In the early days of the internet, I was more than happy to lend my “extra” computing power to this project.

My son has discovered the fun of star trail photography which is a giant pain because it’s still cold here at night!

This is really long and detailed but absolutely fascinating if you have any interest in real-life warfare tactics and strategy overlaid on to a fantasy world setting.

I thought there might have been something fishy about this when I first saw the tweet. Nowadays, why would you wait two months to get a “bad cough” diagnosed? And as 9to5Mac says, Woz tweeting that “he and his wife “may have been patient zero” for coronavirus in the United States” is an incredibly irresponsible thing to say without any evidence.

What a lovely gesture by the company.

I couldn’t agree more. While there certainly is a subset of users who want/need replaceable batteries, I’d bet most users no longer see it as much of an issue.

Throughout March, Apple Stores worldwide will host a series of over 5,000 Today at Apple sessions titled “She Creates” to highlight inspiring female creators using photography, design, technology, business, music and film to address tough topics, explore new perspectives and empower their communities. Select stores will host more than 100 sessions led by women across industries and mediums who are empowering those around them through creativity, including co-chair of the Women’s March Linda Sarsour, musicians Meghan Trainor and Victoria Monét, designer Carla Fernández, and many more.

This is a great month long event. Apple also said there will be special sessions by female creators at select stores around the world. You can find out more about those on Apple’s web site.

Hopefully, this will get extended to those of us who had those phones but live outside the US.

The results are predictable and exactly what many of us suspected.

And this is just the list of tech conferences affected. All kinds of conferences in many other sectors are being affected. MotoGP motorcycle races in Qatar and Thailand have been canceled as well.

Emergency goalies in the NHL? That’s a thing. Dave and I also look at Amazon’s new grocery stores that have no cashiers or checkout lines, as well as how iPhones are used in movies.

After they went full subscription, I stopped visiting the site but I’m still sorry to see them go. Back in the day, they were a great resource for headlines.

Clearview just keeps getting sleazier and sleazier.

It always makes me nervous when Cook pimps Trump.

This was a great story when we first reported on it almost five years ago and I’m happy to see it continue to be a great story. But, as I predicted and to the CEO’s dismay, other companies haven’t followed suit.

I haven’t used much in the way of smart home technology but I’ve done a lot of research on it in preparation for having at least a “less dumb” home. When it comes to privacy and security, what Apple has and has planned for HomeKit attracts me the most.

I certainly don’t feel bad for it. As a matter of fact, I still lust for an iPad Pro and an Apple Pencil.

I’m surprised that two cities I’ve lived and ridden in – Portland, OR and Nashville, TN – didn’t score higher. Unsurprising that cities in the West scored the highest while East coast cities, particularly in the heavily populated NYC area, scored the worst.

The Loop’s Publisher and I talked about this on last night’s Your Mac Life show. Apple has definitely had high-level discussions about WWDC and whether it should go ahead or not and, if not, what would take its place. Perhaps a “virtual” WWDC similar to what Facebook just announced?

This article combines two of my passions – motorcycling and photography. Jones is an incredible MotoGP photographer and the story of this amazing image is a combination of luck, perseverance, skill, equipment, and a talented shooter all coming together to get The Perfect Shot. Imagine trying to get a specific image (both wheels off the ground, race winner, etc.) of a motorcycle traveling at 165mph coming up over a blind hill.

We get used to our machines, iPhones and otherwise, running at certain speeds. Perception plays a big part. But this test shows that, while the iPhone 6s is still a “capable” device, it predictably doesn’t hold a candle to the latest and greatest.

Yet another reason why I don’t go in the woods – I’d die before I would ever be able to do this.

As a casual gamer, I unsubbed from Apple Arcade a few weeks ago. So many of the games I wanted to play either had text/graphics (on the iPhone) that was too small to be read by my middle-aged eyes or, when trying to play on the Apple TV, required a controller. As well, my 14-year-old has no interest in the service and my wife is not a gamer. What has been your Apple Arcade experience?

This might be a good explainer for some of you.

For Canadians, feel-good stories don’t get any better than this. The fact he beat the Leafs makes it even sweeter for me.

A good overview of what happened at this morning’s Apple shareolders meeting.

Watch the video for a really good explanation.

This story really appeals to the lazy SOB in me.

The owner’s description of talking about film is one of the things I loved about my long-gone video rental place.

The Etch a Sketch Revolution is a tad smaller than your typical Etch a Sketch, but it does feature the two signature knobs at the bottom. The main difference is it features a spinning screen that makes drawing circles magnitudes easier. As in, all you have to do is manipulate the knobs on the spinning rim, and that’s it. It’s simple, but pretty neat when you consider just how torturous trying to draw anything circular, rounded, or curvy on a traditional Etch a Sketch is.

Okay, I know there is a certain percentage of you looking at this and saying “WTF!” However, for those of a certain age, this is really cool. I doubt Apple is “doomed” with this the release of this breakthrough technology, but it’s still fun.
