I wonder if it occurred to the NY Times's photographer that the Apple Watch can't measure your health data if it's worn (a) over two layers of clothing, and (b) on your ankle.
I made a trailer for my LA bookstore visit next week (Monday, 6/22)! Come on by! Ticket price includes an autographed copy (and a photo, if you want). stores.barnesandnoble.com/event/978006...
My new “Pogue’s Posts” column: Google's AI Overviews are mandatory. They're wrong 28% of the time, and they consume enormous amounts of power, but you can't turn them off. Meet the woman who's fighting Big Tech to make those AI features optional. pogueman.substack.com/p/rise-up-pe...

Ugh, I know. Makes me furious. I supplied an Illustrator file for that graphic... the layout people should have known!
Thrilling news in Pogueland: "Apple: The First 50 Years" is a NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER!!! And Amazon, and USA Today! (And minus celebrity memoirs, it would be Number 1!) Thank you to everyone who's supported this journey!
