From Seeing Through the Illusion: Understanding Apple’s Mastery of the Media, a profile examining Apple’s PR strategy: “The keynote is like a production.

Ten years have passed since Leslie Knope introduced Galentine’s Day to the world and it has since evolved into something much bigger than a made-up holiday from Parks and Recreation. As the case with celebrating “treat yo self,” Galentine’s Day was the topic of multiple episodes of the NBC sitcom. Here’s how Galentine’s Day came to be and why it’s so popular. Galentine’s Day made its debut during the Parks and Rec season 2 episode appropriately titled after the special holiday....

FileVault has been included in Macs by Apple since the release of Panther many years ago. In Apple’s most recent release, OS X Lion, the company included FileVault that brought new ways of encryption. FileVault lets you encrypt your entire drive with a master password to protect key-chain passwords, files, and more. FileVault 2 uses a separate partition to store the FileVault login information. Cnet pointed us to a new report from password recovery company PassWare, who claimed it can decrypt Apple’s FileVault 2 in under 40 minutes....

Then on Friday we had Mark Gurman’s reporting that Apple was planning Live Photos, an iPhone 6s feature, for the expected 4-inch iPhone 5se (which likely won’t be called 6c). Today that reporting was followed up with the possibility that the iPhone 5se could have the same processor and co-processor as the iPhone 6s, albeit with fewer pixels to push with a smaller display. Suddenly the iPhone 5se is sounding less like last year’s hardware recycled and more like a serious 4-inch phone to consider....

Update: The analysts were right to be optimistic, but not optimistic enough As we wait for Apple to announce its Q4 results in this afternoon’s earnings call, more than half of the analysts included in Fortune’s survey expect the company to beat its high-end guidance of $37B. The average is driven up by the amateurs, who come in at $37.38B, while the professionals expect just a touch under the top end at $36....

[Ed. note: Jason Stern is a Criminal Defense Attorney in private practice in New York City] 8:34 am. A college professor receives a text message threatening to blow up the history building. The professor immediately contacts law enforcement, who trace the origin of the call to a student who lives off-campus.

For users of the Apple ecosystem, this provides incredible integration with iPhones, iPads, Apple Watch, Mac, and Apple TV....

iOS and Android are completely different worlds when it comes to apps. Android is pretty much the wild west, with little control over quality or even safety (malware is commonplace). iOS, on a non-jailbroken device, is a walled garden, where Apple decides what apps can and can’t do, and which ones get approved for sale. Yet despite that carefully-controlled approach, the App Store can still feel like a bit of a jungle....

Patreon Statistics: Users, Revenue, Top Categories, and More (June 2021): What Is Patreon? Patreon is a membership site that gives creators the financial tools they need to accept financial support from their supporters. This type of creator-fan relationship is nothing new.

What the internet and Patreon have done is allow that concept to be more widely available and give creators access to a range of supporters who are willing to provide financial support....

Jony Ive said in an interview that the iPhone X was both the realization of a long-held ambition, and the beginning of a new chapter in the future development of Apple’s smartphones. That much was predictable. Apple always needs to be working towards the next generation of devices, so of course the iPhone X is going to be just the first of a new line of iPhones. But it was something else he said that I think could suggest a new direction for Apple’s user-interfaces …...
