    Here is an app idea: how about an app allowing bloggers to easily create « link posts » which would allow for easy insertion of links and text quotes and the blogger’s own comments. I would pay for that one. I’m currently using Linky but it is very limited (single quote).

    Interesting take by @gruber on Apple’s position regarding Microsoft’s xCloud. My take: it’s about control AND money. The former makes it easier to get the latter. daringfireball.net/2020/08/a…

    Wondering something about a possible incursion of the nano-texture glass on a future iPad Pro. Would this be compatible with the use of the Apple Pencil? I wish it will be.

    Wishing for similar performance improvements when Apple Silicon hits the iMac line. Coupled with the rumoured redesign, the first since 2012, I’m already salivating. #apple #imac2021 #applesilicon

    Here is a great take on Apple’s App Store issues by @drbarnard. To me, the key is for Apple to change its mindset from working too hard on the lock-in to working on the experience quality (tweet #10 in the thread) and let the users decide. twitter.com/drbarnard… Continue reading →

    If you are not on iOS 14 beta 4, hold off and wait for Beta 5. I do experience the same issues exposed in this Twitter thread. Very buggy release. It reminds me of iOS 13 betas. #ios14beta4 #apple

    Did you know Apple has a Telegram channel? They didn’t post on it since Nov. 2018.

    Great reviews on the latest iMac update. As a serious amateur photographer, the thing that stands out to me is the new nano glass option. At 500$ it is not cheap but reviewers are liking it a lot. Could this option eventually come to the iPad Pro? Or the iPhone? I would pay a premium for this on the iPad Pro. Now, why the 21.5” iMac has not been updated is a mystery to me. Continue reading →

    On Apple’s stance on its App Store policies. Developers are complaining. The tech press is complaining. Governments are complaining. Now Microsoft is complaining. And Facebook too. Google? Are users complaining? I don’t see that. Does it make a big difference for Apple? How long Apple can stand like this? Continue reading →

    Am I surprised? Nope. Actually, yes, I thought meeting time would have increased much more.

    Dear Apple, you are (again) painting yourself in another form of thermal cornor. Back off while you can. I know, saving your face ain’t easy. #apple #appstore

    As I see it, Twitter could easily differentiates itself from Facebook by actually acting on wrong content and locking their owner out of their account. Something Facebook is not doing. twitter.com/craigsilv…

    Dear iOS developers: be careful when considering widget design and content. Space on my iPhone screen is more constrained than ever with iOS 14. Here is a bad example: showing the three most recent tweets from my twitter timeline is useless as I’m following many hundreds persons. Be more creative than this. Continue reading →

    Apple is really not done with Intel in the Mac. It is clear to me that Apple Silicon will find its way in lower end machines first, certainly portable ones with today’s announcements.

    Aside from the iMac updates coming out of Apple today, here is another (more important) news: Phil Schiller is now an Apple Fellow. That was not expected. People come and go. Mr. Schiller as done a lot for Apple. Time to (slowly) move on. I don’t like Greg “Joz” Jozwiak. Continue reading →

    Apple certainly gained a lot of ground in the tablet market during the pandemic. But according to these numbers, the increase was even better for other players in the field.
