I admit, I’d go see this movie.

What a great story. I was caught in a small rip when I was in Australia last month and it was all kinds of terrifying.

It’s hard to argue with the logic. It’s just a matter of time.

A very worthy cause but why stop at 12 years of education? If finishing high school is important, isn’t a college education just as important?

It’s a show I’ve never watched much of but its longevity certainly raises some interesting questions.

Cute. But I’m still not going to use Animojis.

It wasn’t until I moved to the US that I found out Butter Tarts were “uniquely” Canadian (few things are so we celebrate where we can) and most Americans had never heard of them.

As usual, interesting and thoughtful comments from Cook. Although, I still disagree with him on the importance of coding.

I love the graphic style of these old posters, many for movies you’ve never heard of and which are undoubtedly, quite awful.

This is an excellent FAQ on Apple and the Everest-sized mountain of cash they are sitting on.

This is a concern not just for non-US citizens but also for US citzens arriving back into the country. Know your rights and know what to do and what not to do.

I ended up creating 30 septendecillion paper clips. The game is best described as “a little odd” but definitely addictive for me.

The reports of the power of this iMac make it not only droolworthy (I wish I could justify getting one) but it gets me thinking – how incredible will the promised 2018 Mac Pro be?

Rene Ritchie joins me this week to talk about a variety of topics including iPhone sales this quarter, reports on television shows that Apple wants to produce, and Apple’s relationship with the FBI, among other things.

Good to see these bonuses are also being given out to retail and part-time employees.

This is an interesting decision by BMW. Their logic seems solid but many people are unhappy about the subscription. I’ll never buy a BMW so I don’t have a dog in this hunt but if successful, you can bet this will move downmarket to other manufacturers.

During my recent trip to Australia, my workflow was blown up by a busted MacBook Air screen so I had to jury-rig a solution that, in some ways, mirrored not only the solutions found in this piece but the frustrations as well.

Most of us have seen and laughed at this grainy video but I had no idea it was staged.

Ten years ago today, I was in the audience when Jobs introduced the Air. I was skeptical at the time (the work I was doing “required” the power of a full-sized laptop. At the time, I was lugging around a 17″ MacBook Pro) but now I love my Air, especially when I travel.

One of the best music documentaries I’ve ever seen is “It Might Get Loud” – Jimmy Page, Jack White, and The Edge just sitting around, talking about playing guitar – and this segment of Page talking about one of the most distinctive riffs in music is a great example of it.

Pencils are one of those things few of us give any thought to – or, for that matter, use much any more – but this glorious photo essay will definitely get you thinking about the “lowly” pencil.

I bet a lot of people in his industry do similar things, especially for blockbusters.

At what point is it just Apple trying to protect its customers from nefarious forces that, sadly nowadays, include governments?

I’ve always been a fan of Matias keyboards.

Good news for Apple. But – what took him so long? The initial Billboard rumor was five days ago.

Anyone shedding a tear for advertising companies, who for years ignored users’ requests for less intrusive advertising, suddenly crying poverty over Apple’s efforts to offer that protection to their users?

I don’t by the full doom and gloom of the article but an overreliance on smartphones in any number of ways is definitely something to be watchful of.

Ignoring the marketing speak in this press release, the bottom line – that Powermat is going with the Qi standard – is good for consumers. It means a less confusing marketplace.

This is a wonderfully geeky examination of the iPhone X Home Indicator and how it dynamically changes color. I still hate it though.

This is a well-written explainer on what happens with Meltdown. Even I understood it. And I never say this but – read the comments as well.
