I think some software features are going to have links to twitter and facebook and Scott is signing onto twitter to try them out. Social integration experiments. Software but not necessarily tweeting.
 
Why is this news?

Let's see...the question is...do I care?

The answer...No! I love my iPad, and the iPhone 4 I have is great, but I could care less what Apple executives have to say unofficially. Besides, its almost a sure thing that this guy will make stupid comments that make Apple look bad.
 
To all those people who are constantly whining about not caring. Why on earth do you click on the article that's clearly titled with this news and has a full description. How is commenting that you don't care any better? If you don't care go and comment in a thread that you DO care ;) Thanks.
 
Let's see...the question is...do I care

Loo: And who are they?
Dr. Klahn: Refuse, found in waterfront bars.
Loo: Shanghaied?
Dr. Klahn: Just lost drunken men who don't know where they are and no longer care.
Prisoner #1: Where are we?
Prisoner #2: I don't care!
Loo: And these?
Dr. Klahn: These are lost drunken men who don't know where they are, but do care! And these are men who know where they are and care, but don't drink.
Prisoner #3: I don't know who I am?
Prisoner #4: And I don't drink!
Dr. Klahn: Guards! (move prisoners) Do you care?
Prisoner #5: No.
Dr. Klahn: Put this man in cell #1, and give him a drink.
Guard: What do you drink?
Prisoner #5: I don't care.

:D

Nice! One of my favorite movies ever! I've never known anyone else that has even heard of KFM.
 
You're missing the point and why it's frontpage - Apple does not allow their top tier talent to have a blog of any kind (Twitter is a glorified blog).

As he's a huge part of the iPhone team, you have to assume this is with concerns toward the new iPhone, which means they are concerned about the bad PR.

In layman's terms - this is a brand new shift in how Apple communicates to customers, because of a shoddy product.

I'd image they'll have a team of interns who spend all day posting "Sorry" but you can see the reasoning behind it and the big impact it has on what was once the indomitable Apple.

Depending on your age, another example would be 300 when the main guy throws a spear at the "god" and it shows him bleeding, which showed all the millions of followers he had, that in fact he wasn't a god. Apple bled and this is them initially whipping the blood away AKA admitting there's something there.

OR I just need to get more sleep...

in layman's terms - this could mean jack S**t, point blank. lately i find that "allot" of Apple users are kind of...creepy, a bunch of stalkers if you will. i mean hey its just a fu*king company that builds over rated phones/over priced & outdated computer with a sweet OS. Some of you guys act as if the entire world revolves around Apple. get a life
 
Wow, this forum got seriously trimmed. I bet that all those people working in the confectionary industry, filling up the boxes were thrilled to have been mentioned, but now their good effort to keep the world's mouths filled will be forgotten.

Retire, relax, enjoy your family. It is just a fanboy. Not worth it.

Your super smart and better than everyone else! Please tell everyone what else is wrong with us

Oh wait you are just lost. Just because people discuss Apple things on a site dedicated to Apple products, does not mean it is the center of the users life.
 
Not interested

I'm not even interested in what this douche has to say during the WWDC's let alone what he posts on his Twitter account.
 
Facepalm

You "why is this news?" "You've got to be kidding me" people look adorable in your stylish suits made of 'obtuse'.

This is a no-no for someone of Forstall's position in Apple. He has clearly been given permission to (or rather, was told to) create this account. It's using his real name, information about his position within the company, is verified, and was created right in the middle of a huge PR *****torm. There's a reason for it, and he ain't gonna be talking about what he had for lunch. *Something* regarding this whole mess is going to posted through that account.

An exclusive preview of Forstall's Twitter account:


20:19 - I'm washing my balls and this new iPhone is so fantastic! There is absolutely nothing wrong with it.

21:39 - Not a single drop. None. No issue, just magic! Fantastic, revolutionary... I'm trimming the hair on my scrotum.

08:39 - Retina display - WOW! I'm on a horse.

17:07 - just had a latte with Steve. He said the iP4 is the best he's ever had. We laughed. Then I said: try me! He did. should have used a bumper.

Really, you COULD? how much?

Hopefully, the iPad really needs some Facebook integration... twitter, meh.
