"Designed in California.  Never to be implemented in California."

Exactly. What’s up with that. Biggest corporation in California, chummy with many State pols, but still can’t get the DMV to bite? Apple should be the State Computer and phone on every department desk and employee pocket. Apple needs a new director of lobbying for this State. 

Political contributions are free speech, the gift from Supreme Court hell that keeps on giving. Until this changes we are an oligarchy. Forget patent reform. 

The article title may give the impression that only an expert can use AirTags to retrieve lost items. 

Attaching Snowden’s name to this motivates me to ignore it. Old line liberal here, but selling out your country is a bridge too far.

I wish multitasking on my iPad Pro could be turned off. I’ve never once wanted it —have a Mac for that —but every now and again I fat finger something and it gets accidentally invoked in the most annoying fashion. The worst is split-screening Safari, which completely screws up whatever I was doing.

Amen to that—thought it was just me. I can’t do a leisurely scroll though my AppleNews+ feed without inadvertently invoking pop-ups, slide-ins, and other annoyances that defy my efforts to dismiss them. I have to quit the app sometimes in order to get rid of them. At very least they could put a little X in the corner to dismiss. Need a “classic mode” for those who like unitasking.
