Arc is a new browser that started life on macOS in 2022. David and I have been using it for months, taking notes and gathering thoughts. This week on MPU, we discuss its features, and how AI could change the way people browse the web.

John Buck published a book covering the “Apple Technology Group,” a division within Apple that operated back in the 1980s and 1990s and experimented with many forward-looking bits of technology that we take for granted today.

Connected #500: The Rickies (May 2024)⇢
Somehow, we have arrived at episode 500 of Connected,1 and I’m so glad Apple waited to release new iPads until next week, so we could play our traditional game before the event next week:
Apple’s first iPad event in over a year is next week, so the guys have dusted off their headphones and have made some picks ahead of May 7.
The Flexies got a little out of control this time. Between the three of us, we made 27 picks in that category alone.
