Yesterday I finished reading A Higher Loyalty, the book written by former FBI director James Comey. I did manage to resist the temptation to jump ahead to the juicy bits, and my patience was rewarded: a lot of what he says about his interactions with President Trump and his administration are a lot more meaningful when placed into the context of what comes before.

See italicised updates below, with statements from both the Department of Justice and Apple. The battle between the FBI and Apple over accessing a work phone used by one of the San Bernardino terrorists started as headline news and ended in a rather anti-climactic fashion.

Instead, the FBI asked that the hearing be vacated, and later quietly announced that it had, with help, managed to gain access to the phone....

Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker marked the controversial return of Emperor Palpatine, and apparently, there was never any alternate story to his re-emergence.

And to hammer that point down, the filmmakers decided to bring the iconic villain from the first two threequels. It was during this year’s Star Wars Celebration in Chicago where it was revealed that Ian McDiarmid would reprise his role as the Emperor in The Rise of Skywalker....

Blessed with great insight (and sources), Seth already highlighted some of the big picture reasons Apple would get into the automotive industry before most people had accepted it as reality....
