Apple Maps Location Scan Slows Down Wi-Fi
… oh now THAT is an interesting post from Michael Tsai. I too have had slow downs that I didn’t understand, but next time I will check this out.

Have to say, I didn’t need any prompting, promotion or sponsorship … it was a no brainer.
“The original governmental draft was so bad that I thought that at least it couldn’t get worse …. I was wrong.

Meanwhile, the residents of Crawfish Rock remain vigilant. “We have our eyes open,” said Connor. “We don’t trust no one.”

You know, that goes both ways.
Just been recommended Focus: The Future of Your Company Depends on It by Al Ries 📚- so of course have added it to my ‘Want to Read’ list …

It’s 30 seconds long and nails it.
The problem of course is that even as I type ‘Web3’ which MIGHT have been a solution is coalscing around the usual suspects and power brokers.

The Future of the Metaverse – Imagining the Internet
“While the number of people occupying immersive virtual spaces may exceed half a billion by 2040, what we’ll have is a lot of meta but not yet much verse.

I am not a theologian, but if you are .. or even have knowledge, please read on and let me know your thoughts.
For the longest time I was taught that an atheist is someone who does not believe in ‘a god’.
BUT
On more than a few times recently I have heard it defined as not believing in ‘religion’.
In my mind, ‘god’ and ‘religion’ are not interchangeable.
Has the definition changed through the morphing of language, or is the refined definition just wrong?
If the latter, who’s agenda is it serving to push that narrative?
For the record … I define myself as an agnostic, a classification that seems to not be as common as it once was, which makes me wonder if the spectrum of religious belief has become as polarized as that of politics … and that maybe people are using ‘atheist’ when they mean ‘ agnostic’, maybe even spurred on by the Fry, Hitchens and Dawkins debates that don’t seem to allow for that grey area.
Would welcome considered thought from you all.

One of a series of posts that came from one of my many blogs that I am slowly consolidating into this canonical reference. The old blog was with specific regard to ‘all things Uber’.
The PowerPhotos upgrade looks like a good one.
I was just thinking just the other day how this needs to be made easier and voila - it’s made easier.

“Posers in positions of owners”
I wrote this down without the source, sorry - the conversation was around ‘business threats’.
There is NOTHING ‘Soft’ about ‘Soft Skills’ … yet another military term adopted by business.
I had a theory years ago that Apple were going to disinter-mediate the carriers … and zilch.
How they do it … I don’t know … but it has to be on their radar.
“While Apple’s stated goals will be only iMessage and Find My, followed by IoT, in the longer run Cupertino plans to dis-intermediate the mobile carriers — becoming themselves a satellite-based global phone and data company. That will require shifting over additional Globalstar bandwidth plus launching another 300-600 satellites, so it is several years away but IS coming.”
