@elonmusk Here's John Stewart calling Cramer out on short-sellers for manipulating the market with misinformation to induce the "moron longs" to sell and using rapid trading to drive the stock down, https://t.co/k7j4htpM2p $GME

@elonmusk https://t.co/wZP4NiUblo Cramer's playbook for short-seller dirty tricks, "what's important when you're in that hedge fund mode is to not do anything remotely truthful. Because the truth is so against your view that it's important to create a new truth to develop a fiction." $GME

@JoannaStern Local storage forces you to think about what you save and at what size/resolution, which is good. With cloud storage you stop thinking about that and can lock yourself in because you can't possibly download everything. I'm mostly paying for thousands of hi-res photos of my dog.

@bitonalbean @JoshuaPotash @indieannatv @RobinhoodApp They only banned buying because that was hurting their main backer, and biggest customer, Citadel, who is shorting retail stocks. Selling is allowed.

@JoshuaPotash @RobinhoodApp Apple is deleting any negative reviews of #Robinhoodapp from the #appstore

[Phil Scales @rockit88]

@AOC @RobinhoodApp Any negative reviews of #Robinhoodapp in the iOS #appstore are also being deleted by Apple, so young people still downloading it don't know what they're getting into. They're basically cannon fodder for the banks that own RH.

Going to an actual $GME and $BBY today. Really are good stores and there are benefits to owning physical games. #gobuysomething $AMC $BB $BBBY $EXPR $GME $NAKD If you use #Robinhoodapp you aren't the customer, you're the product.

[Phil Scales @rockit88]

@Vvd410D @stoolpresidente The problem is these platforms have all gone commission-free so their revenue comes from selling your trading data to Citadel and other hedge funds, so that's who they're beholden to, that's their real customer.

[Phil Scales @rockit88]

@Xyrlian @bekahwalker101 It does change their fortunes if they issue more shares, which they should--or should have. Now apparently they can only be sold or shorted.

[Phil Scales @rockit88]

@GeorgeTakei @RobinhoodApp Most of their revenue comes from selling user trading data to the same hedge funds shorting retailers during a pandemic, https://t.co/lbJqSU1vTI RH traders are betting on a recovery, but RH is helping turn retailers to dust. #Robinhood users aren't customers, they're the product.

[Phil Scales @rockit88]

@AOC @RobinhoodApp Most of their revenue comes from selling user trading data to the same hedge funds shorting retailers during a pandemic, https://t.co/lbJqSU1vTI Should investigate how hedge funds shorted 140% of $GME too. When the platform is free we're not the customer, we're the product.

@johnbalestrieri If you have any app bundles those are still being charged 30% (32.2 with VAT). Paid apps agmt states all small biz sales should be charged 15% commission, so Apple should fix this. I've been talking to them but I've only reached the Hermes Conrad level of their bureaucracy.

[Phil Scales @rockit88]

@TechCrunch @Grg Apple is still charging Small Business Program members 30% on app bundle sales so the actual rate we're seeing is 25%, not 15% because more than half our sales are bundles. According to the developer agreement, all sales, including bundles, should be charged 15%. #appstore

[Phil Scales @rockit88]

@tim_cook Apple is still charging members of the App Store Small Business Program a 30% commission on app bundle sales despite the contract saying all sales would be charged 15%.

@GeorgeTakei Real Genius...in fact, I might just have to watch it again right now. And of course, Wrath of Khan, Search for Spock, and Voyage Home

[Phil Scales @rockit88]

@Frauenfelder Real Genius

@GeorgeTakei I rewatched every Star Trek TOS & Film while coding Math Fleet, http://t.co/CNWattzf Kept me going at 3am many times. Thanks!

[Phil Scales @rockit88]

@Frauenfelder: Here's a video of Math Fleet 1.2 in action on an iPad3 http://t.co/jRv9UOce * Sort of like Math Galaga combined w/ Asteroids

[Phil Scales @rockit88]

@mashable Seriously? No #mathfleet? http://t.co/Px3QE26h
