Starting to get the feeling AirPower might not ship in 2018, you guys.

Let’s play What If:
What if Barack Obama had 5 children with 3 different women?
Democratic senators should say this:
“No president who lost the popular vote should get to fill a SCOTUS vacancy. Let the people decide.”
AirPower feels like the sort of thing Apple would release on a Friday afternoon.
I don’t gamble. I don’t drink. My one vice is buying a new iPhone every summer.
Well, that and lying about drinking and gambling.
I’ve watched this like 23 times. More like this, please.

Apple opened up about the future of the Mac Pro. It’s good news. No joke.

John HyphenThis is as Steve Jobs-y as any Steve Jobs story gets. I love it. There are books about Steve Jobs that reveal less about him than this tweet.

(4) at one point steve wanted to turn UIKit elements orange. not just any orange, he wanted a particular orange from the button on a certain old sony remote. we got a bunch of remotes from sony with orange buttons to try and find the right one. in the end, steve hated it.
Trump comes back.
Trump at next rally: “Elon Musk, he called me. He said ‘Sir, sir, I need you to come back on Twitter. The company’s ratings have been terrible ever since you left.’ Elon Musk begged me like a dog. Sad! He begged me to come back.”
Musk bans Trump again.
“Westworld” is a lot like “Lost” except that it makes more sense, not less, as time goes on, and that’s inordinately satisfying as a viewer.

AirPower must be well and truly fucked. No one at Apple will say a word about it, even off the record. And as a result they didn’t even mention inductive charging during the event, even though the XS and XR both charge faster than the X.
Pence getting booed at “Hamilton”: a fart in the wind.

Best moment: Trump says “No one respects women more than me” and audience laughs so long and hard Chris Wallace has to tell them to stop.
Unpopular opinion but true: Google Docs blows chunks for user experience.
“40 million songs on your wrist” makes “1000 songs in your pocket” seem like a long time ago.
These fuckers are just taking a shit on America. On the very ideal of democracy.
If you voted for Trump, you’re one of them.
I wish you could delete apps right from the App Store Updates tab. When I see an update is pending for an app I never use, I just want to delete it right there.
You can see how these idiots lost money running casinos.

As someone who’s set up 5 new devices in the last week, my advice is to restore a new iPhone with the device-to-device transfer, not iCloud. Don’t worry if it says it might take a little longer.
Device-to-device is better IMO because it moves over *all* your login credentials.
I’m starting to think this Elon Musk fellow isn’t hooked up right.
They really are dipshits:

—Quarts.

Trump just gave the most embarrassing concession speech that will ever be delivered.
A few seconds after I snapped this photo, one of them noticed what I was using to take the photo.
Has anyone ever gotten in any sort of trouble at all for not having one of those stupid fucking cookie disclaimer dickbars on their website?
Not sure Cook should have listed this as a reason for slower than expected iPhone sales. Sure makes it sound like the old way of handling battery degradation was intended to drive people to buy new phones.
Fuck you and your App Store release notes that never say anything more than “The latest version includes bug fixes and performance improvements.”
does release notes right.

Just another day being unable to order takeout because iOS 15 Safari’s bottom bar makes this checkout button untappable.
thanks Safari for not letting me have that bruschetta 
The best thing about this copy-paste permission alert that is driving everyone nuts in iOS 16: the apostrophe in “Don’t Allow Paste” is the wrong one. It’s upside down.
The new volume HUD in iOS 13 is delightful. Notice how it is physically aligned with the hardware volume buttons. This position and the animation make hardware and software feel as one.
You would think “100%” is a condition the “chance of rain” complication would be designed to handle.
The Eagles just won their first Super Bowl ever and Chris Collinsworth can’t shut up about how great the Patriots are.
This is how you do a movie poster.
Also, wonderful homage to Ralph McQuarrie’s style. This works as well in 2019 as it would have in 1977.
No spoilers:
I loved “The Rise of Skywalker” like no Star Wars movie since the original trilogy.
That palpable sense of camaraderie was there, and it just hit so many great notes. JJ Abrams nailed it.
Is Night Shift really deserving of this much real estate in Control Center? Don’t people who use it set it to auto?
Really starting to look like those Biden “46” hats might be valuable collector’s items. Like misprinted baseball cards or mis-minted coins.
Last four iPhone events:
5: Wed 12 Sept 2012

6: Tue 9 Sept 2014
6S: Wed 9 Sept 2015
I bet this year’s is Wed 7 Sept.

If you’re more outraged over Samantha Bee calling Ivanka Trump a nasty word than you are over the topic of the segment, which included footage of immigrant children forced to sleep inside locked cages, you’re not hooked up right. Grow up.
Did you know there are games for Apple Watch? My favorite: launching any app and seeing if anything other than a spinner appears on screen.
The angle Dems should play is not that Trump’s taxes show that he’s a cheat, but that they reveal him as a LOSER.
Feign surprise. “I knew he exaggerated about his finances but I can’t believe he’s so broke he only had to pay $750 in income tax.”
Ridicule is his kryptonite.

Biden should say: “I will fight to protect Social Security for *every* American, even Donald Trump, who we now know will need it.”
What are the odds that we can we can get Trump to come out against “Arabic numerals”? Let’s make this happen.
It’s a little weird that the video for today’s House antitrust hearing goes through YouTube, a monopoly owned by one of the companies testifying, right?
So is Jerry Falwell Jr. speaking at the RNC to endorse Trump again this year or not?
Batman vs. Superman 2: Bruce Wayne spends millions secretly bankrolling a decade of lawsuits that bankrupt The Daily Planet.
Honest question: Why are Trump supporters so numerous, and show up for his rallies, but did not take to the streets in joy like we are now when he won in 2016, and, infamously, didn’t even show up at his inauguration?
My strong advice to MacOS Big Sur users, if it’s not too late for you already, is NOT to upgrade to Safari 15.
The new tabs are terrible. I’ve tried them, given them a fair shot, but they’re ugly at best, and I find them genuinely confusing. I feel lost.
Took me 30 seconds to figure this out, but I got it. Trump just switched from an iPhone 8 with a home button to an iPhone 11 without one, and he doesn’t like it.

To Tim: The Button on the IPhone was FAR better than the Swipe!
You should almost never use “No” and “Yes” for buttons in a confirmation dialog. Seriously, every time you see No/Yes it should be considered a bug.
In this case, I’d suggest “Cancel” and “Unlink Dropbox”. The button labels should be descriptive verbs.

Trump appears to place blame on Pittsburgh synagogue for lack of security: "They didn't have any protection. They had a maniac walk in, and they didn't have any protection, and that is just so sad to see. So sad to see. The results could have been much better."
The single worst user experience I hit on a daily basis is YouTube on iPad. I tried to tap (1) to full-screen with the video, but accidentally tap (2) the timeline, which skips me to the very end of the video. Every single time.

Nothing shown today really qualifies as meeting high “innovation only” expectations: Apple delivered the smallest Watch update ever, an iPad with a slightly bigger screen and nothing more, and iPhones with cameras equal to or less than many other devices. Apple needs a big 2020. twitter.com/markgurman/sta…
I can't recall an Apple memo or statement that crumbles so quickly under scrutiny. For a company that usually measures umpteen times before cutting anything, it’s both sad and startling.
I’d feel a bit more sympathy for women named “Karen” but my name is, somehow, both a synonym for a toilet and a prostitute’s client. So I think you Karens will be just fine.
