  1. Well, we caved...we're now card-carrying members of the Minivan Club. twitpic.com/9pk4h2
  2. @the_scott You in U.S.? Regular version of the album is fine, but deluxe version is affected. The track on other albums also affected.
  3. @drbarnard Thanks. Yours definitely helped me think through some of the issues with Retina Macs…curious to see how Apple handles it.
  4. @drbarnard That's too bad…yours was a good post, and I tried to trim down quote enough to highlight while hoping readers would click.
  5. @Tr2v They're two different movies.

  7. @benbuffone Arnold founded it in 2000. I joined full-time in 2009 after several years volunteering in the forums.
  8. @benbuffone We have a small office in Richmond, Virginia, but I'm based in Raleigh, North Carolina.
  9. @m4tt Cool, no problem. Google Translate often does funny things, so took me a bit to convince myself they really were talking $.
  10. @m4tt And that appears to be pure speculation based on Proview owing its creditors $400 million, making that number its "minimum" for Apple.
  11. @m4tt Google translation of that Sina article on Proview talks says they want $400 million, not 400 million yuan.
  12. The new @toucharcade app is now ranked #100 in free iPhone apps…great work, guys! bit.ly/Je3xjJ
  13. @Penderworth Ya, he usually uses lowercase, but I should probably capitalize anyway. I'll fix it in a little bit.
  14. @parislemon Since you're using my number, more like 70 million w/out iPhone. VZ/T/S total ~260M subs vs 331M total. bit.ly/JnuBvi
  15. @parislemon Correct, they didn't state total. Feel like iPhone may be lower proportion there, but just a gut thing.
  16. @parislemon Yep. 2 Different beasts. NPD said Android led Apple 48/43 in Q4, but iPhone was big majority at T/VZ. bit.ly/IoZAtY
  17. @parislemon Well, they're not buying BlackBerry or Windows Phone... (I know, the math still doesn't quite work, but it's getting closer.)
  18. @parislemon Agreed…it's odd. Another thing is that there are ~100 million wireless subscribers on carriers that don't offer iPhone.
  19. @parislemon For starters, comScore measures installed user base, not new sales.
  20. @iPhoneinCanada I saw the random claims, but couldn't confirm, so thanks for that.
