This is a rare and fantastic grilling of Apple by a journalist over Siri, with Craig Federighi and Greg Joswiak. It's a masterpiece. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wCEkK1YzqBo

This is it. People take more than 7kg because it's replaced their checked in bag EU will claim a massive victory (with very little mention for the 7kg limit in their PR headlines), which is largely all the want. But airlines will carry

What food insecurity? We joined a successful agricultural union (the EEC, in 1973) and remained a member of its successor for decades and had fantastic access to produce, and some of the cheapest food in the EU (also thanks to a highly comp
