In making a watch, Apple enters the rare industry that can match its own obsession over detail. That was immediately clear in the time Apple chose to display on the device: nine minutes past 10 o’clock.

The subtle implication: Apple is ahead of its analog competitors, which typically set their watch faces in advertisements and other public displays to 10 past 10 o’clock. Rolex is famously particular about its preference for 10:10:31. TAG Heuer sets its wristwatches to 10:10:37. Bell & Ross insists on 10:10:10.

Timex also uses 10:09, but Apple even beats them by six seconds.

It profits a man to immerse himself, once in a while, in the dark side of existence.

When you're so close to the perfect interview bite to make the scene work but you just can't find it or Frankenbite it.

“We are [using] a technology that was never designed for replacement animation, never designed for mass production at this level of scrutiny and this level of precision between parts.”

The most exciting production technology, IMHO.

United States copyright regulators are agreeing with Wikipedia’s conclusion that a monkey’s selfie cannot be copyrighted by a nature photographer whose camera was swiped by the ape in the jungle. The animal’s selfie went viral. The US Copyright Office, in a 1,222-page report discussing federal copyright law, said that a “photograph taken by a monkey” is unprotected intellectual property.
