I’d be up there for days, mostly because I’d be paralyzed with fear. Cable got some great shots.

Somebody buy these for Jim, willya?

The recent botnet attacks have called into question the security of all our various internet of Things (ioT) devices, and rightfully so. Those attacks happened because people like you and me had routers, webcams and other gizmos in our homes that were not properly secured. Some of those security issues are fixable by general users, but many are not.

Very interesting article from Dave Hamilton.

Good to see Apple extending the reach and places where you can get support and assistance.

A U.S. judge on Tuesday rejected Airbnb’s request to block a San Francisco law that forbids the home-rental company from taking bookings from hosts who have not registered their home with the city.

I love stories like this. He’s had this guitar for 40 years.

Ireland’s government will this week formally submit its appeal against the European Commission’s multi-billion-euro demand for back taxes from Apple, Finance Minister Michael Noonan said on Tuesday.

Not a big surprise, but good to see.

This is far too nerdy for me to attempt but if it works like it does in the video, it’s pretty cool.

I really enjoy Om’s photographs. The fact he has such great things to say about the iPhone 7 camera says a lot, especially considering he has a number of high-end cameras at his disposal.

Good rundown from MacRumors on the changes in the newest developer beta.

Compressors are so important in mixing—I use them quite a bit in a variety of ways, depending on the instrument or what I’m trying to achieve on an output channel.

The biggest overhaul of the app in nearly four years. It’s the Gmail you know and love, with a fresh new look, sleeker transitions and some highly-requested features.

If this doesn’t have you screaming, “RUN! FASTER!”, you’re not human. (How do they shoot this!?) Can’t wait to watch the full series.

Hard to argue with this list. But I know some of you will anyway.

Obviously, this won’t put anything to rest as everyone’s mileage will vary but it’s an interesting article regardless.

If they pull this off, and it’s a huge if, it will be remarkable.

This is so clever and so wonderfully demented.

Along with the price drops on accessories announced yesterday comes these incredible savings on displays. Seriously tempted by that 5K price.

I’m sure a lot of you already knew this but I didn’t even know there was a Grab app on my Mac.

Neil Young’s music is back in Apple Music—this is a happy day. Young removed his music from streaming services in July 2015 because he didn’t like the quality of music. I guess things have changed. Whatever happened, I’m glad he’s back.

If you’ve heard me talk about music creation in the past, you know I love Universal Audio—in fact, they are my favorite pro music company. They care about their users and the products they release.

• API 2500 Bus Compressor
• Chandler Limited Zener Limiter
• A/DA STD-1 Stereo Tapped Delay
• Townsend Labs Sphere Microphone System
• Unison for Ampeg SVT Bass Amps
• Console 2 software for Apollo FireWire

A huge update from UA.
