I wrote previously about upcoming design changes to Apple’s 27 series of OSs, but I didn’t run any of the betas myself. From afar, the changes all looked great to me. After having installed the updates at launch on Monday, I’m very happy with just about every visual tweak. But, believe it or not, I still have more grumbles about Liquid Glass.

It's both a "Snow Leopard update" and a major leap for Apple Intelligence.

Today, I’m proud to announce Homebrew 7.0.0. The most significant changes since 6.0.0 are faster installations and upgrades, stronger sandboxing, a native macOS app, built-in vulnerability checks and an advisory database, the end of macOS 10.15 support and Intel Macs moving to Tier 3.

Apple held its iPhone event on Wednesday, and the hardware announcements were exactly as rumoured. As usual, the surprises were in the software. I’d been planning for months to replace my first-generation Ultra, and was excited to see what new features the new Ultra might have. But two of the new features now have me worried about the future of wearable tech in general.

I really enjoy John Gruber’s podcast The Talk Show. However, I’ve noticed that it’s been a while since it was in my feed. I decided to chart previous episode dates to check some of my assumptions about release frequency.

Important Note: Although I work at Apple in the password management and app/website authentication spaces, in this post I am speaking only for myself, personally. There is no “news” in this post or any kind of “inside scoop”. Please do share this post, but if I see “Apple’s Ricky Mondello” anywhere, I’ll be sad. My [...]

Today is September 1, 2026 — the day that John Ternus becomes CEO of Apple. As you would assume, Apple has now updated its executives page with Ternus as CEO, along with a refreshed profile for him. I wanted to note three narratives that I spotted in this profile that I

I was catching up on my RSS feed and saw this post from The Pen Addict. In it, Brad Dowdy mentions some updates to his Analog Defaults page. That’s a cool idea, so I also set one up. I also thought this would be a good excuse for me to write about notebook preferences for journalling.

Yesterday, Stephen Hackett wrote about changes to the traffic light buttons in macOS Golden Gate beta 6. I think these new buttons are a big improvement, and the change gives me hope that other things could be “unflattened” in future versions of the OS.

I mostly use my web stats service because I get a lizard-brain kick from watching numbers go up, but it also provides some fun insights. For example, it’s how I found out about bubbles.town.

RAMmaggedon comes for Apple, leaving price increases of up to 67% in its wake.

This year’s WWDC keynote was an odd one. It was relatively short at around 76 minutes, for one thing. It also eschewed the usual OS-by-OS structure, but I think that’s for the best. The biggest change was that there was really only one major thing Apple wanted to talk about: “Apple Intelligence”.

I’ve been following Apple news and rumours since the year 2000, and I don’t think I’ve ever been less excited for WWDC. Apple’s software story is in rough shape, and I worry that this year’s event won’t do much to help. Perhaps it’ll be the beginning of an upswing, but we’ve got quite a way to go.
