The reason why Jobs head-hunted & hand-picked Tim Cook was this: scale. Cook was hired because he understood "vertical markets" and knew what was needed to make their own silicon.

#Apple
I am really hoping that the next CEO of #Apple starts to really try to instruct teams to innovate in many ways. You see, as quite the Apple fanboy, I have started to realize that every year, we keep basically getting the exact same type of phone with just slightly better features. When are we actually going to see something advanced in that regard? Sure, some might say: "If its not broken, don't fix it.", but innovation keeps things from being boring to buy and less likely as a result for me to do so in the future. I'm not even excited about the IPhone 18, but I am if the fold is actually something coming out this year, because that's innovation and hasn't been done by Apple before. Also, I hope the new CEO can devise a plan for accessibility concerns to be taken more seriously, especially when it comes to Voice Over on the #Mac, because we really need a proactive coding team to fix bugs and further improve VO if its possible to do so. Clearly, that 3rd party screen reader for the Mac idea failed as I have heard nothing about it, so it stands to reason that we need to work with VO, and so I think as a whole, if VO can improve, more #Blind people might end up using macs a lot more than we do now.
Repubblica.it: Tim Cook, finisce il regno dell’erede di Steve Jobs: così in 15 anni ha trasformato Apple
Meno visionario, ma capace di guidare l’evoluzione dell’azienda nella più efficiente macchina economica della storia tech
Tim Cook, the end of the reign of Steve Jobs’ heir: in 15 years he transformed Apple.
Less visionary, but capable of guiding the company’s evolution within the most efficient economic machine in the history of tech.
With John taking over as CEO when he is, he is getting an opportunity that even Tim did not have. So many Apple folks at senior levels and below are retiring now, so John will have the unique opportunity to pick a lot of key people that will fill his vision going forward.

US Top News and Analysis | Greg Abel is shaking up Berkshire Hathaway's portfolio. These stocks could be affected
AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.
Greg Abel is rapidly reshaping Berkshire Hathaway’s roughly $300 billion equity portfolio, reportedly unwinding positions linked to former investment manager Todd Combs after Combs left for JPMorgan in late 2025. In his first annual letter, Abel emphasized a focus on a tight core of holdings—Apple, American Express, Coca‑Cola and Moody’s—while eschewing new managers to replace Combs. The move follows Berkshire’s earlier divestiture of about 80 percent of its Amazon stake in the fourth quarter of 2025 and reflects Abel’s intent to assert control over the conglomerate’s investment strategy as he succeeds Warren Buffett.

New post on The Byte Architect:
**Filesystem Wars: Why Your Choice of Storage is Actually a Security Move**
This is not a “which filesystem should I use?” checklist. It is a walk through the ideas behind FFS, BFS, NTFS, ext4, ZFS, and APFS — and why storage design is never just about storage.
Crash consistency, journaling, soft updates, CoW, snapshots, encryption, space sharing: different filesystems solve different problems, and those choices shape reliability, usability, and security.
The real target, of course, is APFS.

After years of hauling around #Apple Newtons & Palm PDAs this felt less like a phone & more like someone had slipped a tiny computer into my pocket.
Back then, phones still had personality. They were weird, bold, ambitious. Today, most of them look like slightly different versions of the same black rectangle.
And that moment when you flipped it open — screen, keyboard — it felt like pure magic. Probably my first straight-edge high

Apple has since hardened the affected systems against this attack, and those protections were rolled out in iOS 26.4 and macOS 26.4. Luckily, RSAC has not seen any evidence of this vulnerability being exploited by attackers out in the wild, but users running earlier versions of iOS and macOS should upgrade to the hardened versions as soon as is practicable. …"

Happy #Friday everyone!
Here's your face-palming dose of #ai #news. According to #TheRegister, security researchers recently tricked #appleintelligence into #swearing at #users.
Researchers executed a crafty prompt injection bypass Apple's filters. Their attack had a staggering 76% success rate.
From the article:
"While the researchers only tricked Apple Intelligence into cursing at users, this same technique could be abused to manipulate any data that's accessible to apps and services using the model."
Let that sink in.

Gotta love developers sometimes. Been noticing more and more stuff in Logic failing recently, and the latest update to 12.2 continues the trend. Now it's impossible to change the track icon - right clicking doesn't bring up the option selection and even selecting "Assign Track Icon" in the context menu does nothing. How is it even possible to break something so intrinsic to the code base???
