This is a wallet which only holds two cards and is not good.

Interesting review given that he is coming from my top bag choice, the GR1. If there’s one complaint I heart about the GR1, it’s the weight, but that weight is what makes it so damn good to carry. You don’t notice the weight on your back, but you do notice it when you pick up […]

Talking about iPads, talking about basic apps, talking about your questions, talking about the multi-tasking and two handed usage.

A fantastic “nothing is there” wallet which can expand a lot, and that turns out to be a problem for me.

Fantastic set of testing for blade steels. Really interesting to see where things like S30V and S35VN fall in comparison to M390 (my current favorite steel). Be sure to read part 2 as well.

Eugene Kan: In the words of Abe: “We don’t see ourselves as a lifestyle brand. We don’t focus on it too much. Apple doesn’t care who buys it, they focus on making the best possible product. You can do whatever you want with it. It’s not like if you buy it you’ll look like a surfer […]

I may not use the Mac anymore, but Transmit is one hell of an app. This one adds Rackspace support, which gives me oh so much hope that this support with come to iOS.

A really great pair of pants for warmer hikes, they are like nothing is there.

Lily Hay Newman: “It can process 12 billion transactions per day on one machine. If you take something like Cyber Monday there’s probably about 30 million transactions that go on,” says Barlow. “So one of these machines can process that kind of crazy workload without even breaking a sweat in less than a day.” Woah.

Some jackass: “Youngish people need structure,” he said, adding that they have small apartments and might not have a good place to work, anyway. He still offers flex time and lets workers leave at 3:00 p.m. on Fridays.  “I think people have to be trusted,” Laermer said.  “But the working-from-home thing has to be on a […]

Om Malik: And I can’t believe that in 2017 and the notifications have stayed dumb, and are still be used as away to goose daily active user numbers. And these are from companies that paint a future controlled and shaped by artificial intelligence. I hate most non-messaging notifications with a passion.

This week: OmniGraffle 3, Control Center in iOS 11, and my move away from 1Password.

Dave, for AgileBits: And you need not worry about 1Password 7 for Mac, either, as it will continue to support standalone vaults just like version 6 does today. Whew? This post would have been so much better if it weren’t for all the hyperbole to start the post. I’ve read this post several times now […]

MIT Technology Review: Teleportation has become a standard operation in quantum optics labs around the world. The technique relies on the strange phenomenon of entanglement. This occurs when two quantum objects, such as photons, form at the same instant and point in space and so share the same existence. In technical terms, they are described […]
