This might be the oddest story you read all day.

This could get ugly.

It might be a “smart TV” but any manufacturer who did this would be stupid.

This is an interesting, if admittedly first world, dilemma.

They’re kind of making her point for her.

Prosecutors charged Bill McGlashan, a founder and managing partner at TPG Growth — which has made landmark investments in companies like Uber and Airbnb — on fraud allegations for trying to engineer the admission of his son to the University of Southern California.

What is particularly damaging for TPG is that McGlashan has positioned himself as a leading voice in Silicon Valley for social responsibility. In addition to overseeing TPG’s late-stage growth investing arm, McGlashan has partnered with other conscious leaders like Bono and Laurene Powell Jobs at The Rise Fund, a TPG investing arm that tries to make the world a better place through investments in things like dairy farms in India.

I’m taking a wild stab in the dark here in saying that his partners are not too thrilled about these revelations, especially since he is “one of the tech sector’s leading proponents of how to invest ethically and for social impact.”

You know what’s involved but seeing the work that goes into creating one of these things gives a better appreciation of the effort.

I no longer do any kind of work that requires me to use these kinds of apps but it’s good to see CorelDRAW back on the Mac.

Gonna be interesting.

These kinds of stories about the infrastructure so much of our modern world relies on are always fascinating.

No real surprise but still a PITA for users who favor those browsers.

This is just electioneering and won’t amount to anything but I thought it odd that, when asked why she didn’t include Apple in her original post, the senator said, “No reason.” Apple is larger than all of the other companies she originally mentioned.

I’m a big fan of Skylum (formerly Macphun) and am testing out their AirMagic software for drone pilots. I like Luminar 2 and the “performance improvements” will be very welcome. It can be slow on my Mac.

I can’t wait to see this movie.

Such a bizarre, sad story about something many of knew and loved as kids and many still love as adults.

I loved vinyl and, if I had the space, I might even have a record player with some old albums lying around to play every now and then.

I got Dave a little riled up this week talking about AirPods. We also talked about the future of foldable devices and learning to paint on an iPad using Bob Ross videos.

It’s a shame this had to be “controversial” in the first place.

While I don’t loathe it as much as the writer, I certainly never look forward to any kind of self-checkout.

Honest question — is any other company, especially in tech, as transparent as Apple with regards to its Asian supply chain?

This could not possibly be funnier.

The monopoly EssilorLuxottica holds on the eyewear industry is obscene.

Fascinating look at a world few of us know about.

Until I moved to Tennessee, I had no idea how important the physical barrel was to various whiskeys and bourbons.

I think I may have just wet myself with excitement.

Because I’ve moved so often (13 times in 17 years!), I no longer have a large book collection. But, when I did, I used and loved the original Delicious Library app.

GPS is ubiquitous now but I had no idea Fiji played such an important role.

I see dozens of fakes every day and, to be honest, I would have looked at this guy’s images with suspicion. But, upon hearing the stories behind them, you realize he’s “just” an amazing and well-prepared photographer.

I have flown the Mavic 2 Pro and, while I wouldn’t give up its feature set in favour of the Mavic Air, if you’re in the market for a small, capable drone, take a look at this review.
