Josef Adalian for Vulture:

Community lives! Internet giant Yahoo, which made it clear last spring that it wanted to jump into the same original programming waters as Netflix, Amazon, and Hulu, has struck a deal with producer Sony Pictures Television to stream a 13-episode, sixth, and almost certainly final season of the Dan Harmon comedy.

Yahoo has a streaming video service? Who knew? Well, whatever. I’d watch season 6 of Community on an ATM screen if I had to.

William Hughes at A.V. Club:

Scientists at Facebook have published a paper showing that they manipulated the content seen by more than 600,000 users in an attempt to determine whether this would affect their emotional state.

Can’t wait until they combine that with Oculus Rift. Dystopian science fiction films are going to have to turn things up a notch.

Jim Dalrymple writing at the Loop:

Apple introduced a new Photos app during its Worldwide Developers Conference that will become the new platform for the company. As part of the transition, Apple told me today that they will no longer be developing its professional photography application, Aperture.

Hopefully this is a move for the better. Both iPhoto and Aperture libraries will migrate to Photos.

[Originally I wondered what would happen if you had both but they use the same database.]

Dan Frommer:

While it’s impressive how small today’s computers can get, Google and its partners have still failed to demonstrate truly compelling use cases—let alone “rich user experiences”—that will create a mass market for $200+ smartwatches.

That was my reaction. I saw not one really compelling reason why I would strap one of these ungainly large devices on my wrist.

I feel like much of this “iWatch” pressure analysts and pundits and even their competition are attempting to put on Apple is to get them to enter this market and do the hard work of defining what these devices are really for. It remains to be seen if Apple can make something out of this or even wants to. Until then, though, these $230 tuna and sardine cans with screens constantly beeping messages at us don’t offer anything of worth.

In a series of tweets from the Glass session at Google I/O, Owen Williams details the state of limbo it’s in.

This isn’t a good sign for Glass; so far we’ve spent the session reiterating everything these developers already know. #io14

I’m sure this won’t stop pundits from holding Glass up as one of the signs of how Google’s more innovative now than Apple. Apple could have any number of projects that are equally stalled, of course. They’re just not stalled in plain sight.

The Verge on why Google I/O was interrupted by two protesters:

Both protesters were part of local tenants’ rights activist groups, Eviction Free San Francisco and the Anti Eviction Mapping Project.

…

“You need to develop a conscience, Google,” [3rd grade teacher Claudia] Tirado yelled while holding up a T-shirt urging people to stop Google’s lawyer Jack Halprin. Halprin owns the seven-unit Victoria building where Tirado and her family live, and is reportedly trying to evict them using a controversial piece of California legislation called the Ellis Act to take the entire building off the rental market and evict rent-controlled tenants.

San Francisco’s housing problem is not, of course, entirely Google’s fault. High-paid employees of Apple and many other companies are also driving prices up. Although, this lawyer kind of helps seal the deal for Google as the poster child. And then the “don’t be evil” jokes just write themselves.

Episode 24 of Turning This Car Around looks at Father’s Day.

I only briefly touched on privacy in my piece on Apple earlier in the week but Rich Mogull goes into the details in a piece that nicely dovetails with mine.

If you couldn’t sit through all 48 hours and 28 protests of Google I/O (slight exaggeration), the Verge sums up the top 17 things you need to know.

Macworld:

Under the hood, the price-versus-power choices become apparent. In fact, the new low-end iMac’s internal specifications have more in common with the latest MacBook Airs than with the rest of the iMac family.

This is how you sell a lower-priced iMac without cannibalizing your existing products. This isn’t a device I’d want. That’s actually the idea. It’s not for me.
