Apple just posted the videos to their Youtube page

For a guy like me who sits in front of a computer all day, every day, this is a bigger and more interesting deal to me than the new hardware announced today.

This is the most controversial part of Apple’s announcements today. But they signalled, very clearly, that this is what they think the future will be. Keep this in mind when, next year, they offer wireless charging.

If you liked the original Apple ear pods, you’ll probably like these. But sadly for me, they never fit in my ears properly. And, at $159, they won’t fit my wallet either.

For the dual-lens camera alone I say, shut up and take my money.

I can’t wait for the reviews of these. The Air pods are a non-starter for me.

These two games are going to be a lot of fun!

This Nike partnership is weird and interesting. Many runners complain about so many changes in the program and that it’s often confusing. But Apple and Nike keep trying.

So – will you get one?

I read this on Twitter over the weekend and couldn’t wrap my mind around it. As Kottke says, “Did anyone learn this in school? I sure didn’t. How do we all know then?” Good question.

The course is a little heavy on the tech but definitely interesting and informative.

If you play this song in my presence, I will smash whatever device this sound from hell is coming out of.

Segall thinks more about this stuff than I do (and knows a hell of a lot more about it) so it doesn’t bother me nearly as much but he makes a good point. The S models always have had the perception of being “not as good”.

Sad but remarkable video. I don’t know if the elephants are grieving in the human sense but they are certainly acknowledging the passing of their matriarch.

Pundits keep trying to say that the iPhone will take over from the DSLR. That’s ridiculous. But the iPhone continues to be a very capable camera for the vast majority of people. Apple will make it even better on Wednesday.

If you need a video to blow your mind and test your speakers, this one should do the trick.

Apple on Saturday added two new playlists to its Apple Music service, which are both based on your listening habits on the service. […]

iCloud is a great idea – in theory. In practice, there are far too many issues for far too many people.

This is another of those DO IT NOW! security updates.

Snapseed is my favorite iOS photo editing tool. It’s remarkably powerful yet still very easy to use.

Well done.

Matching the low-profile floating design from our Apple Watch Dock, iPhone + Apple Watch Dock adds functionality with a place for your iPhone. A combo dock ensures less clutter in a beautiful package.

This looks really nice.

You’re welcome Samsung users.

Ireland’s cabinet agreed on Friday to join Apple in appealing against a multi-billion-euro back tax demand that the European Commission has imposed on the iPhone maker, despite misgivings among independents who back the fragile coalition.

The EU clearly overstepped here.

The sensors, which rest just under the ball’s laces, can capture information like velocity, acceleration and distance, and send that info back to computer monitors in just half a second. The League has been using the sensors during preseason games this summer, but hasn’t yet decided if the sensors will be used in the regular season.

It is amazing how much data leagues and teams can get.

In the previous article I demonstrated how to make an element rotate to follow the position of a cursor or a touch on the screen. At the time, I explained that the technique was not necessarily limited to a single element: in this article, I’ll show how to apply the code to two elements simultaneously, in the form of eyes that follow the mouse / touch position.

Who doesn’t love googly eyes.

He attached a tiny remote controlled tugboat to his Kayak to tow him around.

This is awesome.

Following reports of exploding batteries in its latest smartphone, Samsung is expected to announce an “unprecedented” recall of the Galaxy 7 Note less than a month after it first debuted.

Be safe Samsung people.
