All due respect to Mr Young but he’s full of shit. I will categorically say Steve Jobs never said that to him.

Post your guess before you watch the video. I was blown away by that final number. What a lucky guy.

I don’t usually comment or post about rumours but this makes a huge amount of sense if Apple is looking to expand past original content. MGM has a huge back catalog including the Bond franchise.

Great analysis of what will happen later today and why.

Sinofsky is the former President of the Windows Division at Microsoft and had a front row seat to the disruption the iPad would cause.

I don’t like buffets in principle (the idea of “picked over food” nauseates me) but woe be to the restaurant that offers “All You Can Eat Sushi.” I can eat my body weight in sushi.

I opt-out of all data collection regardless of whether or not the company claimes “The data is fully de-identified.” If you use “Avast Security for Mac”, you might want to look for alternatives.

While this may be a (minor) ethical dilemma for many parents and a conversation I enjoy having with other parents to see where they draw the line, I maintain that up to a certain age, “Children have zero expectation of or right to privacy from their parents.” Or, as my mother would have put it if she had children today, “My house. My rules.”

Ten years ago today, Apple announced the iPad. The video shows an obviously frail Steve Jobs introducing it at a special keynote. I still remember lining up outside of the Apple Store in Portland, Oregon to get my hands on one. As a matter of fact, it would be the last time I lined up in the early hours to get a new Apple product.

Even as it was talked about all over the Mac web last week, I knew it was only a matter of time before it got taken down. You can’t publicly aggregate this much of Apple’s content and not have them notice. There is still lots of content there but all the videos seem to have been pulled.

Anecdotally, I’ve heard similar from the few Tesla and Leaf owners I know.

Tell your less technically adept family and friends FLASH IS DEAD and they shouldn’t install any version of it, particularly if those family and friends visit “sketchy” websites.

Sonos is saying this was more of a misstep in communication.

New York Times: Names, and their concomitant marketing strategy, aside, today’s launching of the Macintosh by Apple, unlike I.B.M.’s recent introduction of the rather unexceptional PCjr, presages a revolution in personal computing. Like all major innovations, this one entails a … Continued

There’s a guy like this at almost every successful company, for better or worse.

While First Nations peoples were here long before them, America and Canada are the creation of immigrants. We became who we are today because of people from many places coming together to create these places. While the filmmakers say, “These are not stories with any kind of agenda,” that’s obviously disingenuous. The agenda is subtle but it’s still there. But in my opinion, it’s a good agenda.

At first blush, these hearings seemed like the typical grandstanding by no-nothing politicians. But Cicilline is well respected and knowledgeable. Hopefully, that means his findings will be taken seriously by all involved.

While this is a fairly localized and limited offering, anything that gets people up and active is a good thing. If we had a “connected gym” around us that offered these kinds of incentives, we’d be very interested in checking it out. I love the idea of saving a few bucks on your monthly bill just for going to the gym and working out.

It’s hard to have much sympathy for Bezos but this is a chilling story nonetheless.

There’s been a lot of press/hype about this vehicle over the past couple of days as the media who were blessed with rides and interviews get their articles out. But there’s not nearly enough skepticism, healthy or otherwise, around this particular implementation.

My wife is wanting to get more info on her sleep tracking using the Apple Watch v3. Does anyone use or recommend any of these apps or any that aren’t on the list?

As a photographer, sometimes you get lucky. And sometimes, you work your ass off to get just the right shot. This one is incredible.

I was as “fauxraged” as anyone else when I first saw the “offending” tweet. But, after thinking on it for a couple of days (I know – not doing a hot take is so 20th century) and reading this piece I recognized I have an emotional attachment to books that, while perhaps warranted, isn’t necessary to foist on others who don’t feel the same way.

While not always directly applicable, we can all certainly learn at least a little something from people in these countries.

This is an old post from 2016 but, in light of the recent stories, it shows a couple of things. One, that the issue has been known about for quite some time and two, some of Apple’s rationale for doing it the way they do.

Not an unexpected loss but sad nonetheless. It’s hard if not impossible to overstate Monty Python’s influence on comedy and comedians. Very much like the Beatles in music.

Sonos owners are pissed. But do they have a right to be? I don’t own any Sonos products so I have no dog in the fight.

I’d definitely take number two and three over number 1. As CNET says, “Clearly, curves and topography were not factored in.”

Fascinating if a little (lot?) scary.

This is an interesting case because, on the face of it, you’d think Apple is entirely in the right in saying that an employee can’t spend time “planning his new startup while on company time at Apple, spending hours on the phone with colleagues who eventually joined the venture.”
