There will be a backlash in the US because of HIPAA. People cannot be forced to divulge health information and I suspect existing transportation laws prohibit discrimination on the basis of vaccination status. International travel is a whole different ball of wax.

That's not how HIPAA works...

Thank you. Also the SCOTUS ruled in 1905 that the federal government had the right to mandate vaccination. And I sure hope they do. And please, no religious exemptions.

Apple *is* working on an automotive project that was announced at WWDC! Soon you'll be able to unlock your new car with your iPhone or Apple Watch.

I don’t understand why this is not generating more buzz and more coverage. It’s absolutely groundbreaking. What Apple has done with Spatial Audio is incredible, and the most amazing part is they’re giving it away as a free upgrade to AirPods Pro/Max users, and Music subscribers. The first time I listened to Spatial mode on AirPods Pro, I had to double check the settings as I thought the sound was not routed to the buds and coming from outside — it feels that liberating. The experience is just incredible. And something tells me we’re only seeing the beginning. Can’t wait to hear what they’ll think of next, but consider me hooked.

Please, Apple, PLEASE make iMessage cross platform so my European friends don’t nag me to join WhatsApp. It’s become the de facto messaging system and Apple is only hurting its own business by isolating its platform.
A friend of mine is a university professor in Europe and told me last year when one of his students noticed he was using an iPhone he came up to him utterly puzzled and asked him why on Earth he would be using an iPhone. All his students and all but 2 of the faculty, including him, are android users. And they all use whatsapp and FB Messenger.
Why allow Facebook to monopolize this market?

The article is plenty neutral. It is supported by the preponderance of rulings on the first amendment and by what the founder of Parler called his own social media network. And, like you said, you're welcome to your opinion on the matter.

Bravo.
