Some amazing images here. And I echo the writer’s two main frustrations – not being able to turn on Night Mode when I want to and the incredibly annoying “little green ghost spots” when shooting points of light at an angle.

I find these kinds of stories much more interesting than what some YouTuber thinks of the Mac Pro.

Various versions of the iPhone is my choice for “personal gadget of the decade.” What’s yours?

I hope it happens sooner rather than later.

None of this tech is “waterproof” but a lot of it is surprisingly very water-resistant (yes – there is a difference). How important is water-resistance to you?

This is what happens when those who don’t understand technology make laws about technology.

This is a truly spectacular list. How many of these products did you buy or buy into?

Keep this in mind when “those people” start banging on about marketshare.

The detail in this is insane.

Not for everyone but if you’re interested in such things, this course is well presented and very interesting.

I don’t believe a word of this but I post it if only to get the opinion of The Loop’s readers. Is this even slightly plausible or is it yet another example of the Apple rumour mill playing a game of “Telephone” and getting it all wrong?

Such great stories.

This is not good. Given the desperation of this, I wouldn’t expect Flickr to be around in its present state in two years.

You may have to be an F1 fan to really find this funny but I thought it was hilarious.

This is terrifying on so many levels.

There’s no doubt this has the potential to be really schmaltzy but I’m hoping it’s not.

Not necessarily a site you’d read over a glass of wine late at night but it’s still great to see Apple saying, “This is who we are and what we stand for.”

This guide to hating Williams-Sonoma (which, BTW, is a store I love!) is something I look forward to every year.

Looking forward to watching this.

This looks utterly ridiculous and I can’t wait to watch it.

Warning: There are several very disturbing images in this post but all of them are powerful, important images.

Things are never as bad as we think nor as good as we hoped.

This is the most wonderfully silly thing you’re likely to read all week.

Great deal if you’ve never signed up although, while the story says resubscribers can get three months free and the app says “Get up to four months of free Apple Music,” when I went to redeem the code I was only offered a one month free “Apple Music individual membership.” so YMMV.

What a great Christmas present to all of us Far Side fans who have missed Larson’s particular brand of silliness these past 24 years.

The apparently-out-of-retirement Mossberg is a good candidate to take a clearheaded look at the “Tim Cook at Apple” decade. I wouldn’t agree with everything Uncle Walt says but there’s no arguing he knows what he’s talking about.

Reading these kinds of stories is both fascinating and scary.

Full disclosure: 6 Underground is not a good movie. It is a Micheal Bay movie, for better or worse. But the fact that Reynolds filmed this Instagram bit last year and it made it into the finished film is hilarious and so on point for Reynolds.

I have the interest and desire to do this (although, because of where we live, we never get packages stolen from our porch) but I don’t have one-tenth of one percent of the ingenuity and design chops this guy has.

This is a great idea. If I was in the market for a “small” DSLR, I’d definitely look at participating in this program.
