Anything good and bad about Apple Music lays at the feet of these people. So when they talk about the issues involved, it’s always an interesting discussion.

This is a big deal to professional shooters and anyone who shoots in RAW but edits on their iOS device. It will also bring a lot of changes to apps in iOS that allow you to edit photos. And it means that, undoubtedly, RAW capture will be available in the next version of the iPhone and iPad.

I love these awards because many showcase just how gorgeous apps can be.

Privacy advocates are really pouring over this but so far, it sounds like Apple has found an interesting solution to the conundrum of wanting access to more data but not identifying customers from that data.

That was quick.

If you’re not a developer and just can’t wait until the Fall to get your hands on the latest Apple operating systems, here’s how to grab the public betas in July. It should go without saying that you shouldn’t install these on a daily work machine and you shouldn’t install them without having a very recent backup. And if you do, please don’t bitch at developers when some of your apps stop working.

This is a little thing but it shows Apple is removing the hooks these apps had in the OS and making them stand alone. So we can delete them to our heart’s content.

This is a really interesting article that makes the point that, in a global economy, it’s almost impossible to make global products in just one country.

Basically, anything powered by the second-generation A5 chips and the iPad 2’s A5X chip is the new minimum requirement set by iOS 10. For the iPhone, that means the iPhone 5 and newer.

These are the two videos Apple played during this morning’s WWDC. The second one will really tug at your heartstrings.

The Apple WWDC keynote has just wrapped up. If you missed the video, Apple will likely have it available on iTunes and the Apple TV in a few hours. In the meantime, here is a wrap-up about the things Apple announced this morning. Which ones are you most excited by?

Does this mean LinkedIn will get more or less annoying?

She started coding at seven. When I was nine, I couldn’t even spell “programming”, let alone do it.

It’s hard to argue when the color is described as “sewage-tinted” and “death”. Why would you use such a color? Read the article to find out the very interesting reason.

I absolutely love the Isle of Man TT – it’s on my motorcycle bucket list – but it’s terrifying watching these videos. Sadly, riders die on a regular basis in the weeks of the TT. Luckily, this rider was relatively unscathed.

Dammit. Now I want a camera drone.

This is an interesting solution but it’s not for everyone – you have to give up a certain amount of information to advertisers. That being said, I ordered my 20 prints fairly easily from the app on my phone. I’ll be interested to see how they come out.

There’s little chance of many other countries matching Norway’s timeline for any number of reasons but, going forward, governmental action similar to this might be required in order to make a significant leap in electric vehicle sales.

It’s an interesting question. I had to write out a sentence a few weeks ago using a pen and paper (probably for the first time in years) and had to concentrate to remember how to write out certain letters. In the age of computers and voice-assisted interfaces, do we still need cursive?

While O’Beirne “designed and led the development of Apple’s cartography” and therefore might be considered biased, this is nonetheless a (very) long and interesting discussion of the differences and similarities of the two apps. I’m directionally-challenged so these kinds of discussions are really interesting to me. I still prefer a dedicated GPS device but occasionally need to use one of several iOS apps in order to find my way around and can see some huge differences in the way these two apps present information.

Weirdly interesting article about the lengths Apple is going to to ensure the landscaping of the new campus is just as precise and groundbreaking as the building itself.

There’s no doubt the vast majority of us learned what we know of world geography from a Mercator map but this online tool shows just how inaccurate our impressions of the size of various countries really is.

I was able to hang out with and interview Ali’s friend, photographer, and biographer, Howard Bingham, at a Macworld Expo in 1998. He told me of his friendship with Ali but also his photography and how much fun it was to shoot the champ. I wish I knew about photography then what I know now. I could have asked Howard much better questions. While Bingham didn’t shoot any of these linked shots, you can see a similar style – dictated not only because of its time but also because of its subject matter.

When I heard the news that he was sick and in the hospital, I knew it was just a matter of time. He was an amazing man in so many ways who lived a life that was full and full of controversy but you got the impression he wouldn’t have it any other way. I met Ali at a Macworld Expo in the late 1990s. I don’t have many heroes in my life but he was definitely one of them. I was in awe of the man and I’m never in awe of other human beings. I had tears in my eyes (just as I do now writing this) as I told him how honored I was to meet him. He didn’t speak but did that familiar boxer’s thing of lightly tapping me on the jaw with his fist. I wish I had a picture of that moment.

Seven mountains. Unfathomable. I just got back from a 30 minute hike and I want to lie down and die.

There are widespread outages being reported. iTunes, the App Store, Apple TV, etc., are all being affected.

Apple hasn’t yet announced whether or not the WWDC Keynote will be livestreamed but it has in the past so I’m going to assume it will be for this event as well. I like to play the game of “Spot Jim Dalrymple in the crowd” at these keynotes. To be fair, he’s not hard to find. Waldo he’s not.

I’ve always liked mophie’s product offerings and I like the look of this system. But at $100, I don’t know that I need/want this product just yet. It certainly points the way to the future of charging our iPhones, though. Thanks to my friend Loren Finkelstein for the link.

As a kid, I was a huge fan of science fiction and my local library had a bunch of these old stories. In checking out the list, I see I’ve read about 25% of them. Some of them don’t stand up because of writing style but if you’re looking for some stuff to put on you summer reading list, you can’t go too far wrong grabbing a few of the listed books.

The Brits do some very odd things. This is high on that list.
