It’s only a matter of time before this technology enters the mainstream and is used in the big leagues. I think that will be a shame because one of the joys of baseball is that human element of a really bad umpire.

Dave and I wrapped up our thoughts on the new MacBook updates this week, and talked about an old iPhone Dave found in a drawer. We also looked at things Apple could do with the Apple Watch and iPad to help people with disabilities, which is a very personal topic for Dave.

Voyager 1 and 2 are now a mindboggling 13.5 billion and 11.1 billion miles from Earth. The people who originally designed them and the people who keep them working after 42 years should be incredibly proud of themselves.

Holy crap these two people are stupid and I have zero sympathy for them.

This is an old video from 2010. I’ve never actually watched this program but this is funny. Looks like a BBC editor got bored at work.

C’mon, Apple.

Hold’em is my favourite card game and it’s great to see this “classic” back on my phone.

Apple is just scratching the surface of its health care efforts.

This is nuts. I couldn’t go past the first page for fear of being driven insane.

Many magazines have shut down in the past 10-20 years but this one is especially poignant to those of us who grew up in the magazine’s heyday.

This is potentially good news for those of us who have been taken advantage of by third-party resellers.

Fireworks were banned in my little town this year, partially for noise reasons but also because of a fire hazard concern (our town is surrounded by extremely dry forests). Tomorrow is the Fourth of July in the US – will you or your community use the “low-noise fireworks” (which I had never heard of before)?

As usual, Apple will announce billions of dollars of revenue and millions of devices sold.

If you are a user of Doug’s excellent scripts written for iTunes, download and run this.

Well, that’s embarrassing.

Not a huge surprise. Apple is weighing the tradeoffs of potential further tariffs against the cost of shipping components to the US for assembly.

In honour of the Canada Day Long Weekend, I post this story about the greatest backyard toy ever invented.

I loved some of these videos.

Dave and I talked about some fun topics today including battery life in Apple products and counterfeit products at Amazon, but we went off topic a lot and just had a blast talking about everything.

This is a fun ad that made me smile.

This is VERY bad news.

Look for more news like this as Apple tries to snap up even more talent for its ARM-based Mac efforts.

Obviously, it’s a design decision but it’s still frustrating.

I definitely would have preferred this version to the one that became Alien 3.

As always, if you are participating in this beta, make sure you have a recent, verified backup of your data.

As more and more companies use subscription services, we’ll have to be vigilant to make sure we keep an eye on them. Those $5-$10/month services can really add up.

This is an overly romanticized view of driving. The vast majority of people generally hate it and will be more than happy to become passengers in autonomous vehicles.

We knew Apple had some kind of review process but the details in this story are quite interesting.

Homey the Clown, “Men on Films,” Fire Marshall Bill. Still some of the funniest, edgiest stuff ever seen on TV.

Dave had a nice little surprise today as he explained about using Siri with Wolfram to get better answers. We also talked about Apple gaming and the overall companies product strategy.
