Former Apple engineer Jean-Charles Mourey recalls:
"Walking around ATG was like walking around James Bond's gadget lab. So many smart, innovative people like Will Oxford, Ph.D with mind-blowing ideas."
Apple engineer John Worthington: There were people inside the company who said, “No one’s ever going to listen to music or watch videos on a computer. Ever.”
A dozen people at #Apple changed that. This is their story.

Proud to have an extract from my book in @theverge.com as part of the Apple@50 annniversary. www.theverge.com/tech/902721/...
Two nations under different skies, with the same values and ambitions. The Land Down Under and the Truth North Strong and Free. 🇦🇺🇨🇦
In 1989 NYT's John Markoff quoted analyst Charles Wolf - "Moses went to the mountain for the Ten Commandments, Steve Jobs went to the mountain and came back with the Macintosh. But can John Sculley go to the mountain and come back with something unique?"
Did Tim Cook come back with Neo?

“I just read, start to finish. Could not stop once I started. Many of the stories I was familiar with from my day to day workings at Apple, but did not know how and why they ended up at Apple. All in all a very interesting read. Well done”. Don North ex-Advanced Technology Group books.by/john-buck
Members of the "Elope" Force sent into Northern Russia, including Australian and Canadian servicemen.
Hey Canada. It’s but one game. As you know, we’re with you for the long haul. Always got your back. Regards, all Australians. @mark-carney.bsky.social
@cdeccleshare.bsky.social Is the Whoop vs Slams controversy more about Whoop not paying enough to Tennis Australia et al Are the "ongoing discussions" just about what number to write on the checks?
@mattfutterman.bsky.social I really enjoyed the AO Men's Final piece. "Which one was it?" It was the "Which one was it?"
Rev Al Sharpton on Trump being a hollow puppet to donors. "He's not an ideologue, he's an entertainer. If he loses popularity, Trump will switch in a minute and change the concert from folk to rock. Don't give him any credit, he's Elvis not Colonel Tom Parker." @nicollewallace.bsky.social @ms.now

Single shots of contributors rather than 3 or 4 staring faces. Noted. Liked. Thumbs up 👍🏻 @nicollewallace.bsky.social team
No two Apple job interviews were the same.

Sure the guests are great but I stay for the @nicollewallace.bsky.social one-liners like this ->aimed at the Republicans - "I don’t think they’re bending a knee (to Trump) they live on their knees." @kristygreenberg.bsky.social @repdangoldman.bsky.social
Our Prime Minister has offered "thoughts and prayers” in the first 12 hours. Now he has brought all state governments together- 24 hours after the atrocity. They will tighten gun ownership and act on antisemitism. And drop that - “it’s the wrong time to talk about this."

If you’re into Rachel Maddow Presents: Burn Order, you need to listen to Billy Bragg’s Everywhere. #burnorder @maddow.bsky.social
Larry Tesler says, “You don’t have a degree, and we don’t know where to put you” So Larry was a no, but Harry Vertelney says, 'No, no, no, he's great. He's going to do exactly what we need him to do.

So insightful, considered and fun. All done in the moment. Great live television. Thanks @nicollewallace.bsky.social @mollyjongfast.bsky.social 'The Rev' and @jheil.bsky.social and the Deadline WH team.
Just coming here to check on how many Republican lawmakers have rebuked Trump for his comments condoning the murder of journalists and dismissing a female reporter as "piggy" and...anyone?
Bring Back Bix.

Former Head of Software Engineering at Apple, Mike Potel:
"For so many of the people named in this book, Steve Jobs's leaving was a breath of fresh air. The skunkworks projects and next-generation technology efforts that were hidden away and kept secret from Steve, were now out in the open."
Such was the siloed nature of various skunkworks that management greenlit PenLite. Tom Gilley recalls:
Apple moved 20 people into a new portable group, under Sue King. She aligned us with a software team, called PenMac, to create the ‘Mac Look and Feel’.
