Leaving Redmond Oregon today and heading down to a salt flat in southeastern oregon.
Hello from Oregon.
@tvaziri I watched Monster and Fury Road recently. Charlize is perfect in both films. A real master.
DRNK.
Feeling super weird that I'm not going to be back in this office until September 3rd. Going to be weird being gone this long. I'll still have a job but I won't be working. Just odd. All my choice and the next couple of months are going to be interesting in the mental clarity I should …
@sdw I'm digging the Six Colors Stage. Looks like a longer lens but the depth aided by lens + composition (trees + grass) and I expect, being low to the ground? It really pulls you in. Nice job.
Last day in the office and my motorcycle has arrived in Oregon.
...and relieved I didn't spend $2500 on a new iPad.
I expected to be whelmed but I'm pretty underwhelmed.
I was going to install today's developer betas for my upcoming trip but there's really nothing that is exciting enough that I can't just wait for public release in the fall.
Genmoji means @gruber gets his long requested Chef's Kiss.
If Apple is building this many email and notification features, ya'll really need to learn how to manage email and notifications.
It appears I will have to use voice for everything? I want to invoke Siri via Action Button and use the keyboard instead of voice. I guess that's not in the cards, yet?
Apple will literally go to the ends of the earth to not say "AI"
I know it's completely configurable but Apple adding iOS Notifications to MacOS just reinforces the Justin Long Qualcomm video.
Let's lean in though. I want iOS to do math for me! I want to present a problem with my voice or text and have it do this for me. I don't need to know Algebra to find out how large a room is and if the couch I want to buy fits in it without blocking the door from opening or if I need to …
Yeah confirmed, I don't know what any of those formulas mean. Why put a parentheses around numbers? I'm not even going to bother googling that.
"It makes solving math easier than ever” Craig assumes that by giving me a calculator on iPadOS, I'll suddenly be able to just know how to do math.
Six Platforms. That's a lot, Apple.
I dare Apple to throw out MacOS and start over.
People keep saying well these are mature platforms, what do you expect? 16 Years after the Mac was unveiled, we got OS X 6 years after iOS, we got iOS 7 which totally reset the UI Macintosh is now 40 years old. iPhone 17 years, iPad 14 years and watch, 10 years and it feels like we're about to …
I think Apple is still playing it too safely and I want them to push the envelope on cutting-edge.
Another one? Sure, allow power users to cast their iPhone or iPad as a bare-bones MacOS-like terminal when connected to a keyboard, mouse and display. Let me use full Mail.app with just my iPhone when at a hotel business center. We have super computers in our phones and yet I'm still carrying …
Sure another example, completely re-write Spotlight to scan every accessible file locally, connected and on-network and surface things important to me, offer context, clean things up and propose automations to repetitive tasks without me having to write Apple script or open Shortcuts.
Just one example, I want Apple to automate my video workflow. Give me one-touch fixes to audio and color grading and auto-editing then export those in formats that are friendly for both widescreen and vertical video from video captured on 5 different source devices.
