00:33:50  Mike Bracco - when John Humphrey pointed out Tylers insight at SxSW "It's like going out for drinks and not going back to her place"

00:36:00  Lon, TWiST #16 - How to use a telephone to call info

00:38:00  Learned helpless rant

00:40:00  News with Lon Harris

00:41:00  HP buys Palm will it be successful?  No others in the space are guggernauts (Android and iPhone OS)

00:43:00  JasonNation to sign up for newsletter

00:44:20  Jason's been offered to do a book but is unsure he wants the book to be timeless if he writes one

00:45:30  iPhone Seller Identity Discovered, who is at fault, the phone seller or buyer? The seller

01:01:00  How does this relate to the Twitter documents? no payment was given, TechCrunch called Twitter and gave them back, they didn't publish everything

01:03:00  Lon, usually stolen items you keep, the iPhone is journalistic in nature in that they gave it back, sellers fault

01:08:35  Principle Bans Social Networks, young kids should not be on the internet unsupervised

01:10:20 Worst part is they will still probably see some disturbing things, computers should be in the family room, you need to trust them and discuss the internet use and privacy  settings, Zuckerberg has no morals, the default privacy settings tell something about a person

01:12:30  A drivers license should be required when driving a car and under a certain age you should only be able to go only 5 mph over the speed limit

01:14:30  Are we going to value the annonymous comments or not, which provides more value?

01:18:20  When Tyler was in 7th grade he and a friend were caught picking on someone and all the parents involved had to go into a meeting at the school to straighten it out, not a social network issue then, kids will be kids but social networks have more reach.

01:20:10  Steve Jobs vs. Adobe, he is brilliant and well written, he made a case against Adobe and every point is correct, but if anyone else wrote the same letter people would go nuts, the argument fails by not giving people a choice.

01:24:00  Industry needs to decide on a standard, internet is at a cross roads

01:26:50  Jason is considering breaking the show up one show with only a guest interview the other being a show of "Ask Jason", "Jason's Shark Tank" and "The News"

01:28:00  End
