Rumor: Apple will finally bring Siri to Mac with this year's OS X 10.12
Does this mean we're going to see some big Siri improvements announced at WWDC?

Apple Pencil UI navigation functions to return in next iOS 9.3 beta, Apple says
Oh good grief, the pencil comes with an adapter for charging. But you what? I've never used it because it's so much easier to just stick it in the iPad to charge. It only takes a few minutes. As far as the mouse goes, it's a freaking wireless mouse!! It's not supposed to be used while charging! Also in the time it takes someone to get coffee the thing is charged for the day. A 2 hour charge gives you a months use. Such a stupid non-issue.dacloo said:The pen has such a stupid design. The charging for example is done by sticking your pen in the back of a charging device. A white stick, sticking out like that, it's so unapple. Easy to break, it looks corny.
And the cap gets lost easily (plus it doesn't work as a gum).
You'd expect some sort of wireless conductive charging going on, something smart.
Not that long ago, Apple used not to accept 'good', only 'great'.
Same for the Magic Mouse. After all these years, the only improvements they've came up with is a charger at the bottom instead of the back. Really?

Apple Pencil UI navigation functions to return in next iOS 9.3 beta, Apple says
A poster on macrumors who says he has friends who work at Apple said the functionality was always coming back. Not sure why it didn't make the release notes. But as I said it makes no sense for them to add the functionality in the first place if they are opposed to it on principle.foggyhill said:
I do think that it got removed in the beta, and only then, because they underestimated how much people were using it.rogifan_old said:What why would Apple have added it in the first place if they didn't want people using the Pencil for UI navigation? are you supposed to believe that functionality was never intended but some how slipped out? I don't buy it. It's entirely possible that Apple didn't know so many pencil users were using it for UI navigation and didn't think many would notice the missing functionality in the beta.
If working on the function makes the rest of the beta unusable, it makes sense to remove it temporarily.

If this move was temporary and Apple had always intended to restore UI navigation for the Pencil in the final version, then the release notes for the beta should have included this as a "known issue" along with a statement that it will be corrected. I think that in this instance, Apple was trying to see if they could get away with removing the feature entirely, but too many people complained.AppleInsider said:
Apple said it temporarily removed Pencil's ability to act as a finger replacement as it works to refine such functionality, the report said. Full capabilities should be restored in the upcoming iOS 9.3 beta, and will assumedly be included in the firmware's final version.

Conservative group to attack Apple over 'hypocrisy' on religious freedom during shareholder meeting
They're not wrong. Cook will speak out on things in the US that he would never dare speak out on about China. Of course he's running a business and iPhone sales trump everything.
