I recall that when OS X was new, I owned a few apps that arranged their preferences in the same way as System Preferences, but they all eventually changed. Maybe it was too much expense for developers to design icons for each new subsection in preferences, or maybe it was just too difficult for users to identify subsections by icon. Regardless, I welcome this design change to match iPhone and iPad. The old random jumble of icons looked really dated, was not attractive, and was less efficient with the constant clicking of a tiny grid icon in the title bar.

I would love for Apple to add glucose monitoring to Watch 

I'm sure a group at Apple is working hard at this. It's the most popular feature Apple could add. Every diabetic with the means would buy an Apple Watch. And I imagine (in the U.S.), insurance companies and Medicare would go for it in a big way.

Was Newton really as big a disaster as one commenter claims? The size, the pen, ARM chips, touch interface, 3rd party apps -- it clearly inspired the devices we use today. The major problem was ARM chips in 1993 just weren't fast enough. If Newtons and eMate had an A15 chip, it would have been a different story.

I'm a longtime developer, and this is nothing new. It's been going on for years. If you don't update your app for several years, Apple pulls them, with 30 days warning. It may seem harsh to some, but it's fair. Users don't want to slog through ancient apps in the App Store that don't run on current devices. Aspect ratios change, APIs come and go, notches or none. If you can't update your apps to the latest devices, it only gets harder waiting another year. This is a difference between Apple platforms and Windows. Windows tries to keep 30-year-old software working on the latest OS; Apple says nope. Works for active developers, not great for lazy ones.

For years now, Comixology has been encouraging us to click the My Books button to access our purchased comics (this is in a browser on a computer). On the new website, I have no idea how to read my thousands of books. Anyone have an idea? At this point, I'd like my purchases refunded, all 12 years of them.
