Several photos have surfaced showing what is supposed to be the next iPhone and MacBook Pro over the last few days. These leaked photos themselves are not surprising. Apple spy photos are big business and a staple in tech journalism. But if these photos are to be believed, radical changes are about to hit two of Apple’s flagship products. And it’s about damn time.

The iPhone shots show a smartphone that’s smoother and less conspicuous than previous models. It also shows a cell phone without a 3.5mm jack traditionally used for headphones. If true, users will have to use an adapter or buy a new set of headphones that sport a Lightning connection.

Another report shows the MacBook Pro is about to get an overhaul. Gone are full size USB ports present on Apple laptops since the colorful iBook released in 1999. In its place are said to be four USB-C ports, which feature faster speeds but a different connection type that will force more adapters onto owners.

The redesigned MacBook Pro (pictured above) is said to also sport a long OLED touchpad that will replace the function keys that live above the number row. It’s speculated that users will be able to customize actions on this thin touchpad.

The same report states Apple is about to ditch its magical and magnetic MagSafe power connection.

Take a deep breath. The aforementioned changes are just rumors at this point and not confirmed by Apple.

Even if just half of the above turns out to be true, it will be good for Apple and perhaps the consumer. Apple has done this before and pushed the industry forward.

The original iMac didn’t sport a floppy disc drive. That was radical in 1998. USB flash drives were still a thing of fantasy. In 2001 the first iPod shipped with Firewire likely because USB 1.1 was too slow. And then in 2005, Apple dropped Firewire from the iPod. And the list goes on: optical drives, analog connections, even the long-used Dock Connector. In retrospect, dropping support for these technologies makes sense but at the time, the decisions felt radical and alienating

Since the late Steve Jobs’ returned to the company, Apple didn’t wait until the right time; it made the time right.

  Since the late Steve Jobs’ returned to the company, Apple didn’t wait until the right time; it made the time right.

Look at the original MacBook Air. By today’s standards, the first MacBook Air is a mundane computer. It has a small screen, thin body, and long battery life. But in 2008 when it was released, it was the butt of jokes. Sure, it was thin, said bloggers at the time, but it lacked an optical disk drive and relied too much on wireless connectivity since it didn’t have an ethernet port. You’ll have to carry an optical drive and all sorts of adapters, they said.

Apple built the Air not for 2008, but for later when wireless networking was ubiquitous and optical disk drives were all but relics.

Look back at past Apple devices. Products change little over time. Apple tends to let products evolve until a complete overhaul is prudent. And this change tends to be painful for a generation or two after a radical upgrade — remember the pain in trying to find a Lightning cable shortly after the launch of the iPhone 5.

Apple builds its products around platforms much like an automaker. This is done likely to keep manufacturing and supply costs down. The iPad and iPod touch shares many parts with the iPhone. The MacBook Pro and MacBook sport similar layouts and components. But with this shared architecture comes the burden of making painful shifts every few years to set itself up for where technology will be in a few years.

Listen, I don’t want to lose my full size USB ports either. The MacBook Pro has long been my mobile machine of choice because of its plethora of connections and options. Change is hard and I don’t own a single device that recharges over USB-C. Yet. But if the past foretells the future, next year, at this time, I will probably own a handful of USB-C devices and more will be on the way.

I also own a killer set of headphones that, I guess, if I want to use them with the next iPhone, I’ll have to use in conjunction with a Lightning to 3.5mm adapter. Change is hard, friends, yet we’ve done it in the past and the world keeps spinning and Apple keeps printing money.

Answer the following question based on the above passage:

What does the text say about Apple?

answer: The text indicates that Apple is willing to take radical steps in order to propel both its flagship products, the iPhone and MacBook Pro, into the future. These decisions are typically met with resistance and some early troubles. However, in the long term, consumers come to adopt the changes made by Apple and ultimately benefit from them.

These decisions are typically met with resistance and some early troubles. However, in the long term, consumers come to adopt the changes made by Apple and ultimately benefit from them.

answer: Apple stated reports documenting radical changes to the iPhone and MacBook Pro are all just rumours at the time of the document. Even if half of the above turns out to be true, it will be good for Apple and probably the consumer. Apple has done it in the past that pushed the industry forward, such as with the original iMac. They tend to let their products evolve before making the change.

text: Incoherent

refinement: The text argues that Apple is likely to make a few radical changes to its products in the near future, though nothing is confirmed yet. The argument is that Apple pushes the industry forward with often-painful changes. This is because Apple builds its products around platforms and adjusts them to meet future needs.

