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.

Good news for Apple in general. Warren Buffett is seen as a bellwether for stable, sane stock market analysis that doesn’t chase trends.

Will you be getting a pair?

I think this story is full of crap.

How much fun would she have been to take classes or lectures with?

Regardless of what you think of Microsoft, its “resurrection” under the guidance of Satya Nadella is remarkable.

This will definitely get me to unsubscribe from Adobe’s Creative Cloud. Interestingly enough, the Canadian Adobe Creative Cloud page still lists the $9.99/month US price point.

While Apple could do more/better, it is rightfully lauded for its commitment to assistive technologies. Even better, many of these highlight functions anyone can use.

Not surprising at all considering almost anyone can just jump on one of these things and start riding.

There’s the Apple Watch and then there’s everything else.

Just out of curiosity, how many of you have a system that can take advantage of this new “‘high-quality’ audio” for your Apple TV?

Sadly, far too many people would actually buy this.

The truth, as is usually the case, is likely somewhere in the middle.

Nice little bump.

“It wasn’t an overly strong tornado.” Yeah but I flew my drone on the edge of light fog and lost it in the ocean. No way I’d fly it near a tornado.

I can confidently predict Apple will lose this battle.

Snell always has the best charts.

Apple is on the wrong side of this issue and it makes them seem anti-consumer.

Jim Dalrymple and I have discussed this on a couple of occasions on the Your Mac Life podcast. It’s an interesting question and problem for Apple. Do they let “the creatives” hold the reins come what may or do they shoot for the largest possible audience with G-rated content?

Looking forward to scaring the bejesus out of my 13-year-old with these. And – 40 years? Gods, I’m old.

This is a real shame. I loved and bought some of their products.

Watch it soon. You know this is getting pulled in 3…..2….1….

While becoming more common, it’s still a fairly unusual move for Apple to respond so quickly, directly, and on a weekend to stories like the one in the New York Times.

I couldn’t disagree more. I may just be a grumpy old man, but just because other devices are touch-enabled doesn’t automatically mean the Mac needs to be touch-enabled.

It was a sad day for Dave as his beloved Washington Capitals were beat out of the NHL playoffs, but we got past that and talked about where to get 4K video content, iCloud and AWS, and how Apple News+ is being displayed.

How many of you are old enough to remember Bob Vila? As a kid, I loved his version of “This Old House” (I never liked the episodes after he left) even though I have no skill or even interest in construction or carpentry. Vila made it seem effortless and easy.

I love bookstores and can spend hours and hours in them. Living in a small town means our options are limited but I’ll be sure to go into our local bookstore this Saturday.
