  » I am rather keen on photography but I only consider myself an enthusiast. Output quality is important for me: whether for social networking, my own website, or images I send to the Bangkok Post.

  » In the days following the announcement of the latest MacBook Pro computers, reports followed the usual pattern. The MacBook Pro misses the boat; Apple is doomed; Tim Cook should be replaced; and there were the usual questions about "what would Steve Jobs have done/said/thought?".

  » On Friday evening, I was slightly surprised to see the release of an update to iOS 10 (10.0.2).

With the update were fixes for Photos quitting for some users when iCloud Photos was turned on and an issue for some app extensions.
