"1. Can you wear them while driving?
2. Can you get them with a fighter pilot helmet that has "Maverick" stenciled on it? ...to wear while driving.
3. Do they come with a Kenny Loggins Greatest Hits CD?"

"Have to agree with Corrupted Mind. Look at Amazon's play here. They understand that what it takes to win in the mobile space is KIATCS (keep it about the content, stupid). Okay, not so elegant as KISS, but you get the point. What sells tablets is't dual core processors or the latest version of Android. It's about easy access to the content I want. That simple understanding -- which seems lost on most tablet makers -- and the super low price point looks like a winning combination (or at least insta-player status for Amazon).
Buying Palm gets Amazon hardware, software, IP protection and means Amazon no longer reliant on Android. Android let Amazon enter the market more quickly, but looking at how Amazon works, you have to assume they want to control everything about the Fire. Soup to nuts. Buying Palm, gets them a lot closer, a lot faster."

"Hi Brett,
I was losing it when you referenced recipes several times at f8. I thought maybe there was a player in the space I didn't know about. A buddy and I are launching MyFaveRecipes.com. We're we're building a social-first recipe site that is all about sharing on Facebook. http://blog.myfaverecipes.com/ We're in closed alpha now. If you're interested, I'm happy to add you to the alpha. I'd love any feedback you might have. The use cases you spelled out at f8 are exactly what we're solving for. We've added the Open Graph elements and will probably open up the site when you guys open up the Open Graph. Contact me at [email protected]"

"Ha! The other way to go is to put it in a case. Although, you'd want a clear case to continue to show off the badassitude. My incident was particularly horrible because it happend two weeks after I got my 4."

"Love the story Monica Guzman ! The Apple store at Bellevue Square replaced the glass on the back of my iPhone for $15. It got badassed in a horrible ultimate frisbee incident. :( It's better fixed. :)"

"I was most taken with the way they called on people with questions at the Facebook press conference. "You. In the green shirt. Go ahead." Reporters who have covered the tech space for the last 30 years have to love that.
Kathy, your points are well made. The disconnect for me is the continuing lack of technology at the POTUS press conferences. Still no laptops?!?! Are they forced to write on papyrus with quill pens too?"
