You're listening to Hypercritical, a weekly talk show ruminating on exactly what is wrong in the world of Apple, related technologies and businesses.

Nobody's safe from my co-host John Syracuse.

I'm Dan Benjamin.

This is episode number 24,

and we would just like to quickly thank Field Notes brand.com

as well as I-stock photo,

for making this show possum.

More on them as we continue.

Let's get started.

So what's up, how are you doing this week?

I'm tired. I'm busy.

You're very busy.

You're working very hard on your lion extravaganza. Which when does that come out? Lion It's the 19th. I heard last night. Fourteenth is the new day they're throwing around.

Yep, I mean, I'm just trying to get it done ASAP. I'm not really worried about the date because

the date is not going to make me do it any faster. It's got to get done. Just as soon as it's

done, it'll be done. Yeah, and I hope I'm done before the release date, but if I'm not,

I'm not. Now you've got to get done you can't you can't be like that I'm working every possible

I'm working every possible waking moment you know in traditionally I haven't always It's got to be done. Yeah.

And traditionally, I haven't always been ready day and date.

Sometimes for the older reviews, I was a week or two behind.

It was only recently that I started having the review ready on the day of the release, so.

It seems unthinkable to me that you would be late on this.
