Absurd take

My money’s on Chappers filling in.

Cheers - this would work, but first requires whitelisting all the sources you’re happy to see news from, rather than simply not showing you news from sources you’ve blocked.

Fair enough. Although I would say that the magazine aspect (which I use it for primarily) couldn’t really adhere to that. The printed publications that you’d buy in a newsagent contain printed ads. I’m not saying it’s good, but it’s not different. Paper copy or digital, you’re getting ads with whichever one you pay for.

Isn’t it the publications themselves that contain the ads rather than the app itself?

Well now I’m going to have to try it aren’t I.

Not sure I’d agree, as the sources are configurable, but this sort of shit is far from a great user experience.

Apple Arcade for me

To be fair, the magazines available on News+ are great. I have Apple One because it covers all the household’s music/storage/fitness solutions for a reasonable price (considering how many people are on my subscription). News+ is included, and the list of magazine subscriptions bundled within it is surprisingly extensive. The app’s not perfect though, as this crappy design shows.

Yeah I think it was supposed to be considerably longer, but due to delays, loads of stuff was cut and the game’s story finished early.

The fridge egg holder is for keeping hard boiled eggs, not raw ones.

That’s an interesting observation, I hadn’t thought of that. Although the day I consider pre-boiling eggs for later consumption is the day I give up on the illusion of youth.

No interest in Windows at all, but Copilot is actually a great name for what the product is supposed to be/being marketed as. Windows Intelligence sounds like a return to the very old-school long-winded style of Microsoft branding.

This’ll blow your mind, but I actually put the box on top of the fridge. It makes sense in my kitchen layout, but I understand how much of fridge-tease it is for them.

Apart from pretty much every single supermarket

Earth

All the successes listed for that year were sequels/prequels, so there’s an element of playing it safe. This year’s were all originals, which is ambitious, and to be honest, laudable. Just a shame they were shit.

The vibe’s very different without Sid James and Barbara Windsor.

It’s the fucking Daily Mail, and should be completely avoided anyway.

It sounds so bizarre that Ireland has been fighting in court to avoid having to receive €13bn from Apple.
