But so far, these massively significant services are still mostly hanging out quietly in the background.Īndrew Sullivan on the current state of The Dish fundraising: ICloud is the glue that ties all our devices together. If you want to know whether Apple’s going to continue its remarkable growth in the next five or more years, there’s two things you need to look at: Siri and iCloud. Show that it’s not just for hands-free text messaging anymore.
#PDFPENPRO 7 REVIEW MOVIE#
Looking up movie times is neat, but then being sent to the Fandango app to actually purchase them is less than magical. Second, tying in the credit card we have associated with our Apple ID and using that to purchase things like movie tickets, plane tickets, and more. For example: imagine asking Siri to create a new OmniFocus task and setting the project, context, start, and due dates without ever being launched into OmniFocus?
The first is a public API so 3rd-party apps can tie into Siri just like the calendar and text messaging apps already do. I think of three significant benchmarks that will signal a more serious move for Apple regarding the future of Siri: But how will we know Apple has moved Siri beyond a way for hands-free texting and event creation and into something iPhone owners have just got to have? No doubt we’ll get a preview and song and dance about new functionality in Siri as well. I still believe that many of Apple’s most exciting and ambitious plans for the future are centered around iCloud and Siri.
Honestly, would you expect Apple to say anything else?īut how are we going to know Apple has finally fixed iCloud syncing for developers and is really serious this time?

Now, Nate is a software developer living in Colorado while currently commuting to San Francisco every week bless his soul.
When he and I were 14 we tried to start a comic book company - our drawing skills were pathetic, and my dad was our first and only customer. Nate is 29 days younger than I and was the best man in my wedding. In the past, when I’ve gone on vacations or spent holidays with the family, I still try to spend at least a little bit of time every day working to keep the site updated.īut for this year’s vacation, I am unplugging from all my inboxes and publishing responsibilities and leaving the writing to someone else.įriends, I’m pleased to introduce you to my cousin, Nate Spears, who has agreed to step in as the first-ever guest writer for the week. I don’t know if it’s like this for others, but for me, taking time off is one of the biggest challenges I face as a self-employed person. By the time you read this, my laptop lid will be closed and my iPhone’s push notifications turned off for the week.
