An Apple A Day Keeps The Doctor Away

Anyone who is a creator on any media platform, be it social media, podcasting, tutorials, documentaries, or full length feature films, you are most likely using an Apple Mac.

Right now, as I place this note into my Substack, I’m using Sequoia 15.7.7

I’ve got an older M1 MacBook Pro, an entry level model running the latest version of Tahoe. Now, if you are like me, it’s not just the hardware, it is the software.

I love Substack because I understand the “interface,” and the “platform.” Just like Substack, I understand Sequoia really well.

I’d love to be on an M5 Mac and right now I’m on an M3 MacBook Air because I want Apple to fix their operating system.

My iPhone 16 Pro Max is currently running iOS 26.6

Hopefully, fingers crossed Apple will fix the iOS in version 27.0

Here is my prediction: Everyone will absolutely love 27.01, yeah, never get the release, wait for the first “fix,” and then everyone will say, “Why didn’t they do this in Tahoe?”

Afterwards? Apple will do what it always does; it will think that its user base will want more changes and then start “mucking” with the interface!

Apple Is Getting A.i. Right!

Apple’s strategy in 2026 is absolutely brilliant. What is it? Well, it is this: You can turn off Siri and Turn Off A.i. and this is beautiful!

The Dark Side Of Apple

The one item that no one talks about is that there are too many additional prompts used for both Tahoe and for the iOS. What happened? Well, someone drank way too much Coffee Expresso’s in marketing, so I’d leave it alone. The next version will be out soon.

A New Mac

Apple has a bunch of new Mac’s coming out and if you can wait and buy it with Golden Gate pre-installed, you will be super happy.

Okay, that’s my pontification on a Monday morning here in Southern California. Hey, if the big one doesn’t hit Southern California, I’ll be back at the keyboard tomorrow with more insights.

Make it a great day!

The Technology Is Moving Fast In 2026

We are living in extraordinary times where the technology is moving so quickly. The audio presentation above is meant for “research purposes only.”

Below I have placed an article that is referenced in the audio presentation.

Ultrasound-based pacemaker noninvasively steadies the heart

The new design could offer a surgery-free alternative to traditional cardiac implants.

MIT engineers have developed a noninvasive pacemaker that stimulates the heart using ultrasound. The design could one day provide a surgery-free alternative to traditional cardiac implants.

The new device is designed as a small sticker that can be worn on the chest. Tiny transducers on the sticker send ultrasound pulses through the chest to stimulate the heart. The ultrasound waves trigger the opening of certain ion channels in heart cells, an effect the researchers amplified through genetic engineering. When the channels open, they let in calcium, which signals a heart cell to squeeze and beat.

In experiments in the lab, the researchers applied ultrasound waves to engineered human cardiac cells and found that the pulses effectively maintained the cells’ healthy contractions. They also tested the ultrasound sticker on rats and found the device quickly, safely, and noninvasively corrected arrhythmias and restored normal, regular heart contractions.
