  • Musk taps over 50 Tesla employees to make Twitter changes

    That’s could become a controversial move since Tesla is a public traded company and Twitter is his private company. So borrowing employees from a public company can get weird. 
    Not controversial at all. They will likely be paid as independent contractors by Twitter and receive a 1099 next year for tax purposes. One's original employer (Tesla in this case) cannot bar or punish the employee for simply working a second job unless it violates a non-compete or causes issues relating to performance at the original job.

    So have the rumors of a 27” (or larger) gone away? Or have they phased that out altogether?
    If you are referring to an updated iMac I think that Elvis has left the building on that one. Not hearing anything recently.
    There will absolutely, 110%, be a 27" (or greater) AIO in 2023.

  • iPhone 14 camera cutout may not be the shape that's expected

    "If the rumors of the new cutouts for Face ID and other systems are true, it will mark five years since Apple switched to the notch."


    ?? So if the rumors are false, it won't mark 5 years?  WTF is this sentence even trying to say?  No matter what happens, they switched to the Notch 5 years ago.

    Nice looking UI. Also glad I am a nobody. No reason to spy on me unless they want to know what we’re having for dinner. 
    It's actually a pretty terrible UX by 2022 standards. But since the datestamps in the picture are from nearly 10 years ago, its likely that the current UX is styled much differently than what you see here.  I am surprised to see that it is apparently a fat windows client, rather than a web ux - but again, 10 years old so who knows how it is delivered today.

  • Steve Jobs' hero Buckminster Fuller thought Apple II was a toy

    Editor: I’m Taylor Barcroft, the witness in the story. Please correct the spelling of my last name as is misspelled the second time in the story as “Barcraft” instead of the correct “Barcroft”. Thank you for telling that story.
    I hope they fix it, but as I always say - the article is published, the clicks are happening, the banner ads are serving, and the author will get their dime. So why would they bother fixing it up when they're already on to the next story that will also be full of typos. Real journalism that includes a commitment to quality is dead. And it happens pretty much everywhere on the internet.
