Starlink Direct to iPhone?

The Starlink Internet service needs some sort of receiver. Combined this news with the recent speculation of a SpaceX - Apple partnership makes you wonder if the next models of iPhones will have that receiver built in and allow for native Internet, voice, and texting via Starlink. Take you phone anywhere and still get a signal. That would be a big selling feature. (Photo via)

EDIT: Elon Musk says this report is fake news. Too bad - a guy can dream of a better iPhone though.

Linky Links

Stuff I found interesting and thought I'd share.

- Bill Belichick from a Jets' fan point of view.

- The Free Press on the Death of Old Europe. They could have called this the people are finally waking up.

- About that iPhone security "flaw"

- Morgan Housel on Frugal vs Independent. Most wise men I've read about all say that the advent of wisdom is living below your means and being happy to do so.

Nokia and the Smartphone


"In 2004, a handful of excited Nokia engineers created a new kind of phone: Internet ready, with a big color touchscreen display and a high-resolution camera. They proposed another crazy idea to go along with the phone: an online app store. The leadership team - the same widely admired, cover-story leadership team - shot down both projects. Three years later, the engineers saw their crazy ideas materialize on a stage in San Francisco. Steve Jobs unveiled the iPhone. Five years later, Nokia was irrelevant."  - Safi Bahcall Loonshots

Flotsam and Jetsam

Miscellaneous thoughts and observations.

"Not now Gisele - I have a concussion!" Come on - who among us hasn't used that excuse to get out of sex with a supermodel?... George W just wants to say "hey!"... My iPhone has started identifying some unknown calls as "Scam Likely" which I love! Also Scam Likely was my porn name... It's been 25-years since Larry Bird last played for the Celtics. Damn I feel old... Such a great time waster... If you think of it Sam and Frodo basically through-hiked the distance of the Appalachian Trail to get the ring from the Shire to Mount Doom...
