    I have been pondering if I should terminate my account for several months. Well, I guess this helped me decide if I should terminate.

    PS: don’t forget to download all your work before terminating the service.

  • No, Apple is not going to delete the Clown emoji from the iPhone

    This sort of Internet nonsense reminds me of children's playgrounds. There are groups of bulliers, special groups, secret groups, rejects, and whatnots and everyone has something to say about each other to get under their skins.

    Words and symbols are fluid, they can be anything our free will chooses to give to them.

    Lately, we have been like fragile china dolls — quick to judge, condemn, and exile someone over something said.

    Whatever, they are only words and symbols that could evolve in a few moments, a few years, or a few lifetimes. The power they have is apparently from how much power our free will chooses to give to them. We have the free will to let a clown emoji turn our fragile emotions into a raging sea storm or to turn it into something else, like a babbling brook  ;)

  • A San Francisco highway near Apple Park wasn't pretty enough, so it got deleted

    Unimaginative and shortsighted of some folks to see this as a thing to fuss about. 

    It was a vision of what could be the future for the Bay Area — mass transit so well thought out that they could give up a freeway for more natural space; or the freeway was moved underground like, in reality, the sea of asphalt for parking cars that was moved underground and topped with natural space for Apple’s headquarter.

    Anyway, silly thing to complain about. It was not a documentary and it was not supposed to be a functional map, it was a make-belief backdrop for an advertisement. Besides, is there ever a freeway that is esthetically pleasing that anyone would want one to slice through their neighborhoods? We often imagine them gone, and replaced with a better alternative.

    Every reality began with an imagination. We are doomed to continue living in an environment we do not like if we could not or would not imagine what we could do to bring a better future closer to reality.

  • New Apple Pencil may be called 'Apple Pencil Pro'

    I am guessing maybe some sort of haptic feedback. Such as, as you write or draw on the glass surface, the feedback could mimic the sensation of a paper surface.

  • Computing would be totally different had Apple not been formed 49 years ago, today

    A company can still be profitable and wealthy without being greedy and selfish.

    I applaud Apple and other profitable companies that established their business model on compassion because they love what they do. 

    The late CEO, Allen D. Kelly, of the PR company I used to work for in San Francisco said this to me: If you love what you do, it will show, and people will come back to you for more.

    This thought took me on a journey that changed my idea of making profits and amassing wealth:

    There is nothing unethical about making profits and amassing wealth. Still, there is so much wrong with them if they are at the expense of other humans, animals, and Earth because such a business model only leaves behind a trail of mess of depleted resources and very angry and bitter humans. Regarding the latter, remember Marie Antoinette? She lost her head.
