It’s always a little mindboggling to see the effort that goes into these kinds of shots.

I’ve been critical of the lack of additional benefits to users of the Apple Card vs other cards so it’s good to see a few more details from MasterCard that show benefits not mentioned in the past. But they still don’t match up to the Visa cards I use now. For example, the Apple Card does not offer purchase protection and extended warranties for cardholders which, in my opinion, are table stakes for most cards.

While I disagree completely with the reasoning, it’s still interesting to see what anti-Apple Card people might say and think. And, to be clear, I wouldn’t get an Apple Card even if it was offered here in Canada. But that doesn’t mean I don’t think it has value for others.

It’s not the end of Nikon — yet. But they have significant work ahead of them to weather this particular storm.

I’m a complete Olympics junkie so the more sports, the better. New events are Karate, Skateboarding, Sport Climbing, and Surfing.

This young man has come up with a brilliantly simple solution. Whether it can be used commercially is the question.

Like his movies or not, his musical selections are almost always spot on.

Truly hilarious.

That’s a great list of bands.

Many of you may have missed the “good old days” of the drive-in theaters (and today’s movie-going experience is in many ways vastly better) but there was a time when this was the best way to see a movie. We went often when I was a kid in high school, sneaking in friends, beer, and candy in the trunk.

I saw this in the theater during its initial release. You couldn’t pay me to sit through it again.

Some of us certainly did. I’ve been saying for years that all of these services are creating a giant PITA when it comes to finding the things you want to watch.

I posted a different hack on Twitter earlier this week but this one works as well.

As a fellow motorcyclist, doing a single “Iron Butt Day” (1,000 miles in 24 hours) is inconceivable to me. The most I’ve ever done is 800 miles in a day and I was utterly exhausted for two days afterward. Crockett did 1,000 miles a day for 11 consecutive days. 12,998.9 miles.

With Apple putting so much marketing and company effort into differentiating itself on privacy, the company must not only do better than “the other guys,” they must be seen to be doing better than the other guys. this incident is not a good look for the company.

Definitely a bucket list item for me.

Foreign policy via tweets. Hell of a way to run a country.

The majority of us are smart and savvy enough to not fall for this but please remind family and friends Apple will NEVER call you out of the blue and they should NEVER answer or respond to any calls, texts or emails purporting to be from Apple if they haven’t specifically requested.

I love the competition between Apple and Spotify. It makes both services better and brings out the best in both companies.

Tech’s worst held secret is officially out. That sound you hear is Qualcomm yelling, “DAMMIT!”

The camera is a hugely important part of the iPhone and Apple has done a lot of work in making it an amazing device to capture images. But it will always come down to the skill, and sometimes luck, of the photographer. But with a camera that is so easy to use and can capture stunning pictures, it’s even easier to “get the shot.”

There’s a link to check if your personal data was exposed. If it was, you’ll file a claim and will get $125 or 4 years of free credit monitoring.

For young me, HyperCard really was magical.

If you’ve got a “fancy” TV, turn off motion smoothing now.

As I said in my newsletter this AM, these are exactly the results I would expect. The Apple Watch ECG feature isn’t a toy or a gimmick.

I was lucky enough to have a podcast listener invite me on a tour of Pixar during one Macworld Expo. It was a fascinating place.

I remember this “unlimited” ticket story when I was a kid and dreamed about having the ability to fly anywhere, any time.

It really is one of the most awful CG shots ever put on screen.

There’s no doubt these sites should be protected but getting international cooperation isn’t going to be easy.

I wish my stepson was in town so he could watch this with me.
