Intel to shutter New Devices Group, disband team behind AR smart glasses
Even if you don't like the Watch as a product, it's fun to observe how much more they can squeeze in to each generation. It's a good barometer for the state of miniaturisation and power efficiency.

Mark Zuckerberg was ready to pounce on Apple's data practices at Senate hearing
Apple should remove the Facebook integration from their products, say they're doing it out of privacy concerns. -
Eight Siri features we want to see in iOS 12, macOS 10.14, watchOS 5, and tvOS 12 at WWDC ...
Some good ideas there!I would like to see it answer to "Computer?" instead of "Hey Siri!" I was taught growing up that yelling "Hey!" was rude. And using the brand name all the time ("Siri") makes me feel like a shill. One of the rules of product design is to make the customer feel good, but this product makes me feel bad before I've even stated my query.

Apple now runs on 100 percent renewable energy
It's not necessarily true that the Earth will one day be destroyed by the Sun, we might have the technology to move it by then.

Apple modular Mac Pro launch coming in 2019, new engineering group formed to guarantee fut...
It's not like Jony Ive has remained changeless over the years. He seems to have lost his way with the obsessive thin design and minimalism BS. Clearly Apple lost their way with GUI design some time in 2013...Steve Jobs was a famous minimalist. I remember reading in a biography that when people visited his house there would be nowhere to sit because entire rooms would have only one item of furniture (not sure if that's just urban legend or not).And yet when he came back to Apple, and decided to trim down the product line, even he did not trim it down to only one computer, he created a grid of 4 computers. If the consumate minimalist didn't trim it down to one computer, he must have seen some fundamental differences between "pro" and "consumer" (which was one axis on his grid) and "desktop" and "laptop" which was the other axis.
