If I traveled more, I'd get one of these. When I travel and expect to spend substantial time working, I take a laptop, but when I travel and expect only brief check-ins, I take an iPad and the Bluetooth keyboard from my desk setup. However, it does feel clunky reaching forward to the screen to click things, since I'm so used to the laptop setup with the trackpad nestled under my hand.

I haven't tried a mouse/trackpad with an iPad yet. I'm curious whether that feels the same as using a Mac, or is still comparatively inefficient. Making text selections is particularly annoying on a touch screen.

Music copyright is a mess. You wright it, he records it, they put out the record, someone else converts it to a download or a stream. Everyone is entitled to a cut right down to the backup horn player that played one note. Unless of course someone along the way signed away their rights or bought the rights from someone else, or inherited the rights from their long lost uncle Friggy who arranged the piece. Add a few mergers and acquisitions, and copyright expirations, and it's damn near impossible to know who owns what. 

There are a few different aspects of a recording that entitles someone to royalties -- basically writing and recording -- but not arranging, playing on the track or converting between formats. Those people could possibly have negotiated a deal to share royalties with the copyright owners, but there's no law requiring that and it would be more common to pay a one-time fee for those services. Mergers and expiration dates can make it complicated, but probably not the "everyone gets a piece of the pie" scenario you described.

He made a trivial slip-up into another massive opportunity to lie about what he had said.
A better president would have simply laughed it off, but good-natured honest self-deprecation isn't in the man's genes.
That is what turns his non-stories into stories.

 Agreed -- it's not the crime, it's the cover-up.

The last few iOS versions were released on Tuesday or Wednesday, and iOS 12 was released on Monday. I imagine that could affect the installation activity.

I usually wait a while, too, but I had good experiences with the developer betas and went ahead and installed yesterday. This is the first major iOS release that didn't require weeks of development time to work around bugs and maintain compatibility with basic iOS frameworks. In fact, I haven't yet seen a problem that iOS caused in my apps. Whew! I can certainly use that time to work on other things.

What does the 'R' stand for? I looked at a thesaurus and the only synonym for color that starts with 'R' is race… and I'm certain that's not Apple's reasoning.

One letter before S = almost as good as S?
