I agree with Bieber on this one. The send button and dictation button should not be in the same spot. If you must have a secondary button there, make it photos. There can’t be more people using dictation in messages than photos. Stick that mic under the +.

Justin Bieber is just like us: He's really mad about this annoying iPhone design feature
Justin Bieber's remark that he'll "find everyone at apple and put them in a rear naked choke hold" came as the company weathers a series of setbacks.

Speaking as an introvert, I would hate this as both an employee and a customer.
"Store employees are now required to smile if they are within 10 feet of a shopper.
They also must make eye contact with and wave to or greet the customer.
If they’re within four feet, the employee should ask how the customer’s day is going or if they need help."
🙄 Won't stop the boycott, y'all.

This would be bonkers if they go through with it.
SCOOP — Part of the reason Disney/ABC may have rushed to sort things out with Kimmel is because tomorrow they have a planned price increase for Disney+ streaming, a Disney source tells me. With subscriptions hemorrhaging since last week, they couldn’t risk losing more users with this announcement.

It has been brought to our attention that some sections of Article 1 are missing from the Constitution Annotated (constitution.congress.gov) website. We’ve learned that this is due to a coding error. We have been working to correct this and expect it to be resolved soon.

Last week, Elon Musk's Grok AI started spewing extreme antisemitism, calling itself "MechaHitler" and pushing conspiracy theories about Jewish people. But that wasn't the most revealing part of the story. The real smoking gun came courtesy of AI researcher Simon Willison, who discovered something far more insidious: when you ask Grok controversial questions, it quietly searches X for Elon Musk's opinions before responding…

iPhone 17e is reportedly launching next year, here’s what we know so far
Apple’s been toying around with the idea of a cheaper iPhone in the lineup for quite some time, though it’s never been a consistent thing. Obviously, there was the iPhone 5c back in 2013 as a cheaper offering compared to the iPhone 5s. It didn’t sell too well, but it was certainly its first venture into this market.
Afterwards, there was the lineup, which had an average of 3 years between each refresh. Now, it’s looking like the ‘cheaper’ iPhone will become a regular part of the iPhone lineup, per recent reports.
