Good luck. I’ve always been a fan of TAG Heuer’s design but I can’t afford an Apple Watch let alone a TAG Heuer with prices starting at £1,495 ($1,883 US) for the stainless steel model and £1,950 ($2,456 US) for titanium. But they do look good.

The NHL has also suspended its season. With the 2020 Major League Baseball season scheduled to begin on March 26, what do you think the odds are of Opening Day actually happening on that date?

I was never a Beastie Boys fan but I’ll definitely watch this documentary about them.

And it’s not just tech workers. Give a thought to the folk working in the service industries – hotel staff, fast food workers, waiters – people who rely on not only hourly wages but are required to show up in physical locations to receive those wages. And many of them have little to no benefits, medical or otherwise.

We’ve gone from “Hey would you mind….” to “please do this…” to “Holy crap just stay home!”

I had no idea there was any such thing as “ideal glass” and the line, “Glass is a liquid in suspended animation” kind of blew my mind. It’s one of those things you know but didn’t know.

I never give up accurate data without getting something in return. You want me to fill out your survey? Pay me. No, not enter me into a draw. Straight up PAY ME.

This is an awesome and terrifying responsibility. Granted, it’s a puff piece but there are interesting tibits in it.

The cat and mouse game between Apple and law enforcement continues.

Apple has been very clear on its stance with regard to this issue.

Italy has been devastated by the spread of the virus.

Lots of information here including models and forecasting, fighting misinformation, and tools for scientists.

As usual, the New York Times makes pronouncements and assumptions not applicable to “most people.” I’ve worked from home for 26+ years. No, it’s not for everyone but many, many people can and should make it work.

Saying the best pixel editor on the Mac isn’t Photoshop is a bold statement.

More good news/bad news. Airfare out of Vancouver is often ridiculously expensive but right now, flights to NYC are under $230. Very tempting.

As always, it depends on your needs. Personally, I could certainly do 50% of my editing on an iPad Pro in the field but I’d still have/want to come back to a 27″ iMac to finish. YMMV

If AirPods Pro actually worked like this, I’d never turn Transparency mode off.

This is a real good news/bad news situation for Apple – sales are up but they can’t meet demand for the same reason sales are up.

Hopefully, real action can come out of this meeting and not just photo ops.

Is this only for US-based users of Apple News (not Apple News+)? I don’t see any such banner at the top of my News app on the desktop or on iOS.

I’ve always loved watching glassblowing but had never thought about the need for specialty scientific glass.

This is the tip of a global iceberg. More bad news will come.

Take a look at some of these live cam shots of Italian tourist hotspots. The Roman Colosseum, the Piazza San Marco in Venice, Florence’s Piazza della Signoria, the Trevi Fountain. Tourist locations that are normally packed, even in late winter, are almost empty. This summer may well become known as “The Summer without Tourists.”

As a motorcyclist, this is an event we would say had a “very high pucker factor”! The rider filming was going more than 96mph when he saw the oncoming bikes. The oncoming bikes were likely at that speed or higher. All were very lucky to get through it alive.

They have browser plugins for Chrome and Safari. I’m going to give it a try for a while.

Last week, the county recommended this step. Things have gotten so much worse so fast, they feel the need now to actually ban the activities. While WWDC isn’t technically affected by this three-week ban, it may have a chilling effect on those wanting to attend.

More sleazy companies doing more sleazy things.

This might be the most ambitious “shot on iPhone” video ever undertaken.

I love stories of these kinds of shots. They often include the skill of the photographer, great timing and not just a little bit of luck.

I like a good hockey fight as much as any other red-blooded Canadian but this was mayhem.
