Dave Winer's Twitter posts for 3/7/2009

I threw the "fucking" in there cause I wanted to see what http://cursebird.com/davewiner would do with it. (Now I'm a drunk sailor!)
Do you really have your money literally stuffed in a mattress or are you trusting a bank with your savings? If the latter, be worried.
Talk to economists, don't buy into voodoo. Banks fail every day. It's only a problem if you don't deal with it. (Which is what we're doing.)
New blog post: A short step in URL-shorteners. http://bit.ly/cWxvN
1. I do not suggest using mattresses. 2. I do suggest fixing the banks. 3. Cut out the "socialism" nonsense, reporters.
@migueldeicaza -- I can help. It is both a tweet and a twit. :-)
Anyone who thinks that the FDIC is what we're trusting is NOT READING THE NEWS.
People who use Twitter are supposed to be super-informed. Go read the news. You need to know what's going on. Get off Twitter. Now!
More thoughts on URL-shorteners. http://bit.ly/18BBBi
Is fellow Berkeleyite Andrew Keen is throwing in the towel? He says we're all Scoble now. Have to think about that. http://bit.ly/MDtvN
If this is true, then Google is very cleverly punishing Microsoft for foolishly trying to control the netbook market. http://bit.ly/vhM5Y
The fact that netbooks were such a breakthrough says there was SERIOUS anti-trust control of market by Dell, HP, MS, Intel, et al.
Laptops should have been MUCH cheaper for years. Think of all the growth that we missed because of what control freaks they are.
Now MS wants to phase out netbooks and force everyone to use Windows 7 and its DRM. To which Google says thanks! Now we'll eat MS's lunch.
Except for the OPML Editor most of what I use on my netbook is Firefox anyway. Could just as easily be Chrome (if it had Foxmarks hint hint)
Rule #1: When you have a hit like XP Home say thanks and don't fuck with it! MIcrosoft! Get a fucking clue!! :-)
MS has, for over a decade, been a welfare system for Windows OS programmers. They didn't need any of them. They just make messes.
They wasted many many billions of shareholder dollars.
I want @jayrosen_nyu to have a Sunday talk show. I'd pay $5 a week for it. I'd pay $25 if I could be a guest once in a while. :-)
Making progress. Now I swear like a "gangsta rappa" -- http://cursebird.com/davewiner
