Those of us “of a certain age”, will read the title of this and think, “YES! Why is that!?” The answer is more interesting than it has any right to be.

For many people, security is “boring’ but, as we become more and more reliant on our iPhones, it becomes even more important – if no less boring and inconvenient for the average user.

It is one of the most important documents in human history and the process of its care and preservation is fascinating.

Apple rightly toots its own horn here. While the App Store can (and will) deserve criticism from a lot of people, developers and users alike, it’s still the best, most secure way to to get apps on our iOS devices.

The idiots running Twitter continue to make decisions that hurt the platform.

Many know the song. Few know the composer. Even fewer realize he was an immigrant.

What a fascinating story to read on this July 4th. I hope all of our American readers are having a fun, safe holiday.

I never would have guessed that this particular activity was “the most dangerous” world record to try and beat.

I predict Apple will announce they have, once again, made metric buttloads of money.

I knew you could do this but this video of their process is really interesting.

This is one of those things I find most fascinating about Apple – they make acquisitions and decisions that aren’t obvious in the moment but that play out in aggregate over time.

Ellison passed away last week and there are condolences and obituaries of and for him all over the web. But this story encapsulates Ellison for me – a brilliant writer who pissed off almost everyone he came in contact with.

I’m a fair weather soccer fan but am familiar enough with the game to understand why players do it. But the more egregious flops can really take the fun out of watching a game.

Currency in general fascinates me (who doesn’t like money, amirite) especially the lengths countries go to not only differentiate their currency from others (countries and denominations) but also the security measures they put in place and how they are integrated into the look and feel of a their money.

There’s nothing like actually visiting one of these museums but I like showing the 12-year-old some of the exhibits in the Louvre, Smithsonian, and NASA museums.

I guess because I’m the “new” father, this place would freak me out to send my child into (I’d still do it) but my wife said she wouldn’t have a problem letting him play in this “risky” playground. I certainly agree with her when she says similar things to this article – we protect children too much at times.

The slow motion video of this phenomenon is fascinating.

Along with our own look at the public beta, there are a lot of other takes. This one is particularly interesting to me.

Reading the reports about this demo are very interesting but it also seems pretty clear this is a long way off from being a real product.

This puts the lawsuit to bed – until the next time Samsung copies Apple.

Tim Cook is scheduled for 6:05 PM PT today (Monday).

Great piece on the inevitable rise of “Little Vehicles”. Many city residents would be much better served by various combinations of LVs, especially if cities are redesigned away from cars.

This history of (disgusting) wine coolers is actually interesting. Sadly, it seems wine coolers are making a comeback.

I’m one of those customers. The difference in price and availability between Amazon Canada’s offerings and Amazon US is staggering, even when you include the exchange rate.

One of the oddest, most interesting shows I ever saw in Las Vegas was Blue Man many years ago. I’d love to see them again sometime.

I haven’t read Frankenstein since college but I’ve been poking around this annotated edition and I might just make the time to curl up with it over the weekend.

We don’t often post obituaries of animals here but Koko had a profound affect on me as a kid.

I’m a City Kid who has never had any interaction with horses (I’ve touched exactly three in my life and ridden one once for 60 minutes) but they have always fascinated me. This is a great story about the history of these majestic creatures.

I’d bet that $100 VIP tour money that Prince would have hated this. But the man should have had a damn will.

Ahrendts is a very interesting person who I think is first in line as the next CEO of Apple.
