Month: September 2017

Good review on the Urban Assault (I reviewed it here). One thing which cracked me up is his score, I’ll not comment on the craziness of his scoring system overall, but this bit is amazing: The score is a bit deceptive.  This is a pack that I would easily count as one of the best […]

This is a really good question from Om Malik

If that’s how good the iPhone 8 Plus camera is, then with the iPhone X… Well does anyone want an X100T?

I finally found an EDC organizer worth carrying.

A great belt for active wear.

Good review. I suspect the iPhone 8 will be, in many ways, a better upgrade for most than the iPhone X.

I miss this app so much (because I don’t use a Mac any more). And I’m so happy to see it still being updated with amazing new features.

Title says it all. So next time you think about when/if Twitter will act on all the user complaints about stuff, well remember the above.

Let’s talk about document collaboration tools.

Marty Swant reporting on advertising groups being super sad about coming privacy standards in Safari: In an open letter expected to be published this afternoon, the groups describe the new standards as “opaque and arbitrary,” warning that the changes could affect the “infrastructure of the modern internet,” which largely relies on consistent standards across websites. […]

This is an awesome update, and I love the new styling. I forgive them for using Medium.

I really want to like this, but persistent connection issues are really troubling me.

Jacqui Cheng: What differentiates Wirecutter from other review sites is the rigor of our review process, the transparency we provide to our readers about that process, and our reader-centric, useful approach to recommendations. The most important thing to us is not to only practice those values when it comes to home and tech, but to […]

Om Malik: Every single event leaves me more in awe of Apple’s semiconductor group – and what they seem to achieve with each passing year. He makes a good case (which I agree with) that Apple’s core strength right now is the silicon which powers iOS. I mean the iPhones are now as “fast” as […]

Napier Lopez: So yeah, Apple’s apparently built a smartphone that’s faster than a 2017 laptop, at least by GeekBench’s metrics. Not just a laptop, a MacBook Pro. Craig Mod, on Twitter: (the thing that will push professionals to iPad is that it will be the fastest machine available) Keep in mind, the iPad Pro typically […]

The iPhone X has one hell of a camera system in it, I suspect, much better than Apple leads on.

A really great video round up on knife edge retention between steels. Really like the insight in this video.

A really good large knife, but a really difficult knife to actually carry with you.

Spaces in iOS 11, websites, and woes.

Siva Vaidhyanathan: The audacity of a hostile foreign power trying to influence American voters rightly troubles us. But it should trouble us more that Facebook makes such manipulation so easy, and renders political ads exempt from the basic accountability and transparency that healthy democracy demands. And profits from it. As much as I dislike Facebook, […]
