Twitter, who's that? |
Twitter, I never even met her. |
Twitter, I never even met her. |
Look, Elon, |
just because somebody gets married |
and changes their name, |
doesn't mean they no longer exist. |
And it definitely doesn't mean they don't owe me money. |
Like how you owe it to yourself |
to come back on Monday for more tech news. |
You also owe it to me, like a little bit. |
I mean, I gave up a crown for you. |
I was bossing people around, it was great. |
Few assassination attempts. |
I was executing peasants. |
I have to deliver the news at 60 miles an hour |
and if I slow down for even a second |
something bad might happen to Keanu Reeves. |
Bradley, don't slow down! |
He's already sad enough. |
Apple is apparently going to launch M4 MacBook Pros this year |
which is what I've been learning from Mark Gurman |
who lives in a house made from all the paper he's earning. |
Thank you, Jake. |
You're welcome, world. |
But even though Apple hasn't even announced them yet |
Russian YouTube channel Wilsacom |
claims to have gotten their hands on one. |
The channel's video even got a response from Gurman himself |
saying it's unconfirmed but looks fairly legitimate |
which I think is the nicest thing he's ever said about anyone. |
Personally, I'm not sure how much I trust a channel |
that may have ripped their World Premiere intro from an Xbox event. |
And by may, I mean definitely. |
World Premiere. |
Whether or not the video is legit |
Gurman claims we'll be seeing M4 MacBook Pros launch on November 1st, |
alongside new M4 Mac Minis and iMacs. |
Gurman also revealed |
that Apple Intelligence will finally arrive on October 28th. |
Yeah, it's not out yet, |
despite weeks of ads featuring actor Bella Ramsey |
using the power of AI |
to do amazing things like make a photo montage |
with sad vibes at a fish funeral. |
I've just had to watch |
that knowing I can't get that for myself yet. |
Oh, there's fine print at the bottom? |
I want sad vibes now! |
Fortunately, Apple may be trying to prevent weird delays like this |
as Gurman claims the company is moving away from its usual annual release cycle. |
Instead, they're going to try a revolutionary new strategy |
of launching products when they're ready. |
Wow. |
Genius. |
This is why Tim Cook makes the big bucks. |
Over a third of the web is caught up in a feud between two companies |
that could perhaps be described as some high school show. |
Just like teenage grudges |
it's also fairly complicated |
but we're here to help you get through it. |
Matt Mullenweg is the co-founder and owner |
of the open-source WordPress.org web publishing project |
which powers around 40% of the top 10 million websites. |
He's also the CEO of Automattic, |
which owns WordPress.com, |
a freemium web-building platform based on WordPress.org. |
You with us so far? |
Last month, Automatic sent |
WP Engine, a third-party WordPress hosting service, |
a cease-and-desist letter for using the WordPress trademark on their site |
which Automatic can technically do |
because it holds the license for the trademark's commercial rights |
stating WP Engine can't claim they bring WordPress to the masses |
when they don't contribute enough to the open-source project. |
WP Engine fired back with their own cease and desist |
claiming Mullenweg told them |
he'd take a scorched earth nuclear approach |
if WP Engine didn't pay 8% of its revenue |
as a trademark fee to Automatic |
or dedicate employee time |
of equivalent financial value to WordPress contribution. |
In apparent retaliation, |
Mullenweg banned WP Engine from using WordPress.org servers |
affecting their customers and breaking a lot of websites. |
That's what it does. |
What do you need this for? |
It's all AI now. |
Last week, WP Engine also sued Automatic for extortion |
and 159 Automatic employees accepted a severance package |
offered to workers who disagreed with Mullenweg's direction of the company. |
a.k.a. just starting. |
I probably would have taken it too |
just so I didn't have to keep trying to explain |
to my family what's happening at work. |
No mom, you don't understand. |
wordpress.org is different from wordpress.com, okay? |
Microsoft wants you to buy a new computer |
just to get access to Windows 11. |
