I noticed it a while back, but a tweet from Dave Navarro inspired me to spread the word even more. iPhone Autocorrect knows how to spell Motörhead, with the umlaut on the second “o”.

Twitter 4.0 for iPhone, extra steps to switch between accounts.
One thing I’m missing in Twitter 4.0 for iPhone is the ability to quickly switch between accounts. The new interface now adds one extra step. Previously you only have to tap the “Accounts” arrow on the top left of the app. With Twitter 4.0 for iPhone, you have to tap “Me”, scroll to the bottom of the page, then “Switch accounts”.
Fox News’ Twitter Got Hacked.
UPDATE:
Fox News acknowledges that their Twitter account was hacked.
Conspiracy theorist might call this one as plausible deniability.
From The Next Web:
Fox has found it has been made the target of a hacking campaign once again after attackers managed to compromise the Fox News Politics Twitter account and used it to spread misinformation that the president had been shot and killed.
We managed to get a screen grab of the twitter account:
Slash responds to South Park.
Slash, whose real name is Saul Hudson responds to South Park’s latest Episode titled “Crack Baby Athletic Association” through Twitter.
Wait a minute, Slash Hudson is playing Slash. So it is true. Slash is not real!
It is either Slash or the Easter Bunny who manages Slash Twitter Account.
P.S. If you didn’t know that Slash is not real:
- Forget that you read this.
- You don’t want to watch this video clip.
US Government subpoenas Twitter over Wikileaks.
Forget CES 2011, US Government subpoenas Twitter over Wikileaks.
According to reports, US Government is asking Twitter for the identities and all available informations on Wikileaks followers. Sounds scary isn’t it?
From ZDNet:
Twitter is in a difficult position. Considering their stance during the Iranian elections supporting the freedom of speech, it will appear as if the company is backtracking or giving into pressure by handing over details of its users to its government.
Hypothetical questions regardless of what had happened:
- Iranian Government demands identities of those who supports and/or are involved with the protest.
Twitter stands takes a stand and says “NO!” to Iranian Government.
Where do US Government stand? - Iranian Government demands identities of those who supports and/or are involved with the protest.
Twitter caves in and says gives to Iranian Government the informations.
Where do US Government stand?
From Washington Post (June 17, 2009):
The State Department asked social-networking site Twitter to delay scheduled maintenance earlier this week to avoid disrupting communications among tech-savvy Iranian citizens as they took to the streets to protest Friday’s reelection of President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.
Another question:
Can you have the cake and it it too?
As of this posting there are 634,942 Wikileaks followers on Twitter. (2011-01-08 21:05 Pacific Time)
UPDATE:
Now there are 634,676 Wikileaks followers on Twitter. (2011-01-08 23:40 Pacific Time)
There are 634,684 Wikileaks followers on Twitter. (2011-01-09 4:54 Pacific Time)
Should US Government subpoena blogging services such as WordPress for the accounts that ever mention Wikileaks in their Blog-post?

Anything Goes: June 24th, 2009 Edition.
I had quite a crazy morning with Outlook and Exchange Server. Then I went to the Apple Store to get a 15-inch MacBook Pro Battery replaced. It only has 70 full-charge-cycles and it lasts about 5 minutes of charge.
Bunch of letters and numbers and punctuations from the series of tubes:
- Unimaginable Horror In Tehran Today (ThreatsWatch.org) | Video is from CNN. Contain graphics picture.
- Guy Kawasaki’s Twitter account hijacked, pushes Windows and Mac malware (ZDNet) | Twitter users have been victims of account-hijacking for quite sometimes now. This is not the first time certainly won’t be the last for a foreseeable future. Obviously this is the same trojan aimed at Mac and Windows users. It is way too obvious that ActiveX plugin on Mac OS X is a trojan. Please be careful no matter what operating system you’re using.
- SPINAL TAP: ‘Back From The Dead’ First-Week Sales Revealed (Blabbermouth.net) | It sold 10,000 copies on its first week of release. Buy this CD from Amazon.com! (read disclaimer at the end of this post.) It is better than majority of music released this year so far.
- Panasonic Begins To Lock Out 3d-Party Camera Batteries (SlashDot) | Printer manufacturers have tried doing something similar. Then again there are a lot of poor quality third party batteries being sold.
