Apple released its Q2 2021 earnings report to investors today after the bell, and it was another huge year—so huge, in fact, that investors are concerned it's not sustainable as the world enters a new, later phase of the pandemic.

April 28, 2021

With remote work making communication challenging, better listening by employers can help workplaces thrive. New research reveals ethical and strategic listening helped employees feel better connected and organizations make better decisions.

The pandemic has led to an uptick in remote work at many associations, forcing an abrupt change from the face-to-face communication people were used to. While most organizations have survived the change, some may be wondering if they’ve done it well. Research published in the Journal of Communication Management looked at how several organizations, including a trade association, communicated during the pandemic.

If you use this popular messaging app, beware this Trojan that’s stealing private data

April 28, 2021

Telegram app

The Telegram messaging app has been one of the beneficiaries of some of the migration we've seen away from the biggest messaging platforms, like Facebook-owned WhatsApp which recently rolled out some controversial changesand thus spurred an exodus of users. And anywhere there are lots of users of a digital product or service, it should go without saying, you can rest assured that hackers will soon follow. Telegram is one of the latest examples of this reality, given that hackers have been using it to disseminate a remote access Trojan called ToxicEye, which is malware that lets a hacker-operated ...

We’re ruining Earth’s oceans one piece of plastic at a time

ocean plastics

Humans have irreversibly altered Earth in many ways, but one of our longest-lasting legacies will always be our invention of plastics. Plastics are cheap, durable, and easy to produce. They're both a blessing and a curse, and plastic waste has piled up in every corner of the globe. Because most of our planet is covered with water, a huge portion of our plastic waste ends up in Earth's oceans, but you might not realize it by taking a weekend fishing trip. A new report from Vox, inspired by a New Yorker article titled Where Does All The Plastic ...

The Best 35mm Black-and-White Film for Artful Effects

April 28, 2021

When choosing film for black-and-white photography, the biggest things to consider are contrast and grain. Depending on your subject, you might be seeking stark differences between your grays, whites, and blacks, and certain film types will help you achieve that. Others will deliver more subtle effects. Certain film types will also show greater grain definition; this is affected by their sensitivity to light, as indicated by the ISO rating. The higher the number, the greater the sensitivity—and the larger the grain, generally speaking. One more factor to consider is processing flexibility. Some films can handle pull or push processing ...

Apple posts Q2 earnings and delivers a blowout quarter with $89.6 billion in revenue

April 28, 2021

Apple Earnings

Apple this afternoon posted its Q2 earnings report and posted revenue of $89.6 billion and EPS of $1.40. Analysts on Wall Street, meanwhile, were anticipating Apple to deliver revenue of $76.9 billion and EPS of $0.98 per share for the March quarter. Suffice it to say, Apple, per usual, completely surpassed expectations on all fronts.

As a point of contrast, Apple during the same quarter a year-ago posted $58.3 billion in revenue and EPS of $2.55, or $0.63 when you take into account the company's stock split late last year.

The Best Birch Plywood for Art Making and Crafting

April 28, 2021

Birch plywood is a popular choice for hobbyists, artists, and crafters when something sturdier than balsa wood is needed.

April 28, 2021

Galaxy Book Pro 360

Samsung on Wednesday announced the four new laptops that we’ve been expecting from the company.

On top of that, Samsung announced an expansion of its partnership with Microsoft that will allow users to leverage Windows 10 to use several features available on Galaxy smartphones and tablets.

A serious problem with over 100 ice cream products has resulted in one company recalling all of its ice cream and sherbet products produced after March 24th of this year.

The recall, which was posted by the FDA, lists over 100 different ice cream products as being included in the recall. The ice cream was distributed through a ...

Pulled Bodies, Fabric Spirits, and Celebration: Senga Nengudi’s Elusive Art Finds Joy in the Everyday

April 28, 2021

In 1978, Senga Nengudi, David Hammons, Maren Hassinger, and other artists—all part of a loose collective known as Studio Z—descended on an area beneath a Los Angeles freeway. Typically frequented by the houseless, the city’s freeway underpasses are also normally filled with urban detritus. On that day, however, for a Nengudi-organized performance known as Ceremony for Freeway Fets, it also played host to clarinetists, drummers, flautists, dancers, and more. Hassinger, who had committed to take part on the day of the event, twirled repeatedly as traffic sped by; Nengudi’s sculptures made of pantyhose were strewn around ...

Memory Work: Levan Mindiashvili at Marisa Newman Projects

April 28, 2021

Within the limited space of a modest venue, Levan Mindiashvili manages to convey in this exhibition a complex narrative of his early childhood in Tbilisi, Georgia. The show’s title, “what color is the Black Sea?,” a childish jest, alludes to a family seaside holiday when Mindiashvili was three years old, an occasion that the artist has identified as his first memory. For him, the event marks the beginning of consciousness—and self-consciousness—including the nascent moment of his queer identity.

The exhibition features the titular installation with numerous components—including live plants similar to those native to Georgia and a stone from ...

The Best Balsa Wood for Model-Building and More

April 28, 2021

All model-building fans know that balsa wood is an essential material for their craft. Sourced from the eponymous tree, this wood is lightweight, showcases minimal grain, and is favored for its softness—this is the easiest wood to carve and shape. Its firm-like-butter surface also makes it a great choice for pyrography. Given its widespread use as not only a commercial material but a crafting material, balsa wood is readily available in a range of precut shapes and sizes. From sheets to strips to a variety grab bag that’s ideal for elementary school crafts, we’ve found five of the best ...

U.S. Supreme Court To Rule on Gun Control

April 28, 2021

Next fall, the U.S. Supreme Court will hear a case at the core of the gun control debate, i.e., does the 2nd Amendment invalidate a New York state law that places a burden on citizens who want to carry arms in public? Most Americans would grant that individual citizens have a right to own a gun for their personal protection in their homes, barring some disqualifying factor: criminal history, mental health issues, but how far does it extend outside the home?

