Looking forward to a video broadcast sometime should be highly entertaining.

Yes, sign me up for the video podcast as well- course, I don’t pay extra for it over here…

Fabulous show as always guys. Let me see if I have this straight: you want ICASA fixed so they can NOT interfere with the market? Maybe want to fish or cut bait on that one, put me down for fixing it and interference be damned. Congratulations John on involuntarily joining the same non-Twitter club as Miley Cyrus: too bad they’ll have to email their moo-moos to each other, because I’m sure the rest of us would have found that interesting to view.

When the Kindle price drops by around half I will sneak out of the house in the dead of night and get one. My lovely wife is as usual somewhere between repulsed and horrified at the thought of dropping paper for plastic in this case, but give me every book I’ve ever wanted in the same case! Plus whatever I’m writing, if it can handle that.

To Jon Tullet,

I logged into my Twitter account and I can see a “Delete my Account” link right at the bottom of my Settings/Account page.

It is in a horrible light blue on white background so I can see how you may have missed not seeing it.

Good luck removing your account.
