+ Why ChapterPod became Chapterize
ChapterPod is now Chapterize
I'm excited to announce a new era for ChapterPod! Due to a bit of a trademark issue (one I am morally in the right on but will address anyway), the app is now called Chapterize.
In addition to the new name, I've added a video feature. This allows you to share

OpenAI announced the end of the Sora app on Twitter today.
We’re saying goodbye to the Sora app. To everyone who created with Sora, shared it, and built community around it: thank you. What you made with Sora mattered, and we know this news is disappointing.

Analyst hat comes off, reviewer hat goes on
Jason Snell thought my MacBook Neo review missed the point of the product:
But this entire conversation misses the most important thing about the MacBook Neo: It is sold in every Apple Store, on Apple’s website, and in every Apple sales channel. Most people won’t think to cruise for a refurbished Air—they

MacBook Neo review: I wish this had an M1 inside
The MacBook Neo is a cool little computer that I like, despite the fact that, on paper, it’s a

The MacBook Neo is worse. We love it.
The MacBook Neo is really something, isn't it? Novelty is a hell of a drug, but I also think there's something to specific products that, despite them clearly not being the best technical option available, still have a draw for some reason. Apple's actually had two examples of this

DLSS 5 looks like ass (and this is coming from a huge DLSS fan)
Cameron Faulkner, Richard Lawler: DLSS 5 looks like a real-time generative AI filter for video games
Nvidia announced DLSS 5 on Monday during its GTC conference, and based on early reactions, it’s going to be a divisive update, with some reactions calling it “slop” that unacceptably alters artistic intent. Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang

From the MotionVFX home page today:
We are extremely excited to share that MotionVFX is joining the Apple team to continue to empower creators and editors to do their best work.

Please review my apps
My apps very rarely prompt you to leave a review on the App Store. Truthfully, it's something that I completely forget to consider when I'm developing an app. I only remember to add it down the road, and as such, my apps don't have a lot of reviews compared

Folding iPhone rumors verses my iPadOS predictions
Mark Gurman had a new report this past week where he suggested that the folding iPhone would allow apps to be displayed side by side on the internal screen, and that iPad apps would not run on the device, although Apple is working to update their apps to have a more iPad-like layout when

I'm trying to let the iPad be its best self
I sometimes feel like I'm a minor villain in the iPad enthusiast world. It probably doesn't help that I'm pretty outspoken for wanting a touch screen tablet-style Mac or that I recently titled a post "Apple will kill iPadOS." But I honestly think that the world

The different lessons learned using a Mac
Sam Henri Gold: “This Is Not The Computer For You”
Yes, you will hit the limits of this machine. 8GB of RAM and a phone chip will see to that. But the limits you hit on the Neo are resource limits — memory is finite, silicon has a clock speed, processes cost something. You are learning
