I’ve a good idea why Fox News has made the update their lead story: distract from Weisselberg flipping and getting a very light sentence for pleading guilty to 15 felonies. Maybe the story will push some people to Android, too, where they can be tracked and monetized better.

Update: the security update has been pushed into second place by a critical story about transgender students.

It was a major news story on a number of networks such as ABC.

One wonders how it comes to be that a typical security update from Apple becomes the big story. All the owners and editors get together and decide the next day's content, and what not to cover? Or maybe it's the advertisers? 

And this security flaw seems to have been around for some time but discovered only recently. 

I must be one of the vast majority of users who see ads as intrusive. I'm sure only a very small minority of users will buy what they're selling. 

Why advertisers advertise is beyond me -- they do nothing but piss me off for making my attempt to read content difficult if not impossible. 

If I were the writer of content, I would be none-to-pleased to have my cogent remarks interrupted by ads. On the other hand, if I get paid by the word, regardless of what crap put out, then these ads are what pays my bills. 

So, Apple placing ads in Apple Maps turns Maps content into a mere vehicle for placing advertising.

From what I’ve gathered, Apple Silicon has a lot of non-public documented features, if you will, which makes porting OS to it difficult. 

Foxconn bought manufacturing contractor Lordstown Motors. Do Foxconn and Apple know something we don't?

No steering wheel? Sure.

Apple car delivery date? year 2150.
