Every other day, I see a new essay by someone disillusioned by Apple.
The themes are consistent. The sycophantic support of the Trump administration. UI design now violates principles they invented. Anti-competitive and predatory actions in the pursuit of revenue.

Tim Cook sold Apple's soul
Apple used to stand for something. Now Tim Cook gifts golden statues to Trump, removes apps at the administration's request, and cozies up to accused rapists at White House screenings. The company I o...

GPS was a breakthrough that actually improved people’s lives. Compare how that was announced and deployed compared to all the overhyped tech of the last decade.
The research of Dr. Gladys West, who died Jan. 17 at 95, laid the groundwork for the GPS.
Thanks in part to her, anyone with a smartphone can navigate easily from one place to the next, without having to stop to ask for directions.

Mathematician Gladys West dies at 95. She was a hidden figure behind GPS.
Without the mathematical model that she helped refine, “the extraordinary positioning, navigation, and timing accuracy of GPS would be impossible to achieve.”

So glad I missed the intro song for the Winter Classic yesterday.
I happen to hate that song, but why the hell is there a song about sex at a hockey game? At the moment when the teams skate out no less.

Remember that we are where we are because Mitch McConnell chose to play politics instead of doing what he knew was the right thing to do.
The rest of our current congress have devolved into social media influencers, but Mitch should have known better.
