Best call from Apple. They had no choice but to leave, otherwise their credibility would have been questioned.

Will Apple release iOS 18.4 beta 1 the same day as the just announced iPhone16e? 🧐

I find it amusing that Apple releases a new iPhone member with Tim Cook and keep pitching Apple Intelligence as a breakthrough. Are VPs at Apple aware that Apple Intelligence is far behind everybody else and that it still in early beta? Do the engineering teams ever get poked by VPs as to where they are in their journey to bring real generative AI to Apple users? 🤭

What? HP is buying Humane remains? HP? The leader in generative AI looking for a modern, lightweight and nifty dedicated AI device to hum along their AI backend services? Silicon Valley is hard to decipher at times.

Apple is set to unveil a strategically priced new iPhone tomorrow, alongside anticipated developments in its cellular modem technology. Should I be excited? Continue reading →

The Rotten Side of Tim Cook’s Apple: Should I write a take 2 to this piece published in 2020? I think so.

First, Tim gives his money to this orange clown and dictator and assist the presidential circus inauguration and now Apple resumes advertising on X? This is not the Apple that I want. 😡

With a secret request by the UK government for a backdoor in iCloud, can you imagine if it was to be granted and then later down the line something like what’s happening in the US is taking over the government and institutions happen? It is hard to comprehend what is happening every day these days.

Apple told the developers that building an iPad was a matter of clicking a checkbox (more or less). Now, why is Apple Sports, Apple Journal and more recently, Apple Invites are not optimized for the iPad? 🤨🤷🏻‍♂️ Continue reading →

Quite positive experience with Apple Invites so far. I feel they move the needle and bring a much more enjoyable experience compared to other similar offerings. Nice user interface visual language. It feels new and very Apple. I like it. Is it something that preclude what is coming up with iOS 19?

Apparently, the EU get porn apps, but we get Apple Intelligence. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Great article from Adam Engst comparing Grammarly to Apple Intelligence Writing tools. It’s ironic that a third-party software brings better integration, less friction to the writing experience than Apple’s first-party offering.

I think that every single day that I’m working on a Mac I tell myself: “What a joy is this working with this”.

We are solely responsible for the concentration of power in the hands of a few large tech companies. As individuals, we granted all that power to these megacorporations, which, at one point, were not yet large corporations. Thinking otherwise is ludicrous. Laws are a band-aid, we, the individual by our own choices must take back that power. We need to undo the last 15 years to some degree of equilibrium.

DeekSeek being open source, some people might wish that open source wasn’t a thing. But it is! 😂 #deepseek

DeekSeek or DeepSink? It might be ugly today on the markets. #deepseek

Tim Cook might be the biggest public figure of Apple, but for this publicity stunt for Severance where he is visiting “Lumon Industries” headquarters, I wish it was Craig Federighi, instead. He would have done a better job.

Three reasons why I might not upgrade my iPhone 15 Pro Max this year, as expected. If Donald Trump imposes tariffs on Canadian goods. I'm questioning my support of an American company like Apple. Because of Tim Cook's contribution to Donald Trump inauguration which is in contradiction to many Apple values and Tim Cook's personal stance on some social issues. If Apple makes a single change to their support for DEI program, following Trump's executive orders. Continue reading →

One of my past colleague is now a system administrator of a few IBM Z Series mainframes¹. He is 58 and is the youngest of the team managing this stuff, the other team members are 62 and 72(!). It’s very hard to find people who knows about CICS, IDMS, Ctrl-M, all running on mainframes these days. I started my IT career on an IBM TN3270 connected to a mainframe running MVS. Good memories.

I’m not sure if I like the rumored camera bump of the iPhone 17 Air… 😒
