateful for virtual contact with friends and family & online classes, socializing and meetings. (Ultra-quarantine means we only use delivery. No stores. We only go out for walks.) — PolitiTweet.org

@kvox If podcasting devolves into heavily monetized exclusives, we will lose a lot. Small podcasters will be sunk and consumers will e confused and will only listen to hits. Even the paid and ad supported giant music services have almost exactly the same catalogs. Why not podcasts? — PolitiTweet.org

Walt Mossberg @waltmossberg

@Apple blew a huge lead with Siri. I believe the problem was directly tied to the death of Steve Jobs. I believe he would have pushed it hard. I know he cared about it and was personally involved in the acquisition. In fairness, though, it has markedly improved - from a low bar. — PolitiTweet.org

Walt Mossberg @waltmossberg

@ElieFinegold @ChrisRising Oh, please don’t wait for me. I am going through it slowly. But I strongly believe it’s one of the best shows ever aired. The cool thing about Battlestar Galactica is that it’s not typical sci-fi. The real story is about saving the human race and deciding who’s human. — PolitiTweet.org

Walt Mossberg @waltmossberg

It’s especially relevant during the global crisis we currently face. — PolitiTweet.org

Walt Mossberg @waltmossberg

Man, the 2004 reboot of Battlestar Galactica was terrific TV. It’s a great thing to re-watch, or to watch for the first time, during quarantine. I’m enjoying it for the second time. It’s not a typical sci-fi show. It’s really a parable about humanity. Brilliant. https://t.co/Ex60bXeuq4 — PolitiTweet.org
