Yet what Dye seems most fascinated by is one of the Apple Watch’s faces, called Motion, which you can set to show a flower blooming. Each time you raise your wrist, you’ll see a different color, a different flower. This is not CGI. It’s photography.
“We shot all this stuff,” Dye says, “the butterflies and the jellyfish and the flowers for the motion face, it’s all in-camera. And so the flowers were shot blooming over time. I think the longest one took us 285 hours, and over 24,000 shots.”
Such a great article from Wired on the watch faces from the upcoming Apple Watch. I know for my wife, the butterfly face will be her go to. Or maybe the Mickey Mouse. She wants a Tinkerbell one, but I’d be willing to bet that developers will be able to design watch faces and complications soon.
Quite a few good articles on the Apple Watch published today as the presale starts tomorrow at midnight (PST).
Apple Watch reservations for in-store pickup will be limited to one per customer through Apple's Reserve and Pickup service, MacRumors has learned. Customers in the United States and other launch countries will be required to present a valid government-issued photo ID upon pickup at the Apple Store where they placed their Apple Watch reservation, and only the person named on the reservation will be allowed to pick up the product.
Wait. Did you think I was talking about voting? No! A photo ID shouldn’t be required for something silly like that. Don’t want to discriminate. But one will be required to buy your Apple Watch. Make sure you have one!
"When Tim Cook is upset about all the places that he does business because of the way they treat gays and women, he needs to withdraw from 90 percent of the markets that he's in, including China and Saudi Arabia," Fiorina said to the Wall Street Journal. "But I don't hear him being upset about that."
Boom. The Middle Eastern countries are known for killing gays. This is everyday practice for them. Yet, Mr. Cook continues to do business in these countries without a thing to say about their clearcut intolerance. Crazy hypocrisy.
Used to a lunch mob, Memories Pizza faces the lynch mob now for standing by their faith. The media has manipulated their words, after specifically hunting down a business that would stand by their faith, to make them look like horrible people. Because of this, they have received many threats and are unable to open their business or exit their homes. The mob has gone as far as threatening to burn their business down, by a teacher and high school coach no less. Luckily the school is taking action against this coach, suspending her and looking into further action.
Well, the people over at The Blaze are rallying support for this family-owned business on GoFundMe and have raised over $150,000 for them thus far. I emplore you to support them too. Threatening those that disagree with you is not tolerance and it is certainly not American.
Ian Tuttle at National Review’s Corner blog discovered that Memories Pizza has come under attack on Google Maps of all places. A search for pizza parlors in the Walkerton shows Memories Pizza, but if you click on the image, gay propaganda pops up, and under reviews of the pizza parlor a few hundred of them, they are attacks on the tiny business.
One says, “This business believes in hate.”
Another says, “I commend you for your ‘we hate gays’ confession. It is not every day that that a business is willing to alienate 60% of their customer base who support gay marriage.”
Yet another says, “Memories Pizza owner are bigots.”
And another, “Bigoted owners=hateful employees=terrible service= plenty of other pizza places to choose from…ignore this place.”
Yelp is not any better. One guys writes, “My wife/cousin and I went hoping to see some vintage kkk memorabilia and check out their 3rd Reich themed menus but were disappointed to find that their hate is only directed at gays!”
Another simply said, “You suck. And you’re probably going to go under.”
A guy from Houston said, “I was totally going to get this place to cater my gay wedding, but since Crystal and her incestuous family don’t support the fact that I’ve chosen to have sex with men instead of the goats they breed with, it looks like I’m going to have to go with Dominoes.”
So intense were the threatening phone calls, emails, and Tweets, that the owner simply closed the shop, for now, until the liberal tolerance blows over.
Yesterday I published an article on a pizza shop in Indiana that was interviewed about the new RFRA law. Today the business has been shut down due to threatening phone calls, emails, and tweets, along with slanderous posts on Yelp and Google. Because #tolerance.
Our phones have become invasive. But what if you could engineer a reverse state of being? What if you could make a device that you wouldn’t—couldn’t—use for hours at a time? What if you could create a device that could filter out all the bullshit and instead only serve you truly important information? You could change modern life. And so after three-plus decades of building devices that grab and hold our attention—the longer the better—Apple has decided that the way forward is to fight back.
Great article, start to finish, about the upcoming Apple Watch. If you want a look behind the curtain of Apple and how much they push every detail of a product, read this article.
Wow. These people must be complete scumbags that have never read the Bible in their— Wait.
“If a gay couple came in and wanted us to provide pizzas for their wedding, we would have to say no,” says Crystal O'Connor of Memories Pizza.
Oh, and more:
The O'Connor family told ABC 57 news that if a gay couple or a couple belonging to another religion came in to the restaurant to eat, they would never deny them service.
They said they wouldn’t cater a gay wedding, not that they would deny food as a whole to gay people. That is a big distinction! One is discrimination against a person and one is a type of event they don’t provide their services to. I’m sure the same restaurant doesn’t provide catering to a porn convention. Or a strip club. That would be fine and they wouldn’t be called bigots. But because they don’t cater gay weddings, they are bigots. Yeah, makes sense. Hashtag tolerance.
Someone needs to look up what the term “courteous” means. Maybe look it up in the Federal Dictionary Act. A corporation is a person under the law. And with that, they get the rights of a person. Freedom of Speech and Religion included. But the media just wants to push a singular view.
Speaking of which, interestingly, we’re told gays have the right to marry and buy cakes and so forth because gay is not a choice. And gay is not a choice, they say, because gays are gay from birth. And if gays are gay from birth, then the matter is genetic, and if it’s genetic then gays are gay even before birth. But if gays are gay before birth, then it would seem that they were them in the womb. In other words, whatever their nature is, their essence, they had that, they were that, in the womb. And if they are now what they were then, and were then what they are now, then either they’re people now and they were people then, or they weren’t people then and they aren’t now.
Such great words here.
A creature is whatever it is. It can adapt and change and grow, but it cannot alter its nature. It cannot morph from one essence to another. Once it is, it is. It cannot be just a potentiality. The moment it becomes, it is an actuality, not a potential actuality. You can’t be mere potential, because then you wouldn’t be, do you see?
Duh.
Look, this is elementary logic. Like, well below first grade level. So elementary that children (or “half-people,” using liberal terminology) understand it on an instinctual level. They might have to learn what a horse or a pig is, but once they’re taught, they’ll likely never ask whether a horse can be a horse but not a horse at the same time. No, it’ll take at least 12 years of public school and four years at college for them to get that dumb.
The Blaze writes a great article, again, that calls out the hypocrisy and stupidity of the progressive movement.
Create customized screenshots for your app in just 3 steps! All you have to do is to pick one of the predesigned templates, add your text, customize the color scheme and finally export amazing screenshots to the App Store!
Cool service for something that is increasingly becoming difficult for dev shops. If you want 5 screenshots for your app and support iPad and iPhone, you’re looking at 25 screenshots. iPhone 4s, iPhone 5, iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus, and iPad. Hopefully, if iOS 9 drops iPhone 4s support, we’ll have only 20 shots after this summer. What’s worse if when you support multiple languages, you need shots for each language as well. 25 per language is a lot of work.