answer: Apple tries its very best to go with the times, modernize its products and be in sync with the need of the hour. Older products are discontinued and replaced with new ones. The company attempts to make changes when there is a major shift in technology, and those changes happen in phases. Apple is the leader of the tech world and has ripped many ideas off other companies, going as far as using its own peripherals and accessories while they are still in their infancy, then dropping support for them in order to push forward.

answer: The text argues that Apple is likely to make radical changes to its products in order to keep up with the evolving landscape of technology. This change often feels radical and is difficult to adjust to in the short term, but the eventual change proves to be productive in the end. Thus, the text sees spy photos as being indicative of upcoming change with Apple products.

answer: Spy photos are leaked photos that usually give information on new or upcoming products. Apple spy photos expose products like software and hardware, as in this article. Apple has been a staple in technology journalism. The photo that suggests a design for the next iPhone might radically change is not surprising since Apple does this consistently throughout the years. One point of the technology is to give options to consumers and make the world a better place.

answer: The spy photos from Apple are believed to have radical changes in the upcoming Apple products. These leaked photos themselves are not surprising. Everyone is excited about its release.

At the time, this was true, but the article says: “Apple built the Air not for 2008, but for later when wireless networking was ubiquitous and optical disk drives were all but relics."

answer: The original MacBook Air was seen as dowdy and ugly by many when it was first released, but proved to be ahead of its time. Apple built the Air not for 2008, but for later when wireless networking was ubiquitous and optical disk drives were all but relics. This necessitates making unpopular changes like dropping full size USB ports and introducing new connector types like USB-C.

answer: The text states that when the original MacBook Air was released in 2008, it was considered boring and lacking features compared to other laptops on the market. However, Apple predicted that wireless connectivity would become ubiquitous in the near future and decided to build the Air around that. Although this resulted in initial criticism, the Air is now considered a revolutionary product.

answer: When the original MacBook Air was first released in 2008, the general consensus was: neat laptop, but too thin to be practical. It lacked a Wi-Fi port and had a small screen, so owners would have to buy a Wi-Fi dongle, an ethernet adapter, an external USB port, and dig out an optical disc drive for occasional movie-browsing or copying music.

answer: According to today's standards, the first Macbook Air is a mundane computer. However, when it was released in 2008, it was the butt of jokes.

In 2016, she received the Aurora Chamber's Outstanding Woman award, as well as the United Veterans Committee Legislator of the Year award.

Legislative career

2008 election

Ryden announced her candidacy for the state legislature in February 2008, after incumbent Rep. Morgan Carroll announced her candidacy for the state senate amidst a scandal that prompted the withdrawal of the previous candidate, Rep. Michael Garcia.[7] Ryden was endorsed by Rep. Carroll,[8] was nominated by unanimous acclamation at the Democratic house district assembly,[9] and saw no opposition in the August Democratic primary.[10]

Ryden faced Republican Kathy Green in the November 2008 general election. Ryden's candidacy was endorsed by the _Aurora Sentinel_[11] and the _Denver Post_, [12] and she won with 60 percent of the popular vote.[13]

Public Trustee Career

In June, 2016, Gov. John Hickenlooper appointed Ryden as Public Trustee for Arapahoe County. Colorado's Public Trustee system is unique among the 50 states and dates back to the Silver Crisis of the 1890s. At that time, Colorado was in a deep depression and record numbers of miners, merchants and homeowners were losing their property to foreclosure. The State Legislature decided to take the process out of the courts and put it in the hands of Public Trustees who were pledged to provide a relatively inexpensive process that ensured fairness for everyone concerned.

Each Public Trustee office is required to be self-funded through fees earned from providing services. For over 125 years, the Public Trustees in the largest counties have been appointed by the Governor in an effort to keep the offices separate and independent from other state and county offices. In the other counties, where the volume of business is too small to support a separate office, the County Treasurer serves as the Public Trustee.

In 2019, the Legislature passed HB19-1295, which mandates that the currently appointed Public Trustee positions will be eliminated in July 2020, and the County Treasurers will assume the Public Trustee duties.

