Hey, good morning! You look fabulous.
We're not done with WWDC yet. Now that Apple showed off some new toys, we're ready to walk through its updated software and discuss whether or not we're impressed by the expensive new hardware.
A $999 monitor stand is everything wrong with Apple today
Here's the thing: The Pro Display XDR stand seems nice. Devindra Hardawar explains what the crowd at WWDC was thinking when it heard the price of Apple's latest attempt "to upsell attractive tech that ultimately doesn't do much for users."
Xbox body wash is a necessary and terrible idea
Microsoft is partnering with body-wash maker Lynx -- an alternate brand name used by Axe in some countries -- to create an Xbox-branded collection of personal-care products. The lineup will include a body spray, deodorant and shower gel.
macOS Catalina first look: Sidecar, Project Catalyst and Voice Control
In this video, we'll take a look at macOS Catalina and three of its more notable features: Sidecar (for using an iPad as a secondary display); Project Catalyst (allowing developers to easily port over iOS apps to the Mac) and Voice Control (allowing people with limited mobility to fully navigate the operating system with voice commands). Obviously, we'll be back this summer with a preview of the beta, followed by a full review of the complete and final software in the fall.
iOS 13 first look: Dark Mode, Maps and more
The upside to sticking around WWDC after the keynote is that we got to spend a little time seeing how some of the update's biggest enhancements work. While we couldn't actually fiddle with the software, we did get a pretty solid sense of what really matters in iOS 13 -- that dark mode is seriously easy on the eyes, and the ability to sign into apps and services with your Apple ID seems like it could be a game-changer for people who care about their privacy.
iPadOS first look: Desktop-class browsing, better multitasking and more
Rather than dig into every single feature that's going into iPadOS -- we're still trying to sort through all of them -- we cooked up a handy video primer to walk you through some of the update's most important features. That new home screen is nice and all, but improved multitasking, a new approach to file management and a much-improved web browsing experience in Safari go a long way in making the iPad feel like a machine worth using for work and play.
Bird is adding a shareable electric motorcycle to its fleet
The Bird Cruiser is described as a "seated electric vehicle" that can carry up to two adults at a time. You'll get a padded seat, a choice of pedals or pegs for your feet and hydraulic disc brakes to ensure safe stopping. What could possibly go wrong?
Experts weigh in on Apple's private sign-in feature
Can Apple truly handle privacy better than Google and Facebook? To find out, we spoke to security and privacy experts about Sign in with Apple, most of whom believe the feature could be a game-changer for protecting consumers' privacy. According to U of M professor Florian Schaub, "The ability to easily generate random email addresses and Apple handling the management of those credentials will make it much easier for consumers to protect their personal information when interacting with mobile apps and online services."
GM and Michelin will bring airless tires to passenger cars by 2024
A mix of composite rubber and resin embedded fiberglass lets Michelin's Uptis operate at highway speeds -- earlier options tend to work only when you're slowly putting around. They're not as visually appealing as conventional tires, but Michelin claims they're just as comfortable.
