  1. The #appstore can be fixed, and I'd much rather see *that* than another 10,000 me-too apps.
  2. I *need* stores with a concept of shelf space. That's why I still go to meatspace stores. I *want* limited choices.
  3. Why are so many people excited about there being 100,000 apps in the #appstore? This is *bad*.
  4. I'd SO make-out with him: RT @migueldeicaza MonoTouch 1.2, with debugger support on iPhone and simulator is now public: http://bit.ly/3mMnPR
  5. @spolsky To put it out there, I'd also do StackOverflow Presents DevDays - Rory Blyth Edition: *The Filibuster Tour*
  6. @spolsky That'd be great, cos I can't shut up, & that'd gimme more session time. I accept. Our ppl can work out the details.
  7. RT @spolsky next year I'm doing a conference with just @codinghorror, @rory_blyth, @shanselman, and @jonskeet.
  8. @subdigital Agreed - but *all* companies are looking out for themselves. To do so *well*, they have to be good to *us*.
  9. RT @subdigital @rory_blyth agreed on all points except that Apple cares about protecting _us_ :) It's more about the Apple experience/image
  10. @xpaulbettsx Thing is: I like the WM way, but *agree* w/the iPhone way. I miss the freedom, but understand the restrictions.
  11. RT @xpaulbettsx iPhone model has its advantages, esp. compared to the WinMobile model where everybody's installing hooks in everything :-/
  12. @Poshy No idea when :| None whatsoever. Could be a while before someone offers me champagne while shoe-shopping in SF.
  13. Wondering what the fastest/easiest/cheapest way to start a proper (not just me) company is... hoping it's not Lawyer Time.
  14. @Poshy I'm w/you. High-end clothes shopping is a whole different, utterly marvelous experience. Le sigh...
  15. @spolsky That's partly how you do an event for $99/a person, right? Right. It's just hard to communicate that...
  16. @spolsky I disliked that the FogBugz bit of #devdays irked some attendees, but most don't know the cost of holding events.
  17. RT @spolsky I don't entirely grok why people get so upset when I talk about FogBugz. What do they want me to talk about? Gardening?
  18. @clingermangw I know! What MS did for game devs w/XNA and community - *fantastic*. But the haters keep on keepin' on...
  19. RT @clingermangw @rory_blyth I've tried that same argument many times with the XNA and XBLIG playground.
  20. Cleaning a kitty wound thrice daily, soaking it, then massaging it to encourage the abscess to drain... OCD nightmare.
