Life, Graham K. Rogers, Published on 13/07/2016
» In a couple of weeks, Apple will announce its third-quarter results for 2016. The conference call is scheduled for July 26, at 2pm Pacific Time, which is around 5am here. This is expected to be a poorer quarter, but so was the last one, and Apple still had a US$10 billion profit.

Results, replacements, watermarking and cartoon-style output
Life, Graham K. Rogers, Published on 03/02/2016
» Last week, Apple announced its First Quarter 2016 results. Income was within Apple's guidance, but that did not stop Wall Street from deciding that Apple was doomed, despite the largest quarterly profits from any company ever. If Apple were a country, its GDP would give it a ranking of 42 (Thailand is 29).

Successes, failures and a finale
Life, Graham K. Rogers, Published on 12/04/2017
» On May 2, Apple will announce its Second Quarter Results for 2017. The conference call is scheduled for 2pm Cupertino Time on Tuesday, which is around 4am Wednesday here. In the next couple of weeks we can expect a series of comments about how Apple will fail; and on how it should spend its cash on buying companies. Ignore these: Apple does its own thing and is usually right in the long run.

» When writing a summary of 2016 on my own site recently, I made a prediction: Apple's Q1 2017 financial results would be announced on Jan 24. I was wrong, it will be on the 31st, and as always will feature live audio transmission, although it will be at about 5am here.

Not all electrical devices are created equal
Life, Graham K. Rogers, Published on 18/01/2017
» Last week was the 10th anniversary of Steve Jobs' iPhone introduction. I was there covering the event for the Bangkok Post's Database section, which is now part of Life. I did handle a prototype iPhone the day after that memorable keynote, but at that stage it was still under development. During the next six months up to its June introduction, there was much misinformation about the device from commentators who had never seen it, including a widely-copied theory about the ineffectiveness of the touch keyboard. It continues today.

Correcting impressions, Apple news and a backup alternative
Life, Graham K. Rogers, Published on 01/02/2017
» I bumped into one of my former students one evening last week travelling home on the BTS. As a computer engineer he is interested in technology and asked me about the AirPods.

Life, Graham K. Rogers, Published on 19/10/2016
» The iPhone 7 will be on sale in Thailand on Friday and I checked prices on some online sites. Dtac was hiding its information behind passwords: only for those who had pre-ordered. True showed the new iPhones contract-free, from 26,500 baht for the 32GB iPhone 7 up to 39,500 baht for the 256GB iPhone 7 Plus.

» One of my favourite apps released in the last couple of years is Affinity Photo: a full-featured graphics editing program for the Mac aimed at home users who need something more than basic tools, but who may not want to use Adobe Photoshop because of pricing models.
