It’s the new UI that’s the most interesting feature to me. And it’s for all the platforms. Even the drop-down menu in the Chrome extension was revamped. And it’s clear why. It might not sound like much, but Pushbullet just went from a service that lets you send stuff between your devices and occasionally your friends to being a messaging service. The Android app is now divided into three sections: Friends, Me, and Following....

Apple last month started warning users of 32-bit apps that future versions of macOS would not run ‘without compromise.’ It was a vague warning, but suggests that Apple does have a plan to allow 32-bit apps to continue to run even after macOS has nominally switched to a 64-bit-only environment … One possibility is that it will, for a time, offer a virtual machine running an older version of macOS silently in the background....

Doing some calculations, Kif noted that over the almost 40-year run so far as a public stock, AAPL has seen an incredible 125,285% increase. Apple went public on December 12, 1980 at $22.00 per share. The stock has split four times since the IPO so on a split-adjusted basis the IPO share price was $.39. AAPL shares have been on a tear since Apple reported its record-breaking June quarter at the end of July....

Years before playing famous characters such as Fred Rogers and Walt Disney, Tom Hanks won an Academy Award for his portrayal of Forrest Gump. With that, phrases such as “stupid is as stupid does” and “life is like a box of chocolates” were born. Hanks hasn’t lost his acting prowess, as he turned in another performance worthy of an award as Mr. Rogers in A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood this year....

It seems there’s not much AI can’t do these days. Whether it’s drive a car, improve music discovery, retouch photos or narrate the world to blind people. And now machine learning can even look through your Instagram feed to decide whether you are clinically depressed … A research study published today examined the Instagram feeds of 166 individuals, looking for so-called markers of clinical depression. The study’s authors claim that the evaluation performed by the AI system was even more successful than general practitioners in diagnosing the condition....

I wrote about the release of Parallels Desktop 14 a few weeks ago. I’ve been spending some time with it since then, so I wanted to take the time to write about it in more detail. One thing to note (and I think it makes gives my review an interesting perspective) is that I’ve used VMware Fusion (and supported it at my day job) since 2009. I had certainly heard of Parallels Desktop before, but I jumped on the Fusion train and kept on upgrading over the years....

SeekingAlpha reports the rumour of such rumours. True or false, we’d like to observe these stock-damaging remarks may actually reflect the release of iPhone Software 2.0, which isn’t due to ship until the end of June. That this software won’t ship until then could suggest that the 3G iPhone will also not ship in quantity until toward the end of June, though it may be announced in advance of that at Apple’s WWDC event next month....

ABC made the right decision to cancel Roseanne after its star Roseanne Barr’s most recent bout of bigoted Twitter comments. ABC’s reboot of Roseanne has been a commercial and critical hit. Its season premiere was watched by 18.44m viewers and became the network’s highest-rated comedy show on any night in over three years (although ratings did fall over the remaining weeks). Outside of The Big Bang Theory, it became the biggest comedy on ABC....
