The Apple Worm

Imagine you put your hand in a fire, but this fire does not hurt, you can barely feel something warm from it. Meanwhile, you hand is melting off… Imagine instead of placing your hand into the fire, you were just close enough to only be burnt drastically if you stay there for a long enough time, and the person right beside you knew and did not tell you until it is too late and you were already going to lose your hand or maybe even worse… Radiation is a complex and horrific death process that is described in the HBO series Chernobyl Some of the greatest stories to be told in the history of the world are those that have been silenced or forgotten. Chernobyl is one of the best series I have had the pleasure of watching since Breaking Bad. Yeah I said it! It is a profound study of consequences in a horrific and truthful manner. Hundreds of thousands of people dead and a large majority of those were due to ignorance.  I think if there is something controversial about my opinion...

Apple is not a company build on maybe’s and should be’s, it did not go from underdog to industry leader with guessing and rushing. Apple is Apple because THEIR identity is defined, strong, and DRIVES them every day, product, keynote and update. Last week WWDC 2019 happened and we realized Apple listens, even when they make mistakes, even when they take more time than most wish… They are not your personal technology company. Why I open with that paragraph is simple: many or few years after people asked them Apple delivered and delivered BIG. Let me break down this statement to the specifics: watchOS 6: they listened to everyone asking for more and more independence of the watch with the App Store and the capability of apps to run locally leave the iPhone behind more every day. However, they also presented to us the HEALTH focus of this device. We never asked for it to save lives, to have an ECG, to help us become healthier and even to ask us if we are ok when we fall. But thos...

A man and his dog, a man and his car, a man and his wife… Those 3 storylines where given the Keanu Reeves treatment back in 2014 with the original John Wick movie that blew up and created a great gap of opportunity that he did not waste. In my opinion, his best trilogy and one of the most consistent action franchises out there (second to Mission Impossible of course) got its third installment called Parabellum and of course, I HAD to watch and review. The movie, AMAZING; the ending not as much. I believe the action sequences, the fighting choreography and the directness and simplicity of the plot add up to an amazing action experience that you have to enjoy in the movie theatre. This is NOT a movie best suited for the couch at home. The audiovisual experience of following the Baba Yaga as an “excommunicato” is worth every penny you pay. Keanu Reeves is a no-surprise amazing actor that gets dirty and gritty in his own Tom-Cruse-ian way, he cares about the product and you can...

So, endgame happened and it has been long enough to throw spoilers at the internet without being yelled at… I hope… SO SPOILER ALERT, this entry is going to talk in depth about 2 characters I really have wanted to ever since I saw the movie a third time. There is A LOT to analyze to this movie after investing over a decade into it. I usually write half a page of guide notes for my podcasts about movie reviews; however, for this one I have 5 pages of notes. I have been planning on how to split it up because as the web has been flooded with reviews, videos, articles, speculations, etc. So what do I have to add to this? Answer is simple: two words, Separate Breakdowns. I have taken my time to come up with distinct characters, points of view, and perspectives on this movie that truly is going to be remembered as a movie that marked a generation or two. I have been saying for quite a while that Civil War has my favorite character moments of the entire marvel universe (pre-Endgame...

Do you remember the power of your imagination? Being a kid able to create an entire universe inside of a box? Idolizing Superman and Batman while pretending to be Spiderman? It does not matter what your answer is, because in a world filled with comic book and superhero movie entertainment as great as we have today there HAS to be a differentiating factor between another DC movie and a GREAT DC movie. Especially when you take into account horrible mishaps like Suicide Squad, or amazing, successful accomplishments like Wonder Woman. What a wonderful, funny, entertaining and heartwarming movie Shazam is! Please go watch this movie with your family, significant others, friends and anyone who needs and/or likes to have a smile on their face throughout and after watching a movie. Please think about your childhood before going in to watch it. Think about the happiness of playing yourself tired on a bike, with a toy, or just a cape with which you imagined you could actually fly a...

Jordan Peele went from one spectrum of entertainment to the other: from comedy to horror/thriller movies. He decided to surprise the world with an “instant classic” called “Get Out” that was universally loved and made the expectations for all other movies by him to have a crazy high bar of quality and thematic complexity. So, I went to watch his next movie called “Us” with that public criticism in mind and personally trying to see it from a neutral point of view. I loved this movie for a completely different reason than why I loved “Get Out”. I believe they close to equal in quality even when they are nothing alike, if I HAD to choose one over the other I would choose “Get Out” but that means nothing against “Us”. And here are the reasons why this movie was amazing and why you should watch it with an open mind: Acting from a whole other level! Lupita Nyong’o, Shahadi Wright Joseph, Winston Duke and Evan Alex act like you have not seen in a loooong time (in that order from m...

So, here we are. Apple announced hardware via internet and called everyone in for services… Was the latter part of the presentation awkward? Yes. Could it have been planned in a more effective way? Probably. However, we got what we got and we must understand that Apple does not act without a plan. Here is my analysis of the true importance behind the event this past Monday: The Mac, the iPod, the MacBook Air, the iPhone, the iPad, the Apple Watch these are all attempts at products to drive the business. Some way more successful than others, they all have made what Apple is and will continue to be today. You see, there is a commonality amongst those products… They are not services. And THAT is exactly what Apple told the world on Monday: services are the future. Does this mean that it is THE END for iPhone, Apple Watch, etc. etc.? HELL NO! It means that the market is the market! And the iPhone is stagnating and decreasing in sales, the Mac, iPad and even Apple Watch cannot sus...
