He previously served on the boards of Getable, Rafter, ReadyForce.
Heard him tell a great story about how he flew to Blockbuster’s corporate headquarters on short notice and gave them the plan to dominate the industry and they laughed him out of the room.

9to5Mac: Apple discontinues iPhone 13 following iPhone 16 launch
Following the launch of the iPhone 16 lineup, Apple has now discontinued one of the oldest iPhones at the bottom of their lineup, barring the iPhone SE, which should get its refresh in the spring.
The iPhone lineup now consists of the following models, each serving a unique position in the pricing ladder:
- iPhone SE 3 – $429
- iPhone 14 – $599
- iPhone 14 Plus – $699
- iPhone 15 – $699
- iPhone 15 Plus – $799
- iPhone 16 – $799
- iPhone 16 Plus – $899
- iPhone 16 Pro – $999
- iPhone 16 Pro Max – $1199
This now means the majority of Apple’s iPhone lineup comes with USB-C.
I think Apple may have finally priced itself out of my interest range.
While Apple is still lagging far, far behind the geniuses at Teenage Engineering who know how to employ buttons and knobs to astonishing effect, at least Apple’s hardware isn’t going even further down the path of EVs like Tesla’s, replacing perfectly useful tactile functions that were once on a knob to touch screens you have to take your eyes off the road just to use. I guess we should be thankful there’s no Full Self-Driving upsell package for the iPhone. Let’s enjoy Apple’s new button era while we can.
9to5mac: Apple Watch Series 10 vs. Ultra 2 battery life: Here’s the key difference
By contrast, the Apple Watch Ultra 2 remains the king of battery life.
Here are Apple’s estimates, which users often say are conservative:
- Normal use: up to 36 hours
- Low Power Mode: up to 72 hours
The only battery-related area where the Ultra comes up short of the Series 10 is in fast charging. It takes about 1 hour to fast charge from 0-80%. But that’s understandable considering the larger battery size.
