What Is and What Might Never Be

The first Pixel Fold 2 specs and design leaks have dropped‚ teasing massive changes compared to last year. As always with rumors‚ there are no guarantees the information in these leaks is accurate. But remember that most Pixel leaks turn out to be accurate‚ as Google can't‚ or won't‚ keep any Pixel secrets.  I'm getting this disclaimer out of the way early because I'm surprised to see the massive changes that Google might give the second Pixel Fold generation. Then I realized my expectations had been modeled by Samsung's foldables evolution in the past few years.  Samsung was the only foldable game in town internationally‚ so Samsung never took big risks with its new foldables. Each year would deliver minor changes to the Fold and Flip design.  Then‚ the foldable game changed completely last year. It wasn't just Google that launched a Galaxy Z Fold rival. Chinese smartphone vendors brought their foldables to international markets‚ complete with innovations more exciting than Samsung ever dared to put out.  Interestingly‚ Google is taking a similar approach with the Pixel Fold 2. The next phone will not be identical to the first-gen model. And it might rock better specs than you'd expect from Google. Continue reading...

Apple is phasing out iTunes for Windows. Years after the company broke down its legendary software for the Mac into Apple Music‚ Apple Podcasts‚ and Apple TV+‚ it's finally time for Windows users to have a similar experience. If you're running Windows 10 and open the iTunes app‚ it will ask you to download the new apps for the best standalone experience. The Apple Music app features an updated UI‚ lossless playback‚ time-synced lyrics‚ and 4K Music Videos. This new experience ensures that users get everything they expect‚ including their library and AirPlay.  With the new Apple TV app for Windows‚ users can access all the same amazing original Apple TV+ programming‚ along with their library and purchased or rented video content. There are also 4K playback and Subscription channels on Windows for the first time‚ along with being able to watch MLS Season Pass. The new Devices app will allow users to update‚ sync‚ and back up their Apple devices‚ and the iTunes app will continue to be the home for Podcasts and Audiobooks. Image source: Apple Inc. In addition‚ Apple redesigned the iCloud for Windows app to provide more clarity on how it syncs content across devices and where users can access it on their PCs. It includes a new onboarding and setup experience‚ displays an informative syncing status that shows the progress of uploading and downloading content from iCloud‚ and more. iTunes might be dying‚ and I wish Apple introduced the perfect replacement While Mac users haven't had iTunes for years now‚ I still miss how it aggregated all content in one place. Currently‚ the Music app is the true iTunes replacement as it also offers the iTunes Stor. However‚ design-wise‚ I find the app inconsistent with the Music experience available on iOS devices. Some areas of the app are full of blank spaces‚ and it's not like Apple was careful to reimagine it; it's still very similar to the old iTunes app‚ but you need to open the Podcasts app to find your perfect show and so on. Image source: José Adorno for BGR The Apple TV app‚ on the other hand‚ at least is very similar to its iOS and tvOS counterparts‚ but I wish the company would discontinue the Sidebar for another experience‚ as it just feels too vintage. Starting to phase out iTunes for Windows was definitely the right move‚ but I hope Apple rebuilds some of these apps for an experience that doesn't remind iTunes‚ as it's no longer the reason why these apps exist in the first place. Lastly‚ I hope Podcasts and Books apps are coming to Windows users soon‚ as the iTunes app has lost all its identity‚ although it will still be used for podcasts and audiobooks. Weird. Here’s what you can use instead Since we're talking about iTunes for Windows‚ the wonderful world of PCs offers third-party iTunes alternative apps. Although using Apple's own solutions might be quicker and simpler if you're one of those purists who have ripped all your CDs to your PC and want to keep listening to songs that way‚ an alternative app might bring the best experience of the old days of iTunes. MediaMonkey: If you want full control of your music library‚ this app could be the perfect iTunes replacement‚ as you can choose to import by folder or by media type. You can also choose specific music to copy between your PC and iPhone or your entire library. It's free to use‚ but there's a gold license‚ so you can take advantage of its full potential. TouchCopy: Similar to iTunes‚ but with a very Windows look‚ you can organize your music library‚ transfer all your important audio files‚ export messages‚ call history‚ and backup photos to a PC or Mac. The app is free to use‚ but you can purchase a license to enjoy its features. Waveform Music Player: Lastly‚ Waveform works exactly like iTunes (you can sync music but also your iPhone)‚ create playlists‚ download missing album/artist artwork‚ and more. All in a simple interface. The app is free to use.

Elton John continues to thrive despite past challenges‚ including prostate cancer‚ and he is set to receive the Library of Congress Gershwin Prize for Popular Song at the tribute concert in DAR Constitution Hall this April. John and Bernie Taupin will also be accorded the same honor alongside Elton‚ who has earned the Emmy‚ Grammy‚ Oscar‚ and Tony status (EGOT) to his name.

However‚ Elton was nearing his 70s when he discovered he had prostate cancer that required urgent attention. “I didn’t really know how close to death I was‚” he revealed in his memoir. “I had tubes coming out of every part of my body‚ and it took me seven weeks to recover from that when I went home.” RELATED: 50 Years Ago‚ Elton John Wrote This Beloved Christmas Song In Just One Day He suffered more complications‚ including a “harmful and unusual bacterial infection” and incontinence‚ forcing him to hold back from performing to recover fully. “The time I spent recuperating was the answer to my prayers. It was like being shown a different life‚ a life I realized I loved more than being on the road‚” Elton‚ who had missed his kids‚ said at the time. Instagram A recent study published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine said that men who partook in cardiorespiratory fitness activities like running‚ swimming‚ and cycling are 35% less likely to get prostate cancer. Other forms of such exercise include jumping rope‚ tennis‚ and brisk walking‚ which Elton tries to adopt. London‚ UK.

At my age‚ that is the best thing I can do‚” he shared. “I walk sideways and do about six miles a week.” Such workouts help improve the heart and lungs’ capacity to supply oxygen to the muscles‚ thereby enhancing overall health.
