I like this commentary post from John Gruber about an article published by Bloomberg(*). Go to the bottom of his post to see his comment about Bloomberg in general. I love it.

I made some clean up of a few drawers last week-end. Here is one thing that I found and made me smile: the iLife 11 DVD. Remember when we bought computer software on DVD? Remember Apple in 2011?

Just finished reading this article published by 9to5Mac on the sad state of iBooks Author and iTunes U. Here is another area where Apple dropped the ball, education tools. iBooks Author had so much potential when it launched in 2012. I invested quite some time in it to build documentation that is enjoyable to use... Continue Reading →
Another story today from AppleInsider, "Amazon's eero buy is the clearest sign yet that Apple should revive the AirPort" that goes in the same direction as mine, Apple should return to the design table and create this AirPort successor.
