Apple TV with A12X ready to go at any time, claims leaker
Bite the bullet and spend the $10 for a brightly-colored glow-in-the-dark ATV remote case. It will protect it against a fall (I have two cracked ones...), will make it easy to tell up/down by touch, and makes it easier to find.Nothing can completely fix the remote, but it will improve it dramatically. -
Eric Schmidt stepping down from role as Alphabet's executive chairman
My opinions (like any of you care) about him have varied wildly. I worked for the guy when he was CEO at Novell. He was seemingly such a vast improvement over the person he replaced, plus he was a former Sun exec, so I had a great opinion of him.
But that opinion dropped due to his (felt like it) betrayal of Apple as a board member and (perhaps more importantly) his moral bankruptcy (look up info on his "marriage" and mistresses if you want.)
However, in the past few years, I guess I've had my eyes opened a bit more and realized just how common both of those behaviors are for execs in all industries. I'm not sure that excuses him in any way, but it did make me realize that although he's a horrible human being in many ways, he's certainly not unique.
