@caseyliss @SnazzyQ I’m glad that I’m not the only one to have experienced the slowness… I find Spotlight on the Mac to be the total opposite—very snappy!
@Alcedine Haha yes, he’s similar in that aspect!
@Alcedine Just in case… haha. I’ve been told before that it’s hard to tell when I’m being sarcastic or ironic. 😂
@Alcedine Ahhhh that makes sense! Thanks for clearing that up! Of course, I was only kidding on the podcast about other substances coming out of the iron, but it was a shock at the time. 😂
@Andrewsalvati I think so… 🤔
@zcichy Everything Everywhere All at Once
Pay attention to tweets like this one, @Apple. Pushing further into the ad business threatens the trust and perception of quality that you’ve built with customers for years. Your products should remain ‘insanely great’. twitter.com/cabel/status/1…
@lukebuckmaster @AdlFilmFest A great story!

@andrewcanion Yep, I reckon you’ve got a point there.
@danielpunkass It’s great that you’re honest about all of that (particularly the second point): I think a lot of people regard themselves as good managers, when really they’re not.
@HemisphericPod @andrewcanion, is that you? 🤔😂
@Alcedine Thank you for the wonderful recognition! I’ll be honest: I speak in puns so much now that sometimes I make them without even realising! It’s a Feld thing, I think. 😂
@mckenziewark Yes, you’re right! Apologies, maybe I should have been clearer. 👍 I meant the point that it’s used so widely that no one (working class or otherwise) is offended by it.
@mckenziewark Fascinating! 😂 I’d never thought of the word fulfilling that purpose, although I’ve heard it used increasingly as a casual nickname or term of endearment. Do you think it will go the way of a word like ‘bugger’ in Aus., which is so commonplace that Toyota even used it in ads? 🤔
@zcichy Sorry to blatantly self-promote but we’d welcome you as a listener @HemisphericPod! We call ourselves ‘tech-adjacent’—chatting about tech but with a bit of silliness and some cultural differences between Australia and the US. 🙂
@mig_loren Sigur Rós, Ólafur Arnalds, Brian Eno and the Battlestar Galactica soundtracks are particular favourites.
@mig_loren Instrumental music (e.g. ambient, classical, movie soundtrack) is the way to go if I’m undertaking fairly mundane or routine tasks, but if it’s long-form writing, it has to be silent. 🤫
@amicusadastra Milestones are great but minestrone is more delicious. You should lean into the mispronunciation! 😀 e.g. ‘Congratulations on your fantastic minestrone!’
@_upgradefm @jsnell Petrichor is one of the best words.
@cysam I agree with you that something tiny and wearable is Meta’s goal! 👍 Maybe I should have been clearer—I only meant that most consumers don’t care (yet) and Apple has a habit of waiting ages to launch things that may technically do less but have very focused product marketing. 🙂
@danielpunkass Salivating over here
@daringfireball @gruber Nice points 👍
VR will certainly become bigger than it is, but phones are popular because they fit in pockets and handbags and are easily put away.
I agree with your general assertion that AR is more compelling; Apple’s likely to ship something more minimal and focused.
@Andrewsalvati Go in with no planned questions other than the first one. Set the theme with that first one and base all following (open) questions on the guest’s responses, seeing where they take you. This lets the participant have some level of control over the direction of the story.
@danielpunkass That looks absolutely delicious.
