So I spent some time at Shibuya Crossing in Tokyo today. It is supposed to be the busiest intersection in the world. Each time the walk signs turn green, a ton of people cross from all directions and fill the street,. I had to take some video of that.Of course I was just there with my iPhone 7 plus and nothing like a tripod. I just held the phone up and tried to be as steady as I could. But the result was still shaky. So here is a test I did in iMovie on my Mac afterwards. First, I sped up the video 4X since it takes a full minute to see the crossing. And the speed makes it look more exciting. Then, I copied and pasted it so it repeated. The first time is normal, but the second time I applied iMovie's image stabilization at 100%. It doesn't get rid of the movement completely, but it does smooth it out. It makes it easier to watch, I think.

Apple has a new iOS app called Clips. It is kind of like a social media video sharing app, but without the social network.

See how you can use Numbers to work with basic physics problems like orbital calculations. In this example a table is use to calculate the position of a satellite over time. A scatter chart is then used to show the position of the satellite and a line chart to show the altitude.
