There's an iCloud outage that affects email and produces the error message "iCloud encountered an error while trying to connect to the server." It will likely be reflected on https://www.apple.com/support/systemstatus/ soon.

knows how to make a good first impression.

An accurate write-up of Apple’s Vission Pro. I completely agree with the author, even about the iPad.

Apple’s Vision Pro Isn’t the Future — WIRED The new mixed-reality headset is an alarming misfire. Has Apple lost its innovation mojo?

This is where I see the “Apple Vision Pro” taking us.

Apple has officially lost its damn mind! I'm not wearing VisionPro to have a floating Mac screen. Not wearing it to events, so I can get 3D pictures either. I'm not watching movies wearing this either.

Apple’s WWDC event is tomorrow. I’m actually more nervous than excited. Apple really hasn’t done anything game changing since the Apple Watch eight years ago. 2001 gave us macOS X, six years later in 2007 they gave us the iPhone, three years later in 2010 we got the iPad, in 2011, we lost Steve, in 2015, we got the Apple Watch. It’s been eight years since the Apple Watch. They need to put another dent in the universe, and it has to do more than a freakin’ Facebook VR Headset! In the mean time Microsoft makes a better browser, is leveraging AI, has a stronghold on the enterprise market, and they’re starting to get the attention of consumers, including me, and I’m still an Apple fanboy! Come on Apple, do something Apple!

I have reached 100 followers! Thanks for continuing to follow me, even though I hardly ever post. One of Facebook’s suggestions to me was to tell you that I could not have done it without each of you. Well, yeah! I can’t follow myself a hundred times! That’s literally the digital version of chasing your tail! Anyway, thank you! I’ll try to post more for the hundred of you who must be expecting me to do something eventually. 🙏🤗🎉

Considering Elon Musks open disdain for Apple, I am shocked and super excited to see Apple Music just got added as a native app!

Displace TV Is A Wireless TV You Can Hang On Your Window — CNET No wires at all (or power cords) for this 55-inch TV set we saw at CES in Las Vegas.

The phenomenon in which otherwise broken hardware or software functions properly under the observation of an IT technician without any changes being made.

Happy New Year! Hoping to see some awesome new tech toys this year or at least discover new ways to use what we already have. Any predictions for 2023?

Pro tip: I just discovered this! Post 3-4 times in a week after months of doing absolutely nothing. What a jump! Yeah! You’re welcome!

Check out this really cute Apple Watch stand! I forget my Apple Watch is in there and that it’s not just a decoration.

Hope everyone had an awesome Christmas and got some cool new tech!

What cool stuff did Santa bring you and how are you using it?

New iPhone: Bigger, faster, clearer... wow. Didn't see that coming, Apple! Apple isn't Apple anymore. It's just a big tech company.

Apple just called a new version of an Apple Watch "something completely new." Sad.

I think a computer's desktop has a lot of potential for defining your way of working, personalizing your environment, and even turning your computer into something you'll enjoy using. I started this project by wanting to clean up my desktop but ended up with this. It's clean now!

I made it with Keynote, and by replacing icons with screen grabs from Google image search results.

A cluttered workstation is terrible for productivity. Tie up your wires and use wire management solutions that work for you by hiding all your wiring. Also, allow an extra half-hour every morning to pull all your wires out to figure out which wire got disconnected because something isn't turning on.

The thing about automation and smart homes is you have to allow an extra half-hour of time every morning to figure out why it didn’t work.

I recently had to reset my iPhone and embarrassingly enough couldn’t figure out why my SMS messages weren’t showing up on my other devices. I forgot this step:
