» The arrival of the Touch Bar with the MacBook Pro brought into focus how some of us use our devices, especially personal computers. The emphasis here is on the word, "personal". Over the last three months (a MacBook Pro arrived in my hands in the last days of November) I have been able to incorporate the features that the Touch Bar provides into my workflow.

WWDC 2016: Reflections in the Bay

» Since the keynote presentation at last Monday's World Wide Developers' Conference (WWDC) I have given much thought to the implications of what we saw and to some future possibilities. Like the other media attendees at WWDC, we all take notes in our own ways at the event, then ask questions. I was able to talk to several people, including developers who are most excited at the potential they have to produce software using Apple's tools.

» To read some of the press in the last few days, one would think that Apple is about to go bust. Again. Display rumours were exciting; a new iPhone shape was expected. Now Nikkei claims that the iPhone 7 will not have enough that is new, so Apple will die or something. That caused another drop in Apple shares, which may be the point: what goes down, will go up; then look at all the profits.

Predictions are usually pinned on share price and growth; but Apple's products, and profits, are better indicators.

A few days with the Apple Watch in Bangkok

» I haven’t worn a wristwatch for over 20 years, so the idea of the Apple Watch did not initially gel with me. I use an iPhone and a pocket watch. I did weaken however when I saw some technical specifications.
