I’ve been crazy busy this week getting ready for WWDC and just realized I hadn’t published my government-mandated list of predictions and desires. The items below are in no real order, but it’d be great to see them all. Forgive me if it reads like I’m in the middle of a fever dream.
Update: I’ve graded my wish list now that the keynote is done.
This new specification could really speed up the slooooooooow data transfer rates between future iPhones and future Apple Watches.
Loren Grush, writing about National Reconnaissance Office’s mission patches for various rocket launches to put … secret things … into orbit:
Well it turns out that releasing creepy AF mission patches is a long-standing tradition for the NRO. It’s a far cry from the cheery NASA mission patches we’re used to. Instead, many of the NRO patches follow a specific formula: large scary animal grasps Earth.
Seriously, go look at these things. Yikes.
Jason Kottke just linked to this Wired video looking at LEGOLAND’s model shop. It features more than 3 million LEGO bricks in 70 colors.
The Iconfactory has released a new app called BitCam:
Announcing BitCam – the world’s most advanced camera for your mini pocket computer. Years in the making, this is just a hint at what’s to come as we celebrate the Iconfactory’s 20th anniversary this month.
It’s free on the iOS App Store and it is a whole lot of fun.

LEGO periodically approves community-designed projects for official creation. This time around, a Beatles tribute and a 1-meter tall Saturn V rocket have been approved. I’ll be very interested in the second.
Ahead of Apple’s WWDC 2016 keynote next Monday, June 13 at 10:00 a.m. Pacific Time, Siri is now offering up some traditionally witty responses to users that ask about potential announcements. iPhone users can test Siri themselves by asking “what to expect at WWDC?” or similar questions.
All of Siri’s responses are unsurprisingly vague, including one related to the popular HBO drama series Game of Thrones.
On July 19, 2000, Steve Jobs took the stage at Macworld New York. In this keynote, he unveiled updated PowerMac G4s, the G4 Cube and updated iMacs.
Jobs walked through the history of the iMac. Every nine months or so, Apple had revised the iMac, and the time had come to do it once again.
This marked the iMac’s second birthday. In the two years since the first machine shipped, Apple had sold 3.7 million iMacs. Jobs boasted that an iMac sold at a rate of 211 an hour, or one every 18 seconds.
Well, this is downright amazing:
This week on Connected, our WWDC predictions took a back seat to the news coming out of Apple about App Store changes. For such short notice on the topic, I’m really happy with how this episode came out.
My thanks to our sponsors this week:
As a quick note, next week’s Connected will be live on stage in San Francisco. It, along with some extra goodies, will be published as Episode 95. Don’t miss it!
The first podcast Myke and I ever did together was called Ungeniused. On it, we broke down random Wikipedia articles each week.
That was way back in 2011. The show didn’t make the transition when we joined 5by5; we were both too busy for it. Today, I’m really excited to announce that it is back for another season on Relay FM.
Episode 1 is about Action Park, an amusement park with a shocking history, including six fatalities in the 1980s. At the end of the show, we were joined by John Siracusa who grew up visiting Action Park and somehow survived it.
