02 UGNN : Fred Showker's Mug Musings from around the world 1610-10
InfoManager : what's new online Gathering the musings has become very disappointing - when 80% of the content flow is political garbage in poor taste. I scraped together what I could for this issue, and I'm seriously looking forward to the END of the campaigns - thank goodness these user group members could stay on task :
* Steve Jobs' widow gives two L.A. teachers $10 million to start a school
* Angry customer casually smashes up iPhones in a French Apple Store
* This New Mac scent candle makes your house smell like an unboxing
* You Can Finally Delete Built-In iOS Apps, but Should You?
* Fix Schedule for ScanSnap Compatibility with macOS Sierra
* Long Live Yosemite! You've got a year.
* Turn off wi-fi assist

03 Google's AI Plans Are A Privacy Nightmare
Gizmodo: "Artificial intelligence is all the rage in Silicon Valley these days, as technology companies race to build the first killer app that utilizes machine learning and image recognition. ... But there's a pivotal downside to the company's latest creation: Because of the very nature of artificial intelligence, our data is less secure than ever before, and technology companies are now collecting even more personal information about each one of us."

07 MovieMerge+ brings back intuitive video editing no longer available in iMovie
Since Apple ruined iMovie, it's been really difficult to snap out good, high quality editing. Once upon a time you could assemble a series of video takes into a superb video in just minutes. Now, thank goodness for MovieMerge+! MovieMerge+ helps professional and amateur video content creators who need a simple, easy-to-use tool for organizing and joining a collection of video clips together into a single movie - exactly like iMovie was originally intended. This update includes expanded undo support, timeline presets, swipe-to-delete and a variety of other minor user interface enhancements.

08 The Disconnect Between Tech Savvy Users and Average Users
Mr. iTunes, Kirk McElhearn, writes an insightful short rant on where he's coming from ... and we quote :
I write about technology for a living. I explain how technology works, and I write for self-described tech geeks, as well as for "average users," and even technophobes. Naturally, not all of my articles or books are targeted at this broad an audience. In my Macworld articles, I may write, say, about how to manage Apple's Time Machine backup feature using the command line, or I may answer reader questions about simple features in the iOS 10 Music app.
