These promos are always so well done, they make me want one even though I don’t need one.

Along with the new iPhones, Apple has finally started orders for this keyboard. It will be interesting to see what reviewers think of it.

Apple on Wednesday announced the 2nd generation of its iPhone SE, a smaller, more affordable iPhone for Apple customers. Pre-orders for the $399 iPhone SE will begin on Friday, April 17 with orders shipping on April 24.

While I’m not a huge Rolling Stones fan, that logo turned out to be brilliant and unmistakably theirs.

If your IT department or your employer is forcing you to use Zoom, shame on them. But here are some tips to make it as secure as possible.

I watched this as a kid and was equally terrified for their safety and fascinated by what was going on.

This show is another Phoebe Waller-Bridge creation and it’s brilliant.

Yo-Yo Ma just posted this beautiful rendition on Twitter.

If you’re a fan of the brilliant TV series, then you’ll really enjoy this emotional roller coaster that honestly had more punch than the series for me.

We’re back after a three week hiatus and we’re joined once again by Rene Ritchie. Rene has some big news to talk about this week, and we delve into the streaming services I’ve been trying out while in quarantine.

I’ve honestly never gotten the appeal of Weird Al. While I admire his longevity and ingenuity, his music has never done anything for me.

Even though it’s opt-in, I predict that when this comes online in May, it will be a controversial move.

I love the shot of Oprah with her MacBook propped up on a bunch of books like a normal person.

If you have young children and are having trouble keeping them occupied, this might help.

My wife is Australian so coral is near and dear to her heart. It’s a simplistic looking game but the data it delivers is important.

Every expert says we need more testing. This will help.

If you haven’t watched any Apple TV+ content, this is a good sampler of what’s on offer. Shame they didn’t include “The Morning Show” though.

I love Hodinkee’s obsessiveness with watches. The article also includes an interesting discussion of the different Twilights – not the YA novels but of sunrise and sunsets.

To be clear, this is a patent application only. This is not a product Apple has announced or even will announce. All the stories written about it are speculation based on the patent application. But what if?

First of all, no, they can’t. And secondly, would you want them to by this method?

Just for the fun of it (or if you’ve got a 14 year old home to entertain), this is not a bad list to go through.

My 14-year-old is constantly asking for apps in this category. Thank God for the App Store Family Plan that allows me to approve or deny his downloads.

It’s interesting to see how much of the media is treating these numbers as just a horse race without acknowledging the huge advantage Disney has over Netflix, Apple TV+ and other services – a massive, well known and much loved back catalog. A cheap price point doesn’t hurt either.

Apple is in the same position as much of Corporate America – just trying to figure out how to keep a company running in the face of a worldwide pandemic.

This is a clever hack to get around Apple’s prohibition on third-party complications.

I hate that kind of weaselly PR speak. If you are affected by this, there are some options still available to you such as using AirPlay or an HDMI cable to connect.

Apple announced back in February it wouldn’t make its Q2 earnings range due to the coronavirus pandemic but this has been a brutal quarter for Apple and the numbers to be announced will reflect that.

I find these kinds of stories interesting, if a little “inside baseball,” for a lot of people. One source is suspect and offers nothing but opinion. The other uses the old trope of “sources have told us…” One of these stories must be wrong. But, who cares? For arguments’ sake, what do you think?

Here’s what you need to know – use it every chance you get because it’s safer and more secure than anything you’ll use with Facebook or Google.

If I weren’t already a member, I’d get the free trial of Amazon Prime just to binge Fleabag and The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel.
