This is funnier than it had any right to be.

Apple can always do more but they have made great strides in the areas of accessibility for any number of its customers. And accessibility offers benefits to all users, disabled or not.

OK now I want to go to Rhayader, Wales just to meet this little guy.

I didn’t even know about the massive fires throughout much of Africa.

Check out the free eBook from NASA titled “Earth at Night.”

I love and grab this eclectic and odd collection of “Christmas” music from DJ Riko each year.

It’s not just your imagination. It’s definitely gotten worse.

This happened in my “backyard.” If you’ve ever visited Vancouver and seen seaplanes landing and taking off from the harbour, this is likely one of the companies whose planes you saw. Congratulations to them for this amazing accomplishment. Would you fly on an electric plane?

I’m a very adventurous eater and I’d have no problem trying this. How about you?

I don’t want to ruin the story but how much would you pay for this?

I take the SAG Awards more seriously than the Golden Globes in general but also specifically when it comes to the particular categories where they overlap. SAG has more than 160,000 potential voters while the Hollywood Foreign Press Association’s Golen Globes are voted on by a minuscule 90 people.

While there is some valid criticism of Apple Arcade, there’s no doubt that for most game players, it’s an incredible value.

Really interesting technical discussion about the innards of the Mac Pro.

I absolutely loved my Razr. It still might be the phone that is the most tactile and the most fun to absentmindedly play with and spin in your hands like a fidget spinner.

This is a battle that is far from over and one I fear these companies will lose if only because of the ignorance of the members of Congress and the population in general.

While know-it-all pundits avail themselves of the opportunity to take potshots at Apple over being “out of touch,” almost every one of them seem to be oblivious to the fact that this is not a consumer-level machine. It is a high-end machine for professionals and is priced accordingly.

I personally know two scientists and one video guy who are salivating over this machine. They’ll be maxing it out and happy to do so because they know they can work faster and better and make more money over the next 12 months than they would otherwise. Saying, as Macworld does, “A maxxed-out Mac Pro costs more than a 2020 Corvette convertible!” is utterly ridiculous. Lots of things cost less than a maxxed-out Mac Pro. But lots of things cost more as well.

Pundits should take some time to talk to Apple’s target market for this machine. Few of them blink at the price. They just want to know, “Does it work as advertised? Yes? I’ll buy it.”

I hate the subscription model as much as anyone but given this blog post, I completely understand why Iconfactory, a well respected and trusted Mac/iOS developer, feels it needs to go this route. The best news is the subscription for Linea Sketch 3 will only be $10/year. And, if you buy/bought the app in 2019 (it’s only $5), you’ll get a year of the new version for free.

When I was a kid, I loved Isaac Asimov’s view of the future. As an adult, I understand and expect Gibson’s brilliant writing to be more representative of it.

Great list. Hard to argue with many of them.

I saw this email and thought, “Oh cool!” Then I realized I’d have to sell significant body parts to afford one.

I’m betting nothing actually gets done until there is a major security breach.

#HairLove, an animated short film from @MatthewACherry, tells a touching story about a father learning to do his daughter’s hair for the first time. pic.twitter.com/g18uHroJwK— Sony Pictures Animation (@SonyAnimation) December 5, 2019 I’m not crying. You’re crying.

As is so often the case, the media set its hair on fire over this issue instead of simply waiting for a reasonable response from Apple.

Agarwal has done it again – created a website that compels you to keep clicking and clicking and clicking. Great stuff.

The New York to Los Angeles Cannonball Record is now an insane 27.5 hours. Now, there’s no way any of us would ever condone doing such a thing but that’s still pretty “cool” in a completely illegal kind of way.

There’s no doubt affiliate links blur the lines of propriety.

I’m glad I’m nowhere near fit enough or interested enough or wealthy enough to try to climb Everest.

Please tell me other cities have an equivalent to our Reindeer city bus.

Apple’s latest “Shot on iPhone 11 Pro” spot is a “cinematic snowball fight.” I prefer the behind the scenes video.

I like Wirecutter and read their reviews for things I know nothing about but mostly for helping me to narrow down options. I don’t obsessively buy exactly what they recommend in a given category.
