@susanthesquark Ugh. So sorry. — PolitiTweet.org

@hardaway You have me beat! I did my first independent startup at 66, though I partnered with a youthful woman of around 50. — PolitiTweet.org

@jamechristie @pierce It’s not a sliding scale of efficiency in the way ads steal private info and track us. It’s a binary change. For hundreds of years, there have been ads everywhere. But, it’s only in the last 20 years or so that they’ve been weaponized to spy on us online. — PolitiTweet.org

Walt Mossberg @waltmossberg

@pierce Agree. You should write about it. Often. It’s a big reason why I quit Facebook and Insta, and use @DuckDuckGo instead of Google for search. And it’s a huge argument for the Apple ecosystem, which is hardly perfect, but doesn’t depend on the advertising/surveillance complex. — PolitiTweet.org

Walt Mossberg @waltmossberg

@pierce There’s nothing wrong with advertising per se. But the ad tech/surveillance industry, created online, is the poison that has led to almost every digital outrage against consumers, our society and our privacy. It must be stopped. There are other business models. — PolitiTweet.org

@DrJohn1 @JoannaStern @allthingsd The current ones are pretty damned good. But thanks. — PolitiTweet.org

@MrSilva @allthingsd It was a pretty sweet deal for NLP too. — PolitiTweet.org

@philipberne I don’t care much about stock prices, but the context here is damning. Multiple failures in multiple ways in units that are typically carefully chosen to make the best impression on reviewers. And a history of touted features that didn’t work right - oh, and exploding batteries. — PolitiTweet.org

2/ A much more important example of flourishing after 40: Steve Jobs, after a dozen years of business failure, launched the iMac at 43, the iPod at 46, the iPhone at 52, and the iPad at 55. Yes, he did historic things in his 20’s and 30’s, but the biggest successes came later. — PolitiTweet.org

Walt Mossberg @waltmossberg

1/ I’m a firm believer that your 40s and 50s can be the decades in which your career flourishes. I started my tech column at age 44. I co-founded the @allthingsd conferences when I was 56. I wasn’t a failure before that, just not especially entrepreneurial, or nationally known. — PolitiTweet.org

Walt Mossberg @waltmossberg

@markb Ha! Thx. — PolitiTweet.org

Walt Mossberg @waltmossberg

@dror_sharon @qhardy I have no sympathy for a huge, historically corrupt conglomerate (check their criminal history in Korea), with a rich history of rushing features and designs to market too early and without proper quality assurance (burning batteries). — PolitiTweet.org

@JoannaStern Really weak. — PolitiTweet.org

Four reviewers! Not three! I love big tech advances, like the *idea* of a foldable phone. But, ideas and everyday usable products are different things. — PolitiTweet.org

Walt Mossberg @waltmossberg

This is incredible. Three separate specimens of a $2000 product breaks within days of being sent to three different reviewers - in three different ways. No matter what happens with replacement units, nor what the explanation, why would you have confidence in the product? — PolitiTweet.org

Yes, this is is an iPhone ad, posted by a top @Apple exec. Yes, it notes that “additional hardware and software was used”. But it’s absolutely gorgeous and I’m amazed it was shot on a phone. Don’t watch it to love or hate the iPhone. Watch it to enjoy the beauty of nature. — PolitiTweet.org

I’ve worn a lot of badges. But I’m especially proud of this one I’m wearing today at the quarterly board meeting of the @NewsLitProject. Thanks to Bloomberg for lending us a great venue in D.C. https://t.co/iQrkSVZGtS — PolitiTweet.org

@gavinpurcell @Recode @karaswisher Her driving, and running commentary on other drivers, is so “dramatic” that you want to buckle up even if you’re just on the phone with her when she’s driving. — PolitiTweet.org

@ahess247 Is this shot from your luxury box at Yankee Stadium? — PolitiTweet.org

Walt Mossberg @waltmossberg

@katzish Because there’s too much navel-gazing, & too little action to enforce standards of civility. If @jack wants “healthy dialogue”, he needs to do much better at curating the hoaxes, conspiracy theories, hate speech and abuse right off his platform. Instead of trying to reinvent it. — PolitiTweet.org

@ahess247 I believe your autocorrect meant rout, not route. — PolitiTweet.org
