This is just insanely good editing.

Don’t shed any tears for Roethlisberger. He has career earnings of $187 million dollars and he’ll make $26 million this year. He can pay the fine out of the change he’d find in his couch cushions.

I’m still addicted to Grindstone.

Apple on Monday released macOS Catalina, the newest operating systems for the company’s Macs. While there is a wealth of new features in the latest version, Catalina is also the first macOS to require 64-bit apps. […]

Dave recalls some difficulty he’s had with his Apple Wallet and we talk about playing terrestrial radio stations on the HomePod.

50 years later, it’s still the silliest TV show I’ve ever watched.

I saw this video yesterday and showed it to my son. He was understandably captivated (he wants to go to Norway to meet Hvaldimir now) and wanted to know more. I’d heard about the “Russian Spy whale” but didn’t connect it to this beluga

During the last Apple Event, we saw this implementation in a video from Apple using Filmic Pro. The version of Filmic Pro shown is not yet available from that developer but, if all you need is this feature, DuetCam does the trick for a lot cheaper. The developer of DuestCam, Marcel Schmitz, told me via Twitter that a near-future update will have the ability to switch between the cameras while recording.

Read that headline again. Does anyone other than marketing weenies think that “crippling” is a bad thing?

This is a story that should have embarrassed Bloomberg into proving it or retracting it but the rest of the media have, for the most part, sadly moved on from it.

There are a lot of games for you to try in Apple Arcade. I wouldn’t agree with this list but then again, I’m not a “gamer”. I love Grindstone and the little talked about jigsaw puzzle “game” called “Patterned”.

I fondly remember those plastic masks as a kid. We all looked forward to going to our local Zellers and picking one out. But, because they had to fit over our winter clothes in the cold of a late fall in Nova Scotia, they all had to be extra-large sizes. My favourite was my Incredible Hulk mask. AT 6 feet tall and 12 years old, it fit me perfectly.

This is the way you address an issue and make things right for your customers.

I’m not a fan of posting about products or services you can’t go out and buy right now or videos that are simply advertisements for a product but this video is INSANE. If it works as advertised, it opens up some incredible possibilities for new filming ideas and at that price point and with those capabilities, DJI should be very scared.

I love these blog posts from the developers of the excellent iOS camera app Halide. Really good explanations of what they are doing and what they can’t do. Their new “Lens Guides” feature is brilliant.

As per usual, Apple will announce ridiculous numbers of devices sold and metric buttloads of revenue generated.

I remember this weird story from ten years ago. The facts and subsequent years are even weirder.

I loved the 1950 version of the novel and hated the Tom Cruise version. This one, set shortly after the book’s publication in 1897, looks really good.

The Apple Watch may have started out as a fashion item but it has quickly become a device to help us check, monitor, and maintain our health.

Dave and I talk this week about the iPhone 11 and Night Mode when taking pictures. We also look at the new Apple Watch and what’s important to me about using the device.

If you have a Series 4, you’re probably not upgrading to the 5 unless you really want that always-on display and/or the compass. But, if you have a 3 or earlier, the Series 5 is a big step up and worth the price.

The headline and body are misleading. There was likely no issue with the Apple Card itself but the way it was being used by retail staff. Regardless, something to keep in mind when traveling – have a backup card just in case.

Welcome news for those of us who use Spotify.

Those of you lucky enough to live somewhere this is playing owe it to yourself to go see this in a theater.

My favourite new features are the new volume indicator and being able to delete apps from the Update screen.

This is moderately bad. It is said to be unpatchable but the attacker needs physical access to your phone and it doesn’t survive a reboot.

Looking forward to this. Who doesn’t love Snoopy?

I don’t use my AppleTV to nearly its full potential but, if you do, there’s a lot to like in the latest tvOS.

I’m always wary of stories that only refer to “people familiar with the plans” and the like and I’m doubly wary of any stories written by Tripp Mickle but this makes complete sense. The wider reach and greater visibility, especially for “awards contenders”, could help draw talent to Apple and better differentiate itself from Netflix.

This is insanely cool.
