    The "making of" video on YouTube was actually really neat to watch.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=APJAQoSCwuA

  • Tim Cook highlights The Beatles' last song on Apple Music

    So the song was originally recorded as a demo by John Lennon in 1977, after the Beatles broke up.  They used AI to strip the vocals and put fresh music behind it.  Did Ringo play drums and Paul play guitar or bass on the re-recorded music backing Lennon's vocals?

    If not is it really a Beatles song or more of a John Lennon song?


    /edit. Actually the wikipedia page for the song has a lot of information on what went into making this release happen.  Interesting read.  In short: Yes, all the Beatles worked on this track at some point over the decades.

  • How Apple's iPhone 15 Pro Max captured the 'Scary Fast' Apple Event

    The fact we are even having this conversation shows just how incredible smartphone cameras have become over the last decade.

    If you had told me that this level of quality was going to be possible on a smart phone the size of the iPhone 15 Pro Max back in 2007 when the OG iPhone launched I would have laughed you out of the room.  Sure it was clear back then that smartphone processing power would get better and better, but at the time there was a clear limit to what you could do with optical glass and image sensors.  Sure, I expected them to get better, but never thought it would hit the level we are currently at.

     Looking back at the pics I took on my original iPhone compared to what is possible now?  It's incredible.   All bets are off for what these devices will do in 15 more years.

  • Epic 'Killers of the Flower Moon' flops at the box office

    I actually planned on seeing this in the theaters but decided to pass on it when I realized how long it is.  These days I can't tolerate much over two, maybe two and a half hours in an actual theater.   I'll watch it at home for sure though.

  • FCC permits consumer products to utilize more of the 6GHz band, benefiting Apple

    Nothing to do with the article but I'm also going to chime in hoping to see apple bring back the Airport line with modern standards.  I am still using the several of the last generation base stations scattered around as hardwired wifi access points.   I did switch my primary router to a Wifi 6 unit though.

    I'll hop on the 6E/7 bandwagon at some point.  Thankfully I don't live in a dense wifi environment so the older equipment works pretty well.
