We cover a couple of Robservatory topics, then talk about Apple's Mac Pro non-announcement. And Kirk bought two cars.

We cover Apple's minor announcements, then begin a broad discussion into home lighting solutions like the Philips Hue.

We continue our discussion of digital books, MDM solutions, and then cover auto-play videos (and how to turn them off). We also tease an upcoming car-focused episode.

We continue our discussion of declining Apple software quality, MDM solutions, the difference between chat, email, and phone calls when it comes to communication, and the current state if the iBooks ecosystem.

We discuss the power of "no" and how it can actually be a positive word, the recent Apple Developer certificate problem, and relatively simple tricks to improve your device security and privacy.

We talk about the Facebook Manifesto, customizing the iTunes interface, preview URLs in Messages, and ask why Apple needs to continue to try to compare the iPad to a computer.

We cover animated GIFs, the reboot of Twitterrific, SoundSource, and wonder if Apple has missed the boat on original TV content.

We welcome Glenn Fleishman back to the show to talk about iOS and macOS developers soon being able to respond to reviews, Ian's hesitation to install smart light switches, and Glenn's new Kickstart project: Hands On: the Original Digital.

We chat about Apple's decreased software quality and our hopes for the future, including re-prioritizing things like thinness (a word Kirk hates) over battery life. Then Alexa and the King of Sweden completely derail us.

We welcome Andy Doe back to the show to talk about his year without a smartphone, including the benefits, limitations, and how he runs his consulting business without being "always on".
