In our “digital age”, we forget (or never knew) about how things used to be done. While there’s no doubt the new method is better, the old method is fascinating.

I really like the Midnight ad and the music on the other two is great. The usual well done ads from Apple.

I think this is an (understandably) overly optimistic timeline. I don’t think the obstacles – personal, financial, infrastructure, governmental – will be cleared as fast as he seems to believe. Although, as a motorcyclist, self-driving and therefore theoretically safer cars are something I want as soon as possible.

This was such a fun show to do. I always have fun with Gruber, but this one was especially great.

The lawsuit by Jonathan Strobel may be the first in the United States by a Samsung phone user against the South Korean company over a battery defect linked to the Note 7.

You knew it was coming and here it is. The lawsuit said the man had severe burns on his legs caused by the Note 7.

So, on the same day that it launched the new phone, Apple HR chief Denise Young Smith spent an hour with Recode responding to the issues raised in the articles as well as discussing the significant diversity challenges faced by Apple and other Silicon Valley companies.

Backups are so important and Carbon Copy Cloner is one of the best.

Federal consumer safety regulators on Thursday formally recalled 1 million Galaxy Samsung Note 7 smartphones after dozens of users reported the device caught fire while charging.

These things are clearly a hazard. How do you trust their next product?

Good, funny read about the perception of Apple’s new AirPods.

This is so funny.

Hajek screams in his piece, “SO WHY DID THIS NOT HAPPEN?” There are any number of reasons, most likely for simplicity’s sake in their first iteration. If they prove to be popular (and, even though I won’t be buying them, I think they will be), we’ll see colour matched AirPods in their next version. But, then again, there are no black EarPods so maybe we’ll never see them.

Complete fluff interview but you can’t expect in depth on morning television.

You can now travel the future in Pittsburgh.

These are the kinds of reviews I’ve been looking for — from professional photographers. Definitely check out the video if only for the incredible images of the mountain gorillas. Thanks very much to Dave Mark and Brian Smith for the link.

I can’t help but smile every time I think about how Apple Watch has helped me over the past year. I’m healthier, more aware, and I can communicate easily, all using one device strapped to my wrist. […]

First came Sports Illustrated and then ESPN with their results of using the iPhone 7 Plus to shoot images. These from Outside magazine might be the ones most reflective of the kind of shots we “ordinary” folks might expect.

Straight from the proverbial horse’s mouth.

Number 4 and number 6 are incredible shots.

Well, that’s one way to solve the problem.

This is great stuff.

Check out the list of the finalists. You can only pick three to be inducted. According to the induction criteria (“the toy’s icon status, its staying power over multiple generations, whether it fosters learning or creativity through play, and innovation”), who would you vote for? I’d pick Dungeons & Dragons, coloring books and the swing.

This is all kinds of terrifying and an amazing example of technology at work.

It wouldn’t be Update Day without some issues that affect a small percentage of users. It brings home the point I’m constantly having to make – don’t update your device OS unless you have a recent backup of it.

I’m actually looking forward to playing with this more than I am with iOS 10.

Those of us with varying degrees of failing eyesight will greatly appreciate the new and improved Magnifier.

This was sadly predictable.

Have fun with your friends and celebrate the awesomeness of some iconic guitars and basses with the Leo Collection. 50 different styles and colors available, rendered in beautiful detail. If you have friends who like music, they’ll love the amazing selection of electrics, acoustics, and basses. A quick tap on the orientation toggle, and you can even swap from right to left-handed models, for all the south paws out there.

Everyone needs some guitar stickers.

This is just one of many updates you will see today and in the next few days as developers roll out support for various aspects of iOS 10. For photographers, you’ll see many camera apps implementing the new RAW support.

Settle in. This review is 31 pages long. It even has closing credits.

After meeting with Apple following its iPhone event last week, I’ve been using a jet black iPhone 7 and a black iPhone 7 Plus. I’ve also been using the new AirPods wireless headphones with a number of devices. What strikes me about the new devices is how Apple is so meticulous with the details of its products. These devices, in conjunction with the software they’re running, truly show Apple’s commitment to the user experience. […]
