Graphing Calculator Story is well worth five minutes of your time if you enjoy reading about the history of Apple before it became, uh, what it is now.

Every time I forget how much I love good photography, or powerful photography, The Big Picture pulls me back in. That link is "Autumn Around the World 2013" and the first picture may be one of my favorites. It's tough to choose, though, as they're all always good.

Just a few posts on the new iWork suite of apps that came out with Mavericks: Pages 5: An unmitigated disaster Why does Apple get rid of so many useful features in new Pages (Apple Support Communities) Pages 5 features checklist (Apple Support Communities) Whither iWork?

I'm still working on the problems explained in this post: Safari 7.0 in Mavericks Cannot Load iBooks Store, Twitter.com, PayPal.com. I created a new admin account called "Test" that works fine. When I say "fine" I mean I can do these things, which I cannot do on my account: Load both PayPal.com and Twitter.com in […]

So I've got this unusual problem. Safari on my Mac Pro will not load twitter.com (or twitter.com/iacas, or any other twitter.com URL). It's not the computer (and a messed up Hosts file or something), because other browsers work. It's not the installation of Safari or the OS, because a guest user account can access twitter.com. […]

We argued with Steve a bunch [about putting iTunes on Windows], and he said no. Finally, Phil Schiller and I said 'we're going to do it.' And Steve said, 'Fuck you guys, do whatever you want. You're responsible.' And he stormed out of the room." - Jon Rubinstein Steve wasn't always right.

So apparently you can now (or soon) send an email to send cash? I like Square, and use it for golf students (among other things), but how is this going to be secure? Can't someone simply spoof an email from you to send themselves money?

CloudPaint!

I'll agree with him on his Touch ID opinion - mine has a success rate of about 66% or so, with the 33% including a high number of two or more failed attempts.
