  • Redesigned iPhone 17 Pro camera may lead Apple to reposition its logo

    The logo doesn't belong centered in the open space. Apple won't do that.

    That differs from meta, twitter, truth social how?


    Trump was the one who set the ban in motion in the first place back in his first Reign of Error.  That’s my point.

  • If you were underwhelmed by WWDC 2025, you're not alone

    No offense, but are you a developer?  It's a developer conference where developers are introduced to new capabilities introduced in the new OSes.

    You can't judge a conference by its keynote.
    The WWDC Keynote isn't for developers. It started with a TV+ show and had fitness sessions. It also had an absurd number of "product people" showing their diversity by all being "thrilled" to stand in a virtual wasteland speaking the same marketing lingo. None of them would survive 2 minutes in a Standup with developers.

    As for the developer part... Xcode to include ChatGPT. Apple is at least 5 years behind MS and CoPilot. There simply is no Apple AI in Xcode for 2025/26. Somehow there are clients and more clients but no cloud or servers or partnership with cloud providers to tie things together. Cook is the king of iterations but the world is moving at pace.


    It STARTED with an ad for their upcoming theatrical release. They couldn’t even be bothered to do that much for developers.   And FYI, their diversity had nothing to do with anything you were talking about. They were product and engineering and design people, as appropriate to the topic.

  • Liquid Glass tvOS redesign is restricted to second-generation Apple TV 4K and later

    Such a bad idea, the way they’ve implemented the UI on tvOS. You can see it in that included screenshot.  The scrub bar is supposed to give you ONE bit of visual feedback.  Just one:  where’s the current “now playing” point, and it does that by filling in the entire leading side of the bar and leaving as-yet-unfilled the part that is as-yet-unseen.  THAT’S IT. 

    It has nothing to do with what’s going on within the movie.  Nothing. It just needs to stand apart from it visually and thus conceptually as well.   But now it’s got multiple bright and dark segments, in shades of gray, that CHANGE even. DEPENDING.

    Because Apple thinks it’s a good idea to render a thing — over a widely varied movie scene — using a transparent/translucent thin bar of glass that distorts, diffracts and refracts light around it.  

    Because that makes sense when you wanna see where you are, linear time wise, in a mocie’s run time.
