I’m pretty sure the Iconfactory doesn’t need help to kickstart a new social media app. The Apple echo chamber would have written, talked, shared, and gushed about it, if they just launched it themselves instead of it being a Kickstarter project.
The original Iron Chef is infinitely better than the American Food Network version. The English dub is just chef’s kiss emoji, perfect.
Om Malik writing about Apple Vision Pro
Regardless of what Apple says about “spatial computing” and “working” on Vision Pro, I believe this is the future of TV!
Yeah.
Okay.

Wasn’t the United States supposed to ban Tik Tok?
I like the HEY email idea. I do not like the HEY email price. I don’t think I’ll be paying $100 a year for a service that I currently get for free. The value isn’t there for me.
Paul Kafasis wonders about shipping Hallmark cards and exposes the hidden reality of e-commerce.

Hey @vincent did you know paddle was inputting tracking pixels in your Tinylytics payment email?
I know, or at least I’m pretty sure, you’re not putting those in there. Just wanted you to be aware of it. At least, HEY email thinks there’s a tracking pixel in the email.

The US government budget is $6 Trillion dollars. That is 0.0002% of the budget.
I decided to try HEY email to see if it will work for me. Apparently they wanted to do a Calendar this year as well. But, Apple rejected their app.
David Heinemeier Hansson posted about the rejection. And said Basecamp wouldn’t pay the 30% app store premium.
We’re never going to roll over and pay Apple 30% in protection money to be left alone.
He ended the post with
One can only dream. But one should also fight. You don’t get something for nothing.
I’m struck wondering, why does he thinks HEY Calendar should be listed in the Apple App store for nothing? Getting listed is something.
