[JASApplications]

Twitter on my iPhone This is a good day

BBC Mobile site on my iPod Touch.

So did Bin Laden actually get his white iPhone or not?

The radio-terrribly old fashioned.

He obviously got a cell phone quite recently (which revealed his location), but I doubt he was gay.

Phone threw up some text messages at me, before I could finish reading the first - got a call from my Aussie friend across the globe.

Tried to visit CNN.com - site had bricked on my end (could NOT load it) - fired up the tube and watched Obeezy.

Felt an undeserved feeling of accomplishment, smiled, then went to bed.

I woke up and there was a notification on my iPhone from the Mike Tyson boxing game that Obama had killied Osama. It then asked me i could do the same with Mike Tyson in the game lol.

In was like WTF! Immediately checked twitter and my timeline was jam packed.

 

[Compile 'em all]

First knew about it from Facebook when I woke up (EU timezone here).

Dunno, but apparently his trusted courier unknowlingly backed up his iPhone's consolidated.db location history to an iTunes computer at a sleazy CIA-run internet cafe in Islamabad, and gave away a year's worth of movements.

j/k

My CNBC app on my iPad 2 alerted me of it about half an hour before everyone on facebook started talking about it.

Epic lol quote of the hour if not the day. Very meta.

By text msg at 0500am this morning.

 

[BladesOfSteel]

I actually saw the news when I visited ESPN this morning on Firefox - then I went to ABCNews.com.

Hey, at least I was using my MBP at the time.

 

[Nuttydev]

Saw something about it on Facebook, then proceeded to put the news on and see what was happening.

 

[Big D 51]

Facebook first place I seen the news.

 

[bartelby]

On Twitter, about 2 mins before it was on the BBC news website...

 

[italeki]

Cool! I wonder how Rosie O'Donnell and very many of her political persuasion feel now, after saying it was George Bush who mastermind the attacks on 9/11. Out of Obama's own mouth, yes, it was Bin Laden responsible for 9/11, not Bush.

 

[msb3079]

Just like everything else... TWITTER.

GWB and the word mastermind clashes in the same sentence. He barely made it through Yale, to which his aristocratic background granted him entry no doubt.

For those saying OBL died in 2001 figuratively, no he did not. The man had reigning control over the most feared and respected terrorist group for these last ten years.

THe world according to Jon. 10 seconds later, I saw this thread in the "new posts."
