Apple’s ‘Scary Fast’ Was a Fun Non-Event
Last night, Apple held what was perhaps one of the most unusual events in the company’s storied history. While the topic of the event was typical for October — new Macs — the presentation and format had an unusually whimsical spin.
Firstly, the evening timing was unprecedented for an Apple event. Most Apple events start in the morning in Cupertino at 10 a.m. Pacific Time, putting them at a comfortable 1:00 p.m. on the East Coast. Occasionally, Apple will have later start times when hosting events in other locations, such as some of the education-focused events held in Chicago and New York City over the years. Still, those have always been the exceptions, and Apple product announcements coming from Cupertino usually keep to a pretty predictable schedule.

This Apple Watch feature will save you from hearing damage — enable it now
While it may sound like hyperbole to say that an Apple Watch feature could save your hearing, it isn't. Most of us are regularly exposed to loud sounds which can easily damage our ears, causing hearing loss and/or tinnitus.
The real danger is not the odd loud bang of a firework or something dropping off a truck, as these are very short-lived occurrences. In most of our day-to-day lives, proper damage is done by sustained loud noise — things like listening to music too loud, riding a motorcycle or using power tools. Anything above 80 decibels (dB), according to the CDC, is going to start causing hearing damage with prolonged exposure.

The Guide to iPad Gestures
Gestures are a great way to become an iPad power user. Gestures help you easily navigate through apps, switch between pages, access controls, and reduce multiple taps to a single swipe. Gestures are especially useful for Stage Manager, the new multitasking environment on iPad.
Apple designed gestures to mimic natural, real-world movements, making them intuitive to use and learn. Swiping, pinching, tapping, and other gestures feel familiar and are easy to master.
If you use your iPad a lot, they’re well worth learning — even just a few. Your fingers will thank you!
