Last month I started using Glass, a photo sharing app for the iPhone that was aimed squarely at those of us who miss the glory days of Instagram (you know, when they were less successful 😛). I made a whole video about it that you could watch to see how I

Me 2 months ago on why Glass should add a like button: Maybe this is a terrible idea and I'm in the minority here, but I really do think that I would enjoy the app more if I was able to give lower-friction reactions to people's photos. I still like

When the iPhone 13 Pro launched earlier this fall, we said it had the “best camera” in a smartphone. But a few weeks later, Google’s Pixel 6 Pro, with its 50-megapixel sensor that is hard-coded to produce 12.5-megapixel images, was finally released, proving a worthy competitor for the iPhone 13 Pro’s 12-megapixel camera.

What if, instead of lowering source code down for the purpose of execution, we raised it for the purpose of understanding?
