Apple will start employing many people around the world to update the map in real time. You will be able to make money (paid through your Apple Card) by go out with your phone and update locations. Your boss will be  an A.I. Bot giving jobs to tens of thousands all over the world at minimum wage to spend their day recording and uploading. Eventually people will realize that that is what this world is... we are all AI bots recording the world with our eyes and ears for our masters to play the game in the prior dimension. 

These are GREAT! My friend works as a private investigator (ex-Mossad agent) - this will make it easy to track clients and cars, arrange direct hits. Just love apple tech!

Only movies which have premiered in a theater are eligible for an Oscar. And the Academy Awards aren’t exactly the mark of excellence they used to be 40-50 years ago. They’re an award decided by and given to movie industry insiders. Worthless, IMO.

Except for the 2021 Academy Awards, from reading the article it seems like Greyhound “should” be able to be nominated.

If theaters don't open this year, there will be no academy awards - or else they will make an exception to the rules for this year only and let streaming releases be nominated. Hanks shouldn’t be denied his shot at a best screenplay Oscar if his work is good.

For this to work Apple needs to buy a studio (like Paramount for instance) so that they can develop more risqué films and TV shows without tarnishing the "Apple Brand" - they need a "Beats" type offshoot to create edgier and more interesting stuff. Buy Paramount or another famous studio, acquire their back catalog and their creative teams and get to work. Apple+ programming is "vanilla" at best - family bland stuff that doesn't offend anyone and doesn't get anyone excited either.

I've been wanting a new MacPro, but something has held me off buying one. After reading this story I think I'll wait a few more months until things settle a bit and the corona virus eventually passes. Seems we're heading into chaos territory across the board - both in business and in life. Hope you get your machine fixed soon!