Answer the following question based on the above passage:

What does the text say about Public Trustees in Colorado?

answer: Colorado's Public Trustee system is unique among the 50 states and dates back to the Silver Crisis of the 1890s. Public Trustees are set up to provide a relatively inexpensive process that ensures fairness for everyone concerned. These Public Trustees appointments are made by the State's Governor. In 2020, the Legislature passed HB19-1295, which mandates that the currently appointed Public Trustee positions will be eliminated and County Treasurers will assume the Public Trustee duties.

answer: In Colorado, public trustees are in charge of the foreclosure proceedings in the state. They are repositories for liable judgments and the enforcement of subordination bonds. This gives them a lot of power in a judicial state such as Colorado. However in 2020, they will be hived off to county treasurers, who will be taking over the duties that a public trustee has been performing.

text: "They are repositories for liable judgments and the enforcement of subordination bonds. This gives them a lot of power in a judicial state such as Colorado." - this was never mentioned anywhere in the text.

text: Add a comma after "However"

refinement: In Colorado, public trustees are in charge of the foreclosure proceedings in the state. However, in 2020, they will be hived off to county treasurers, who will be taking over the duties that a public trustee has been performing.

text: "they will be hived off" - this doesn't make any sense.

refinement: In Colorado, public trustees are in charge of the foreclosure proceedings in the state. However, in 2020, all currently appointed Public Trustee positions will be eliminated and County Treasurers will be taking over the duties that they have been performing.

answer: Colorado's Public Trustee system is unique and dates back to the SIlver Crisis of the 1890s; at that time, Colorado was suffering a depression, and many people were losing property to foreclosure, so the state legislature established the trustee system to provide relatively inexpensive processes and ensure fairness for everyone. The office is required to be self-funded. The Public Trustees for the largest counties are appointed by the Governor, but in other counties, the County Treasurer serves as the Public Trustee. In 2019, the legislature passed a bill mandating that the Public Trustee positions be dissolved in July 2020, and County Treasurers would take over their duties.

refinement: In Colorado, Public Trustees date back to the Silver Crisis of the 1890s, when the state was in a deep depression and residents were losing their property to foreclosure.

They are viewed as separate and independent from county offices and must be self-funded. In 2019, the Colorado legislature passed a bill that mandated all Public Trustee positions be transferred to County Treasurers.

answer: Colorado's Public Trustee system is unique among the 50 states and dates back to the Silver Crisis of the 1890s. Public Trustees in Colorado are tasked with providing a relatively inexpensive process that ensures fairness for everyone concerned. The Public Trustees serve at the discretion of the Governor and were formerly appointed in larger counties, but as of HB19-1295, County Treasurers will become responsible for the duties of Public Trustees beginning in 2020.

_Stranger Things_ bosses originally had a much different vision for the series — and it did not include fans actually seeing the Upside-Down.

The shadowy underworld has become one of the most iconic parts of the Netflix horror show, with much of the conflict of both previous seasons taking place there. But that wasn't always the plan!

In the new book _Stranger Things: Worlds Turned Upside Down_, co-creator Matt Duffer reveals that he thought the Upside-Down — or the Nether, as it was first known — would work best if viewers heard about it but never saw it.

[stranger things 2 mind flayer]

Netflix

In fact, the original concept was tipped to take place entirely in a coastal town called Montauk.

"We were never going to go into the Nether, as we originally called it," Matt Duffer says. "We were only planning to hear this other dimension over radios and walkie-talkies.

"We thought that'd be scarier. What we don't see is often scarier than what we do. And that worked for a while. But once we got five hours in, we felt the show really needed to open up, expand.

"It just became increasingly obvious: we had to go into the Upside-Down."

[Stranger Things: The egg in the Upside-Down]

Netflix

That decision opened a gateway to Shadow Monsters, Demo-Dogs and the Demogorgon itself – the latter of whom is played on set by actual actor Mark Steger on stilts in a specially-augmented suit.

"All these monster movies we grew up loving, _Aliens_ being the biggest, [the creature] was a stunt guy in a suit, or a movement artist in a suit," co-creator Ross Duffer explained. "We wanted something that, if you're a kid and you're in school and you're doodling, you could just sort of sketch this monster out.

"I think there's a danger sometimes now – because you can do anything you want with computer graphics – that you can overcomplicate things. There's an elegant simplicity to the Xenomorph's design. I think that makes it much more iconic."

“The world knew its mother was returning. It began to prepare like a bird protects its nest or as a mother deer eats her baby’s waste. Everything changed before anyone realized it was changing. At some time, somebody thought the globe was heating up too much. It was like a comforting flame in the fireplace, though, and not the suicidal oven everyone predicted. Just one more thing for her it was later seen. The disease was nature’s greatest sacrifice. So many things changed then.

“The disease mostly just killed humans. It would break them down and turn their insides to water before they died. Most plants became inedible to humans. But, if you did eat them, you caught the disease, although animals seemed unharmed. The spirits of animals were awakened as they hadn’t been in many years. It seemed rabbits and squirrels scurried everywhere, that bears and wolves were twice as big and fearless. The deer were the uniquely altered. The herds grew and they relearned an old tongue, unspoken for generations. Their eerie clicks and chirps pealed through the forest each evening.

