Holy crap these lessons are so frickin awesome! $4.99 was already an amazing bargain. I hope they make more. Production costs, between the song rights and the artist's time and participation, must be astronomical. Thanks Apple!

Let's just get a little perspective shall we. I bought ZBrush 1.13 in 1998 I'm currently downloading ZBrush 2018 20 years later. Some software companies like Literature and Latte make the most minuscule of tweaks and then force you to rebuy the software. Pixologic on the other hand have made every single update completely free for the entire 20 year period, and allow installation on two computers. Also note that at the beginning Pixologic was a tiny boutique company. They never advertised free updates for life and indeed only guaranteed that for the next update, but it's been going on for 20 years.

While it's nice to get these lessons for free, let's not weep too many tears of joy at the generosity of Apple.

For home theatre you don't really need 5.1 but you definitely need a good quality subwoofer by good quality I mean one that isn't flabby. So unless apple is going to add a dedicated HomePod subwoofer, it will never be anything special for watching movies at home. Mind you if Apple made an 8" HomePod subwoofer (I can't see them making a 10") to work with two Homepods then they could do their magic and send the low sounds now produced by the 4" to the 8" sub thus freeing up headroom which would probably be a very awesome 3.1 set up.

Er, so you would have something to hide then.

We’ll never know the truth about backdoors because they usually come with gag orders.

This is not a divorce settlement, if there was a backdoor that information would be leaked, with 100% certainty.

Do not underestimate Apple, if they put their mind to it they probably could innovate your ass.
