Thoughts

Me: Let’s go, brush. It keeps your teeth healthy”

Daughter: We don’t eat brush. Neither do teeth. Vegetable, fruits keep us healthy.”

Me: Well brushing kills germs. Germs cause cavity. Cavity is bad. So .. brushing is good?”

Daughter: That’s not fair!”

Logic rarely is? 🤔

‪It’s fascinating to read the comments declaring Android EU licensing as a bad move for consumers — saying prices will go up. It’s irrational to assume every other aspect of the market will stay the same. I believe it‘d be interesting few months, actual effect‘s yet to be known.‬

Looking at all the personalized invites for the October event, I am sure Apple would have a made on iPad Pro” story during announcement. I expect few pro” apps targeted for iPads, on the lines of Photoshop, demoed during the event — one of them used to build these invites.

Helm is a personal server that lives where you do. It’s finally incredibly easy to own your online identity, starting with email.” I am not sure if there is a market for such a product. A dedicated hardware that serves only email. Makes it limited, especially for its cost.

Wear Space is a wearable device designed to aid concentration by limiting your senses of sight and hearing.” WTF! Just look at those product images. Silly.

When did we go so wrong? And this is the future life”? Aren’t we already too cut off from the reality?

As we move closer to the end of October, I dread there would be no October event from Apple - so no updates to iPads, and more importantly Macs. Boy, would I be pissed off - I’ve been waiting to upgrade my Macbook Pro since pre-WWDC period and time’s running out for Apple.

Facebook is just being Facebook - after saying last week no data collected through Portal would be used to target users with ads, Facebook now says the data can be used to target ads”. Why think otherwise? To pull a Facebook” would soon be synonymous for crapping on users.

Last few weeks have been days of many firsts; it was only apt that I captured all these thoughts. It was time to update the \now page. I enjoy drafting these updates — it gives me chance to go through the posts since the last update and reflect.