“Most affected were still the humans. Certainly, a great many died from the disease, but those who didn’t were the Callisto of progress—something far more mystical than what was called evolution, but betterment nonetheless. Indians got sick, but none died. One night, deer came into the reservation towns, snorting ancient rhythms like the drums. Indians woke up. Their bones felt the old songs, and everyone sang. The sick were healed. The old ways returned.

“The United States’ Department of Natural Resources studied the first changes curiously. Soon, it became apparent that nature was being reshaped into something unknown. They began massive conservation efforts to preserve everything as it had been. At first, they tried to control pollution and invasive animals, but after the disease that had to be abandoned. There were not enough people left. Then, when it became apparent that wild game was the sole source of food, the DNR found its leverage. It seemed as if a Senate or President hardly mattered anymore, it was the DNR whom the citizens obeyed.

“Now in control, the DNR doubled its conservation efforts. Studying whatever they had the resources for, they discovered that they hated what nature was doing. They wondered what had happened to forests of concrete and stars of streetlights. Despite what nature was doing elsewhere, the DNR in patches prevailed preserving things as they had been and always fighting for more. They wanted conservation above all things, the conservation of what had passed away.

“Then, Mother returned. No one knew she was coming, but we should have known the signs. The DNR called her a demon; we loved her as a god. She would guide us, give us counsel. The old ways had brought her back. She blessed us and taught us about our new world. She would say, ‘How beautiful is this world! Would you do anything to protect it?’

“The DNR met with her early on, to try and make out what she intended. It was not hard for them to understand that she wanted nature to prosper. She saw their conservation as a mother sees her child’s first art. Obviously threatened, the DNR began attacking. They would burn forests and kill animals. Once, after they had slaughtered most of a herd of deer, some Indians joined in the survivors song of mourning.

“I’m not sure if the DNR had forgotten the people living off of the land, but they were surprised. They invited us into their cities, assuming we would be with them. But, how could we desert the mother? She came and she told us, ‘We must protect this world! Would you die for me?’ And we would die for her. We began attacking DNR agents in the forests. We never went to their cities, because there were too many of them.

“A war of sorts began. They saw us as minions of a demon trying to destroy nature. So, they began fighting back. People died on every side. But, Mother urged us, ‘You are protecting the world! Don’t I deserve your life?’ We all gave our lives. Every living Indian came together. We fought and we died. Because I was too old, I just remembered. I saw the story and wrote the songs, even though there is no one left for me to pass it onto. Mother came to me and said, ‘The world has been saved! Go and tell the enemy of your victory.’

“So, I walked for a week to come to you. No one had told me how many of you had been killed. It was another week before I even saw traces of anyone. I thought maybe I was alone in this world. But, tonight you found me as I was eating this meal. Now you have heard my story.”

Billy Little-Fawn sat on the ground next to a pit of embers. The bones of a rabbit had been thrown into a hole. He intended to bury it before he left. A weary DNR agent, watched an old man who could not escape tell his story. He looked at the agent, who smiled showing small pieces of leaves stuck in his teeth. Billy covered his hole. Then, the DNR agent shot him between the eyes. Afterward, he staggered away. He threw himself on the ground to sleep. Something like sweat seeped from his pours, and the man never woke up.

“That’s the last of them,” said Mother.

How does the Department of National Resources react to the disease?

answer: Initially, the DNR attempted to control pollution and invasive animals, but after the disease that proved impossible. Instead, the DNR used their control to attempt to preserve things as they had been. They saw Mother's bid to improve nature as a threat and began attacking, including killing animals and burning forests. The Indians retaliated and began attacking the DNR agents in the forests.

answer:
There's been a large disease that destroyed a lot of humanity, but left all animals alive.

The story's setting is in the future where humans have had to integrate with the animal life around them, and while the humans have come to accept the animals, the animals have decided that humans are supposed to simply be killed.

text:
The setting is a medium sized room in what could be a hospice, or maybe a nursing home. The room is sparsely furnished, without anything uunnecessary giving the room an empty feeling. On one side of the room there is a Queen sized bed, the sheets are made perfectly, with what could only be practiced methodicism. On the other side of the room there are some bay windows, the windows are closed and the light curtains are drawn letting in little light, outside it is twilight, giving the room a dark yellow tinge . In one corner there is a dresser, the dresser top has been organized in such a way to draw the observer's attention to one picture in specific. The majority of the light from the window hangs on the top of the dresser, which is filled with picture frames and pictures from what seems like another universe, next to the pictures are letters and medals for honor and bravery.

