- Face To Face: How Airtime Will Re-Humanize The Internet | TechCrunch
"On Airtime, you experience together thanks to real-time video chat and video sharing. You’re both the performer and the audience.

"This is how we get a little bit dumber. A reporter or editor somewhere decides that all real knowledge can be found only at a point equidistant between two competing claims, no matter if one of those claims deserves as much attention and respect as the guy with the shopping cart screaming at the contrails in the sky. Crazy gets normalized. Stupid gets a hearing." (ap journalism homophobia ) - Apple CEO Tim Cook’s First Time in the Red Chair at D – Ina Fried – D10 – AllThingsD
