  • Oceanic+ Dive Housing turns iPhone into an underwater camera & dive computer

    tahoejr said:
    I have been looking for a solid iphone housing solution for underwater photography.  Existing options are just the point and shoot variety or bulky high end configurations.  Looking forward to seeing the reviews for how this all fully integrates with the phone and quality of pictures/video. 
    iJustine on Youtube published her impressions on the case yesterday.

  • Thieves ditch hidden AirTag in Vancouver car jacking

    Buy two. Put one in a fairly obvious place, the other well hidden. If they find the obvious one and discard it, it will lull them into thinking that they scored.

  • Apple Silicon Mac Pro debut finally ends transition away from Intel processors

    Freaking letdown. Wow. Total disrespect to the Mac Pro. There’s no reason to buy one over a Mac Studio unless you need specialized I/O. With the starting price, looks like Apple really doesn’t want to deal with the Mac Pro anymore. 

    It’s obvious they just want to get max out of the way to get to what they really want to get to. 
    Well, I think they recognize that they can't keep the 2019 Mac Pro on the market forever. And I expect that there will be a big upgrade a year from now once M3 is a thing. There's an Extreme version out there somewhere. And that won't be available on the Mac Studio.

  • Mac gaming staple 'Marathon' is being resurrected by Bungie and Sony

    Back in 1992, I had the pleasure of eating dinner with the Bungie team at Macworld Boston. One of my questions for the team was who did a very memorable scream from the game. Sure enough, that scream came from the guy sitting next to me. Much laughter ensued.

    ”Thank God it’s you!!” <BOOM>  This was the OG of dirty tricks from a game designer in a 3D game. Man I miss the original Marathon.

  • Apple's first-ever retail store at Tyson's Corner is moving to a new location

    My soon-to-be wife and I were living in the DC area when the Tyson's Corner store opened and while I wasn't planning on going that first day, we ended up at the Tyson Corner Mall that Saturday for other things and I was curious to see what the reaction to the opening of Apple's first retail store was. The line was out the door, down the concours, up the stairs and down another concours. There had to be at least 300 people waiting to get in. Keep in mind that these were the days where Apple only sold Macs. The iPod wouldn't debut until months later. Apple at that point relied on mom and pop computer stores (many that had been with Apple since the 70s and 80s), few regional chains and the one big national chain, CompUSA. Apple had little control of its retail experience and it was uncertain at the time whether the retail experiment would succeed.
