Imminent iMac launch rumors doubted by prominent leaker
Just wait... it's an age-related thing ... one day you will be.

Apple advises against MacBook camera covers due to display cracking
So.... form over function.netrox said:Because the display is really thin and it's actually a miracle that they manage to put a functional camera in it. I don't think there's enough room to put a slide.

Netflix says Apple TV+, others to accelerate transition away from traditional TV
The headline is, i think, accurate... Its been a couple years, but i already dropped "cable TV" in favor of streaming TV (via Hulu in my case)... still get local channels... pretty much the same service for the same price, but better reliability. And I have several neighbors that have done the same recently.
(If we old folks are doing it now, then the cable TV business is on it's last legs.)

Microsoft Store loses eBook sales fight, will refund users & delete books in July
THIS is why DRM is a bad idea. (Yes, I know they're refunding people... but still... now they have to go re-buy something?, possibly at a higher price?... if it's even still available?)
I love the "ephemeral" (nod to dysamoria) digital media... but once I pay for it, I make a point of having a DRM free version of it.

Boeing 737 Max pilots didn't have flight simulators, and trained on iPads instead
It's not unstable. (by design or otherwise.) The airplane is controllable and capable of flying with no electrical power at all.poisednoise said:... I dont want to fly on a plane that is inherently unstable by design, as this one is, and requires software to ensure it remains in the air...Software is not required to ensure it remains in the air. (That statement would be valid for an Airbus.... you should avoid flying on them.)
The MCAS is in place to make the airplane "feel" nearly identical to the NG version of the plane (something it does surprisingly well!)... so that minimal training would be required to transition between the NG and MAX versions of the airplane. (This MCAS is not related to what you were comparing it to in modern fighter aircraft.)
The airplane would fly and perform just fine without MCAS, but would "feel" differently than older versions from a pilot's perspective.
