At what point does Apple revise its store in order to stop this kind of theft or whether they just see this as the cost of doing business the way they do? My biggest fear is that someone, staff or customer, gets hurt or worse in one of these smash and grabs.

Don’t you hate when a seal slaps you in the face with an octopus?
This blew up on Twitter yesterday and it was hilarious to see.
385 feet of crazy: the most audacious flying machine ever
This is a giant, ugly plane but I would never bet against the legendary plane builder Burt Rutan or Paul Allen’s millions.

Banff National Park’s explanation of the difference between sheep and goats
TFW your home-sick-from-school 12 year old asks you, “What’s the difference between a sheep and a goat?” and a Google search leads you to this video.

Perfect timing. I’m downloading Mojave as we speak.
Why I’m done with Chrome
This is justifiably worrying to security experts. I’ve been a Chrome user in the past but, with today’s release of Mojave, I’m likely going back to Safari.
A brief statement on DragThing – I’m stopping selling it as of today
I predict we’ll see more of these kinds of announcements from developers as Mojave end-of-lifes more and more 32-bit apps.

Wow. Amazing story. Read for the science, stay for the surprising kicker at the end.

iOS 12 automatically saves iMessage photos to your Photos library
This is one of those changes Apple often makes that they don’t tell the user about. It’s also something not everyone wants.
No sex please, we’re Apple: iPhone giant seeks TV success on its own terms
I don’t think this is as big a problem for Apple as some make it out to be. After all, in theory, your “G” rated audience is going to be much bigger than your “R” rated audience. Apple wants to appeal to the broadest group of consumers it can – whether that be with iPhones or original content.
iPhone XS vs iPhone X camera comparison
As I’ve always said on Your Mac Life, these are the kinds of comparisons and shots I want to see. I don’t see the point of giving review cameras ahead of launch to the likes of Austin Mann and Pete Souza – they are professional photographers who are expected to take great photos no matter what camera they use. I’d rather see Apple seed cameras to “average” people and see what the differences are in their shots.
I almost just got scammed hard: a cautionary tale
Scary thread from Sasser, co-founder of Panic Inc. Big lesson is if someone calls you, call them back at the company’s official number to verify. Or do what I do – just never answer the phone.
The Dalrymple Report: Unpacking the iPhone XS, iPhone XS Max and Apple Watch with Dave Mark

What has changed with AppleCare+ for iPhone XS or Apple Watch and why you should consider coverage

Former White House Photographer Pete Souza releases the first pictures taken using Apple’s new iPhone XS
Several Twitterers are pointing to Austin Mann’s Petapixel post with images shot on the new iPhone but, to me, Mann’s shots are “just” the typical ones any tourist would take and don’t show off the capabilities of the new iPhone. Souza shows a wide variety of shots that do a great job of showing the range of the iPhone X s.
Shortcuts user guide
I wasn’t a beta user of iOS 12 so I’m looking forward to digging in to what Shortcuts can do for me.
The Shortcuts app for iOS 12 is now available—make sure you grab it!
The app obviously requires iOS 12 so don’t bother to download until you’ve upgraded.

Much like Twitter and Facebook, Instagram is what you make of it. I don’t see any of these “feel good” posts because I don’t follow those kinds of Instagrammers.
