How about them Apples?


MADISON, Wis. — Jason H. once said that Apple Computer's strategy is based "solely on personifying PCs as a flailing asexual dorkbag." Well, the company is establishing an on-the-ground presence to make that strategy work here in Madison.

Yes, West Towne Mall is getting an Apple store.

The sign on the door says simply, "Coming soon."

You cannot know how happy this news makes me; I will at last be able to steer my parents to a local resource when they can't figure out how to open a folder or replace the hard drive in their Mini.

Yet consider the political environment in 2024 for incumbent parties: across the world this year, each governing party facing election has lost vote share. Every single one. (This is the first time that had ever happened.) No one would suggest that Democrats pat themselves on the back when the result of their efforts is a Donald Trump victory.

USC goes commando

Paperweights have become paperweights

When something goes unused or becomes obsolete, it's said to become a paperweight. Is your cellphone slow and out of date? It's become a paperweight. Is your laptop too slow to use? It's become a paperweight. Do you never use your Apple Vision Pro? It's become a paperweight. Weirdly, paper itself has become a paperweight. People do their work on laptops, tablets, and phones. Most homes don't have printers. Not only do we not need paperweights, we barely need paper!
