Lucky they didn't put MAHU on those skis.

I still haven’t seen or read anything that makes the Apple Watch compelling. It seems to have all come down to one question.

Are you constantly pulling your phone out of your pocket to check on things?

If yes, then possibly get an Apple Watch.
If no, then there probably isn’t much the Apple Watch is going to offer you.

I’ve read a lot of reviews that mirror that sentiment. It seems to be a tool for extreme busybodies who always feel they need to be connected for whatever reason, or at least those seem to be the types that are dishing out the rave reviews.

Personally I believe constant digital connectivity is a big cause of depression and anxiety and this is just one more tool to further that.

They are the most absorbed in their phone screen when crossing a busy street. It's Frogger 3D.

I don't know I think it may be like some drugs in that it's exploiting the person's psyche. It depends on the person. Or 50/50

Whoever wants his psyche exploited will find something to exploit it.
Could be hilarious, though, if in the next zombie-themed movie, they portrayed them staring at smartphones.

I'm always excited to hear a brit doing an american accent.

Oh and look another typecast comedian going for the grammy role.

Other than that, isn't it too late?

Burnout, anyone?

It should wipe that foul taste from the Kutcher one though.

Trying to set my mom up with the new Photos cloud syncing by first uploading the photos from her Mac to the cloud.

She has over 20,000 photos and videos at over 100GB.

I had a little over 800 photos and that took several days to complete the upload. It seems at least on Yosemite when your Mac goes to sleep it stops uploading, nothing happens in the background.

And for some fucked up reason if you previously put photos on your Mac using a cable when you switch to cloud sync it will erase all those photos from your iPhone. It should at least ask if you want to keep them, but no. So you must first sync the photos on the Photos app on your Mac before you switch it on, on your iPhone.

Weird. An alchemy update in the app store

It lets you restore any IAPs you might have had.

I can’t wait to see what the Camel Audio team adds to Logic …by 2018 if we’re lucky.

I wonder what it’s like working for the Logic team. I can’t imagine it’s exactly the same as the rest of the more consumer based Apple departments. Updates and upgrades happen to Logic when they happen. It’s never expected or talked about. So I doubt the same deadline pressure is there.

There's always deadline pressure in any corporate job I think.

Animoog got a really nice update today as well, huge amount of bus fixes and compatibility is sues sorted.

I’m sure but it can’t be anywhere near the pressure of Apple’s annual iOS/OSX/idevice release expectations. If Apple missed one of those their stock would plummet to $5 a share and they’d have to layoff half their employees.
