Very sad that he also died of pancreatic cancer, just like Steve Jobs did.  I remember using HyperCard and creating HyperCard stacks on my Mac Plus back in the late 80s.

I have now fully come around to agreeing that It’s time for Tim Cook to go. 

A lot of great things happened under his leadership, especially apple silicon in Macs, but the Apple car debacle and now the AI debacle are convincing me that Apple needs a “product guy” leading the firm again. 

What car debacle?  The car never existed as a product.  It was always a rumor.  It was a concept that never became reality.  Doesn't matter if they have a product guy.  Siri has been stupid since 2011 with Apple doing nothing to improve it, so why would you think Apple's attempt at AI would be any better with a product guy?

Microsoft went backwards.  
Windows 95, 98, 2000, Millennium Edition, XP, 7, 8, 10, 11.

The new OS naming is nice, they would be consistent.  The Macs have had the year in the model name going back as far as the QuickSilver 2002.  Now they need to fix the naming on the iPhones and iPads because those are a complete mess.  And the AirPod products as well.

Please tell me that this isn't because Apple wants to ram (!) AI down our collective throats. Could we please just have non-AI OS support for these machines?

You can turn off Apple Intelligence, even on Apple Silicon Macs. It is not required.

"Digital assistant Siri will obviously be involved with the glasses, which should also be in a greatly improved form by the time they launch."

It is funny what they think will actually be a reality.  They can't even get Siri to work well on the phone, and that has been around for 14 years...and users are still waiting.  They still botched it and now they claim iOS 19.  Not likely.  This seems like it was written by that Apple Shill Ryan over at 9to5.  His articles have destroyed the credibility of that site with all his fantasy pieces that he claims are reality.
