This makes me so freaking happy. It's @daringfireball.bsky.social review of "Apple: The First 50 Years."
"The book is nothing short of an instant classic —just a remarkable, essential, and unique work."

Today, on Apple’s 50th anniversary, I’ve written up five stories from my own relationship with Apple. Most of ‘em, I’ve never told before!

Today's the day: Apple's 50th anniversary!
To help celebrate, I've written a story for New York mag called "Searching for Steve Jobs." It's my attempt, based on knowing Jobs a little and interviewing people who knew him a lot, to pin down what he was really like.

Oh Jason you should’ve played the Vision Pro jingle for your pick!!!!!! 😱
I was thinking the same. Apart from maybe banning kids under a certain age I can’t really see what changes could be made by the platform owners.

I don’t feel Apple using a Google AI is any different to using Samsung screens. Thoughts? 🤔
Agreed.

The WSJ review of "Apple: The First 50 Years" in IN!
“It’s about as dramatic a business narrative as you could think up. To write a biography of a corporation that has lived numerous lives in its 50 years is a huge task, and Mr. Pogue’s easy style fits…"

Congratulations to all your hard work! So looking forward to reading it. Been following you since the first Missing Manual books, which I still enjoy reading due to your brilliant humour. Blessings from Birmingham UK 👍🏻
PUBLICATION DAY! This morning, “Apple: The First 50 Years” appeared in bookstores, on front porches, in e-book apps, and on audiobook sites. Two years of work, 150 interviews, 360 color photos, 600 pages, and an absolutely gorgeous result!
Bigotry and xenophobia are pillars of fascism. Outrage should be a pillar of journalism, but reaction to Ogles and Fine has been muffled in media.

Absolutely no disrespect to Christina’s brains and wisdom, but am I the only one who can’t stop looking at her? *crush* 🤭

Yes, shut off kids from predators, porn, other harmful information, cyber bullying, unreal goals.
Not good 😒
Three million pages of Epstein files were released. Around the world: arrests, investigations, resignations. In the U.S.? Officials say there’s “nothing there” and the person who appears in the files the most goes unscrutinized. @gloriouslygloria.bsky.social examines the silence.

I really hope they make any potential red iPhone a Product red. Please Apple show your charitable side again!
