@vj_slipstream @Facebook @Apple If @Facebook institutes a fully transparent, totally honest, fully comprehensive plain English explanation of its tracking and collection of private information, and requires a clear opt-in by current and future users in order to use its service, that would seem to me to be fine. — PolitiTweet.org
Walt Mossberg @waltmossberg
@mferrini Because they, and the toxic ad-tech industry that funds them, don’t ask permission, don’t notify those they track, and prefer to operate in the dark. All Apple is doing is bringing it into the light and letting users choose. — PolitiTweet.org
Walt Mossberg @waltmossberg
Why is Facebook so afraid of this simple opt-in panel Apple will soon build into its devices for every app (not just Facebook)? If tracking people all over the web is harmless or beneficial, shouldn’t they be able to convince people to allow it? @Facebook @Apple https://t.co/0NKDAGCcWS — PolitiTweet.org

One of the greatest albums ever, Tapestry by @Carole_King , came out 50 years ago this week. It marked her arrival as a performer after a career as a songwriter. Practically every track is a classic. I have loved it and played it in every format since it arrived. #tapestry50 https://t.co/a4DQLo6XPj — PolitiTweet.org

57 years ago today, The Beatles debuted on the Ed Sullivan show. It was viewed on about 60% of the TVs in America, or around 73 million people (in a much smaller population of 192 million). Imagine such a big simultaneous audience for a live non-sports, non-news event now. https://t.co/UEGdEm5zvy — PolitiTweet.org

@authorjeff @mark_on_tech @NFL @Patriots I just started your book last night after tweeting my take on why Brady left. I’m really enjoying it so far. I had no idea it was out there. When was it released? — PolitiTweet.org

2/ (Note: this apparently counts Belichick’s pre-Patriot years in Cleveland without Brady. Source for all this is the Boston Globe awhile back.) — PolitiTweet.org
Walt Mossberg @waltmossberg
1/ In eight years without Brady as his quarterback, Belichick is 61-72 with one playoff appearance. With Brady, he was 219-64, went to nine Super Bowls, and copped the AFC East 17 times. In his three Patriot seasons without him, he is 22-25 with no playoffs. — PolitiTweet.org

@heidilegg @NFL @Patriots Thanks, Heidi. — PolitiTweet.org
Walt Mossberg @waltmossberg
@Bajarin @NFL @Patriots Bill Belichick has a long habit of getting rid of key players before he thinks they’re about to wear out. He tried to do that with Brady by bringing in Garopolo. Brady fought back and they traded Jimmy G. But Brady never forgot what he considered a betrayal. That’s my theory. — PolitiTweet.org
Walt Mossberg @waltmossberg
Tom Brady won the Super Bowl at age 43 by defeating the three other best QBs in the @NFL : Brees, Rodgers & Mahomes. With a new team, scheme & coach. He now has won more Super Bowls than any entire team. I remain a @Patriots fan, but they made a huge mistake in letting him go. https://t.co/1JEYRQXMuo — PolitiTweet.org

Tom Brady won his first Super Bowl on Feb. 3, 2002 at the age of 24 years and six months. How old were you on that date? — PolitiTweet.org
Walt Mossberg @waltmossberg
The U.S. arrival by the Beatles on this date in 1964 was a huge deal. Their appearance on the Ed Sullivan show two days later drew a record live viewership of 73 million, about 34% of the entire US population at the time. They changed the culture. https://t.co/z88geliH0a — PolitiTweet.org

@JohnLMacFarlane Wow. — PolitiTweet.org
Walt Mossberg @waltmossberg
@RetProf77 I agree. People think 40 years is a long time. But it’s actually a very short time for an enormous revolution in global technology. — PolitiTweet.org

@JohnLMacFarlane Beats me, John. It doesn’t look like any standalone mass market consumer desktop I’m familiar with. — PolitiTweet.org

@cag4twit @Wikipedia I had one of those. I even bought 35 of them, fully tricked out, for the Wall Street Journal Washington Bureau when I was the deputy bureau chief. But that was a much more sophisticated computer than the Timex Sinclair. — PolitiTweet.org
Walt Mossberg @waltmossberg
6/ The Timex Sinclair could do hardly anything, but it got me hooked and eventually led to a 27-year career as a tech columnist. Thanks, Clive Sinclair. /End — PolitiTweet.org
Walt Mossberg @waltmossberg
5/ It was my first computer and I bought it just to fool around with. Its membrane keyboard had BASIC command shortcuts stenciled onto the keys, so I learned some crude coding. I kept it about a year and then made an enormous step up to an @Apple IIe. — PolitiTweet.org
Walt Mossberg @waltmossberg
4/ It was a rebranded knockoff of an early British computer, the Sinclair ZX81. According to Wikipedia, the Timex version doubled the Sinclair’s memory to 2K from 1K, added some shielding, and the proper circuitry for the American TV standard. — PolitiTweet.org
Walt Mossberg @waltmossberg
3/ The TS1000 sold for $99.95 and was available everywhere. I bought mine from a sale bin at a drugstore. Like many, I enhanced mine with a plug-in 16K module that cost me another $50. — PolitiTweet.org
Walt Mossberg @waltmossberg
2/ This is a Timex Sinclair 1000. (Photo with label restored is below). It launched in 1982 with 2K of RAM. It had no storage (and no display). For storage, it used an audio cassette recorder. Display was a monochrome TV. Both bought separately. (Sources: my memory & @Wikipedia.) https://t.co/3kTvTBxfCz — PolitiTweet.org

1/ Thanks to all who participated in my little quiz on an old, obscure little personal computer. I’m cutting it off early because I got hundreds of guesses, some of them right (not counting copy-and-paste jobs from @Wikipedia) and many oh-so-close. Answers below in this thread. — PolitiTweet.org

Weekend tech quiz. Who can identify this, the year it came out, and the amount of RAM and storage it shipped with?… https://t.co/5c72f3zf7p

@JohnLMacFarlane Close, but not correct. — PolitiTweet.org
