of virtual lives? i think that can happen. it s true that people can zone out using devices and there s a good cultural conversation going on people saying should we really be doing this quite so much? it s obviously incredibly valuable but you have to pay attention to the one in front of you. i would point out after he did that with his phone he was soundly mocked across the nation. then tweeted about it. and clive, twitter ipo, yes or no? i think it s probably going to be bad for twitter. any time one of companies go public they have to start franticly pumping more money out of the system and that tends to go against the interesting things people are doing with it. clive thompson, thank you very much. and the emmy goes to before you enter the office pool. you ll find who hollywood s smart money is on this weekend. if the strike isn t over, i ll change the bill. frank. one more week, that s all. this is the worst possible
