Magic Ink Information Software and the Graphical Interface by Bret Victor Of software and sorcery A computational process is indeed much like a sorcerer’s idea of a spirit. It cannot be seen or touched. It is not composed of matter at all. However, it is very real. It can perform intellectual work. It can answer questions.

According to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, the name for the next version of macOS is set to be ‘Tahoe’, named after Lake Tahoe in California. This name will accompany Apple’s first macOS redesign since Big Sur in 2020. Gurman describes macOS 26 as the third significant macOS redesign since Apple adopted California names, and Apple wanted to find a special name to accompany it: I’m told that the company has homed in on Lake Tahoe as its next moniker, making it macOS Tahoe. It’s a famous resort area

Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority Call me a Luddite, but my eyes glaze over when a product claims it has an “AI-optimized” design. Whether it’s marketing oversaturation or a growing existential dread as AI threatens to take over both my career and my hobbies, the phrase goes into one ear and out the other as just another buzzword, even though AI is changing the world as I write this. This came back to mind recently after a viral Reddit post showed a screen protector with an “Optimized for AI

With just days to go before WWDC, the consensus is that Apple will unveil a big, visionOS-inspired redesign across its operating systems. And while some might be dreading a repeat of the iOS 7 announcement from a decade ago, it’s been long enough that many readers might not remember (or may have never even seen) what that overhaul actually looked like. So here’s a quick refresher on what happened, and why this year will likely (I mean, hopefully?) be different. The years between 2011 and 2013

It’s hard to stand out in the phone world. Outside of foldable screens like the Flip and Fold pioneered by Samsung, most phones nowadays wind up looking suspiciously iPhone-esque—a rectangular glass slab with small variations in chassis that equate to flat or less-flat edges. That’s why, when phone upstart Nothing put out its Phone 1, a few design tweaks went a long way. First and foremost, the phones have a “transparent design,” which basically just means a slightly see-through backplate that s

While I’m neither religious nor extreme about it – my entire belongings do not fit into a backpack – I’m still one of the most minimalist people I know. Where both household items and design are concerned, I’m relatively close to the less-is-more end of the scale. But even I ended up feeling that iOS 7 had taken things a bit too far. I did enjoy the very stark aesthetic for a time, but I’m very much looking forward to something a little more interesting in iOS 19 … Sure, I don’t want to see us

Most smartwatches are looked at like bulky pieces of tech that happen to fit on your wrist. They’re utilitarian and hardly fashionable, though there are some ways to customize most so they don’t have to look like a massive screen on a bracelet. Still, design trends more toward sporty electronics. The Garmin Lily smartwatch is a lot different, and it tends to lean more toward delicate jewelry, a “normal” wristwatch instead of a multifaceted gadget.

They were not, however, the true antecedents of the first ‘personal computers’.
