Wow. Olympus is selling off its camera division.

I first got serious about photography with a Trip 35, and my first SLRs were all OMs. End of an era, although the business will continue under new owners.

Today’s Social & Digital lunchbreak digs deep on narcissism, toxic communities — and Nazi My Little Pony fans.

The Fate of the Mac?

Jason Snell: Thoughts on WWDC 2020 Day One:

The truth is probably that the future of the Mac is as a “pro” version of iOS and iPadOS. It’ll run more or less every app that’s available on the iPhone and iPad, but it’ll also run traditional Mac software. Over time, the distinction between iPad apps and Mac apps will begin to fade away entirely, and the Mac will just become a keyboard-and-trackpad mode of the iPad.

Phew. My MacBook Pro just scrapes into the Big Sur compatibility list.

This time next year I suspect I’ll be choosing between an Apple silicon replacement - or going all in on iPad Pro for mobile computing.

Well, having Adobe and Microsoft both on board already will make the ARM transition for Macs much, much smoother. And 3 times 4K streams in Final Cut Pro is exciting stuff.

MacOS Big Sur: love the new design, but feel like they’re just trolling us with the name now.

Automatic hand-washing detection and timing on Apple Watch! That’s as Covid-y as it gets.

Controversial opinion: I prefer this keynote format.

Dance workouts on Apple Watch. Oh, yes. 💃 ⌚️ (Watch-based cycling navigation seem vital in a Covid-world, too.)

I can barely read my own handwriting. Good luck to iPad OS in figuring it out.

So… if your phone runs out of battery, your car won’t start or open?

They have a real aversion to static shots in this pre-recorded WWDC keynote, don’t they?

The new iOS 14 widgets just announced at WWDC are going to be amazing on iPad.

Wow. Empty Steve Jobs Theatre. Striking way to acknowledge the unusual times.
