I only trust reviews from people I know. I don’t know anyone on Amazon.

I get why retailers, especially smaller ones, would like to go cashless but it certainly does and will hit those on the lower economic rungs much harder.

Imagine having your iPad locked for 25 million minutes—it happened! Apple added an Air Quality Index to Apple Maps and The Met has an exhibit of some really cool rock instruments.

Apple’s need for Chinese approval lends itself to easy criticism when it does things like this.

So cool watching these boosters land (mostly) simultaneously.

This seems like a great deal, especially for those who are fans of Dinsey’s back catalog. I wonder if the price point puts any pressure on Apple TV+?

“Persuades…”

In light of yesterday’s announcement and wonderful photo of Bouman sitting with her MacBook Pro and watching the photo reconstruct live, this TED Talk from 2017 is really interesting.

While cutting edge in 1993, it looks like an abomination today.

“We have seen what we thought was unseeable.”

These are amazing. Every pet I’ve ever had has been a rescue and I encourage everyone looking for a new best friend to check out their local shelters.

I’m a long time fan of Etymotics and this review points out a couple of things I haven’t seen before — physical filters that smooth out the frequencies and keep ear wax out of the earphone and cords that detach from the earpiece so, if the cord gets broken, you don’t have to buy a whole new set.

Our family has been watching this latest series and, while it definitely has some disturbing scenes, it’s a typically amazing and incredible work by Attenborough.

That headline is painful but likely true. It also means my iPhone is much less useful as a phone than it would be if this issue could be solved. I never answer my phone any more from any unknown-to-me callers.

Dave has been talking about how he is learning to play piano lately, so in addition to talking about counterfeit iPhones, BBEdit returning to the Mac App Store, and Apple News, we get to hear him play a little for us.

My friend Sly posted a link to this on Twitter and it’s wonderful, sweet, touching and a little sad.

I fully expected to read this article and absolutely hate the subject but she’s surprisingly honest and down to earth about having access to more money than the rest of us combined.

I usually hate these kinds of unrelated promotional tie-ins but this one is pretty funny.

Great little video.

I first used a TiVo when I moved to Nashville in 2002 and it was incredible. I don’t think I’ve gone without a DVR since.

Dave and I talk about my sudden change of heart regarding Apple News+ and why I’m liking the service. We also look at the new AirPods we picked up this week and delve into the Apple’s new video service.

This week Dave and I look at Apple’s new iMac, iPad and AirPod announcements, as well as a look at the company’s sports surveillance room.

My friend Sly posted this on Twitter and now I want a slow-motion version so I can really see what’s going on and try it myself.

I knew this was one of the ways Apple showed the protoype iPhones but it’s the first image I’ve seen of it.

These are great but I can’t imagine many of them would be allowed today.

The death of Do Not Track is the reason why I don’t give a damn about ad publishers and their moaning about adblockers and other efforts to thwart them. We tried being nice to you and you were jerks about it. No sympathy.

h”We burn more people than anyone else!” He said gleefully.

I avoid like the plague giving anyone my phone number or Social Security/Social Insurance number. If a company demands I include one, I’ll give them a fake number whenever possible. It doesn’t work in all situations but I try to limit it as much as I can.

The growth of the internet was unimaginable by these guys 50 years ago just like we can’t imagine what it will be like 50 years from now but it sure as hell isn’t likely to be “unequivocally wonderful, open, collaborative, trustworthy or ethical.”

I don’t think CC is “too powerful” but it is a conversation worth having. A lot of people aren’t happy with where the Creative Cloud is going and how locked in many of us are to it.
