Anyone that's designed software has likely had to address the "empty state" problem. While an application can create useful stuff, getting users over the initial hurdle of creation is hard. With today's technology, however, AI models can cross the creation chasm so people don't have. If you're designing a spreadsheet…

In the latest, (Fiscal Q3, Calendar Q2 2025) conference call, Tim Cook made a welcome announcement: “We also recently marked a significant milestone. We shipped the 3 billionth iPhone since its launch in 2007.” This was welcome because the company has not been providing iPhone unit shipment numbers since Q4 2018.…

When I watched Tim Cook, in the White House, carefully assemble a glass-and-gold trophy fit for a king, it felt to me like a natural outcome of the events and actions exhaustively documented by Patrick McGee in “Apple in China”. It was a reflection of the arc of Cook’s career, and of Apple’s turnaround from […]

On 16 September 1997, Steve Jobs became interim CEO of Apple. 5,090 days later, he handed the reins to Tim Cook, weeks before he died. 5,090 days after 24 August 2011 is today. The Cook era is now as long as the Jobs renaissance era. Just as it is baffling to consider how much time […]⌥ Permalink

Tripp Mickle, of the New York Times, wrote another one of those articles exploring the feasibility of iPhone manufacturing in the United States.

Back in the 1980s, I wrote quite a few demos on the Commodore 64. One of my favourite hacks from that period was a bit of code which uploaded a routine to the 1541 disk drive -- which itself contained a fully functional 6502 CPU -- and used pulse-width modulation and bit-banging to flash the disk drive light in time…
