GateKeeper Changes in 10.9.5

Michael Tsai - Blog - Major Changes to Gatekeeper in Mac OS X 10.9.5

I'd share the results of the script but I'm not sure it did much to work, as Safari 7.1 shows version 1, along with every other application.

Our application, Analyzr, should be ready.

Apple University

Inside Apple’s Internal Training Program

In a class at the company’s internal training program, the so-called Apple University, the instructor likened the 11 lithographs that make up Picasso’s “The Bull” to the way Apple builds its smartphones and other devices. The idea: Apple designers strive for simplicity just as Picasso eliminated details to create a great work of art.

Steven P. Jobs established Apple University as a way to inculcate employees into Apple’s business culture and educate them about its history, particularly as the company grew and the tech business changed. Courses are not required, only recommended, but getting new employees to enroll is rarely a problem.

How to Be Polite

How to Be Polite

People silently struggle from all kinds of terrible things. They suffer from depression, ambition, substance abuse, and pretension. They suffer from family tragedy, Ivy-League educations, and self-loathing. They suffer from failing marriages, physical pain, and publishing. The good thing about politeness is that you can treat these people exactly the same. And then wait to see what happens. You don’t have to have an opinion. You don’t need to make a judgment. I know that doesn’t sound like liberation, because we live and work in an opinion-based economy. But it is. Not having an opinion means not having an obligation. And not being obligated is one of the sweetest of life’s riches.

Yeah. That's gonna be tough for me… 😛

Josh, Aperture User, Tries Lightroom

Josh: An Aperture User Tries Lightroom.

All in all, I think Lightroom is totally fine, but I find Aperture faster and smoother. Photos v1 will replace iPhoto more than Aperture, but maybe v2 will replace Aperture. I doubt the Nik suite (which works fine with Aperture and Lightroom) will work with Photos unless Google updates it, and that’s a pretty big part of my workflow. I’m also really curious about the library in the cloud component, and if there will be an option to not use that for those of us with terabytes of images. Sigh. Why couldn’t Aperture just continue to be developed until Photos really is ready to replace it?

I don't know. But it's a good blog for Swift developers.

RFID in the NFL

NFL players will wear RFID chips this season to track their movements

I think the NHL is doing something like this as well, perhaps in a few years. I don't know if it's by RFID though.
