I almost forgot that I have a Podcast (in french). My last recording goes back to last summer. I didn’t mention it on my blogger workflow. Too insignificant I guess.

I know this one is fake but if the rumoured iPhone 9, or iPhone SE// or whatever they call it looks like this fake model, I kind of like it… especially the edges that looks like the one on the iPad Pro. Get rid of the bezels and voilà! But it’s not going to happen. #apple #iphone twitter.com/WhatTheBi… Continue reading →

One of the things that I don’t like with Apple Music.app is this: the visual feedback that comes with adding or loving a song. Too obstructive, too slow. Reminds me of the volume hud… that Apple finally got rid of with iOS 13. Oh, and by the way, why burry Add and Love in a sub-menu? Agree? #applemusic #apple #ui #ux #design Continue reading →

Asking my dear network of friends: I’d like to be able to put a widget of Google analytics on my iPad home screen. Do you know of any iOS apps that can do this? I’ll pay for it if the design is up to my taste. Something along the line of this one (which is no longer being maintained). Thanks. 🙏🏻 apps.apple.com/ca/app/ga… Continue reading →

Another prime example of Microsoft great efforts in designing visually appealing UI elements: icons. I love those very much. Can’t get out of my head the simple thought that they are getting better at design than Apple on the desktop OS front? Oh and pay attention to the mail icon design evolution from the very beginning to 2020. link.medium.com/cZ3Azyjnf… Continue reading →

Nice summary of opinions about iPad’s ten years anniversary by Mike Rockwell. And I second his own point of view on iPad current state of affair. #apple #ipad #ipados The State of iPad - Initial Charge

Because I’m a freak of visitors statistics in general, I just enabled Google Analytics for this micro.blog. Just another way to see if I get any attention (I’m not attention freak though!). 😊

You know what? When reading replies on Twitter, I rarely go past 5 replies… this is usually the point where things are getting either ugly, out of control and not related to the original tweet. This is why I think social networks are not good instruments for debate and discussions. Continue reading →

I expect Apple to go ahead with this, allowing the users to set a default browser or mail client on iOS. Changing defaults is part of a modern OS and this would be, in my opinion, another step towards the upcoming ARM-based Macs running iPadOS. 9to5mac.com/2020/02/2… Continue reading →

This is the Microsoft that I like. This is what I would love from Apple. The new Office app for iPhone. 😍🥰 #microsoft #apple #office #office365

So baffling to me that Apple seems unable to fix Mail’s toolbar in iOS 13… what was the problem again with iOS 12’s version? 🤔🙄 #apple #ios134beta twitter.com/bzamayo/s…

On Photoshop turning 30. The last version on which I really spent time was version 3. Other game changer apps? Multiplan. Pagemaker. twitter.com/flargh/st…

Oopsy, that is certainly something that Apple doesn’t want to get out. It may be already too late. This could get ugly. 🍿 Apple demands pull of tell-all App Store book over confidentiality issues

Why, oh why? If I was blogging for fame, I would close all this shit right away! So, why am I doing all this? That’s the question that’s lingering in my head this morning. I guess this is a typital thing to ask myself, dear blogger. #blogger #bloggerlife #blogging

Are we ready for a new social network? Do we need this? Judging by their website, the nice design of Cocoon certainly looks enticing. But do we need this? It will take a lot of traction to make people leave Facebook or other well established data-ungry players. I certainly hope new players to come in and shake this rotten industry. Judge for yourself. cocoon.com Continue reading →

When evaluating a new app for my own use, the first things I look for are (in no particular order): update frequency, update notes quality, user ratings, multi-platform support (macOS, iOS, iPad support), sync mecanism used, one-time purchase vs subscription based, web service backend. I may elaborate on this subject on a longer blog post in the near future. Currently using this against Raindrop.io apps.apple.com/app/id102… Continue reading →

Nobody asked for these phones… you are trying too hard. To all smartphone companies: fix your software, stop tracking us without our consent, stop selling our data, be transparent with each updates and the “feature” they bring, implement rules against tracking features that comes in most apps these days and end up on your App Stores, etc. . twitter.com/mondoir/s… Continue reading →

For those wonder about using Medium as a publishing platform. Here is a summary for my last four publications. See the difference when a story gets approved? The last three stories were not approved for publication behind their paywall. Not cool. It is a hit or miss and so you don’t want to build too much confidence in the platform to help build any form of sustainable revenue, even small. Continue reading →

Here is a citation of Galieo. In the age of social medias where it all comes down to opinion sharing and amplification, I find it to be disturbingly on point. twitter.com/proffeynm…
