'Total War: Pharaoh' transports gamers to the Bronze Age on macOS
Based on a quick web search, the Hittite empire appears to be the current territory of Turkey+Syria+Lebanon, while Canaan was the current territory of Israel+Lebanon. I hope there are no Hittites or Canaanites here who are offended by this approximation. -

Apple to open first Brooklyn retail store on July 30
The new Apple site is right across the street from a company that congress wrote and published just ten days ago as having been a front for criminal activity, specifically doing business with a handful of sanctioned countries and laundering drug money. http://financialservices.house.gov/uploadedfiles/07072016_oi_tbtj_sr.pdf It says in this report that Eric Holder personally stated to congress in March 6, 2013 that he wouldn't prosecute them for money laundering because that could throw the world economy into a tailspin. To be fair, the criminal events were 10-20 years ago, and the company paid record fines, and may have stopped laundering drug and rogue nations' money now, but nobody was held personally accountable for the criminal activity. The top levels of the DOJ (as opposed to the lower levels, including Loretta Lynch at the time) didn't want to prosecute criminals if doing so would put the US economy into recession. My only source of information to this story is a bit of googling; I'm not an authority on this topic. It just seems interesting, if not relevant to Apple, other than being across the street from this company, which I won't name here: just read the link above to learn more. I only suggest that you read the Executive Summary, one page long, starting on page one. Curiously it was Loretta Lynch (who was at the time a lower level DOJ employee) who brought the criminal charges against the company, but now that she succeeded Holder as head of DOJ, she isn't doing much with those charges now. Perhaps she now agree with holder's public statement to congress that some banks "are so large that it is very difficult to make a decision to prosecute them". And to show that I'm not biased here, I will point out that Holder later said that quote, while accurate, was misconstrued. He re-explained his words to congress: that when he said "difficult" he meant that the difficulty was that it would be a decision that would impact innocent people (the bank's clients and stockholders?) but that he actually would charge them. Personally, I think that's a non-credible explanation. I believe his words of March 6th in which he said that he didn't like prosecuting crime in big banks if it would hurt the economy. Is that really his call? Isn't his mandate to prosecute criminals?

The title suggests that we with a TV v2 might be lucky/compatible. But we aren't. I think the article could have been clearer; the referred link from Apple was clearer. -
