How do you get Steve Jobs to respond to your emails? We’ve no idea, but a couple of Apple fans seem to have had luck in recent weeks. Reviews: Picasa Tags: email , steve jobs

Filed under: App Review I’m a Google Analytics geek. I think it’s one of the coolest things Google has ever invented. I only have a few websites but I’ve injected Google Analytics code into all of them so I can track who’s viewing my pages, for how long, and where from. Needless to say, I was astonished when I checked Google Analytics on my iPhone and I didn’t see an iPhone-optimized page like their mobile search and Gmail pages. Thankfully Thomas Blackburn has picked up Google’s slack and created the slickest Google Analytics app I’ve seen.

Twitter users are reporting a new attempt to extract their usernames and passwords — a Direct Message attack that asks “You’re on here?” with a link. Others report DMs linking to a site called “mhansenhome” with the message “’someone posted on their blog about you”. The advice is straightforward: if you get such a message on Twitter, DO NOT click the link or enter your login details on the landing page. If you find you’re sending out these DMs to friends, change your Twitter password

Filed under: Podcasts Our trademark talkcast goes on the air once again this evening at 10pm Eastern, and it’s going to be a heck of a show. We’re right in the middle of the runup to the iPad, so we’ll be talking about Apple’s rumored scramble for content deals, those test units hidden in the wild, and the doors opening up for app submissions on the App Store. And “iPad” isn’t the only word on the street — Apple has chosen to ban protective screens for some reason, 10.6.3 could be sneaking out this week, and we’ve even got new hardware rumors (but then again, don’t we always?).