There is no doubt that gun proliferation and gun violence are very closely correlated.  Does the former cause ...

A team of archaeologists have uncovered an unusually well-preserved 1,600-year-old mosaic in Yavne, a city in central Israel. Dating from the Byzantine period, the geometric mosaic floor design was discovered during excavations of a bustling industrial zone that likely operated during the 4th and 5th century C.E., according to a press release published Monday from the Israel Antiquities Authority.
“The pavement may have been part of a splendid residential building in a wealthy neighborhood adjacent to the industrial zone,” the statement reads.

Without Government Spending, We’re Doomed

April 28, 2021

The incomparable musician and mystery writer Kinky Friedman says if you really want to see fireworks over indoor smoking, forget cigarettes. Light up a cigar.

For a financial writer like me, the equivalent is calling for government spending.

Cue the fireworks … because I do.

You may be tempted to stop reading right here. Hear me out.

My take isn’t rooted in politics. As an economist, I approach taxing and spending based on an analysis of what it is meant to achieve, and whether there are any alternatives.

One thing is clear … if the United States wants to ...

I remember my wife and I crying in our pediatrician’s office after we had finally brought our daughter home after 12 days in the NICU. Harper was born six weeks early.  The nurse in the office said in a strong New Orleans accent, “You both are in here crying over this little baby, but this baby will grow and you will then move on to something else to worry about.” At that time, it felt like tough love, but after three years of being moms, ...

Toyota is entering a hydrogen-powered Corolla in a 24-hour race

Enlarge / From May 21 to 23, Toyota will enter the Super Taikyu Series with a hydrogen-powered Corolla race car. (credit: Toyota)

For some, the allure of hydrogen-powered vehicles is hard to resist. Proponents point first to long recharging times for lithium-ion batteries and then to the speed with which pressurized hydrogen can be pumped into a car as reasons that battery-electric vehicles are doomed to failure among drivers conditioned by decades of fast refueling stops at gas stations. Mostly, those hydrogen-powered cars use fuel cells to generate electricity that powers an electric motor. But internal combustion engines can ...

GFX100S product photography by Dan Bracaglia & Richard Butler

The Fujifilm GFX 100S is the logical next step in the development of the company's medium format lineup: a 100MP sensor in a single-grip DSLR styled body. But don't mistake predictability for complacency: the GFX 100S is an awful lot of camera.

Inside its comparatively compact body, the GFX 100S carries the 102MP BSI CMOS sensor from the original GFX 100 mounted within a smaller, more powerful image stabilization mechanism. By blending technology from the GFX 100 with components ...

SitRep: Is the F-35 officially a failure?

The oft-maligned F-35 program has run into another bit of turbulence. For years, Congress has authorized the Defense Department to purchase more F-35 Lightning II aircraft than the services had made budget requests for. But that largess appears to be coming to an end—just as the US Air Force starts to look for other ways to fill out its fighter squadrons.

In February, the Air Force lifted the curtains on plans to buy a brand-new aircraft to replace the F-16 Fighting Falcon. Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. C.Q. Brown said the service is looking at ...

4.28.21 – Expansive awakenings under Sagittarius and Neptune

April 28, 2021

art by Anry

The Moon moves from Scorpio into Sagittarius today following the peak of Scorpionic intensity at yesterday’s Full Moon. This shift from Scorpio into Sagittarius takes us from the deep intensity of Scorpio into the optimistic expansive hope of Sagittarius. Pluto is stationary of course, so there is a layer of heat and power that underlies all other planetary alignments. But there is a deep breath of fresh air with the Moon in a new sign, and a lift of perspective to help the imagination and a broadening of our view.

With no planetary alignments today we ...

The snow hasn’t completely melted in the Sierra Nevada, but most of California is already deep into a drought. Over 96 percent of the Golden State is experiencing moderate to exceptional drought, compared with 36 percent last year, which was the worst year for wildfires since record keeping began. Meanwhile, in the San Bernardino National Forest, Nestlé continues to pump hundreds of thousands of gallons a week to sell as bottled water.

The folks at California’s State Water Resources Control Board aren’t amused. This week, they issued a cease-and-desist order, demanding ...

“5 Tricks to Make Laundry Less Agonizing.”

April 28, 2021

Doing laundry is the never-completed household chore we all love to hate, and a common pain point for individuals with ADHD.

Laundry rarely rewards with a sense of completion or accomplishment, which is why many people put it off until all the clean underwear is gone. It’s also a chore of opposites – it takes sustained effort but not full attention and is, therefore, often “started” but left incomplete.

How can an individual with ADHDdeal better with this undesirable chore? Here are a few helpful hints I share with my clients who complain of clothes piling up, staying ...

“I Hit a Wall During the Pandemic — and I Climbed Over It.”

April 28, 2021

If you’re feeling psychologically and mentally exhausted right now, you’re not alone.

As a therapist who has ADHD, I felt a calling at the beginning of the pandemic. I told my colleagues, “I was born for times like these!” As my practice rose to and remained in overload, I threw myself into writing, building, and training. I reached out to frontline workers, volunteering my services to those in need. I worked week after week, feeling the exhilaration of being part of the solution to massive suffering. I was determined to overcome feelings of helplessness and fear by responding to ...

For many, this moment represented both a protest against the current economic system and a symbol of a generational change in the culture of investing.

On two ways the iconic film resonates in the age of Trump.

While of course any 80-year old movie is going to feel dated in various ways, I would argue that Casablanca also feels about as contemporary as any 1940s film could. There are numerous reasons why (including the whip-smart dialogue and very telling human moments), but I ...
