Along with lots of operating system updates including iOS 16.4, Apple released a new app this week: Apple Music Classical.

A great picture of Steve Jobs has been circulating the Internet this week after it was released by The Steve Jobs Archive in a newsletter. (You can see the picture here.) It was taken in February 1984 when Steve Jobs was in New Orleans on O'Keefe Avenue, just a few blocks from my law office, and the picture shows Jobs peering into a store window to try to figure...
