@MickeyCaskill Congrats Steve!

@SpaceX And even better with @Syntropynet twitter.com/Syntropynet/st…

The day that IE died. Internet Explorer officially retired after 27 years. Anyone else nostalgic for Netscape Navigator? tinyurl.com/43whdjtx

@maxcooter So sorry Max. My condolences to you and the family

This the saddest tweet that I've written but my mum died in the early hours of the morning. My sister and I have spent a lot of time with her over the past few days and she died peacefully. She had a long life and was a great mum. Gorffwys mewn heddwch

@codeysharp @DJack_Journo @davidyelland Your numbers are wrong. Very wrong. Cite your sources please.

@DJack_Journo @davidyelland Yes, the EU has 8,411 tanks, that is greater than 6,000, no? The "EU has 5,000" was from an old source, I didn't delete that part by mistake, the EU has more troops, tanks, ships and aircraft than the US. The US, however, is part of NATO, so would be an ally.

It's sad the UK is not a part of the EU, sad no British MEPs there today to cheer Zelensky, sad we have been so diminished by Brexit. We have left a superpower. What for?

@BeastyqtSC2 If ANC government cannot deliver stable electricity to the country after 26 years in power, they sure can't be expected to organise anything else. 😳

So apparently covid workers that test people in South Africa can be late/ come whenever they want because.. yeah. We are having a domestic flight now and im not sure if my test will be in time for international flight. Tried getting tested yesterday but no covid places worked 🙁

@BeastyqtSC2 Very sorry to hear your sad news Beasty. Condolences and best wishes from the UK.

My dad passed away yesterday evening after fighting covid for 35 days. I'm still in shock and don't really know what to say. I miss him so much already, he was the best dad to me and my sister. I don't know what my plan is, I might stream eventually or might be gone for a while.

@RamanKSDavies Sry not going to disclose it on public forum. Get way too many emails at moment. Send me yours and I will email it?

@TJowitt Thanks Tom, what’s your email address?

@TJowitt Hi Tom, I have a response comment from the founder of a leading digital marketing agency following Google's announcement to delay the removal of third-party cookies. Would you be interested in receiving this?

@Benmzondo @willljoness @DrCliffordWhit1 @afneil Oops yes you are right. Currently awaiting FDA approval

When madness strikes.

@Benmzondo @willljoness @DrCliffordWhit1 @afneil They are being over cautious in my opinion, which is leading to accusations it is a political manoeuvre to gain time to build up stockpiles and cover for the slow rollout. I think if the WHO says it is OK then that it good enough for me. Astra is still approved by US btw

@Benmzondo @willljoness @DrCliffordWhit1 @afneil America not using astra because they already have at least two other different types to use. SA not using it because it is not effective against SA variant. The WHO says it is mistake to stop using Astrazenica as it is safe

@crfonseca @MistaWet @zacbowden @jaymelbe Agree Microsoft was mostly to blame for the failure of Windows Phone. But lets be honest, Google had nothing to fear from WP back then. And Google was absolutely FURIOUS at Microsoft for its Android lawsuits and even publicly accused Redmond of extortion. silicon.co.uk/workspace/fumi…

You had to be there

@dbfssecret @zacbowden Err Satya was the one who killed Windows Phone. He was never a fan being a cloud man, and his lack of support when CEO is what doomed it. Ballmer made mistakes but he supported WP unlike Nadella

@zacbowden maybe if Satya came out with it, it would be marketed to be a huge deal...I just never had much confidence in Ballmer. Satya N. knows how to get things done RIGHT. I would consider the W phone over the my iPhone.

@MistaWet @zacbowden @jaymelbe Because Google had not forgiven Microsoft for its Android patent witch hunt. It forced Samsung and others to pay many millions...

@zacbowden @jaymelbe People conveniently forget MS did everything they could to get Google to allow their apps into the Windows Phone app store. MS even offered to pay for the development of the app and Google would not have it. No Google. No Phone.

To our American cousins. I know the last time we Brits were in Washington DC in 1814, we left a bit of a mess. I have a spare broom if you need help clearing up...😳

Some random fool (i.e. me) speaking on the BBC World Service this PM. Will need BBC account (26.30 minute mark)...bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/w1…

@eleanorvks Hi Eleanor. Happy to help. I can reached at 07967 634666 or tomj@houghtonconquest.plus.com. Cheers

@TJowitt Hi Tom - I work for BBC World Service. Was keen to get in touch about an item we're doing. Do DM me if you see this. Thanks so much

HEARTBREAKING: Sharks often have their fins cut off while still alive, then are tossed overboard. They can no longer swim, so they sink to the bottom of the #ocean and die slowly of suffocation or are eaten by other predators. #Shark fin soup must be banned. RT if you agree. 💔

@danbarker @gcluley @carolecadwalla Fair enough. Thought he said it was new year

@TJowitt @gcluley @carolecadwalla From Nick himself, on the 19th of October, in the Guardian: "Next week it will be my first day in a new job, after almost 20 years in public life..."

Nick Clegg's job cleaning up Facebook's image seems to be going even worse than everyone had imagined. From: theguardian.com/technology/201…, by @carolecadwalla
