That’s so beige an original 128k Macintosh would fit right in.

I just learned of this video where Weird Al actually performed Headline News with The Crash Test Dummies, which in my mind reaffirms the coolness of both musicians. (I know The Crash Test Dummies are a one hit wonder of sorts with Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm, but I owned and really enjoyed all of God Shuffled His Feet.)

@atpfm Awkward…

@RecDiffs Regarding names that sound like sentences or phrases, have either of you heard of Tom Brady's predecessor, Drew Bledsoe? What's crazy (and crazy scary) is that Tom Brady started his career because Drew Bledsoe nearly died from a hit that sheered a blood vessel in his chest.

Is this Apple at 50 post belated because I'm a working parent with barely the time for anything else or because I, a savvy promoter, waited for when others’ coverage of the anniversary finally died down?

50 Years Without Apple – Worms and Viruses

@schwa For the record and as the person who (I think) first compared headsets to PDAs, I am one of those who truly think the Vision Pro is more reminiscent of the Macintosh than the Newton. The software on future and more ubiquitous AR devices is either going to be VisionOS, a derivation thereof, or look a heck of a lot like it.
The Vision Pro may just be a tech demo, but even its critics have to admit it's one fucking cool tech demo.
