Unfortunately, the panorama doesn’t include some of the more famous London skyline images.

Pick your material, press and hold the spacebar to start the lathe spinning, then click and move the mouse to start cutting.

Have not figured out how to get this to work on my iPhone. Please ping me if you work that out.

But on my Mac? Surprisingly satisfying.

These kinds of things fascinate me. For the record, I hear “Laurel”. Our 12-year-old son hears “Yanny”. But my Australian wife hears “yearly”. Weirdo.

You can skip ahead to 2:16:45 to see Cook’s speech. I couldn’t watch it because….well…it’s Duke.

This doesn’t feel like the “usual” money-grubbing lawsuit. I know anecdotes don’t equal data but this is a very widespread issue.

What an incredible story of a medical marvel and a kind, caring man.

My mother was a crossword solving fiend and would have loved competing in this tournament. Even if you’re not a high-level New York Times crossword solver, it’s a good story.

What a fascinating look at the population changes of Manhattan throughout the day and week.

The Guardian: >Almost everyone wears glasses at some point in their lives. In developed countries, the rule of thumb is that around 70% of adults need corrective lenses to see well. Those who need prescription glasses must try this cheap … Continued

This is really interesting. It makes sense that children don’t “need” to be taught skills they aren’t likely to ever need but it’s hard to let go of the analog clock.

This is wild and a little scary.

Many will dismiss these concerns as irrelevant but I personally believe they are crucially important.

This is no replacement for a yearly eye exam but, in a pinch, this seems a fantastic resource.

Ive can be obtuse in interviews sometimes but it’s still interesting to read his thoughts about design.

I remember when this was announced thinking, “Well, that’s never going to work…”

What an incredible story.

Dave and I take a look at the the iMac’s introduction and what it meant for Apple, even today. We also talk about this year’s Rock ‘n Roll Hall of Fame inductees and guitar players.

Escher is my favorite artist. The level of detail of these scans is remarkable.

While the iMac wasn’t a guaranteed success (there was a lot of Sturm und Drang over its design and technology decisions), it was a Hail Mary that turned into an incredible product for the company.

In my opinion, it’s impossible to overstate the importance of this announcement. I’ve long maintained that the iMac saved Apple. Without it, the company would not exist today.

Sadly, this news won’t stop the pundits from predicting the “death of the iPhone X” over the next 6 months or prevent the Tech Media from slavishly repeating those stupid predictions ad infinitum.

Good list of apps, both free and paid and there are even a couple I’m not familiar with.

I distinctly remember this video. I was a Mac consultant at the time and helped people buy and set up iMacs. Many of them were blown away by how easy and fast it was for them.

I look forward to many more analysts offering up the same apology.

I will still maintain that Apple had a great opportunity here it wasted by neglect, not unlike many other technologies Apple championed but ultimately ignored over the years.

Dave and I spent the first few minutes recounting our playoff hockey triumphs before moving on to talk about Apple’s decision to discontinue its AirPort product line, and an interesting Siri hiccup.

I’d love to hear from Apple why this move, a move that was “obvious” to many of us for many years, was never attempted by the company.

This is the first price increase in four years but, like all price increases, it undoubtedly won’t sit well with some Prime members.

Dave and I kicked off our podcast this week with some hockey talk, as both of our teams advanced in the playoffs. However, we quickly moved to talk of bug bounties, Apple Music, and Spotify’s new free tier.
