Got Loop’d
It is always a pleasure to be linked to from The Loop. Yesterday, one of my posts about Photos for OS X and what I think can be done to improve it, was linked to (at my behest) by Dave Mark. My link is in good company there. Be sure to check out the other…

Improving Photos for OS X and iOS and iCloud Photo Library
I’ll start out this post, as most empathic developers would, by saying that I realize how hard syncing is. It is incredibly hard to get right. The fact that it works at all is magic. It is amazing. And I’m tickled that I even have it. That being said, we’re a few years away from…

Further iCloud Photo Library observations
On March 29th I began syncing to iCloud Photo Library using Photos on OS X. Today, over a month later, I’m just over halfway done. For context, you may want to read Photo stats and observations, and A few iCloud Photo Library observations. As with those last two posts I’m going to provide a laundry…

Year one of the Apple Watch
In January I wrote: The Apple Watch could be called a flop if it sold so poorly and customer demand or interest was so low that Apple totally shelved the project. But they haven’t. I’m willing to bet they made a lot of money on the Watch so far (far more than any of their…

A few iCloud Photo Library observations
Somewhat related: Photo stats and observations. I began the switch to iCloud Photo Library a few days ago and so far it has been a mixed experience. Since weaving a good narrative is not in my wheelhouse, here is a laundry list of observations that I’ve made over the last few days. iCloud Photo Library…

Photo stats and observations
As I’ve been moving my photos from Picturelife into Photos for OS X over the passed two weeks I’ve run across some interesting observations so I thought I’d jot them down.  Here are some statistics in no particular order: We take a lot of photos in October, August, and June. This is…

The Apple Watch is the original iPhone
I really liked this comparison by Michael D. Shear for the New York Times and I think it is spot on. My wife has an Apple Watch. I’d call her a “light user” of the Watch. She wears it every day but mainly uses it for glancing at text messages. There are a myriad of…

Is the Apple Watch a flop?
Fred Wilson going over his predictions from last year: The Apple Watch was a flop. This is the one I took the most heat on. So I feel a bit vindicated on this point. No sources cited here. I have read many “the Apple Watch is a flop” pieces but none of them have convinced me…

Trying iOS, Android, and Windows
Fred Wilson: I plan to go back to iOS when the next iPhone ships, and then back to Android six months after that. In this way, I can stay current on both operating systems and ecosystems which I think is useful in my business. I wish I could do this again. For a time I…

I’d love to see Windows Phone become the third horse in the smartphone OS race
Fred Wilson, on _Android and iOS_: But I find myself rooting hard for Apple now. I sense the danger they are in and I don’t want either smartphone OS to be so dominant that we lose the level playing field we have now. It’s very important for startups, innovation, and an open mobile ecosystem for…

How to put Apple EarPods back in the case
YouTube user TechisGeek has a video showing how to put Apple EarPods back in the case. You’ll only need to watch the first 45 seconds before you say "I got it." I struggled with this all weekend. Not anymore.
