Raise-to-wake works about as well as I could hope, but as someone who regularly wears mechanical watches, trust me, it’s no substitution for always being able to glance at your wrist for the time

Thank god Apple seeded Mike Allen with an iPhone X review unit. Such great insight from his fucking nephew, the emoji expert.
Thank god Apple seeded Fashion with a review unit.
Thank god Apple seeded these insightful critics with a review unit.

It *was* really weird how Apple handled the press on this launch. I wonder if it’s linked to the pasting the Watch 3 got from “proper” reviewers

Season 1 of True Detective is one of my very favorite cinematic achievements of the decade, right up there with Mad Men, The Tree of Life, and Django Unchained. I’ll add Inception to make it a top 5 list.

One of the biggest problems with Gruber in 2018 is everything Apple does has been comfortably boring since oh the iPhone 5S came out, yet he’s still out here breathlessly waiting on each new review unit like it’s a beacon, a yardstick by which his next six months will be measured or something.

My fondness and appreciation for 2001 is hard to convey. Most of it holds up remarkably well 50 years later. There are parts that still seem impossible, 50 years later. But what ultimately strikes me about 2001 is that it was an attempt by arguably the greatest filmmaker who ever lived to make the greatest movie ever made. Ultimately the work itself is what matters in judging any artistic achievement, but the sheer ambition behind 2001 staggers me whenever I contemplate it. From the scientific rigor to the stunning advances in special effects to the gorgeous 70mm cinematography to the mesmerizing editing and soundtrack, 2001 simply swells my heart.
I didn't used to think that the boring writing advice of "delete your adverbs" was worthwhile but now I do
they're not even the biggest problem with this paragraph though.

I remember when I got a hard time for suggesting it would be a good thing for an iPhone model to start at $1,500. A starting price of $1,980 is eye catching, for sure, but as I’ve been arguing for years, we accept the fact that pro laptops costs $2,000 or more, so why not $2,000 phones, when for so many people, the phone is by far their most-used and most important computing device? (Not to mention their primary camera.)
I can think of a couple reasons.

phones shd be $3000

Which do you look at more often, your phone or your college diploma? Therefore an iphone should cost more than a private college education and if you are not already saving for your child's smartphone you are making a mistake

* Bloomberg, of course, is the publication that published “The Big Hack” in October — a sensational story alleging that data centers of Apple, Amazon, and dozens of other companies were compromised by China’s intelligence services. The story presented no confirmable evidence at all, was vehemently denied by all companies involved, has not been confirmed by a single other publication (despite much effort to do so), and has been largely discredited by one of Bloomberg’s own sources. By all appearances “The Big Hack” was complete bullshit. Yet Bloomberg has issued no correction or retraction, and seemingly hopes we’ll all just forget about it. I say we do not just forget about it. Bloomberg’s institutional credibility is severely damaged, and everything they publish should be treated with skepticism until they retract the story or provide evidence that it was true.

It’s pretty telling that the most anti-journalism people are people who think they’re journalists but have no idea how it works or how it’s made. Also we had 14 sources, and after the piece broke, nearly twice as many more. pic.twitter.com/V8W4mBlr8b— Kevin Nguyen (@knguyen) December 10, 2019
