This quote from Vogue's writeup of the iPhone Pocket reminded me, intentionally or not, of two things: Jobs’ quote from his Stanford commencement, “You can’t connect the dots looking forward. You can only connect them looking backwards,” and WWDC 2013’s “a thousand no’s for every yes” video.

Jokes and references to iPod Socks aside, this is a luxury brand founded by the Japanese designer behind Steve Jobs’ iconic black mock turtleneck and the apparel concept of “A Piece of Cloth” that starts with a single thread that’s then woven into a finished garment, displayed at The Met and MoMA.

Some devs may be unable or unwilling to comply. They can control app availability in 175 countries and regions, choosing whether to sell them in, say, Russia, Israel, or the EU—but can’t select individual U.S. states.
It would be utterly satisfying—if wholly implausible—if Apple changed that.

A brief acknowledgment as I celebrate my eighth anniversary of becoming an American citizen. I’ve touched on the subject several times: the uniqueness of being naturalized, the delicacy of my citizenship. Despite threats, we evince a fierce loyalty to what America claims to be, not just what it is.

Quips @pbones.com: “Get your team a Will Smith, stat.”
‘Will Smith’ has won six straight World Series, and the Wills Smith faced off in the 2020 NLCS, with the catcher smashing a three-run homer, but what I really need to see is a Will Smith-Will Smith battery.

Mamdani took over 50% of the 2 million votes. Maybe I’ll move back: nearly a million people are ready to flee the city now; the deals on apartments and condos will be wild. I’ll happily make anyone a completely reasonable, fleeing-the-city offer for their Upper West Side penthouse or brownstone.

There is a direct line between Dick Cheney’s unwavering belief in the plenary power of the president, and Donald Trump’s seemingly unchecked attempts to wield that power today.

The web version solves one glaring limitation of the native App Store: it shows the current prices of apps you’ve already purchased—finally!—but the site prevents you from copying text.

I initially balked at the Canva acquisition because these kinds of deals often go south, either via price increases or crappier apps. Instead, we get what looks like a massively improved app that’s completely free.
