Top Gear Is Officially Dead From Gear Patrol
Absolutely brutal take on the new Top Gear hosts. I have yet to see the new show, but I did watch the 90 second preview on iTunes. Here’s the thing, that 90 second preview used to be amazingly entertaining to watch and make me want to buy the show. I left the preview with the […]

Avoiding BlackBerry’s Fate
Marco Arment on, I guess, a potential demise of Apple: ((Perhaps this is more of a warning, or a complaint about iCloud services?)) Today, Amazon, Facebook, and Google are placing large bets on advanced AI, ubiquitous assistants, and voice interfaces, hoping that these will become the next thing that our devices are for.

How it Makes You Feel
Spencer Bentley: People who say, ‘it’s not the camera, it’s the photographer,’ are missing the boat. Sure if you put a ten thousand dollar camera in the hands of a blind raccoon you’re probably not going to get any great photos. But in the same vein, if Ansel Adams, Robert Capa, or Vivian Maier had […]

The first […]
