I closed my Apple Watch review this way:
As I said over 2,800 words ago, I’m conflicted when it comes to thinking about Apple Watch.
I’d recommend it to anyone who is strongly tied to their iPhone and is looking for something to track their fitness.
That combination is what sets Apple Watch apart from things like the much-cheaper Fitbits of the world. Having one wearable to deal with notifications, fitness and more is great, but by no means necessary.
I’m pretty happy in OmniFocus, but this app looks insanely powerful.
Perfect.
Gathered in mourning over Mailbox and Carousel, Federico, Myke and I wallow our way through some follow-up and Apple’s latest accessories.
My thanks to these sponsors:
In iDVD ‘08, your slideshows are no longer limited to 99 images. You can now have up to 9,801 images in a slideshow. When you are playing a slideshow on your DVD player, it will number the slides (which are chapters) from 1 to 99 and then start numbering over again at number 1 (on the one-hundredth slide). This is normal and not something you can control when you author your DVD. It is a specification that applies to all DVD players.
Earlier today, Dropbox announced that Mailbox and Carousel are being discontinued:
The Carousel and Mailbox teams have built products that are loved by many people and their work will continue to have an impact. We’ll be taking key features from Carousel back to the place where your photos live—in the Dropbox app. We’ll also be using what we’ve learned from Mailbox to build new ways to communicate and collaborate on Dropbox (you can see early signs of this focus with Paper).
For a lot of people, NASA’s space shuttle defines human spaceflight. On this episode of Liftoff, Jason and I talk about the shuttle itself, the program’s highs and lows and more.
My thanks to this week’s sponsor:
If you’re reading this, you probably already know your way around a Mac pretty well. You get your work done and everything’s fine.
But you probably want to use your Mac faster and more efficiently. You know it’s possible to really make your machine sing, but who has time to go hunting for tips and tricks by exploring an endless slurry of old blog posts and Youtube videos?
There’s a better way: Master Your Mac.
Today’s a big day at Relay FM.
Since leaving my job this fall, one of the big projects I’ve been working on is our new membership plan.
Relay FM is home to a wide selection of shows, and now you can choose to support the hosts you love directly monthly or annually. We’ve always felt Relay was part of a bigger community, and I think this is a nice extension of that idea.
This video may be everything wrong with Apple in 1996. I’d write more about this, but I fell asleep.
This week on Material, Relay FM’s Google-focused podcast:
We’re joined by Matías Duarte, Vice President of Design at Google. We talk about everything from Material Design to how to camouflage LEGO against couches.
Boom.
Now I know I can’t install iLife ‘05 on my original iBook:
iLife ‘05 requires a computer with a display resolution of at least 1024 x 768 pixels. This means that iLife ‘05 cannot be installed on the original iBooks. The original iBooks are Blueberry, Tangerine, or Graphite in color. The iBook (FireWire) computers, which are Indigo, Key Lime, and Graphite in color, are also affected.
