“When you think about the Infinite Loop, not just the store, but the campus, that’s where the original iPod was created, and that’s where the original iPhone and iPad were also made.

A powerful, deeply integrated desktop-class browser will make the Vision Pro useful and powerful from day one. Apple should embrace Safari, allow other desktop-class browsers, and treat the Vision Pro like the power user platform it is.

It’s another thing entirely for the government to say that Apple has to design its products for Samsung to piggyback on and then offer to their loyal customers as a perk of not doing business with Apple. Investigators are spending taxpayer dollars to find out why the Apple Watch works more smoothly with the iPhone than with rival brands.
I can only describe what followed as a moment of divine intervention. A little voice inside my head whispered, “Take a chance, tell them you know about the Macintosh and you’d really like to publish Macworld.”
“How about we publish Macworld?” I said.
“Macworld, about the Macintosh, that’s a great idea,” Fred answered.”But how did you know about the Macintosh?”
“Bill Gates told me.”
“Well, we’re glad he did.” The whole room lit up, and thus Macworld was conceived.
I miss the ability to, after watching a movie, read what Mr Roger Ebert's thoughts about the movie I've just watched.
