Daring Fireball: MacOS 26 Tahoe’s Dead Canary Utility App Icons

It's Steve Wozniak's 75th Birthday. Whatever Happened to His YouTube Lawsuit? - Slashdot
I gave all my Apple wealth away because wealth and power are not what I live for. I have a lot of fun and happiness.

And now, as of yesterday, so am I.

Daring Fireball: MSNBC, Spinning Out of NBCUniversal, Rebrands as ‘MS NOW’ With a Godawful Backronym and Even Worse Logo
The oddest part about the whole situation is that CNBC is being spun out into Versant, too, but while they’re losing the NBC peacock logo, they’re just keeping their name, unchanged.
