Yeah, it may look silly and isn’t 100% effective but anything that increases the margin of safety is a good thing. Plus, it helps when you go jump in a lake.

I’d seen the original all over Instagram and this new version is even more spectacular.

This is a sad but ultimately empowering profile of a person who has persevered.

I enjoyed The Big Bang Theory immensely for what it was – a silly little comedy. While I’d never call it a “great” show, I looked forward to watching it each week and I’m sorry its run has come to an end.

This is a question as old as computers. For what it’s worth, my computer only gets shut down when it’s required by a software update.

I got my “cease and desist” letter. Adobe continues to make decisions that hurt average customers. It’s unlikely individuals would “face potential “infringement claims” from Dolby and Adobe is just using the wording as a scare tactic.

The Supreme Court on Monday ruled that an antitrust case against Apple could move forward effectively allowing iPhone users to sue the company. The crux of the argument is that Apple only allows apps to be sold on its store and that it takes a 30 percent commission, which inflates the prices. […]

You’ll be able to get yours — if you want one — later this summer.

As Centers said on Twitter, “I don’t just love Apple Music, but after trying everything else, I’m convinced that it’s the least-awful streaming service.” Damning with faint praise.

Yes, you read that right, Dave and I kicked off this week’s episode talking about potatoes. We also talked about Google’s privacy stance.

I’ve always wanted to visit this Monarch sanctuary in Michoacán, Mexico.

I love this take on these “selfie death” stories.

Central Michigan University: To attend her son Stephan’s commencement ceremony, Sharonda Wilson was unable to attend her own from Ferris State University. Learning this, @cmichprez contacted FSU President Eisler and was able to confer her degree on behalf of FSU's … Continued

I wish I still lived in the area. Even from Nashville or Connecticut, I’d ride to see the re-opening of this gorgeous building.

Really interesting look at what the future holds after WWDC 2019.

This had to be insanely exciting for this 16-year-old and what a great thing for Cook to do.

This comes in very handy but it feels like something Apple might not approve of. But I’ll use it regardless.

When I lived on a farm, I was involved in a very minor aspect of the beef industry and even at that level, it was pretty brutal. I can’t imagine it on an industrial scale.

I was an early user of the original Bose noise-canceling headphones and, while I liked them well enough, I’ve switched to noise attenuating earphones and on the motorcycle, simple earplugs that do a great job of reducing decibel levels.

Dave posted about dynamic wallpapers on Monday and I thought this would be a nice addition to that story.

I’m looking forward to testing this out. The “perfect” browser hasn’t been made yet and it’s not likely this will be it either but competition is good.

This is a wonderful silly game reminiscent of the “paper route” games of years ago but that music has to go.

I’m glad to see this issue seems to finally be coming up on Cook’s radar. Parents are hungry for options to help them manage the screen time and content on their children’s’ devices.

None of the efforts to break up these companies will actually come to fruition – as the article points out, US anti-trust laws are mostly about high prices – but it may bring about additional regulation of the companies, something that must be worrisome to the companies involved.

I love these videos and, while the car usually wins, the results here were actually surprising.

Dave and I talk about the story that broke last weekend about Apple’s stance on Parental Controls on iOS, as well as a new poll on voice assistant usage.

Unsurprisingly, it ain’t easy.

If you were around Apple in 1987, you can be forgiven for believing this was a viable future for the company in ten years. The reality was much less rosy though.

Spectacular.

This is such a weird and wonderful quirk of US liquor laws. I still remember my first visit to the Jack Daniels Distillery in Lynchburg and saying, “let’s go to the pub afterward!” and being incredibly disappointed by the response.