 Next to the dresser is a rocking chair with an old man sitting in it. His frame is well built, with broad shoulders and a thick neck. The Man's best years behind him, his skin now hangs off of him much like the drapes from the top of the bay window. The Man is slowly rocking back and forth muttering truths the world has long forgotten, but remain true to him. His face looks as though he just swallowed something very bitter, a grimace of sorts.
The door to the rest of the building slowly creaks open and The Lawyer walks in. The Lawyer is a skinny man, with pale, almost transparent skin. His suit is unimpressive, the most interesting accessory is his tortoise rimmed glasses, which frame his empty pale eyes. The Lawyer's face is devoid of any wrinkles, much like that of a baby, and if he wasn't fully grown it wouldn't surprise The Man if he started crying and asking for his mother's breast. When The Lawyer shuts the door quietly behind him the room takes on a cool eerie feeling, much as if it had transformed from a home to a cold, damp graveyard. The light from the window seems to bend towards The Lawyer, and the dresser top dims noticeably as The Lawyer takes a seat near the door.
There is a moment of silence before The Man begins, with a voice that needs convincing:

The Man: It's not so bad, you know.

The Lawyer says nothing, just giving the same unblinking stare as before.

The Man: At first I was worried, scared even. It isn't everyday that I have been so closely acquainted with my mortality. I can count the number of times on one hand, in fact... But this time I don't think they'll give me a metal hahaha!

The Lawyer remains motionless, simply watching the man. The Lawyer is so still to the audience it would seem he isn't even breathing. Clearly unsettled the man argumentatively continues:

The Man: Not much of a talker, are you? Well, that's alright. I don't feel like having a conversation anyway.

There is a silence for a while before The Man shifts uncomfortably in his seat. It is clear that The Man does want a conversation. The Man by turns takes glances at the dresser top and The Lawyer before continuing:

The Man: It really isn't so bad... It's Father's day, if you don't already know. I am a father myself. I have two boys, well, they were boys. It seems silly calling them that now, they could toss me over their shoulders if they chose to. (The Man laughs a little, not robustly like before, but knowingly. Confidently.) Yeah, they've grown up... I won't pretend I was the perfect father, in some ways I was the worst. I look at all these pictures and I noticed something, would you like to know what I noticed?

The Lawyer moves for the first time, slowly dropping his head into a nod. The Lawyer's hair doesn't move, his suit doesn't crinkle, almost as if he were a plastic replica of a real man.

The Man: Alright, I noticed that, in all these pictures everyone is always smiling.  No one ever takes pictures of the times when no one is smiling. But that isn't the truth, is it? (The Man clears his throat awkwardly it is clear that he isn't used to talking about something so personal)
No. No one takes pictures of the bad times, only the good times. Why should that be? It should be easy to remember the good... It seems to me, that the good always fades behind the bad, it's easier to remember the hard stuff. There's some irony in that. And now here I sit, close to the end, and all I feel is regret. All the bad sticks out in my mind and the voices of the mistakes I made call out to me across the years, but then, I look at these pictures, and I remember the good stuff. Like, like this one (The Man enthusiastically points to the picture in the middle of the dresser, the picture is faded, but four figures can be made out. Three men and a Woman)

That's my family, or, it was before my wife died. And then I just couldn't keep them together. I just had too many expectations. I wanted something else for my sons, and all they wanted was to be their own men. I regret that I hadn't let them live their own lives I thought I knew what they wanted, but my desire for them overrode what I should have been doing: let them grow on their own. That's what I am doing now though, right? (The Man's eyes haven't left the picture, a pause) I lived my dream. Now they live theirs. I'm passing the torch. When I realize that, I know the only truth: I lived the dream. It's time for them to do it on their own. I think that, and I can only be happy. This is one of those times that a picture should be taken. So people can remember the happy time.

The Man's face curls into a smile, a genuine smile. The Man kept rocking, but the rocking was less lively. Next to him the heart monitor goes dead. A monotone beep is heard throughout the room, and nurses rush in to see if they can save The Man. They pay no attention to The Lawyer, almost as if he isn't there, going around him like a large rock in a river. The Lawyer gets up and looks more closely at the picture on the dresser. The four people are smiling, everyone is happy, like the best kind dream you could have. The corner of The Lawyer's mouth curled up into a whimsical smirk before he left to a room just down the hall.
