@zainichia9 @sfrancisatx @toddheberlein @gassee @elfary74 @Google @MKBHD I don’t know whether @Google makes a profit on Android. But I have no sympathy for app developers who think the best way to make a profit on Android is to get hardware OEMs to preload unrequested, unremovable, privacy-stealing craplets onto the phones they sell. — PolitiTweet.org

@stevejarrett @baldy @tfadell @billatk @andyhertzfeld @jameshiga In one of our onstage interviews, as well as many times in private, Steve Jobs told me he was almost prouder of the things he decided not to build than of those he did. He was always all about curation and selectivity. — PolitiTweet.org

@Apple designed and makes its own virus protection masks, for internal use. According to @StevenLevy, the company gave away its mask stockpile to medical facilities. Rather than compete with frontline workers to buy more, Apple made its own. But they’re not for sale. So Apple. https://t.co/ZctkM3sH9M — PolitiTweet.org

@elfary74 @Google @gassee @MKBHD Long before Android existed, I wrote columns attacking the practice by hardware makers of pre-installing third party apps on Windows. Doing so on Android hardware is the same thing. These “craplets”, as I used to call them, endanger privacy and security and are a pain in general. — PolitiTweet.org

@racheld I love that you did this, Rachel, and how you did it. — PolitiTweet.org

Walt Mossberg @waltmossberg

@newsreader2242 @peterbakernyt @WSJ @sbg1 Right. Though there are many differences, of course. The Chernow book is great, by the way. — PolitiTweet.org

The second reason is to recall, or discover, a time when highly partisan operators were still willing to deal with their opponents, even after bitter campaigns, and reach compromises. Whether you like Baker or not, he knew the facts cold and cared about governing. — PolitiTweet.org

There are two main reasons to read this book. One is to learn about the most powerful, longest serving, unelected U.S. government official in modern times, a man who ran the White House staff, the economic affairs of the country and our foreign affairs over a 12-year run. — PolitiTweet.org

Walt Mossberg @waltmossberg

@patricknward @WSJ @sbg1 @peterbakernyt Neither. — PolitiTweet.org

I covered James Baker as both Secretary of the Treasury and Secretary of State for the @WSJ and traveled the world with him. I just finished reading the new biography of Baker, “The Man Who Ran Washington” by @sbg1 and @peterbakernyt. It’s brilliant. I highly recommend it. https://t.co/7Xotbt8G9j — PolitiTweet.org

Don’t just bemoan the flood of lies and conspiracy theories on social media. Do something about it by donating to the @NewsLitProject, which, every day, teaches young people how to to distinguish fact from fiction. https://t.co/vVXi8U9rat — PolitiTweet.org

If you’re starting a podcast, or looking to improve one, you won’t find anyone better to help you than Eric Johnson. I’m thrilled that he’s starting a new podcasting company, BumbleCast. I can’t recommend him enough. — PolitiTweet.org

@HeyHeyESJ @bumblecastFM Fantastic idea, Eric! You have the talent to make this succeed and I admire the diversity and creator commitments in your plan. — PolitiTweet.org

If you really want to know how a digital editor-in-chief does his job, while also juggling writing, making videos, podcasting, and being a Dad, this is the piece to read. My friend and former colleague @reckless does it all. https://t.co/SvQobqo658 — PolitiTweet.org

@anotherhelen @reckless @verge That comment was true. And the whole piece was great. — PolitiTweet.org
