WWDC 2014 starts in about a week. I’m sure that by this time next week there will be a line around Moscone West waiting to get in to hear what new offerings Apple has for their community.

I’m very irked by the recent update to AppleTV. There are three new “apps” on my TV for History Channel, A&E, and LifeTime. The trick is that they are hobbled unless my cable company is DirecTV, Optimum, or Verizon FiOS. Since I do not subscribe to any of those, I’m locked out of the main content.…

I’m out of the office and away from home this week. I’m relying on my iPhone to provide my Internet connection. I have a 10GB data plan that more than covers my needs. Yet, I keep hitting these limits that are preventing me from using my phone.…

Very bizarre movie. The trailers made it look like Men in Black IV. That preconception was accurate although the movie could have also been in the Ghostbusters franchise if it were more funny. About the only thing the trailers didn’t give away was Kevin Bacon who has seemingly made his way finally from TV to the big screen.…
