I haven’t seen it since it originally came out and I have no intention of watching it ever again – that’s why I didn’t embed it in this post. But some of you might enjoy it. Fair warning: Tarantino is right.

The decline and fall of the modern nerd
It’s hard to argue with this. Maybe it’s because I’ve “aged out” of my former low-level nerdiness but while the article points out “…there is more nerdy love in this world than hate,” it also makes the point that, likely because of the internet, “love is quiet, and hate is loud.”

First look: the renovated Fifth Avenue Apple Store Flagship is bigger and brighter
The Fifth Avenue Store will always be my favourite. I spoke to Steve Jobs and his wife outside the location five years before Apple opened it. He was looking at the plaza and pointing things out to his wife. He knew then what the store would look like. I hope I get to revisit this store in the near future.

Iger departs board of Apple, Disney’s new streaming competitor
Everyone will read this as being due to to the competition between Apple TV+ and Disney+ but as Tim Bajarin said on Twitter, “Iger resigning is to avoid any possible conflict of interest since they both now have streaming services. They actually co-exist well but this takes any potential threat from Wall Street over conflict of interest out of the picture.”

It’s a cute little video but certainly doesn’t show how “tough” the new phones are.

The New York Times shaming of a crying reporter is shameful
Apple events are interesting in many ways. We get to see the new products from Apple, obviously, but we also talk with other reporters and analysts about where the various markets are heading. For one New York Times reporter, Jack Nicas, it’s an opportunity to shame other people. […]
We recreated every Apple wallpaper
