Apple makes New York Magazine editor Lauren Kern 'editor in chief' at Apple News
One thing that needs to be fixed at news aggregators like Apple News: filter out ads disguised as NEWS stories. I'm looking at you, CNET. Many others do this too, even iMore who I otherwise like.

Instagram continues copying Snapchat with new 'face filters' on iPhone
A good measure of the sophistication of modern Americans. If it's shiny and moves, we are transfixed by it. We are no longer a country to be taken seriously.StrangeDays said:God I think those things are so stupid.

Teardown finds Apple's new iPad largely similar to first-gen iPad Air
Still getting jerked around with delivery date. Told 4//4-4/5 when ordered, later updated to 3/30 (hooray!), later corrected to 3/31 (boo!), later updated to 3/30 again, then finally this morning said that because of weather conditions it's back to 3/31. Ordinarily this wouldn't be a big deal, but I'm going to be gone on the 31st, so have asking and calling-off my neighbor repeatedly to rescue the box from porch pirates. What really irks me is that UPS sends California packages from Anchorage to Louisville! Into the tooth of the storms, then back to the coast. No wonder they're delayed. There must be a very large number of pads going to the west coast, why not use some of the two days they sat in Shanghai to sort them into west coast and east coast planes?

Apple hit with $2 million verdict in Calif. retail employee rights class action suit
I was a part time employee at one of the first Apple Stores, 2001? I didn't get any benefits including breaks or lunch because they never gave me more than a four hour shift. We were all so stoked to be working for Apple that we didn't care. Those were the good old days when Apple was "beleaguered" and only true believer fans like me were hired. There are so many stores today that they have to hire people who are only looking for a paycheck and are not evangelists. We gave out free cold water from the Genius Bar refrigerator too. Gone are the days.
