- Apple TV+ scores record Emmy noms
Apple TV+ continues to impress.
The upstart streaming service just earned an impressive 72 Emmy nominations.
When ranked by the number of Emmy nominations per platform, Apple TV+ is in the #4 position, trailing Netflix (107), FX (93) and HBO/Max (91).
The noms come for 16 different shows, including The Morning Show, Palm Royale, Lessons in Chemistry, Slow Horses, Loot, Hijack and more.
I’ve checked out perhaps half these shows. I hated some (Sugar), but loved others (Slow Horses — until it jumped the shark this last season).
Looking over this list on nominations, it looks like a good guide for shows to check out next.
Also in today’s newsletter:
A pair of Beats executives gave an interesting interview about how and why the new Beats Pill has redesigned and what makes it special.
Apple, Nvidia and other tech giants got into hot water for allegedly secretly scraping thousands of YouTube videos to train their AIs: Apple denies it.
There are still plenty of hangover Amazon Prime Day deals to be had — and some are even better than before. For example, Thursday’s deal on the Apple Pencil Pro is 15% off rather than 8% off.
Afirstsoft’s PDF app makes working with documents a breeze across macOS, iOS and other platforms.
This clever case turns your Apple Watch into a pseudo iPod with a working scroll wheel.

One more thing ...
If [people] are working in an environment where excellence is expected, then they will do excellent work without anything but self-motivation. I'm talking about an environment in which excellence is noticed and respected and is in the culture. If you have that, you don't have to tell people to do excellent work. They understand it from their surroundings.
