San Francisco Apple Store.

Took this a few years ago. Popped up in my widgets just now.

Love this photo, especially love the reflection. Very clean.

From Apple Support, an Apple Pencil Pro video showing actions, gestures, features, and settings.

Worth watching if you are thinking of buying one...

Steve Jobs and Bill Gates, definitely my favorite from my previous post.

Look at the fondness in their smiles. Wonder what they were thinking.

"Samsung mocks Apple’s crushing iPad Pro ad with its own ‘UnCrush’ pitch"

Watch the ad. Clever? Easy pickings to mock your rivals mistake?

Me? I thought it was meh. Samsung has done way better, like that ad where someone got a "notch" haircut when iPhone came out with the notch. That one was wicked.

In the future, I ask my AI to:

• Create a season of the Sopranos where Carmella takes over the family business

Where does the 💰 go? Assuming it's just for private consumption, not for resale.

• Do the actors get paid?
• Will I pay my AI a fee?
• Will this new form of entertainment kill the studios?
• What will future Apple look like? Will Vision Pro-like glasses become the primary biz?

From 14 years ago, here's the original Siri demo.

This is aspirational, not a show of features, but still, there's a tantalizing promise there that we never reached.

But watch that GPT 4o demo I posted earlier with this video in mind. To me, feels like we are much closer to that original dream.

OpenAI's demo of "GPT 4o" (link below) is astonishing. The demo itself starts at about 9 minutes in.

Can't help but think about Siri and how high the bar is for Apple.

26 days until WWDC.

On M4 iPad Pro "bend protection":

"Apple's senior VP John Ternus reveals that Apple has added a new protective "cowling" over main logic board...not only helps with heat dissipation, but also "effectively creates a central rib that runs through the whole thing and tremendously improves the stiffness"

From M4 iPad Pro review by @joannastern

"iPadOS is far less capable than macOS"

"It's like having the power of a Ferrari, but driving it on a golf course"

Read the words, watch the video. My 2 cents, I wish I could run macOS on that M4 Apple Silicon, or get an iPadOS redo.

Apple:

"users will now get an “[Item] Found Moving With You” alert on their device if an unknown Bluetooth tracking device is seen moving with them over time, regardless of the platform the device is paired with"

This is Apple and Google partnering to detect tracking devices.

Works on iOS 17.5, Android 6.0+ devices.

Anyone out there a fan of air fryers?

Went to a dinner last night, folks were raving about their air fryers. This something worth exploring? A fad?

I'm particularly interested in cooking veggies, like broccoli, zucchini, etc. This better than roasting in an oven?

On Warner Bros (Greta Gerwig?) filing a copyright takedown on this patriarchy discussion:

"you made the fucking movie to get a message across and to get people talking and someone posts a thoughtful video essay about the central issue of the film and you fucking take it down?"
