The cat and mouse game between Apple and law enforcement continues.

Apple has been very clear on its stance with regard to this issue.

Italy has been devastated by the spread of the virus.

Lots of information here including models and forecasting, fighting misinformation, and tools for scientists.

As usual, the New York Times makes pronouncements and assumptions not applicable to “most people.” I’ve worked from home for 26+ years. No, it’s not for everyone but many, many people can and should make it work.

Saying the best pixel editor on the Mac isn’t Photoshop is a bold statement.

More good news/bad news. Airfare out of Vancouver is often ridiculously expensive but right now, flights to NYC are under $230. Very tempting.

As always, it depends on your needs. Personally, I could certainly do 50% of my editing on an iPad Pro in the field but I’d still have/want to come back to a 27″ iMac to finish. YMMV

If AirPods Pro actually worked like this, I’d never turn Transparency mode off.

This is a real good news/bad news situation for Apple – sales are up but they can’t meet demand for the same reason sales are up.

Hopefully, real action can come out of this meeting and not just photo ops.

Is this only for US-based users of Apple News (not Apple News+)? I don’t see any such banner at the top of my News app on the desktop or on iOS.

I’ve always loved watching glassblowing but had never thought about the need for specialty scientific glass.

This is the tip of a global iceberg. More bad news will come.

Take a look at some of these live cam shots of Italian tourist hotspots. The Roman Colosseum, the Piazza San Marco in Venice, Florence’s Piazza della Signoria, the Trevi Fountain. Tourist locations that are normally packed, even in late winter, are almost empty. This summer may well become known as “The Summer without Tourists.”

As a motorcyclist, this is an event we would say had a “very high pucker factor”! The rider filming was going more than 96mph when he saw the oncoming bikes. The oncoming bikes were likely at that speed or higher. All were very lucky to get through it alive.

They have browser plugins for Chrome and Safari. I’m going to give it a try for a while.

Last week, the county recommended this step. Things have gotten so much worse so fast, they feel the need now to actually ban the activities. While WWDC isn’t technically affected by this three-week ban, it may have a chilling effect on those wanting to attend.

More sleazy companies doing more sleazy things.

This might be the most ambitious “shot on iPhone” video ever undertaken.

I love stories of these kinds of shots. They often include the skill of the photographer, great timing and not just a little bit of luck.

I like a good hockey fight as much as any other red-blooded Canadian but this was mayhem.

As the article explains, solving our traffic congestion issues by building more roads won’t work. We’ve got to find ways to get cars off the road, not make it easier/better for them.

The tracker keeps up with developments and announcements from Amazon, Microsoft, Foxconn, Facebook, Google, Samsung, and Apple.

Delightfully nerdy story.

One of the big issues with the “advice” of “just stay home,” is that many people, especially in retail, can’t afford to. This is a big gesture on Apple’s part and shows a lot of trust in their employees.

I love Scott’s video channel. When I drank bottled water years ago, I always chose Dasani. I knew it was just tap water but didn’t care. I didn’t know it wasn’t available in Britain.

I won’t be surprised if these cancellations spread to other areas or last into April and May.

This is an updated support article from Apple but I’ve always used Clorox Wipes on my water-resistant iPhones.

This site will get shut down in 3….2….1….
