This photo was shot with a real $2 million Lamborghini taken apart
I will never create an image like this. Wouldn’t actually want to. But I can certainly admire the amazing work that went into it.
The urban design problem that’s killing pedestrians and cyclists
It’s a sad irony that as cars get safer, the world outside of them that they share with pedestrians, cyclists and motorcyclists, gets more and more dangerous.

A $1 million car? Here are 11 of them
Even if I had the money I don’t think I’d ever buy a car at this price. Except for that Pagani Huayra. I’d buy the hell out of that thing.
Breathtaking 80-megapixel image of the moon was made from 50,000 photos
What a spectacular image.
Where movies get their vintage electronics
I wish I had known about this place when I lived near New York City. I definitely would have paid it a visit.

The lost art of using the damn broiler
Unlike my mentally unstable friend Vito who has grilled outside in minus 20 degree temps, I have no interest in freezing when I cook. So I’ll give this a try for “grilled” winter steaks.
Why so many people choose to live near active volcanoes
I actually had this conversation with my 13-year old a few days ago. It was a nice little teaching moment I could use to explain to him that people want different things from what he might want and that’s OK.
Watch “Kitbull”, another of Pixar’s SparkShorts
Also check out the “meet the filmmakers behind Kitbull” and see how the film was made.
Huawei’s efforts to steal Apple trade secrets
There’s a reason why governments around the world view Huawei with suspicion.

Nice little treat you can gift to a friend who is not an Apple Music subscriber.
Free first episode of Weird City’s “The One”
My wife and I watched this over the weekend. Like a lot of comedies, it will take time to find its footing but this first episode was surprisingly sweet.
An Apple IIe sat in my parents’ attic for years and it works
I never had one but what a lovely, funny little Twitter thread.
How do the insanely wealthy actually pay for something worth hundreds of millions of dollars?
As jealous as this article made me, it was actually quite interesting to find out how the filthy rich actually pay for their toys.
Apple Music users able to gift a month subscription to a friend
While I don’t use Apple Music, I still really like this idea.

This is actually really funny.

These may seem like dry reports but it signals to suppliers and the world that Apple is keeping an eye on the issue and doing something about it.

Clow isn’t a household name but his influence is felt throughout the advertising world.
The official fast food French Fry power rankings
We don’t have the #1 here in Vancouver so I can’t judge but I do agree with the writer that the memory of MacDonald’s fries is often better than the actual fries.
Battery case showdown: Apple’s Smart Case vs. mophie’s juice pack access
I’m biased because I’ve always been a fan of mophie (and their parent company provides prizes to my podcast) and I have and really like the mophie juice pack. But I’ve never used an Apple battery case.
Test compares cellular speeds for top iPhone models, difference between the iPhone 5s and XS, more
I knew older iPhones were slower but half speed may be enough to convince my wife to upgrade her iPhone 6 Plus.
Samsung poised to challenge Apple at retail in US with first full-scale stores
“Poised to challenge”? This is literally the dumbest take possible on this story. I have no problem with Samsung opening its own stores but given their past failures on so many fronts, including retail, how the writer could think that, with three US stores, Samsung could “challenge” Apple is beyond ridiculous.
