Absolutely nothing that you do on this phone is private. Alphabet, which owns Google, is an advertising company. They provide search, software, and hardware, and other technologies, solely as a means to spy on us. They build detailed profiles on eac…

I think that Spotify’s stance is down to the fact that they have no choice. Margins are so slim, that simply piping music into somebody’s phone, manufactured by your main industry rival and running their OS and App Store, who will, naturally, want a…

I remember when the debate, in the mid to late 1990s in the UK, was about privacy and being free from surveillance. By the 2000s every inch of the UK was covered by CCTV cameras, and later we ended up with the dystopian-cautionary-tale-from-hell tha…

“I’m so happy with my Samsung,” they say while interacting with a Alphabet/Google/Android product. Yet they don’t seem to realise that Alphabet/Google/Android are advertisers who spy on their every move, and build a detailed profile that they mark…

Why would Apple want to micro-manipulate their share price? They are already fantastically profitable, incredibly competitive, kick-ass technology, a sky-high valuation, etc. Every year they seem to meet or exceed market expectations. It’s Google th…

I wish someone wrote a book or made a documentary (Apple TV… ?) about the iPhone development process. I’d give anything to learn about the process, see the wireframes, prototypes, and everything, and hear about the challenges and breakthroughs. It’s…

I use Apple Notes as a general purpose notes app to replace Evernote that I tended not to use. I rely on Apple Notes a lot. I discovered Notion about a year ago. Now Notion is my heavy-duty Notes app for major projects. Highly recommended, they have…
