  • Apple Watch of the future could have a modular back for upgrades & new sensors

    I wish you could replace the battery in the watch without destroying it.
    I think that would be nice, but I just went from a Series 0 to a 5, and I am very happy with it.  4.5 years on the Series 0 ordered a few days after it became available isn’t too bad, and just changing the battery would give me a longer day with it, but the functions of the 5 are such an advancement that I don’t think that changing the battery out is that much of a lost feature.

    Having said that, my daughter has my old 0, and I see your point on the battery exchangeability.

    A highly political article under which Comments are allowed!  Refreshing!

    LET FREEDOM REIGN!
    Sorry, we’ve given up on freedom it’s $$$ that buys elections.  But, feel free to think otherwise...
    2016 was the exception to that statement:

    What is amazing is the ratio was almost 2:1.

  • Apple News, ABC team up for wide 2020 election coverage


    "This election is one of the most consequential in modern history, and this unprecedented partnership with Apple News will deliver our world-class political journalism to more people than ever before," said James Goldston, president of ABC News. "It will enable millions more people to have a deeper understanding of the key issues, candidates and events by providing straightforward information, insight and context during the entire 2020 cycle — reaching our audience anywhere and anytime they want breaking and in-depth news.


    For once, I'd love to hear someone say:

    "This election is mundane.  Nothing to see here.  In fact, we're not covering it more than 3 minutes in our newscasts.  In our lifetime, I expect that this election will go down as the least interesting inconsequential elections to ever be put to a ballot," said Rufus Scrimjaw, president of MSABCBS News.  "Enabling trillions of people to access this information and having a deeper understanding of key events will most likely bore them after a few minutes, so we'll keep the advertising off the site that will distract them into taking a look at The secrets on Gilligan's Island, What really happened to Michael Landon, or The Kardashian's tell what secrets they have left.  We will have breaking news in the campaign, if it warrants, but it'll have to be momentous, like whether a candidate used an improper participle, or used 'who' instead of 'whom' in a sentence.  I think that will be about the extent of anything newsworthy."
