  1. On the Cape next week? Come say hello at my talk at the Marine Biological Laboratory! http://bit.ly/2L9vFX (<--forgive the goofy bio)
  2. My Times column is up! The first home bedside sleep lab... http://bit.ly/WeNpw
  3. Free coffee from McDonald's every Monday until Aug 3. Purchase necessary? No--"Free is free." http://bit.ly/rlqbK
  4. RT @wotten1: David --what final number will "and his XXX000 followers" say? [DP sez: It will say 500K-- the tally at the time of finishing!]
  5. RT @javieraram: @Pogue Wow, the cover looks pretty cool! What's inside? [DP SEZ: Mid-August. Details: http://bit.ly/R6VAG !)
  6. For anyone who's interested in our Twitter book: here's the final cover. http://bit.ly/175ySO Fun to compare with my original sketch!
  7. Wow, this looks like a fantastic (and, apparently, even-handed) movie.... http://bit.ly/oVT1p
  8. "The World According to Twitter" ( http://bit.ly/R6VAG ) went to press today! Hits stores in 3-4 weeks. Thank you all for an AMAZING ride!
  9. CNBC arriving shortly to film this week's video. My character: in bed, rumpled. Nice not to have to get cleaned up for the shoot for once!
  10. Great story on Bing's success ( http://bit.ly/1ahArk )-"It would have to triple its audience to catch Yahoo, & grow eightfold to tie Google"
  11. Was just watching the Sotomayor hearings live on nytimes.com home page; video surrounded by articles...LIke a glimpse of a sci-fi newspaper!
  12. Want to double the iPhone 3GS's battery life? Turn off the screen; operate it entirely using the tap-to-speak VoiceOver feature! CREEPY!
  13. Another tip from "iPhone: The Missing Manual" 3rd Ed: You can voice-dial the iPhone 3GS EVEN WHEN IT'S ASLEEP! No wake, no password, etc!
  14. Thanks for your help, Exchange/iPhone folk... I'm all set!
  15. Do you sync iPhone w/ both Exchange server AND a Mac or PC? I need a certain screenshot for my iPhone book...write me: pogue@me.com! Thanks!
  16. LOL! Me: "I've never been into video games. Wonder why?" Daughter Tia (10, @TicTacTia): "It's because all you had is Pong!"
  17. It had to happen--but so fast: Blu-Ray players are now under $100! http://bit.ly/18esJi Next they'll be falling out of Crackjack boxes!
  18. You can install UNLIMITED APPS! Only 180 show up as icons—but Spotlight can find and open all of them! (And yes, we tried. Stopped at 250!)
  19. Here's my favorite tip from "iPhone 3: The Missing Manual" (goes to press Monday) (continued next tweet):
  20. Last night, 4 a.m... DING! DING! what the-? Wake up, hunt--it's the review Palm Pre, saying battery is low. WHY DO I NEED A DING for that!?!
