I was in San Francisco for a friend’s wedding and a job interview, and the one day I had free I decided to finally make my pilgrimage to 1 Infinite Loop. I parked in visitor parking and walked to the company store. The place was absolutely dead, and when someone finally came to ring me up, they apologized because the site had just launched so everyone had gathered to see it go live. I may have made the last physical purchase on hallowed grounds before the online store came to life.

I'll admit, even with Fire Sticks and an Apple TV, our 4 y/o Roku is still our go-to device. Simple to navigate, easy to search, great little remote (even though I use a Harmony more often), and the ability to connect headphones to the remote is pure genius. I am more than happy to be a product so they can be profitable. Any advertising they do on the system isn't intrusive at all.

A building that 99.99999% of the world will never see in person or use is more design-worthy than every advancement of an iPhone, or AirPods or Watch as mentioned?

I have to admit, I'm not sure having separate Mac apps for different types of media is a step in the right direction. I get offloading iOS apps and Apple wanting you to sync through the cloud, and there could always be a lightweight desktop backup app. But having one repository for *media* files just makes more sense to me, like iTunes or Plex.
