Jacob Kastrenakes has put together ten years’ worth of Apple invite events. It’s a nice trip down memory lane.

Space Travel in Lego⇢
Finally, something on Buzzfeed worth linking to.
Preliminary Results⇢
My family is headed back in to battle. We’d appreciate your thoughts, prayers and support.
Apple Opens MacBook Air SSD REP⇢
Apple Support:
Apple has determined that certain 64GB and 128GB flash storage drives used in the previous generation of MacBook Air systems may fail. These systems were sold between June 2012 through June 2013.
Apple or an Apple Authorized Service Provider (AASP) will replace affected flash storage drives, free of charge.
Making It In Memphis⇢
The maker community here is thriving, and it’s great to see some of my friends and coworkers in the press.
Lenovo Announces Android Laptop⇢
Two things:
- Is Windows 8 really so bad that Android is a good alternative for a notebook?
- LOL, Chrome OS.
On iMessages and Spying⇢
Apple spokeswoman Trudy Muller, in a statement to AllThingsD:
iMessage is not architected to allow Apple to read messages. The research discussed theoretical vulnerabilities that would require Apple to re-engineer the iMessage system to exploit it, and Apple has no plans or intentions to do so.
The research Muller references can be read about here.
Tumblr Dashboard Goes Flat⇢
iOS 7 is affecting all sorts of design decisions.
Trucks Crashing Into Bridges⇢
Five minutes worth of videos of trucks getting killed by a too-low bridge? Of course I watched the whole thing.
Old Mac of the Month: The Quadra 605
This month’s post is by my friend Thomas Brand. Thomas writes at Egg Freckles, and is running in the St. Jude Marathon on my son’s team. You can learn more and donate here.
The Quadra 605 was the Power Macintosh Cube of the Quadra line. A miniature 32-bit workstation, with limited expandability but powerful specs. Like the Cube it came in a low-profile case that was never used again on any Mac. Unlike the Cube, it was available for a low-price almost anyone could afford. At $900 USD, the 605 was the Quadra for the rest of us.
The Prompt 018 - The Federico Special⇢
With me away this week, Federico and Myke spend some time discussing the magic behind iOS automation and URL schemes. They finish the show with a short discussion about Nintendo (of course).

Two Years Worth of Evolution
