I remember using Google Wallet where I had to turn my phone on, unlock it, find and run the app, and enter the credit card PIN. I have used Samsung Pay and Android Pay and I think they had similar procedures. But with Apple Pay you just hold up your locked iPhone and use your finger for ID. It’s quicker than getting…

The ‘garage’ is true in that it represents our humble start, with no money, out of our homes. But no product was discussed or conceived of or designed or prototyped or tested or software written in the garage. That was all done in my Cupertino apartment and my office cubicle at HP’s calculator division in Cupertino.…
Trump wants more Federal government control over our personal lives? I thought conservatives were against that, like libertarians.
Not 12 Monkeys? Not Source Code?
Thanks. It makes sense that it’s easy to be an asshole but requires some thinking to be nice. Driving requires thinking too, even if it’s sub-conscious. There’s only so far our thinking ability can spread itself around. And then some of us are assholes before we get behind a wheel.
What if these homeowners have a security company that can monitor their security video feeds? Someone at the security company could have uploaded this for laughs.
I’d like to change the color of my car. Actually, I’d like the ability to make it look like a cop car.
The Signature Towers at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas is like that. The balcony has a glass floor and glass sides and no rails...nothing but glass. I don’t generally get scared of heights but this balcony, at night, did scare me.
Maybe, in light of this, the headline should have read OUR universe or THIS universe. Could there have been 5 quintillion serial universes, for example?
No, they don’t lose, but psychology is against them if they value corners. After the first player takes the diagonally opposite corner to the first X, the opponent must take a SIDE to avoid losing. You only win this way one time because it becomes obvious.
I remember the butter example from long ago. It is robust enough that it applies even if gravity is different, based on the likely height of creatures in places with different gravitational force.
Some time back they had (and may still have some) pay phones in the Arena where the Warriors played. I didn’t exactly make a call this time but I put a $1 bill in the phone book at a pay phone. I went to my seat and then called the payphone. Someone ran over and answered it. I told him how I’d left $101 in the phone…
Kickstarter roulette.
You get food poisoning from well cooked food too. I get it every so many years and it knocks me out for about 2 days. Once I couldn’t get up for 2 days to tell my hosts that I was in town. It’s not something you deny, but I don’t report it to doctors. It’s just a memory point for me. Another kind of food poisoning…
Don’t forget the minor peak in conception that day.
When you show your parents how to use voice for many things, I often see them start doing it all the time, sort of ahead of their kids who prefer to text. Learning new things on technology often needs just a friendly presentation and example and letting them try it once. The problem is that social distancing keeps us…
I thought that this story might have been in my book iWoz and that Seth had probably read it studying and portraying me, but he got taken by it.
At the corner of Homestead and Stelling (if my memory is accurate), in a strip-mall with Lesters grocery store and Grants department store was a pizza parlor, maybe Round Table. This was in 1972. As we ate pizza we saw a group of 3 black-skinned guys and Jobs got the idea that they might buy a blue box from us and…
Sometimes it’s more understandable to call “point and click” cameras “PhD” cameras - Push here Dummy.
