@dogwalkblog Windows Phone was pretty good. It had potential. It could have been a contender. Windows Mobile, IMO, was awful. They are two different things. — PolitiTweet.org

@rupertg The post-iPhone version. The one that actually launched. No point discussing something that was under development but never launched. — PolitiTweet.org

Walt Mossberg @waltmossberg

As someone who reviewed Windows Mobile (vs the later Windows Phone) in the pre-iPhone days, I can say it was terrible, much more primitive than Android. I can’t imagine that it would have beaten Android. Windows Phone might have, but it was years late. https://t.co/RD0a0fAQqz — PolitiTweet.org

And it’s not like this is some great advance in passenger comfort. The first 737 flew in *1968* - 51 years ago. It was designed as a narrow, small plane for short hops. But Boeing has made longer and longer versions that cram in more and more people and fly much longer routes. — PolitiTweet.org

I personally am in the category of avoiding that plane for at least a couple of years, and maybe longer. — PolitiTweet.org

In my unscientific Twitter poll of user attitudes towards flying on the Boeing 737 Max once its airborne again, a whopping 62% of respondents either said they’d never fly on it or that they’d wait a year or two. Only 24% said they’d fly on the plane if “they say it’s OK”. https://t.co/xZD8fqj5mN — PolitiTweet.org

@alansmurray Lori is a terrific choice! Congrats! — PolitiTweet.org

Congrats, @Bankoff and everyone now at the new @voxmediainc - especially folks the former New York Media - on the completion of this merger of strong journalistic teams. Nice new logo too. — PolitiTweet.org

@statesdj You certain of that? What’s your source? And, if it’s undeniably true, do other planes use such old CPU technology? — PolitiTweet.org

Most fliers don’t pay attention to what kind of aircraft is being used on their flight. But, if and when the Boeing 737 Max starts flying again, would you fly in it? Even if the airline renamed it? — PolitiTweet.org

@stevesi The fact that a lot of this isn’t obvious is why we need news literacy education. And more transparency from *quality* news organizations about the standards they use or to which they aspire. — PolitiTweet.org

@AcadianaAggie Jim, I know very little about satellite TV. All I would say is Apple TV+ has a limited offering and satellite, if you’re talking about something like DirecTV, is like cable, with a wide and deep selection. Even after Apple rolls out all its shows, it will be fairly small. — PolitiTweet.org

@adidjo I suspect it goes back to our War of Independence. — PolitiTweet.org

Walt Mossberg @waltmossberg

As others predicted, I’m really liking the 2nd Apple show I tried, “For All Mankind”. It’s not science fiction. At least through 3 episodes, it’s an engaging drama about how history might have been different, how the U.S. fights from behind. Mixes real people/events with fiction. https://t.co/xVH3rCHE83 — PolitiTweet.org

So you’re scrolling along in Twitter,pausing to read something, when all of a sudden your feed stutters and resets and you’re yanked backwards to a place you’ve already been, unable to easily find where you were. This can’t be good for Twitter. Is it a Twitter bug or an iOS bug? — PolitiTweet.org

Walt Mossberg @waltmossberg

True. 👇 — PolitiTweet.org
