The 2nd Generation AirPods Pro with USB-C — a mouthful of a model name — don't have any radical hardware changes. Apple's headphones are going far beyond the simple on-or-off noise-canceling features on competing devices. Apple calls the AirPods a "wearable," and reports it in the same revenue category as its Apple Watch. Apple frames Adaptive Audio as a safety feature, so users don't miss honks or disturbances when walking around cities.

BEIJING, Sept 11 (Reuters) - Heavy rains from a typhoon kept southern China drenched for the seventh day as slow-moving storm clouds drifted from Guangdong on the coast to Guangxi, flooding low-lying areas, blocking roads and trapping residents. Heavy rain is expected to persist in Guangxi over the next few days. Neighbouring Hong Kong was pelted by the worst storm in 140 years. "Typhoons that move far inland affect regions historically less exposed to heavy rainfall and strong wind, often with lower disaster resilience, leading to more severe losses," said Shao Sun, a climatologist at the University of California, Irvine.

☆ Apple buys Swedish classical record label

Apple has acquired BIS Records, a 50-year-old Swedish record label with a focus on classical music, as part of its continuing efforts to attract classical music fans. BIS Records founder Robert von Bahr said Tuesday that Apple recently bought his record company and will fold it into its Apple Music Classical and Platoon music services. The acquisition is another example of Apple attempting to distinguish itself from streaming-music rival Spotify by focusing on classical music. In 2021, it bought the classical music streaming service Primephonic for an undisclosed sum. Eventually, the tech giant debuted its own Apple Music Classical streaming app this past spring, pitching it as a way for current Apple Music subscribers to access over five million classical tracks that can be searched via data like composer, conductor or catalog number.

Two decades of satellite images have revealed that more than 56% of the world's oceans have seen significant changes in color. Scientists fear these color changes could be harbingers of yet another global crisis in ocean food chains as the planet warms. Greener oceans mean more life — and that's not necessarily goodThe color of the oceans can tell us a lot about their health. The ocean's color depends on what's in the upper layer of the water column. In the latest study, scientists used imagery from NASA's Aqua satellite, which has been monitoring ocean color changes for more than two decades.

The US and Chinese air forces are both thinking about how they'd try to control the air in a war. "It will be a struggle back and forth for air superiority," added Hinote, whose last position was as the Air Force's chief futurist. The most comprehensive is air supremacy, which the US Air Force defines as when "the opposing force is incapable of effective interference within the operational area using air and missile threats." The next level is air superiority, which the Air Force defines as "control of the air by one force that permits the conduct of its operations at a given time and place without prohibitive interference from air and missile threats."

Apple used to dominate the K-12 education market. By missing out on schools, Apple is losing the unique relationship it once had with students. Long before music was part of Apple's DNA and computers were something to be strapped to one's face, Apple was the de facto standard for K-12 education. Apple's share of the K-12 education market has been under siege since at least 2017 , when low-cost Windows computers and Google's affordable Chromebooks with its suite of cloud apps, began to own the market. But maybe more importantly, Google now owns the K-12 market because Apple appears to be uninterested in it.

Go with a growth mindsetPrior to ChatGPT's public launch, most managers had minimal experience using generative AI. That changed quickly as some businesses — including IBM — suggested that managers start using AI or risk losing their jobs. The better question for leaders is, "Do I believe I can learn to leverage generative AI in a productive way?" We are seeing this at an organizational level with AI, as some leaders put the brakes on using generative AI, based in part on perception of an AI-related skills gap among employees and the challenge of filling that. The conclusion here is that to get the best of generative AI, don't play into a dictator-servant relationship.
