It goes without saying, don’t send any money to that Bitcoin account.

I went out last night with the 14 year old and we could see Neowise with an old pair of binoculars. We’ll try and get some photos this weekend.

Along with deals from Verizon and Best Buy, as well as their own in-app offers, Apple seems to really be pushing to get more users for Apple News and subscribers to News+. Personally, I don’t think it’s going to work without an overhaul of the app and service.

Yet another streaming service launches. Will you sign up? Right now, I wouldn’t if only because there’s no content on it that I want to watch that I haven’t already seen.

Ignoring the tortured headline, this is great news.

Very helpful for those of you who want to take part in the settlement but no longer have the eligible iPhone.

When I watched it, I saw four bears feeding and hundreds of salmon trying to get upstream.

Just one more indication that things are not getting better in the US.

Now that the public beta is available and the full release of OS 14 is around the proverbial corner, lots of folks want to know how to use the new whiz-bang features of the latest version of iOS. Widgets look like they might be quite useful.

The answer isn’t as cut and dried as the article makes it seem. There are lots of reasons for seniors to use the internet but there are just as many valid reasons for them to avoid it.

This looks very silly and might be the only way to get Americans to watch soccer.

Definitely going out this evening with my son to see if we can spot this tonight.

The max you’ll get is $25 and this is good only for US owners of the affected devices.

Apple: The Underdogs are back, navigating their new normal with lots of unknowns but one reliable constant: Apple helps unleash their creativity and productivity even when they’re working from home. It’s still a world of deadlines, meetings, group chats, conference … Continued

It’s unlikely that my two lost iPods would be in this stuff.

Good to see these units won’t be reserved for Apple employees but will end up in the general housing pool and aimed at those most in need.

I’ve read various pundits saying this transition will have little to no effect on Intel. But Gassée argues it may create a seismic shift at Intel.

Sorry, Apple. Nothing significant has changed with News+. There’s no need for another trial subscription for me.

I have definitely been guilty of leaving my laptop plugged in for days on end.

Looking beyond all the fake outrage over Hank’s comments over the weekend, I’m really looking forward to this film. My home town of Halifax, Nova Scotia was a key staging ground for these WWII Atlantic convoys.

The world can certainly use Larson’s brand of weird and funny right now.

For its time, Flash was an amazing piece of technology but it fairly quickly got turned into a beast we all hated to varying degrees. Few of us will mourn its passing.

Welcome news for those of us who blow through our data caps each month.

Morricone, who recently passed away, wasn’t just a composer of scores for spaghetti Westerns. You’ll recognize many of these cues from a wide variety of films.

Yet another reason to not trust Amazon reviews.

The Mac media is having a field day with this interview, portraying it as if Hanks is pissed at Apple. But in a long interview where he only mentions Apple briefly, it’s obvious he’s just teasing and not serious about it. I do get his point about being “heartbroken” that his sub-hunting moving is being limited to small screens. I would much rather see a movie like this in a theater.

Amazon is a remarkable success story that may destroy retail commerce through market dominance.

I’ve used the site for years but always with a sense of dread.

If you’re trying to decide between the two, Engst can help.

I’m sure that kind of world is coming fairly soon and maybe I’m just a curmudgeon but there is no way I would do this. I’ve lost/forgotten my phone too many times to allow something as important as my passport to reside on it. Now, if it means I’d have my passport or driver’s license handy but use the iPhone for ease of use, then I can see that. But I would never let it replace (as in, leave at home) those things. Hell, I still carry around credit cards for those still all-too-frequent times when I can’t use my iPhone.
