The advertised clock speed with all 8 cores isn't 2.4 GHz though. According to Notebookcheck, it's actually 4.2 GHz.

I read that slightly differently: "Integrates eight processor cores clocked at 2.4 - 5 GHz (4.2 GHz with 8 cores)". I read that as base speed is 2.4 GHz, and can go to 5GHz for a single core, or 4.2 GHz for 8 cores.

Further info about the CPU:  The processor clocks at between 2.4 - 5 GHz and can execute up to sixteen threads simultaneously thanks to Hyper-Threading. The 5 GHz can only be reached using the "Thermal Velocity Boost" which allows one core to boost to 5 GHz (+200 MHz) as long as the CPU temperature is below 50°C. Multiple cores can be boosted +100 MHz below 50°C (not verified). 

Sounds like heat is a real issue with this CPU. And all the other Intel CPUs.

Apple Music needs work in its GUI.
The services are largely interchangeable, the best GUI and value for money will win.

What's wrong with the GUI? I can find nothing to complain about.

It's just not very good. So much is missing. When I listen to music on Apple music, I'd like to see a bio of the artist. Some have it, many don't. Searching for music doesn't seem to be able to gloss over misspellings or alternative spellings - this is basic stuff that Google solved decades ago in search. Sharing playlists seems like an afterthought whereas with Spotify it's front and centre. I could go on, but suffice to say that the GUI experience with Apple Music seems very flat, and the world has moved on from that.

Silly question. The A$20 000 one of course. Hang on my wife wants to speak to me... No, turns out I was wrong. The correct answer is "None of them. Use the 5k iMac you bought less than 6 months ago you blithering idiot."

Yeah and Joe-schmo blasting away with a gun at a coffee shop is more likely to kill innocent people than the perpetrators.

Name one instance where the good guy with the gun who stopped a criminal ended up killing innocent bystanders.

More training needed...

My favourite 'only in America' videos are when the cops are chasing someone down the highway, and the cop driving shoots through his own windshield in order to get some shots off in the direction of the suspect. They always seem to be in LA.

Samsung: Apple's going to use 3 cameras? Screw four. We're going to 5 cameras."

Employees who work for a private sector company serve at the will of the employer. That employer can terminate any employee not covered by a labor contract or union representation, at any time, for any reason, or for no reason.

Like it or not, the employee has no recourse in this case.

Is this the case in California? Does she not have a contract? Would Apple really terminate her when it was clearly a case of a manager overstepping their boundaries just to cover for themselves? Employe retention has been difficult for many companies in the tech industry so it's not exactly the right time to be sacking someone just because a middle manager got spooked.

Bad timing on Gallagher's part. The very same day, USPTO denied her application for trademarks on "Queen of Christmas."

Yes, so she is the "Queen of Christmas", and not "The Queen of Christmas™".

Alternatively...

Russia plans to get bags of hard currency by fining Apple over something something something.
