Apple will hold WWDC 2021 online June 7 through June 11
Beats said:Finally!! FaceID on Macs!!InspiredCode said:I miss in-person WWDC, but this is how it needs to be moving forward. You can’t bring 22 million people to a non-virtual event.According to this 6000 people attended WWDC in 2018. Where are you seeing millions of people in past years ? I also thought it was invite only ? I don’t honestly know the process of attending.
I just never thought of it as an event that brought millions of people out in past years when they were non virtual? Maybe I am mistaken ? -
Cryptocurrency should be Apple's future financial gambit, analyst says
mark fearing said:Digital currencies are likely a fad where they are not being used for illegal maneuvers. To what degree they are legit - who knows. And they are going to come under way more scrutiny as time goes on for illegal use. I think it wise to steer clear until there is a clear path on how this grift plays out.Bitcoin Criminals Set to Spend $1 Billion on Dark Web This Year

YouTube cutting off third-gen Apple TV channel in March
Dogperson said:No prob. Just airplay from the iPod. Prefer the old remote. And concurrently play card games on the iPad. Apple tv still works, no plans to replace.

Apple reportedly dropping camera supplier O-Film after forced labor allegations

Did you miss the "forced labor" part? These aren't poor people being made to work long hours. These are an ethnically targeted group of people being rounded up, thrown into "re-education" camps, and sent off to work in factories against their will.IF it was really forced then you would be right.But I would not trust the the U.S. Dept of Commerce to tell me what color black is -- particularly when it comes to China. They, along with the Treasury Dept, have been the hub of implementing Trump's smear and hate campaign against China. And now, as their end nears, they are throwing as much fuel on the flames as they can.And, as we are seeing so clearly now with our election, these clowns rely on allegations rather than evidence to complete their mission: take down China.The U.S. Dept of Commerce is one of many U.S. government agencies that will need to be decontaminated and depoliticized.Right on cue another China Hater pops up from under his rock to condemn China for something Trump's shills have accused them of....When was the last time China put kids in cages, killed over 1/4 million of its citizens, encouraged and supported NeoNazis and gunned down unarmed black men? What was your defense back then? Oh yeh! Blame China!
Your total claims and life assumptions are totally unsupportable and incorrect.
And about the China forced labor of the Muslim groups. My wife regularly reads Japanese news through Twitter and regularly shows me news articles about this that have nothing to do with the US Govt or Trump. You really should seek counseling and help for your irrational Trump hatred and fears.The research is clear: White people are not more likely than Black people to be killed by police
Police Shootings: Black Americans Disproportionately Affected [Infographic]
https://www.forbes.com/sites/niallmccarthy/2020/05/28/police-shootings-black-americans-disproportionately-affected-infographic/?sh=41974ded59f7Number of people shot to death by the police in the United States from 2017 to 2020, by race
The rate of fatal police shootings among Black Americans was much higher than that for any other ethnicity, standing at 33 fatal shootings per million of the population as of November 2020.As a man of color I ask you to please open your eyes. Not all cops are bad and not all are profiling and targeting Black Americans and I don't agree with the Police defunding nutters, but your comment above regarding shootings is just plain wrong.My other half is doing a contact tracing and follow up study for the Dept of Health here in PA. The # 1 driving reason that black men don't want to wear masks during COVID even though they know it helps is fear of police while wearing a mask, and going out and about in public with a mask on for fear of reaction of other people or police. They are more inclined to wear N95's or those one use medical masks as opposed to Gators or anything made outside of the medical or professional industry. That is one of the saddest things I have ever heard.I do agree with George's irrational defense of China and anyone that defies his ideas is labeled a Trumper or brainwashed by Trump. I just posted about this a couple of days ago.

Apple One services bundles are now available
marktime said:Hardly a compelling offer. Instead of paying $29.93/month ala carte for Family Music, 2TB of iCloud storage, and Apple TV I can pay $29.95 for Apple One. Since I've never missed News and Games which would also come with Apple One there hardly seems any reason for me to subscribe.
