The Dalrymple Report: Apple product security and stealing MacBooks

Written by

Apple is clamping down on product security, a move the company hopes will stop leaks about its future products. A brother and sister stole millions of dollars of MacBooks from Stanford, and got caught, of course. A cool video takes us down memory lane with some old Apple products.

Follow the link. Fish around. This is eerie, bordering on creepy. But interesting. Feels like the seeds of a game.

I captured the Iceland volcano eruption from up close

Written by

Years ago, when I was young and stupid, I put on my bestest hiking books and trekked over the lava flow on Hawaii’s most active volcano, Mount Kilauea.

There were ten foot tall lava tubes to climb through, and places where you could see glowing red under the massive lava boulders on which I was standing (which easily could have collapsed, the red was molten lava). There were many plumes of acrid smoke, which turned out to be flares of sulfuric acid. Thrilling, wouldn’t change it, but thinking back, how am I still alive?

Every time I see volcano coverage, I lean in. Never lost the allure. Follow the headline link for some gorgeous photos. Can’t wait until I can travel again.

The Dalrymple Report: RIP HomePod, Intel ads

Written by

Apple discontinued the original HomePod this week. It’s a product I absolutely love and use every day, but I understand the move. Also, Intel debuted some new ads with Justin Long, who Apple used in its “I’m a Mac” ad campaign. These new ads aren’t nearly as good.

Apple Maps now displays COVID-19 vaccination locations

Written by

Apple today updated Apple Maps with COVID-19 vaccination locations from VaccineFinder, a free, online service developed by Boston Children’s Hospital that provides the latest vaccine availability for those eligible at providers and pharmacies throughout the US. Users can find nearby COVID-19 vaccination locations from the Search bar in Apple Maps by selecting COVID-19 Vaccines in the Find Nearby menu or by asking Siri, “Where can I get a COVID vaccination?”

The Apple Maps placecard for each vaccine site will include the operating hours, address, phone numbers, and a link to the provider’s website, where Maps users can learn more about available vaccines and book appointments. The initial rollout includes more than 20,000 locations, with Apple adding more sites in the coming weeks.

Apple is also allowing local businesses to update their placecards to display COVID information, like shopping hours. Incredibly helpful information all within Maps.

Written by

The sound behind five decades of landmark albums, API consoles are legend for good reason. From Stevie Wonder’s Talking Book and Fleetwood Mac’s Rumours, to The Cure’s Pornography and Radiohead’s Hail to the Thief — the mid‑forward punch of API’s classic analog consoles breathe aggressive, multi‑dimensional color into your mixes.

Developed in partnership with API, exclusively for LUNA Recording System, the API Summing Extension emulates the 2520 op‑amp and custom output transformer-based summing amps found in legendary API consoles over the past 50 years — giving your LUNA mixes all the attitude and tone of API’s esteemed analog desks.

I haven’t tried API Summing yet, but I plan to over the holidays.
