6:15 William, what's going on over at Clearstone right now?
7:30 Thank you so much to Sourcebits for supporting the program!
8:00 First story: Facebook moved all of their users over to @facebook email addresses without warning. What impact did this have on users? When will Facebook stop doing things like this?
12:15 This shows how clueless Facebook is when it comes to understanding their users.
12:30 William, what are your thoughts on this?
14:30 Will Apple start doing this to? Even Google has done it, forcing Google+ on everyone.
17:30 Tyler: The real question is, now that everyone loves Facebook, how much crap will they be willing to take?
18:30 Bloomberg is reporting that Amazon is going to make a smartphone to compete with iPhone and Android. They also required mapping startup UpNext this week.

26:45 Thank you to MailChimp for sponsoring TWiST! Everyone thank @Mailchimp!
30:30 Tyler: One theory is that Apple is so dominant in Asia that they strong-armed manufacturing companies into using inferior products for their competitors.

48:15 Why didn't Netlix ever say "X% of the library is ad-supported"?
52:00 Discussion of the lack of titles available on Netflix.

1:00:15 Vivek, what was the post about you on HackerNews about? What happened?
