        • I like that you have enhanced control of music and other media without messing with the lock screen.

          Stressing about the look of the icons is pretty funny. I think it will be fine. Now I wish they would come up with some sort of file system.

          • Got to play around with an iPhone today running iOS 7. I like it.

                • A somewhat recent interview with the Woz who says some interesting things about Jobs...

                  Woz thought the Mac started out as a lousy product. (I agree.) Also it was other people, like Sculley, that made the mac a success.

                  Steve really took over the project when I had a plane crash and wasn't there. He took over the project, and it was really my own opinion — only my opinion — that he wanted to compete with the Lisa group that had kicked him out. He liked to call them idiots for making it too expensive. Well, one megabyte of RAM back then cost 10,000 of today's dollars. He made a cheap one — but what he did was he made a really weak, lousy computer, to tell you truth, in the Macintosh, and still at a fairly high price. He made it by cutting the RAM down, by forcing you to swap disks here and there. It was a lousy product. Every time we improved the Macintosh, year by year by year, it got closer to what the Lisa had been.

                  We didn't get the Lisa back until we got OS X from NeXT. Once we had OS X, that was the Lisa! But we had it so early … If we had just worked on it and developed it until it was at a personal computer price, we would've had the most incredible technology ever for GUI computers and we would've really owned it and had the rights to it. So Macintosh… the Macintosh failed, really hard, and who built the Macintosh into a success later on? It wasn't Steve, he was gone. It was other people like John Sculley who worked and worked to build a Macintosh market when the Apple II went away.

                  • So plastic iPhone5 is now the iPhone 5c. The new 5s gets a 64-bit processor. Sounds cool and fast. Upgraded camera, free iPhoto and iWork apps and iOS 7. The most interesting is the M7 processor which is supposed to track movements and they're working on a fitness app with Nike. Also prices have dropped for both. Still pretty meh. I guess there is a fingerprint sensor too. Big whoop.

                      Apple doesn't get it. How about an increase in screen size?

                        You can now get the iPhone in different colors too.

                          Didn't they try that with iPods too, right before iPods got replaced by smartphones?

                            I like the fingerprint sensor... good idea.

                            It seemed like a puzzling addition at first, but the company just shed some light on what the sensor actually brings to the table. Users will be able to simply touch their home buttons (rather than swipe the screen) to unlock their iDevice, but more importantly, Touch ID can be used to authenticate your iTunes purchases. Granted, the prospect of giving your fingerprint to Apple seems like a conspiracy theorist’s dream come true (though the events of the past few months make such concerns much more understandable), but Apple says that user fingerprints will be encrypted and will not be available to third parties.

                                I just conceived the plot for a book/movie involving a string of iPhone users framed for murders they didn't commit.
