(Note: It’s been well over a decade since I worked at Apple, and although I’ve kept in touch with a few folks who still work there, everything mentioned in this post is purely speculati…| Digital Composting
Obviously the Vision Pro isn’t the first VR/AR/whatever device, but it’s the first one that’s got enough resolution to prevent me from getting pissed off as soon as I stick it to my face. And while there have already been reams of articles published about other aspects of using the Vision Pro, I haven’t seen […]| Digital Composting
Now that we’re finally starting to see some mainstream cameras that can run apps (see previous discussion here) I suppose it’s time to talk a little bit about one of the potential downsides of such a scenario. Because as soon as you allow people to download and run third-party software, you’ve got to start thinking […]| Digital Composting

(Here’s the original post) In particular, I’m interested in the variety of non-invasive technologies that are becoming available […]| Digital Composting
I’ll admit it… I have, on occasion, actually watched a movie or two on my iPhone. Forgive me David Lynch (Hell, I’ll even condemn myself to a deeper circle of hell by admitting that I actually watched one of the most glorious wide-screen movies ever – Lawrence of Arabia* – on an iPhone while flying […]| Digital Composting
Just saw this article on AppleInsider where a photo of one of the original apple tablets prototypes is shown. Quick story about my very brief interaction with this thing. Although the article says that it may have been developed sometime between 2002 and 2004, I’m almost positive that the date I saw it would have […]| Digital Composting
Okay, this will be of interest to a VERY SMALL number of people. But over on LinkedIn, someone with a perverse interest in ancient history (hi Tim) asked if I still had copies of some UI design doc…| Digital Composting
