USAToday: Stung by criticism that Twitter has allowed harassment and abuse to spread unchecked and under growing pressure from Wall Street to deliver growth, CEO Jack Dorsey has pledged “a completely new approach to abuse.” Twitter’s vice president of engineering … Continued

I think this show is in the top five of all time best. I still watch it in its entirety every few years. It tailed off in the last few seasons but it was always watchable.

Unless you are one of those fans who watched the six plus hours of pre-show, you might not have seen all the commercials and their associated pre-game teasers.

I’d heard rumors of this and was interested to see how they would pull it off. Looks like it went really well.

For many of you, this might be an old familiar story but, on Super Bowl Sunday, it’s still interesting to read how the “greatest commercial ever made” might never have been broadcast.

I still remember watching a segment in a documentary about this fish when I was a kid. So, of course, my brothers and I ran around spitting on each other.

This is just a promotional video for Pelican but the assembly process is interesting. Like most photographers, I’m a big fan of Pelican Cases.

I don’t know how “successful” the ad was for Apple but, re-watching it again after all these years certainly brought back the creepy factor of the ad.

The restrictions affect the tech sector in a huge way. If it continues, Apple will have issues with WWDC in a few months.

Seeing this in person is definitely on my bucket list. Until then, watch the video and marvel at the power of nature.

This weekend is the proverbial “Big Game”. It’s no secret that a large number of people are more interested in the advertising than they are the football. We all know which one is number one, right?

I have literally dozens of image editing apps on my iPhone to adjust photos but Snapseed remains my favorite.

I still remember my first jump off the ten meter (approx 33 feet) tower at a public pool. I was ten years old and I was utterly terrified.

I am completely incompetent, almost dangerous, when it comes to using tools. I wouldn’t even attempt a DIY project without a lot of handholding. This might be just that kind of service, except for the fact it’s not available in Canada.

As the article said, this won’t replace Photoshop completely but if your needs are specific and you don’t require the full power of Photoshop, this might be a good alternative for digital artists.

Even if we didn’t find ourselves in these challenging times for accuracy in the media, this is still good advice.

Give Patel props for giving his wife a platform. It also confirms what I’ve always suspected about curved screen TVs.

The “sexy” headline notwithstanding, the interview is an interesting look at a particular style of photography and the power of the iPhone coupled with an in-depth knowledge of the camera and photography in general.

A friend of mine used to be the “encoding Guy” at Apple back in the early days of the iTunes store. He described encoding as “a Black Art. You don’t have to kill a goat at midnight under a full moon to get it right but it helps”. Griffiths does a good job at explaining what happens when you encode, why it happens and what to expect, quality and file size wise.

The advice, while perhaps specific to business, fits in with a lot of our personal lives, too.

With all the political insanity going on, I really appreciate these kinds of stories that take me out of the day to day crap we’re going through. The images of theses planets circling HR 8799 is increadible.

This is a really interesting article. It would be even more interesting if I was smart enough to understand half of it.

I could never make the iPad my only computer but this article has some good advice for those of you who can.

I was constantly hitting Command-Q instead of Command-W in Safari until I reassigned the shortcut.

I’ve also been a beta tester of Setapp. I’ll reserve my opinion for my podcast but it’s an interesting idea. It kind of brings back memories of the “good old days” of Mac Shareware back in the day.

While the interview is a bit fluffy, it’s always interesting to hear anyone talk about the now iconic design of the Apple Retail Stores.

I love Pixelmator and this is such a great deal, I tried buying it before I realized I already own it. No word on when this deal is up so grab it while you can.

I feel for the victims of these accidents but Apple can’t be held responsible for the actions of other drivers who ignore common sense and the law.
