Apple's iCloud key in takedown of notorious Russian botnet operator
Two things:
1) They probably tracked him by watching his name on airline reservation lists, I doubt he drove to spain.
2) I always read about these mega-spammer being taken down but never a decrease in the amount of spam I get. Must just be a vicious vacuum that is constantly filled when a void occurs.

Apple Southlake Town Square in Dallas-Fort Worth joins US stores closing for renovations
Hmm, the Southlake store is the one I always go to and it already was all wood and large displays. There is usually a line there, so am hoping they are expanding the footprint and adding more Geniuses. -
Apple HomePod vs. Google Home Max: Which high-end smart speaker is right for you?
Most important will be what ecosystem you have. If you have all Apple devices (phones, watches, TV) then Google isn't the best fit for you and vice-versa.
I'm sure both will meet the needs of the average homeowner and will be tailored to whatever peripherals you have. -
iPhone owners will be able to disable CPU throttling in future iOS version, Cook says
Can we get Admin Mike Wuerthele and everyone else who was here and speaking down to those of us asking for a switch to disable the throttling just over a week ago back to admit they don't know up from down when it comes to what Apple will do? I, and others, mentioned on the 10th that Apple should allow a switch and many of us were told that it was impossible and Apple won't do it. .
Well, here we are.Mike Wuerthele said:One more time on the switch.
1) The throttling isn't permanent. It's only in-place during the active low-voltage situation.
2) A crash because of a low-voltage condition in the middle of a write can "brick" the device, leading to a DFU reset and restore through iTunes to bring the device back to life.
There won't be a toggle for it. There can't be a toggle for it, because of point two. I get that "we" meaning AI readers, know how to do a DFU -- but does Joe Public?
