Why would anyone in their right mind want their company accounting records in the cloud, where they can't do local back ups, can't migrate somewhere else if their needs change, and are hostage to whatever future subscription rate is charged? Nice set of books you got there. Shame if something should happen to them. Accountedge has been an excellent program. They have been saying for months they would make it compatible. What dicks.

Yes, Apple should stand for privacy of data.  Who else will?  Small conflict I see is Apple's embrace of cloud back ups.  That has it's place, but if Apple really believes in privacy, they should embrace completely private backups, local.  Airport made that very convenient for many users.

I too urge caution when attempting to outlaw or prevent "fake news." It also makes sense to differentiate between "fake" news (invented with no compunction regarding truthfulness) and "false" news (news which attempts to be truthful but is not). I see no reason to believe either are new inventions. I suspect the current hysteria stems from a visceral desire to shout, "HE'S LYING!", or "I'M STILL ANGRY!" Free speech should be tolerant speech, not perfect speech. The problem with trying to immediately censor or flag something as false, is that sometimes the truth cannot be immediately known. Sometimes debates go on for years (the sea rising is not normal/the sea rising is natural) and while adherents to one point of view my sleep better knowing their opponents are silenced, there is nothing "real" about arbitrary decisions or committee votes. The desire to be right can be as subversive as the desire to make false statements. OTOH, I see no harm in noting that something lacks proof, which is different from saying something is false. To alert people that there is a need to keep thinking, seems to me to be a wise and reasonable way to raise a concern, much more wide and reasonable I think than to tell people what to believe or not to believe.

If a transmitter is emitting energy in all directions, but the receiving antenna is only in one location, what percent of the radiated energy actually makes it to the receiver? How does its energy consumption compare to conventional plug in chargers?

IPhoto 9.6.1 is working fine on Yosemite and El Capitan here. For me to move to Photos, which I consider dreadful, it would have to have the useful organization of iPhoto. In particular that means events, albums, albums in folders, and folders in folders. Not impressed by the wow factor of seeing 30,000 tiny thumbnails of my photos in one window. I need to be able to organize and find things. Keywords are a lame way to do this. Taking the file system out of a mac app makes no sense.
