Miami has apparently filled out one if its vacant spots with the signing of Mike Miller and as much as I hate to say it, its over for the rest of the league. I had the Heat winning ~64 games with the “trinity” and 9 scrubs. The addition of Mike Miller is a perfect complement to that roster.

“It’s about who can come to Miami. It’s about who do you trust, who can fit the organization, who best fits you as a player, things of that nature,” Wade said, enhancing the perception that he will spend the start of the July 1 negotiation period more as a recruiter than as someone being recruited.

“It’s going to be, ‘fit with me first,’ “Wade told ESPN. “I’ve made that very clear. Do I want to leave? Nope. I want to be in Miami. That’s where it starts.”

”

Do not fall for this crap. Got about 6 of these badboys in my inbox this morning. First of all if there was a security issue with your account it would not require installing a security tool kit via a zip file. Ding ding ding!

My Take On the Official Twitter for iPhone App

Wed, 19 May 2010 15:19:12 -0400

I think its pretty sad that the developers of this app, whether it be Tweetie or the official Twitter Team cannot take advise from its millions of users. While it may be free, this is reason I have no problem paying 3…4…5 bucks for a Twitter app that has developers who actually take recommendations into account when developing their product. There are a few things regarding this app that drive me crazy.

1. No old style retweet. Yes I know this has been driven home to death and I’m sure the Twitter Team would much rather you use their style of retweeting rather than an archaic method of doing so. While this is fine by Twitter’s standards it does not give the end user the flexibility that they want. This type of feature is available in many other paid apps such as Osfoora and Echofon. Make people happy and add this feature. What makes things even worse is they changed the “Quote Tweet” option, which used to add a /via @ to the end of the tweet to ACTUALLY ADDING QUOATION MARKS AROUND THE WHOLE TWEET. Perhaps I am a moron but what is the point of this?

2. No distinguishing between old and new tweets. Why is this such a problem to add? Unless I am missing an obvious way to determine this, when I open up Twitter for iPhone it loads from the last position where I closed the app. None of the new tweets are colored different or have a label showing they are new since the last time I opened the app.

Don’t get me wrong. This app is sexy as hell. It has the standard bells and whistles that a Twitter client should have. It’s super fast, has full down to refresh, full landscape mode support, foursquare integration and has a plethora of image upload services and one of my favorite features, the ability to use a custom API endpoint for image upload services allowing me to upload photos to Flickr.

If they would fix these little quirks that not only bother me, but tons of other users who complain about them in the app store, it would be the only Twitter client on my phone.

I have a feeling we will see advertisements in this app before any of my requests get filled.

Regardless, enjoy Twitter for iPhone.

You know it’s true when Google Search Auto-Complete says so.

I would certainly say this suffices as a valid excuse for Lebron’s poor play.
