Apple working to combat fake news in News app, Eddy Cue says
Back in the day it was called fact checking. If you make news available based on what other news outlets said you would fact check it first before putting it in print or broadcasting it. How much weight you gave various sources would depend on their past reliability.9secondkox2 said:Back in the day this was called censorshi o and it's universally recognized as bad.
How is this different except news is gathered automatically so more reliance on reliability of source is needed.

will.i.am, Kendall Jenner & Naomi Campbell launch Buttons wireless earbuds at Apple stores
the micro USB is to charge the battery on the wireless earbuds - other end is a normal USB A plug.mac_128 said:What point is buying any BT headphones without the W1 chip at this point? Especially if it's the same price or more than the yet to materialize AirPods, Beats X or PowerBeats3 (which doesn't deliver until Nov. 14-21), or the Beats Solo3.
And it has a micro USB charging cable, which is even more inconvenient for an iPhone 7 customer, like the Solo3, and PowerBeats3 are also despite having a W1 chip.
This is hardly a smooth transition away from the headphone jack.

For those of us who use it for work, I am sure it will integrate into our touch-typing routines pretty quickly.80s_Apple_Guy said:So instead of being able to touch type and keep looking at the screen or looking at the screen and touching what I want, I now have to keep looking down at the thin touch strip on the keyboard to work? That seems very inefficient
