Tim Cook bids farewell to Luca Maestri on his last earnings call
He is smiling in both images - and with good reason. Imagine the last ten years as CFO at Apple.alphadork said:

Apple has killed the 8K120 support note for the M4 iMac
The capability that left me excited for the new iMac. I run an external monitor on my first gen M series iMac. Sad over the error. -

Party's over: Apple tries to shrink costs of Apple TV+ productions
Read every Hornblower book as a teenager. Bedtime was 'what am I going to read now?' Usually for a couple of hours. Doc. E. E. Smith, Asimov, Clarke too and others. Those days.entropys said:Marvin
the trouble with the morning show is that it was at best a one series show. Now it is just boring soap with expensive actors.
That list of kindle books is interesting , but nearly all have already been made into movies or shows.
perhaps Follet’s The Pillars of the Earth would make a great short series and hasn’t been done. That said, I don’t expect it would be quite the right thing for the people picking ATV+ content. Too religious and the pitch might be tricky.
Personally, I would like to have a limited run Hornblower series. Say three or four episodes per book, like the Ion Griffud version a few years ago, but with a budget.
and with regard to SF, how about Henlien’s time for the stars? Classic Amazing Stories type Sci Fi. Or Starship Troopers a lot more faithful to the book.
On nasty aliens, how about Legacy of Heorot, by Larry Niven, Jerry Pournelle and Steven Barnes? About an unintended consequence of interfering in a strange environment. This could be made without much outlay.
