For people my age, AIM was the way to stay in touch with friends back in high school and college. It’s not around today for a bunch of reasons, but its feature set defined what we expect from services like iMessage and WhatsApp today.

On this week’s episode of AppStories, Federico spoke with Apple’s Senior Vice President of Software Engineering Craig Federighi about iPadOS and its new cursor support. I’m only a few minutes into the episode, but it’s already super interesting.
On a personal note, I couldn’t be prouder of Ticci today. He has worked extremely hard to build MacStories into what it is today, and interviews like these really show it.
This week, Stephen identifies some adaptors, while Federico is in search of answers and Myke butts in about something else. Then, a discussion of WWDC 2020, and what they guys would like to see in terms of home screen widgets on the iPhone and iPad.
Over the next several weeks, we’ll be breaking down some things we’d like to see at WWDC. I’m looking forward to the event, even if we’ll all be at home for it.

Emojipedia founder Jeremy Burge joins David and Stephen to talk about emoji, how they’re made and why they’ve found such huge success. Then, he explains how tech needs change when one lives on a boat.
Jeremy is one of my favorite people on the Internet, and it was a lot of fun to hear how he runs his business.
