Speculation on one blog this week raised the possibility that Twitter might have turned off access to the apps deliberately because they don't help drive ad revenue. A … | Continue reading
There are tough sells, and there are tough sells. Selling shares of Twitter at $54.20 today could be grist for a sequel to *Glengarry Glen Ross*. | Continue reading
Mark Gurman dropped a seemingly-explosive report yesterday at Bloomberg, now under the headline “Apple to Allow Outside App Stores in Overhaul Spurred by EU Laws”. I say now because the original headline was a little less assertive: “Will Apple Allow Users to Install Third-Party … | Continue reading

In my spitball theory here, App Track Transparency is not the cause of Facebook’s troubles, but just an extra kick in the pants as they stumble downhill toward legacy media irrelevance. | Continue reading

If you could properly replace an iPhone battery with a couple of simple tools, Apple would surely just send you the simple tools. But if that were the case there’d be no need for this program. | Continue reading

I’ve been waiting years for Apple to release a good desktop display for under $2000, and in every single regard *other* than the camera, the Studio Display meets or exceeds my expectations. | Continue reading

As a product, the original iPhone exemplified Apple’s holistic approach to hardware and software that are designed for each other, yet, at the engineering level, the iPhone hardware and software teams were almost completely siloed, with only Jobs and a mere handful of his most tr … | Continue reading
