Really enjoyed first three eps of Star City. I'm good with the decision not to speak as Russians with clipped English accents. The story telling is strong enough to make straight-up English accents dissolve away.

Tom Ryan recalls: “I quit HP for Apple and stepped away from a workstation, a large monitor, and I’m asked to code on this Mac with a 8-inch screen and no memory. The upside was that the OS team was small and tight. The opportunity to change the world was there.” books.by/john-buck

Survivor of Jeffrey Epstein breaks down in tears describing the moment she learned her name was revealed while the rich and powerful remained protected by redactions Roza: I kept my identity protected as Jane Doe. I woke up one day with my name mentioned over 500 times.

Courtney Wild was 14 when Epstein started abusing her. While she waited for justice, the feds were negotiating a deal with Epstein's lawyers behind closed doors. She found out years later through a legal fight. The emails showed the government wasn't protecting victims. It was protecting Epstein.

Many people are asking, so here’s my “why.” Thank you, Kansas Democrats, for an inspiring Friday evening together.

Honoured to be in IEEE Spectrum tinyurl.com/yj855wp3 via @chrischinchilla.bsky.social Former Apple engineer Jean-Charles Mourey recalls: "Walking around ATG was like walking around James Bond's gadget lab. So many smart, innovative people like Will Oxford, Ph.D with mind-blowing ideas."

Apple engineer John Worthington: There were people inside the company who said, “No one’s ever going to listen to music or watch videos on a computer. Ever.” A dozen people at #Apple changed that. This is their story. tinyurl.com/34pb73kw

Proud to have an extract from my book in @theverge.com as part of the Apple@50 annniversary. www.theverge.com/tech/902721/...

Two nations under different skies, with the same values and ambitions. The Land Down Under and the Truth North Strong and Free. 🇦🇺🇨🇦

In 1989 NYT's John Markoff quoted analyst Charles Wolf - "Moses went to the mountain for the Ten Commandments, Steve Jobs went to the mountain and came back with the Macintosh. But can John Sculley go to the mountain and come back with something unique?" Did Tim Cook come back with Neo?

“I just read, start to finish. Could not stop once I started. Many of the stories I was familiar with from my day to day workings at Apple, but did not know how and why they ended up at Apple. All in all a very interesting read. Well done”. Don North ex-Advanced Technology Group books.by/john-buck

Hey Canada. It’s but one game. As you know, we’re with you for the long haul. Always got your back. Regards, all Australians. @mark-carney.bsky.social

@cdeccleshare.bsky.social Is the Whoop vs Slams controversy more about Whoop not paying enough to Tennis Australia et al Are the "ongoing discussions" just about what number to write on the checks?

@mattfutterman.bsky.social I really enjoyed the AO Men's Final piece. "Which one was it?" It was the "Which one was it?"

Rev Al Sharpton on Trump being a hollow puppet to donors. "He's not an ideologue, he's an entertainer. If he loses popularity, Trump will switch in a minute and change the concert from folk to rock. Don't give him any credit, he's Elvis not Colonel Tom Parker." @nicollewallace.bsky.social @ms.now

Sure the guests are great but I stay for the @nicollewallace.bsky.social one-liners like this ->aimed at the Republicans - "I don’t think they’re bending a knee (to Trump) they live on their knees." @kristygreenberg.bsky.social @repdangoldman.bsky.social

Our Prime Minister has offered "thoughts and prayers” in the first 12 hours. Now he has brought all state governments together- 24 hours after the atrocity. They will tighten gun ownership and act on antisemitism. And drop that - “it’s the wrong time to talk about this." @maddow.bsky.social

If you’re into Rachel Maddow Presents: Burn Order, you need to listen to Billy Bragg’s Everywhere. #burnorder @maddow.bsky.social

Larry Tesler says, “You don’t have a degree, and we don’t know where to put you” So Larry was a no, but Harry Vertelney says, 'No, no, no, he's great. He's going to do exactly what we need him to do. inventingthefuture.ghost.io/l/

So insightful, considered and fun. All done in the moment. Great live television. Thanks @nicollewallace.bsky.social @mollyjongfast.bsky.social 'The Rev' and @jheil.bsky.social and the Deadline WH team.

