Glitter is evil.

This is an incredible visualization. In particular, watch China as it rises falls and rises again and note the year China went to second place and stayed there. They likely won’t fall from that spot and, most likely, will overtake the US in our lifetimes.

Wood was in one of my favourite Christmas movies and the other participants in this film would have made it a must watch but, like most of us, I’ve never heard of it.

I knew about this tradition (and have partaken of it myself) but just assumed was just that. I didn’t realize there’s an actual, “logical” reason for it.

It’s an incredible image. See if you can spot the Shanghai Apple Store.

As a native son of a province that is one of the largest Christmas tree suppliers, I love these stories of how the tree gets from that farm in Nova Scotia, Quebec or Vermont to the streets and parking lots of your hometown.

I’ve used Darkroom and this new version makes a great app even better.

Interesting that all four smart speaker systems got smarter over time.

I remember as a kid learning about all the “cooties” that live in our body and being really creeped out about it. I’m not creeped out by the thought of octillions of creatures living beneath our feet but it’s equally as amazing.

This is a lot funnier than it has a right to be.

This is a really interesting essay arguing against the film. I’ve seen the trailers and am still looking forward to seeing the film but this gives me something additional to think about as I watch.

These are beautiful, almost surreal images. The technique to create them is actually fairly simple. But the knowledge required to get images like these is not easy to teach or come by.

This is an issue that is only going to get worse as more and more consumer drones are used and get in the hands of idiots who fly unsafely.

Multiple AirPods sharing audio on the same device, getting back at package thieves, and the bend of the new iPad Pro are among the topics Dave and I tackle on this week’s show.

This is an awful, horrible tragedy and our hearts go out to the little girl’s family but it’s not the responsibility of Apple.

I’m not a huge fan of audiobooks in general but I’d listen to Kate Beckinsale read the phonebook.

I don’t post “happy news” stories simply for the sake of it but this one was so wonderful, I had to share it.

And this is just the beginning for Apple in the field of health apps, activity, and management.

What an incredible story. Fascinating to think how this affected not only that year but all the way through history.

I suppose it had to happen eventually but I’m officially old. Not only have I not heard any of these songs, but I’ve never even heard of six of the artists on the list.

I don’t understand half of what he is talking about but it looks amazing.

I’ll be the first to admit that, even though I’ve seen these things a million times, I really had no idea what they were and certainly didn’t know they were grown.

With Apple’s present success, many don’t realize what awful shape the company was in with past CEOs and decisions. Makes their comeback and success today even more remarkable.

This is a lovely but bittersweet story.

Even when I have money, I rarely, if ever, use cash to purchase things.

Better to see Apple get this property than Disney.

The more and varied places you can buy Macs and get discounts, the better.

Dave and I talk about Apple’s recent decision to discontinue Apple Music Connect, as well as talking about if we could give up our iPhones for a year.

This story had been rumoured for years. Best part of the story is Ballard saying, “I cannot talk about my other Navy missions, no,” he said. “They have yet to be declassified.”

It’s kind of terrifying to think this “science” made just be a load of bollocks. Even worse, how many innocent people were convicted? How many guilty people went free?
