The Python members are deeply unfunny and the world will be a better place once they have all shuffled off this mortal coil.

This is really big news and time will tell whether it is a wise move by Ford.

It’s not as easy to do as with other companies but that may be a good thing. And you might be surprised by how little and, ironically, how much Apple knows about you.

These companies aren’t doing this voluntarily, either. They’re being forced to by these new European Union regulations.

Worst. Documentary. Ever.

There’s lots of movies I’m looking forward to this summer – Avengers: Infinity War, Deadpool 2, Solo, The Incredibles 2, Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom, among others. I think having a “new” 12-year-old son helps ramp up my excitement level for some of them.

I’ve gone and requested my Instagram data. I’m not leaving the service just yet but I want my own backups of what I’ve posted to Instagram.

Even though I have an iPhone X, I have yet to bother with any kind of “wireless” charger. But if you’re in the market for one, this review may help.

I’ve never seen the movie in theaters and only once or twice on a TV screen. Whether it was because of that or my young age at viewing, I never understood the movie.

My wife prefers Spotify over Apple Music (Apple Music’s selection of her favourite tunes is woefully inadequate) so this news will make her happy.

Canada’s very own “Most Interesting Man in the World” debunks space myths.

What a great story. Obviously, it is due to a lot of things but we’ve heard from many people how much the Apple Watch can help and encourage them to make significant changes in their lives.

This news will be met with mixed feelings from a lot of photographers but there is no doubt that Yahoo has let the service languish for many years.

WKRP is one of those TV shows I loved but will never watch again. I’m afraid it won’t be as good as I remember it. It has happened to me before – I rewatched some old “Get Smart” shows I loved as a kid and thought, as an adult, it was awful. But I’ll listen to this playlist all day long.

All Mac users owe Kare a debt of gratitude for her work.

Based on my Twitter feed, Watson tells me I am “a bit critical and excitable.”

I’m always fascinated by assembly lines and this “disassembly line” is just as interesting.

Interesting that after all these years, Amazon has finally released these numbers. I wonder if they’ll ever announce Kindle and Echo sales figures?

I had no idea glass was so complex.

Tomato paste is one of those things I use all the time but have never given its production any thought. I had no idea it was made like this.

I’ve lived in port cities most of my life and, while I’ve seen many of these markings on container ships, I never really paid much attention or knew what they represented. Turns out, they are pretty interesting.

As always, gorgeous video but there’s an interesting note included with this one.

Nothing but good news for Apple and bad news for almost every other manufacturer.

At first blush, this seemed really silly. But on further examination, it’s fascinating how many variations Apple has had for “Space Gray”. You’d think a company renowned for its attention to detail would be more consistent in its colour schemes.

Another fascinating article in Apple’s Machine Learning series. It got a bit dense for me at times (or, rather, I’m a bit dense for the article) but there are lots of interesting tidbits of info included.

James Gunn: Here’s a cool list of the different jobs on a movie set and how they fit into the system. Gunn posted this on Twitter and not only is it an interesting breakdown of the jobs on a film … Continued

Considering the market share, I always bristle whenever a pundit says, “Apple needs to solve this problem…” instead of at least including Google and Android in the discussion. But there’s no doubt that Apple, with its stated concerns about user privacy and demonstrated control over all aspects of the iPhone, is uniquely situated to at least begin the discussion on these issues.

This is just one of many cases that will need to be adjudicated before the issue is settled but I think, in the long run, Apple will lose this fight.

QuickTime Player X is utterly useless as a production app.

Pretty impressive review from Serenity Caldwell at iMore.
