As the article explains, solving our traffic congestion issues by building more roads won’t work. We’ve got to find ways to get cars off the road, not make it easier/better for them.

The tracker keeps up with developments and announcements from Amazon, Microsoft, Foxconn, Facebook, Google, Samsung, and Apple.

Delightfully nerdy story.

One of the big issues with the “advice” of “just stay home,” is that many people, especially in retail, can’t afford to. This is a big gesture on Apple’s part and shows a lot of trust in their employees.

I love Scott’s video channel. When I drank bottled water years ago, I always chose Dasani. I knew it was just tap water but didn’t care. I didn’t know it wasn’t available in Britain.

I won’t be surprised if these cancellations spread to other areas or last into April and May.

This is an updated support article from Apple but I’ve always used Clorox Wipes on my water-resistant iPhones.

This site will get shut down in 3….2….1….

It’s only a matter of time before FIDO happens but it won’t be a quick or easy fix.

Really interesting article, whether you want to run a restaurant or not.

While reports of its death are greatly exaggerated, RSS isn’t a particularly popular piece of tech. But NetNewsWire is well done and well thought out. If you need a full-featured RSS reader on the Mac or your iOS device, you won’t find a better one than NetNewsWire.

I’m not really much of a “where there’s smoke, there’s fire” kind of guy so I ignore most of the rumours but this switch seems inevitable.

This will be the same story for other smartphone vendors as well as just about any sector that relies on China for sales.

Good news for Mac laptop users.

This program is very specific to these iPads only but if you’re affected, Apple has you covered.

Things are going to get worse before they get better. This all but ensures Apple will cancel WWDC. It’s just a matter of time before they make the announcement.

And check out Apple’s home page today.

IMO, Neil deGrasse Tyson is the very definition of the word “annoying.”

The SXSW organizers should have made this decision on their own and not been “forced” into it by city officials. Your move, Apple.

There will come a day when automakers will stop making insane supercars but today is not that day.

Coronavirus is affecting people around the world, but what does it mean for WWDC? Dave and I also talk about the possible affects on iPhone production, as well as switching Apple Music to other countries.

Trailer looks good. The 10-part series has the potential to be “too kid-friendly” but it’s an interesting plotline.

Another example of a PR disaster that shouldn’t have happened.

There are few things in tech more frustrating than trying to compare tech specs of big-screen TVs. This article might help make sense of some of the terms used by manufacturers.

Tot is an interesting app with an even more interesting pricing model – it’s free on macOS but $20 on iOS. I wish the nice folks at Iconfactory much success with this app.

Some will say Apple (and Google) are being too heavyhanded on this issue but with so much false information and so many sleazy people trying to take advantage of it, it’s prudent for the companies to take this action.

I’d seen the end of this video many times but this is the first time I’ve read about the whys of it or seen what came before the fireball.

As I said on Wednesday night’s Your Mac Life show, Apple should just announce the cancellation/postponement of WWDC now. It’s obvious that they are going to do it eventually. Sooner rather than later is best – release all of those people from the stress of not just planning the trip but also of having to deal with this issue.

You may have to be “of a certain age” to enjoy this trailer but, if you are, prepare to be hit by a tsunami of nostalgia for your misspent youth and remember how many literal thousands of dollars many of us pumped into these machines. I want to know – where the hell did I get all that money?

My only knock on this is that it is Mac only. I’d love to be able to do these crosswords on my iPad.
