Apple Event Follow-Up
David Sparks, over at MacSparky, started out the morning thusly:
I’ve been thinking about the new Apple announcements at this week’s event and have a few random thoughts.
A couple of my favorites:
- Lots of people are going to attack Apple for making a stylus. I disagree. A 13″ tablet is a much different animal than a phone and something that big can definitely use a stylus.
- I had no idea watches with bands that go around twice are a “thing”. My daughter has subsequently set me right on that account.
PYBT: RANDOM THOUGHTS FOLLOWING THE APPLE EVENT for the whole list.

10 awesome iPhone apps
Zach Epstein, over on BGR, has a bad habit of posting lists of cool iPhone/iPad(/iPod Touch)(/Apple Watch) apps that are temporarily free.
Here’s the fine print:
These are paid iPhone and iPad apps that have been made available for free for a limited time by their developers. There is no way to tell how long they will be free. These sales could end an hour from now or a week from now – obviously, the only thing we can guarantee is that they were free at the time this post was written. If you click on a link and see a price listed next to an app instead of the word “get”, it is no longer free. The sale has ended. If you download the app, you will be charged.
Here’s the link to today’s apps:

“Siri, Give Me a Hint”
Sorry. I missed the super secret keynote meeting because I was busy telling 3 million people why the chicken crossed the road.
Look deep within yourself and you will find the answer. Especially on September 9.
I can neither confirm nor deny that I am not authorized either to confirm or deny that I cannot disclose anything that you would then have to confirm. In any case, I would deny it. Got it?
Why don’t you check a rumors blog? That’s what I do.
Can you get a hint? No. You may, however, get a what what.
You’re cute when you’re desperate for information.
You’ll have to wait until September 9. I bet you were one of those kids who snuck downstairs to open presents early, weren’t you?
The only hint I can give you right now is a hint of lime. And that there’s a big announcement on September 9.
What, you can’t tell from my colorful wavey words?
OK… here it is: 01000111 01101111 011101 00 01100011 01101000 011 00001
OK. It’s smaller than a Grafalian battle cruiser and bigger than a mote in a Zoltaxian’s eye.