Just coming here to check on how many Republican lawmakers have rebuked Trump for his comments condoning the murder of journalists and dismissing a female reporter as "piggy" and...anyone?

Former Head of Software Engineering at Apple, Mike Potel: "For so many of the people named in this book, Steve Jobs's leaving was a breath of fresh air. The skunkworks projects and next-generation technology efforts that were hidden away and kept secret from Steve, were now out in the open."

Such was the siloed nature of various skunkworks that management greenlit PenLite. Tom Gilley recalls: Apple moved 20 people into a new portable group, under Sue King. She aligned us with a software team, called PenMac, to create the ‘Mac Look and Feel’. inventingthefuture.ghost.io/penlite/

WATCH: "They are underwater across the board, and they know it. And that is causing them to double down in public. But it is backfiring. That is why—whether it's a shutdown, whether it's all of this—they want us to blink first. And we have too much to save," says AOC.

Apple engineer Steve Milne recalls. Which chord to use for the Mac II boot chime. A major chord (tonic, major 3rd, fifth) has a positive, perhaps corny sound. A minor chord (tonic, minor 3rd, fifth) sounds sad. We settled on a power chord (tonic, fifth) - the most neutral. books.by/john-buck

Bob McNinch recalls. Jobs said, 'If there's anything I can do for you, come to my office'. I did 'To make more sales in Europe we need a localized Lisa keyboard with characters like Å and Ö. "Don't worry. We're going to fix it in software". And walked away. books.by/john-buck #apple #jobs #design

Tom Erickson notes: This was before Apple turned into a vampire ecosystem where everything tries to suck money out of people. We were on a mission. Whatever you could do to make something attractive, engaging, and understandable for people. And nothing else. books.by/john-buck #apple #HIG #design

Jim Reekes recalls: I had a music background, and was put in Apple tech support to fix sound problems. Developers contacted us with very technical programming questions. If we couldn't answer, we'd go to the actual engineers working on the OS to find the answers. books.by/john-buck #apple

Watching the first episode of #AlienEarth inspired me to make a free Final Cut Pro title template that emulates the MU-TH-UR chat user interface, and also on-screen titles. alex4d.com/final_cut_pl... It’s about time I got back into making free tools for Final Cut users!

"Apple is in danger of looking like a laggard, not a leader. It must prove that it can introduce new technology, get it to market in a reasonable timeframe, and at a reasonable price. It has to continue to attract good work from third-party developers. We'll be waiting." InfoWorld, Oct 1990

Jeremy Jones recalls: "What Steve Hain and I had written in a basement, was now good enough for former Xerox PARC scientists, Larry Tesler and Alan Kay, as well as Newton's Steve Capps and Steve Sakoman to tell John Sculley to buy Coral Software and create Dylan." books.by/john-buck #apple #dylan

Vicki Brown recalls Project Oreo: Our building was off campus and there wasn't any of the Tech-Bro culture. This was Apple, and this was Unix. And between the two of those, if you knew what you were doing, you were a member of the team, and that's all that mattered. books.by/john-buck #apple #unix

Rod Perkins recalls ATG in '87 "We laid out what users would want from ‘Spider’, adding live audio capability gave rise to voice calls between Macs, like what we have now with Teams and FaceTime, and we saw the need to leave a Voice Message if the respondent was busy or away." books.by/john-buck

Chris Crawford, pioneer game designer: "With the benefit of hindsight it's easy to see the Apple II's success but that wasn't clear in 79. Computer junkies bought the less expensive TRS-80 and PET. The II's color display advantage was shattered by the Atari 800's debut" books.by/john-buck

SuperMac’s Steve Edelman recalls Apple in 87: That Steve (Jobs) was in exile and not able to resist or even kill an expandable platform was crucial. It allowed the development of products allowing functionality over costs, coming from individuals, inside the company and outside. books.by/john-buck
