Here is a fascinating chart: brand value calculated by Interbrand. Apple is on top again this year. They have been there since 2012. What I find interesting is the first row is occupied by companies reflecting our new way of life as we depend on smartphones (Apple, Samsung), online shopping (Amazon) … read more

“Work can’t solve for all the things we’re missing right now, but a shared sense of purpose goes a long way. A belief that we can do more together than we can alone, that people of good will, driven by creativity and passion and that certain itch of a big idea, can still do things that help other … read more

An image is worth a thousand words. We are still paying the price of this shift in design, every single day, for every single interaction we have with our iPhone… who asked for that? Why? Will we return to normalcy? I’ll never forget the “before” it was so shitty. Never. read more

I miss him. The world is different. Apple has become something else. He would probably like what it has become without him, probably not all of it but most of it. I don’t care what he would have done differently. It’s no longer relevant as we need to keep looking forward, something he … read more

Here is a free tip to those developers thinking of adding widget support in their apps: widgets are not a great way to display information from high density, high speed info channels like social network feeds (Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, etc). You are welcome. #iosdev #apple

There is way more content online than we can humanly consume. There, I said it. I’m myself part of the problem, as a content creator too, albeit in a very small tiny fashion. To make things worse, I consider myself a writer. It’s not helping as less and less people are reading these days. read more

Saw that picture of a guy paying an VR game on a Rogers website to promote 5G networks in Canada. How stupid is this marketing!? What are they thinking when they “design’ their marketing campaign? You tell me. read more

Thought of the day: I think that blogs and newsletters are more than ever critical conduits for crafted content in a world of AI-generated feeds. #writing #newsletters #blogging #blog

Steve Ballmer’s reaction to the launch of the iPhone. LOL. Same applies to car companies reactions to Tesla. We all know how this will probably end up. twitter.com/sawyermer…

Forgot to put the evidence for my previous post. Here it is.

I can’t wait to watch this, even if I know it will be a troubling portrait of our modern society. While waiting for it, here is something even more troubling. The email I got announcing this new short film to be shown on Netflix does contain a tracking pixel, according to Hey. How curious this is. 🧐 … read more

Interesting trend indeed. For each movement, their is a counter-movement. For AI generated feeds movement, there will be a slow-feed, user-selected feed content movement. And I like it. The Rise of Slow Feeds

Remember Apple inviting professionals to learn about their workflow so they could use that input to reimagine the Mac Pro? What if Apple asked developers to a round table discussion to get input to reinvent the App Store? #iosdev #apple #apple

I want to be paid or get credits on my account to answer questions of potential buyers about things I bought on @Amazon. Who do you think I am?

Super interesting read. Careful explanation of where things come from and why it has to change. #appstore #apple App stores, trust and anti-trust — Benedict Evans

It’s pretty much how I see the American society, if I put it mildly. twitter.com/thefarmer…

On Apple vs The World: I’m all in for Apple to change its App Store rules, whatever it could mean, and reduce its cuts, etc. But @gruber post is dead on, Epic move this week is pure PR stunt. Plain and simple. EPIC can’t be selective and hit only Apple. They have to hit them all on the basis of … read more

If Epic doesn’t play the same game with Sony and all the other online stores, they are making fools of themselve. If you fight for principles, do it diligently.
