This is very curious that a single app can cause an iPhone to misbehave like this. This shouldn’t happen regardless of what the app is doing. I suspect we will hear more about this in the coming days. Source: Apple Identifies Issue With GasBuddy App Causing Some iPhones to Become Unresponsive [Updated] – Mac Rumors

Daring Fireball: Trump’s FCC Commissioner Calls on Apple to ‘Activate’ iPhone FM Antennas That No Longer Exist
September 29th, 2017 · No Comments
What’s absurd is that the FCC commissioner would take his understanding of the iPhone’s technical capabilities from a newspaper editorial rather than from Apple’s own FCC regulatory filings, which I’m pretty sure would show that they’re not capable of acting as FM radios.

Time Service At Microsoft Is Incorrect
June 13th, 2013 · No Comments
So for a few days I couldn’t figure out why the time on my Windows laptop was ahead by 4-5 minutes. I figured the time sync service/feature in control panel wasn’t working so I went to take a look there. Clicked update a few times to make sure it was working. Yup, its working but […]

December 27th, 2006 · No Comments
Interesting post from John Romero about NeXT being used in the early Id Software days. I remember checking out and wanting a NeXT machine around 1990 timeframe. And somehow I didn't realize or totally forgot that NeXTStep became Cocoa.
