the iwata thing was like "hey everyone, if i could just have a second. today the CEO of nintendo died. he oversaw the Wii and 3DS. i just wanted to say thanks Iwata. so thanks Iwata."

there was like 20 people there maybe. coincidentally there was some get together of people from the international megacorp gaming company i worked for there, including my um main middle manager dude and i said hi after that.

in my subjective opinion it wasn't as catastrophic as you would naturally imagine a goon doing it, and believe me i would tell you if it was. i once wet my pants at a sleep over, i'm an open book about these things.

i still know the apple store guy i gave the flowers and chocolate apple to. he hasn't teased me about it so i presume it didn't seem pathetic there either.

i feel like both jobs and iwata stood "at the junction between the arts, technology and business" as edward land would say. that's extremely my poo poo. not just inventing or innovating on something, but pushing the needle of popular culture with that technology. i guess it's like, sure, carl marx invented communism, but it was stalin who took it all the way and made it happen!

it takes some bravery. or at least a profound lack of self awareness. to make yourself vulnerable in public like that. i think kevin brought a little pleasure to everyones heart that day

actually they're the only thing that keeps most lonely apple users alive

I guess one could consider lifesavers sad... they are designed to be used in the worst of circumstances.... on the other hand one could consider them examples of the purity that life has to give

you just install IOS 9 and select "Don't upgrade" when it prompts you, then click upgrade when you got el capitan on your poo poo

iOS 9 is out today.

Here�s our review. Its 3,093 words that tell you what you need to know and why.

Here�s MacStories� review, it�s� 48,000 words long.

Yes, MacStories is excellent, but does it need nearly 50,000 words to talk about a software update?

The answer is �no.� There is no sane answer other than �no.�

The U.S. Constitution weighs in at 4,543 words.
Magna Carta got the job done with 500.
The 10 commandments tapped out at 297.

This piece (including this line, the number that follows and the headline)? 105.

to be fair what more needs to be said about ios 9 other than "it's real real bad and a terrible mistake"?

bloviating for 50k words won't change how bad ios 9 is

the change from Helvetica Neue to San Francisco as system font is worth a solid 3-5k words.

Unironically the most important feature in El Capitan is that they added an option in Safari to make ⌘-numkey change to that numbered tab

I can't tell you how many times I've gone to apple.com because Safari believes that's an appropriate thing to do when you hit ⌘-1
