Hey all! Pardon the crummy photo, but I just got back to the lair, and the AirPods Max knock-offs just arrived! However, they are not from the "ProPods" people I've been talking to lately. They blocked me on Twitter… then unblocked me… and then their Twitter disappeared?
Either way, I still have some fun plans for this fol...

Hey all! Early access for my next scam-buster is out! If you've seen the MultiVoltz episode, you may notice some similarities with the product itself, but this brand goes MUCH deeper than that. Personally, this is one of my favorite scam-bustings I've ever done. There's plenty of good DeTechtive moments

Hey all! Enjoy the early access!
Apple recently made Mac OS X Lion free for all Mac users, so I thought we'd go on a nostalgia trip! Little did I know that this "simple" project would be PLAGUED with problems.

iPods, iPhones, iPads… Apple’s lowercase “i” moniker is ubiquitous today—everybody knows what it means. But it all started with the release of Apple’s first iProduct in 1998—the iMac.

Hey all! 2 quick things I wanted to talk about today…
First, I just wrapped filming of my next scam-buster episode! It's a juicy follow-up to the never-ending "Blaux" saga. I'll give you guys early access as soon as possible!
Second thing, the banners for my Vintage Computer Festival booth arrived! They are HUGE. (Don't worry, I bought two sizes; you can't be too careful).

Hey guys. I've been DYING to share this project, but now it's finally time!
I have acquired one of the world's rarest Apple iMacs (if not THE world's rarest iMac). It is a prototype model of the original, Revision A iMac G3; I've only ever seen one in existence, and this is it!
I have multiple plans for this rare computer. I especially want to display it at my booth at Vintage Computer Festival Midwest,<...

Hey all! I plan to attend Vintage Computer Festival Midwest (aka VCFMW) this year in Elmhurst, IL. As you might remember, I attended last time, and it was a blast! Other tech creators (e.g. The 8-Bit Guy, and LGR) have attended, too.
But last time, I went as an attendee. This year, I'm going as an exhibitor! I will host a booth where people can play with part of my rare-and-retro tech ...
2021-07-06 22:18:08 +0000 UTC View PostHi! I know I haven’t posted much Insider-exclusive stuff recently. Due to the rushing of projects (like my Windows 11 stuff) it’s challenging to make Patreon content, due to how fast I have to move.
However, more is coming soon… PLUS, I’m working on some plans for a first-ever Computer Clan / Krazy Ken meet-and-greet at Vintage Computer Festival Midwest!
Stay tuned… 😉

In 1997, Apple’s website went dark for 24 hours, and it showed a picture of a chocolate chip cookie, a shopping cart, and a screwdriver. What could this possibly mean? Was it a hint for a new product? Let’s find out.

If Apple burned down your house, and built you an epic mansion with tons of cool stuff, that'd be pretty cool, right? Wait, no… YOU BURNED DOWN MY HOUSE?! In a nutshell, that's how many passionate, invested Final Cut Pro users felt when Apple rewrote the program for version 10.0, and killed support for version 7.0.
Despite new innovations in the software update, many users felt betrayed or abandoned when Apple initiated this harsh transition. Today, on the 10th annive...

This is a big one… thousands of passionate Apple users eagerly watched Steve Jobs walk on stage and tell the world how Apple is going to get healthy again, and at the end, he drops a bombshell announcement which resulted in lots of booing from the audience, but in the end, was it all for the better?

How cool would it be to go up to a microphone and ask Steve Jobs a question directly? Well, that’s what happened at World Wide Developers Conference 1997, where Steve Jobs answers questions about Apple’s future, including: the death of OpenDoc, the Newton, Rhapsody, how to write apps 5 times faster, and more.

Hey all! I'm working on a special Krazy Ken's Tech Talk episode which will take you through the history of Apple's famous iMac (from the original all the way to the latest 2021 model).
I was originally thinking I could get this out on Tuesday because I wanted to get it out earlier to ride the "new iMac" trend, but I'm not 100% I can do that yet (so it might be my regular Thursday date). Why? Simply because the filming requirements for this episode are INSANE.

Hey all! I'm working on a "Evolution of iMac" episode, and yes, it will feature the new 2021 iMac (it just isn't in the lair yet). I just wrapped my first day of shooting, but there's still 2 more to do. This is gonna be one helluva episode!
Stay tuned for more. The new iMac will arrive soon. I plan to launch the episode on May 25, and I'll give you guys early access ASAP! Stay tuned.

In 1997, Apple was nearing insolvency, and their share price was below 20 cents (on a split-adjusted basis). They needed a rescue, but not just any rescue… a Steve Jobs rescue! Today, Krazy Ken and Brad discuss the Macworld keynote where Steve Jobs unveils the underpinnings of Apple's next-gen operating system, and we recap the genesis of the famous "Think Different" campaign.
Show Notes, Transcription, and More:
With a valuation of over 2 trillion dollars, and a world-wide iconic brand, Apple is arguably the most successful and influential company in history. However, the early days of the Macintosh were rough, and Steve Jobs left the company when the Mac was merely a year old. Today, Krazy Ken and Brad recap some of the earliest Apple keynotes, including the Macintosh's first public demo at the Flint Center on January 24, 1984.
