Wow, that cursor responsiveness was atrocious.   

Walt's doing the best he can! He's got trouble on the home front.

 I can’t even watch the presentations with new hardware anymore because of Tim Cook.

Does he stand beside you and swat your device from your hand? Hip check you? Caper about in an annoying but oddly erotic fashion? Jack with your wifi?

That's a sweet array of RCA jacks.

Although cameras are important - is there starting to be too much being done with cameras on phones? At the rate we are going it will get like men’s razors with 5 blades or more where the idea is “it has more so therefore it has to be better”.   I prefer a real dslr camera for real photography.   

I own a weekly newspaper, and recently visited an accident scene at dusk, armed with a Nikon D5000 with external flash, and an iPhone X. The Nikon pics were unprintable, but my phone photos were relatively great. I may have been able to futz with camera settings enough to get decent pic, but I got photography that was real enough without it.

I wholeheartedly agree on razors. I loaded up on 65 Schick FX blades, which were discontinued for the sin of having only dual blades and being too comfortable to use.

Unlike the old style Bluetooth earpieces for a cellphone which made you like the Borg on Star Trak the Airpod are hardly noticeable. Apple once again hit on what people really want, so much so the design is being knocked off all over the place. 

I was out making my rounds one morning and saw a friend who is a bit of a Luddite/contrarian who lacks even a single Apple product. (What a bleak existence!) After a few minutes of chatting, he said, "Nice earphones, man. Those are cool." Damn tootin' they are!
