Don't expect the M2 MacBook Pro and Mac mini until next year

The rumor mill about Apple launching M2-powered Macs this November was churning, but now it seems we'll have to wait until next year.

According to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, Apple isn't planning to release new versions of the 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pros until the beginning of 2023. Those hoping for new Macs might have to wait until March, per Gurman's prediction. Both Gurman and Apple insider Ming-Chi Kuo said the new MacBook Pros will have the latest M2 chip and that we might get a new Mac mini also upgraded with an M2 chip.

Insiders initially expected a third round of product launches to follow Apple's September iPhone 14 event and October M2 iPad Pro, entry-level iPad, and Apple TV 4K announcement. But that is no longer the case. During last Thursday's quarterly earnings call, Apple CEO Tim Cook effectively confirmed this by saying the product line is "set" for the rest of the year. While Apple reported strong earnings this past quarter, unlike Meta, Amazon, and Snapchat which underperformed. But the tech giant is not immune to macroeconomic and supply chain woes, which possibly accounts for the delay.

When the clocks change for Daylight Saving Time, and why we do it at all

The clocks on our smartphones do something bizarre twice a year: One day in the spring, they jump ahead an hour, and our alarms go off an hour sooner. We wake up bleary-eyed and confused until we remember what just happened. Afterward, "Daylight Saving Time" becomes the norm for about eight months (And yes, it's called "Daylight Saving" not "Daylight Savings." I don't make the rules). Then, in the fall, the opposite happens. Our clocks set themselves back an hour, and we wake up refreshed, if a little uneasy.  Mild chaos ensues at both annual clock changes. What feels like an abrupt and drastic lengthening or shortening of the day causes time itself to seem fictional. Babies and dogs demand that their old sleep and feeding habits remain unchanged. And more consequential effects — for better or worse — may be involved as well (more on which in a minute). Changing our clocks is an all-out attack on our perception of time as an immutable law of ...

A speeding black hole is birthing baby stars across light years

Astronomers think they have discovered a supermassive black hole traveling away from its home galaxy at 4 million mph — so fast it's not doing what it's notorious for: sucking light out of the universe. Quite the opposite, possibly. Rather than ripping stars to shreds and swallowing up every morsel, this black hole is believed to be fostering new star formation, leaving a trail of newborn stars stretching 200,000 light-years through space . Pieter van Dokkum, an astronomy professor at Yale University, said as the black hole rams into gas, it seems to trigger a narrow corridor of new stars, where the gas has a chance to cool. How exactly it works, though, isn't known, said van Dokkum, who led research on the phenomenon captured by NASA 's Hubble Space Telescope accidentally. A paper on the findings was published last week in The Astrophysical Journal Letters . “What we’re seeing is the aftermath," he said in a statement . "Like the wake behind a ship, we’r...
