The Last Days of Ptolemy Grey is 🔥
The Last Days of Ptolemy Grey is one of the best things to air on Apple TV+, according to our reviewer.
Starring the great Samuel L Jackson, Ptolemy Grey is a whodunnit with a great cast and great writing.
It’s a passion project for Jackson, who executive produced and stars in the show.
The Last Days of Ptolemy Grey is, for the most part, up there with the best of his work.
He gives Ptolemy’s tics and confusion real verve and pathos. You feel for him, yes. But more than that, you understand precisely what he’s going through because Jackson plays the character so magnificently, articulating every bit of a journey few of us will ever live to understand.
I know what I’ll be watching this weekend.

Apple TV+ made an incredibly smart move picking up The Last Days of Ptolemy Grey, based on the book of the same name by legendary writer Walter Mosley. Directed by Ramin Bahrani, adapted by Mosley himself, and starring a searing Samuel L. Jackson, this is one of the best things to air on Apple TV+ so far.
The Apple Store is live again after several hours of downtime on Friday morning, and that can only mean one thing.

All three devices are scheduled to make their official debuts one week from today.
Call of Duty: Warzone, the immensely popular battle royale game, is coming to mobile devices. Activision this week confirmed it is looking for engineers, designers, and more to help bring the “all-new, AAA mobile experience” to life.

Apple’s next major refresh for Mac mini may not come until 2023, according to the latest claims from one analyst, who has proven reliable in the past.
For years, Apple seemingly worked to finish off the old USB-A and HDMI formats, as well as the SD card reader. It quit building them into most of its products, replacing them all with smaller USB-C ports. But that campaign appears to have stopped… at least for now.
Orbitkey offers a pair of AirTag holders that make it easy to attach Apple’s tracking tag to your keys or purse. The Slim Case has a minimalistic design, while the Leather Holder wraps the AirTag in a stylish sleeve. I used both holders to see how they stood up to real-world use.

“You know, my philosophy is--it's always been very simple. And it has its flaws, which I'll go into. My philosophy is that everything starts with a great product. So, you know, I obviously believed in listening to customers, but customers can't tell you about the next breakthrough that's going to happen next year that's going to change the whole industry. So you have to listen very carefully. But then you have to go and sort of stow away--you have to go hide away with people that really understand the technology, but also really care about the customers, and dream up this next breakthrough. And that's my perspective, that everything starts with a great product. And that has its flaws. I have certainly been accused of not listening to the customers enough. And I think there is probably a certain amount of that that's valid.” — Steve Jobs.
