Worth a 🎇 for hitting (& briefly exceeding) the $300 mark today.

Something something Johnny Apple cede?

Strong agree on the latter - “Mind the oranges, Marlon!” AFAIK, Rebellion (owners of 2000AD) have been hawking their IP round Hollywood for many years, so the success of this film may get other ones greenlit. Edit: spealing misteak

Man - FW400 and 800! That was living…

I wonder how much of bite the Neo will take out of the MBA sales. Thought prompted by my youngest daughter (early 20s) with a failing intel MBA from her Uni. days, who is now considering one rather than an MX MBA.

Apple could own the Emo/Goth market segment with a Vantablack version, Anish Kapoor-willing.

Or a bottle of Yellow Chartreuse (to satisfy my inner Joris-Karl Huysmans).

Or if a policeman can’t read your T-shirt properly. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/aug/18/protester-arrested-wearing-plasticine-action-t-shirt-palestine-gaza-protest (Later de-arrested).

In a similar vein, I set my iPad to “Update Tonight”, however I clearly didn’t appreciate that that means “the next time the device is locked and the battery has enough charge”, so my plan to watch the T20WC match is delayed for another quarter of an hour or so. 🤦‍♂️

Great poster. Tool indeed…

Clearly a driver of AAPL to an all-time high today…

Huzzah! 26.1 brings back focus on an air-dropped photo, rather than just opening Photo and leaving me at the Library. File under “little things that make me happier”.

If you’ll excuse the digression, I can attest to this. Back in the late Eighties, I frequented a tailor whose father made suits for Names and Faces in Fifties and Sixties London, including various East End gangsters. He told me that in order to accommodate his yuppy clients’ chunky mobile phone...

This story on the BBC website yesterday about a garbled transcription can’t help public perception of the unreliability of AI-derived services. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c0l1kpz3w32o “Egg freckles?”

Gonna need a bigger boat jar…

First mow of the year, and I’m about 5 minutes in to the job on the ride-on mower when I get a buzz on the wrist - “do you want to record an outdoor cycle?” I know I’m neither a fast nor energetic cyclist, but I feel somewhat slighted by my watch…

That’s poor - Shirley close to the point that they hand you a refurbished higher model?

On the 40% price bump alone, I’ll be getting a replacement battery in my iPhone 13 mini when required.
