Following a report that Apple’s infinitely-rumored car is further in the distance than it may have appeared, Mark Gurman says that Apple hardware exec DJ Novotney is departing for Rivian.
The Awesomer pointed to this screen recording of someone doing just that on YouTube. But that’s no fun, so here’s an Internet Archive link to the requisite files, uploaded the day Steamboat Willie’s version of Mickey Mouse entered the public domain this year.
It’s not necessarily the best way to experience this version of Mickey Mouse, but it’s certainly a way.
This picture from Japan’s space agency, JAXA, showing the “Moon Sniper” lander upside-down was snapped by one of the small robots it ejected just as it landed.
Unfortunate as the lander’s resting position is, JAXA pointed out separately that this meant its tiny, transforming robotic ball worked. It also says it still hopes the lander can be salvaged as the sun’s angle changes.
So says Mark Gurman in the latest Power On newsletter for Bloomberg. That’s not all — in addition to two iPad Air models (one a 12.9-inch!) and OLED iPad Pro tablets, he writes that 13- and- 15-inch MacBook Air models will be updated with M3 chips at the same time.
That would be the first refresh of each iPad and the 13-inch MacBook Air since 2022.

Prior to opening its iPhone ecosystem this week to allow sideloading in the EU, Apple required that its own login service be offered alongside third-party services like Facebook Login.

So says The Wall Street Journal in a report this morning that his administration will give “billions of dollars” to the likes of Intel and Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC), both of which have started US manufacturing projects, although TSMC, at least, is behind schedule.
It’s been well over a year since Biden signed the $280 billion CHIPS and Science Act, which set aside $52 billion to bring more chipmaking jobs stateside.
In what Variety called an otherwise business-as-usual annual 10-K report to the SEC, Netflix wrote that it “could be adversely impacted” if its competitors use generative AI to gain an edge.
The company also claimed that using AI-generated material could leave it more exposed to litigation over intellectual property, given the open questions around copyright law and AI.
Ars Technica reported last week that he had peacefully passed away on January 17th. Mills was responsible for the profoundly important creation of Network Time Protocol (NTP), the protocol that underpins the synchronization of networked computers across the world.
Ars also pointed to a 2022 New Yorker profile that tells how Mills became the authority on internet time-keeping. Here is a time-stamped link to his explanation of NTP’s history in a 2005 presentation.
