@harrymccracken I watched it on a docked boat on a black and white TV, which turned out not to matter. Maybe the most amazing thing I’ve ever seen. — PolitiTweet.org

@TechAltar You will notice that in your own chart it shows that, in Q4 of last year, Apple sold nearly 82 million. — PolitiTweet.org

@TechAltar No. Your guess is wrong. — PolitiTweet.org

While we’re all excited by billionaires grazing the edge of space, it’s worth noting that today is the 52nd anniversary of the first manned moon landing. (h/t @classicURGE for reminding me.) https://t.co/tqKKh9mEq8 — PolitiTweet.org

Walt Mossberg @waltmossberg

@classicURGE Thanks for noting that. — PolitiTweet.org

@TechAltar 100m units a year is not “huge scale”. Apple has sold 50+ million in a single quarter. And it isn’t all about U.S. rules. When I interviewed the #2 guy at Xiaomi he said they didn’t want to sell in the U.S. because it was “too competitive” and marketing costs were too high. — PolitiTweet.org

Private space flight is a good thing that will only get better. But let’s not get carried away with the Branson and Bezos flights. They barely touched the edge of space and turned around. Astronaut Alan Shepard, the 1st American in space, did the same thing in May, 1961! https://t.co/1XPCoPl6SC — PolitiTweet.org

@Marijn1400 @BioGraphica1 @jonfortt But, unless something has changed, not in their main market, China. For years, they’ve made versions for sales outside of China with the Google suite. I was once in China testing a Xiaomi phone. It had no Google apps until the minute I crossed into Hong Kong, when they appeared. — PolitiTweet.org

According to this @nytimes chart, in every major city on the East Coast summer temps have risen enough in the last 50 years to match, nearly match, or exceed average temps in the next most southern city. A dramatic demonstration of climate change. Similar in parts of the West. https://t.co/WAslultx72 — PolitiTweet.org

@mikeangiulo True, but I’m talking about handsets. And I’m talking truly global. — PolitiTweet.org

Walt Mossberg @waltmossberg

@BioGraphica1 @jonfortt This was true long before the recent major China-US trade wars. — PolitiTweet.org

Walt Mossberg @waltmossberg

@BioGraphica1 @jonfortt Not with the Google suite of apps and it’s main sales are in its home market. It’s not truly global. Hardly sells in North America, unlike Samsung. — PolitiTweet.org

Walt Mossberg @waltmossberg

One of the great tech puzzles: why, out of the zillion handset makers in the Android ecosystem, is there just one - Samsung - that’s profitable, uses Google’s suite of apps, sells a lot, and has a truly global presence. In 2008, when the Android phone launched, I expected more. https://t.co/24TeF8H6oH — PolitiTweet.org

Can’t wait til November when the great Peter Jackson unveils his major new @thebeatles documentary #GetBack, drawn from 56 hours of never-before-seen footage, and showing a much different angle on the band during the making of “Let It Be” than most accounts portray. https://t.co/9FcZ1XVMJB — PolitiTweet.org

The Eagles, who were born out of Linda Ronstadt’s backup band with her help, lobbied to get her inducted into the Rock ‘n Roll Hall of Fame. Five top female singers volunteered to sing some her greatest hits. It was wonderful. https://t.co/wzMQ0e8Fpo — PolitiTweet.org
