As Apple itself implied was the case in an investor note last week, iPhone sales are taking a hit in China due to the ongoing coronavirus situation. In a new investor note today, UBS analysts estimate that iPhone sales fell 28% during January. As reported by Bloomberg, the UBS analysts say that iPhone demand fell 28% month-over-month in January. That’s a “bigger decline than usual for that time of year.” A decline from December to January is expected in China given the seasonality of iPhone sales, but UBS implies that the decline was sharper this year than has been in past years....

The BIOS is a privileged piece of software that is generally ignored by day to day users and thus they are usually unable to comprehend the importance of it in our computers. The Basic Input/Output System was first invented by Gary Kildall for use in his operating system CP/M and this became what we now know as the conventional BIOS system. The BIOS appeared in IBM compatible PC’s around 1975 and was used extensively in the CP/M operating system....

Ever since Ant-Man and the Wasp hit theaters and became a modest box office success, a third movie in the pint-sized superhero’s MCU solo franchise has been on the cards. But it’s been a year and a half since that movie came out, and Marvel hasn’t given a release date to a threequel.

Vampire and witch fall madly in love with each other in the span of a week, despite common sense and the rules against interspecies relationships that may stand in their way. That’s the basic gist of the series A Discovery of Witches, the British drama based on the All Souls trilogy by Deborah Harkness....

If you haven’t, we struggle to wonder why. Look at it this way: they get attention, money, and free products in exchange for their fit, sexy bodies.
