John Ternus once spent half the night counting the grooves on the stainless-steel screws that go in the *back* of the Cinema Display.
He discovered the screws had 35 grooves, but they were supposed to have 25.
Instead of letting it go, definitely what most people would have done, he pushed through the friction and made the supplier redo the screws.
Now we get return of the glowing Apple logo, but it isn't just a cool throwback, it's another sign...
John Ternus obsesses over the little details that make Apple products special, he gets it. He cares about those little things we care about, those tiny touches we get excited about.
And just look at the AAA action star chin.
We're looking good, Govs. I'm excited to see what comes next.
Star Trek Next Generation really is one of the best tv shows of all time. The acting, the writing, the cast, all of it - every episode full of imagination while also capturing the truth and promise of the human spirit in ways no series has matched.
Rewatching this final scene of Star Trek: The Next Generation today hurts.
The world in which this show existed feels long gone.
Every week we watched on “network TV” a strong and virtuous male leader be celebrated.
We grappled with real philosophical questions without cynicism. We laughed without being “irony poisoned.”
We celebrated men and women working together in complementary collaboration—not in zero-sum competition.
That world feels gone, but it doesn’t have to be.
Most of us still hold these values.
We can tell stories like this again.

I can’t imagine how hard it’ll be to continually clean fingerprints off the new MBP touchscreen display with nano texture.
I have the nano texture on my M4 MBP and I love it but it’s 12X harder to clean than a glossy display and it feels extremely delicate, like one wrong swipe could damage it.

Random thoughts, Star Trek Edition
Part 1
I somehow only heard today that Walter Koenig aka Ensign Pavel Chekov went to the great beyond a few days ago. He was 90 (!).
I grew up loving the original Star Trek movies and his performances in that beautiful ensemble cast made the those movies truly special.
Watching those movies is like going back to my room at my parents house.

What I also didn't know is he was married to the same woman, Judy Levitt, for 57 years. Judy died in 2024. I hope they're back together.

Of the original cast, only Captain Kirk and Sulu are still with us.
Somehow William Shatner is as vibrant now at 95 as we he 40 years ago. He still tours, rides horses, does conventions, and he tweets so much I sometimes mute him for a few days so he doesn't fill my timeline.
Deforest Kelly (Bones) passed at 79. Leonard Nimoy (Spock) at 83. Age is a strange thing.
James Doohan (Scotty) had health issues but make it to 85.
Nichelle Nicoles (Uhura) left us at 89.
William Shater is 95 and touring with his new band.
Age is a strange thing.

Today I turn 88…I’ve seen some serious shit. The most serious of it all is love. I love my family, my friends, and my wonderful fans. The power of love remains.
THEY ACTUALLY DID IT - With the new Apple TV and current HomePods, you can configure 4 HomePods into real surround sound for your TV!
I proposed this feature years ago in my HomePods review videos!
