Rene Ritchie was kind enough to have me as a guest on his YouTube show to talk about it. Lost - at least slightly - amidst the hubbub surrounding the M1 Pro/Max MacBook Pros is that MacOS 12 Monterey shipped this week, too. Wednesday, 27 October 2021 Rene Ritchie and Yours Truly Talking About MacOS 12 Monterey ★ Like a truly great slogan, it focuses the mind in a way a nuanced essay can’t. Sometimes you really can compress a complex thought into a tweet. Regular People: We’ve been paying our taxes this whole time, bro. On Taxing Billionaires ★Įlon Musk: Beware! If they can tax a billionaire like me, they can Static, it vaguely resembles goggles - which might be shortsighted.
I don’t hate it, but it clearly works best when animated in 3D. Not saying I love it, but it’s not bad and it does fit their new strategic initiative.

Longtime readers know how I feel about concept videos. Is it worth 90 minutes of your time? Maybe! I’ll spoil this: the whole thing is just a series of concept videos showing things Facebook Meta wants to build, not things they have built. I read it - you can listen to it, too, if you prefer - after watching the keynote video, and it changed my mind about the nature of the keynote, to some degree. I hate to say it - because (a) I personally so dislike Facebook Meta and (b) in my role as president of Dithering, I don’t want to concede something so flattering to the mere CEO of Dithering - but this is an excellent interview.
