Orangutan for kid

Apple has introduced a new website called Apple for Kids , offering parents an easy-to-access platform to track and manage what their kids are doing on iPhone, iPad, MacBook and other Apple devices. This website is part of the official Apple support platform and can be accessed at “support.apple.com/apple-for-kids”. The Apple for Kids website helps parents to reset passcodes and take action if kids have bought something accidentally. They can also manage family groups. Using the platform, parents can also help the child sign in to Apple devices with their Apple ID, create a device passcode, and use Family Sharing to access purchased apps and content. Other features include “Ask to Buy”, which lets parents grant kids permission from the family organizer before making a purchase. There’s an option to send Apple Cash and locate missing devices using Find My app. This platform can be used to prevent in-app purchases. “You can keep your kids from making … [Read more...] about Apple launches new website to help parents manage what their kids do on iPhone, iPad

Marie Ulven, a.k.a. Girl in Red , stops herself mid-apology — the kind you utter when you think you’re talking too fast or you’re unsure whether the listener gets your drift. “I’m not gonna say sorry,” the 22-year-old musician says firmly, breaking off from a discussion of her new album, If I Could Make It Go Quiet . “I don’t want to be that person who apologizes for everything. I’m not sorry. There you go, Marie. You’re the protagonist.” Even though Ulven is Zooming in from Oslo — with the camera off — her personality crackles across the miles and timezones. Delightfully verbose, snarkily self-deprecating, and “really bad at boundaries” (her words), Ulven has carved out a place for herself in indie rock by appealing to her listeners’ insecurities and yearnings. Her Girl in Red persona — think Billie Eilish’s self-aware bluster, mixed with a healthy splash of early ‘00s college rock — grapples in equal turns with mental health and sometimes unrequited lust. It’s a combination … [Read more...] about Girl in Red’s Supercharged Indie Rock Honesty

From a young age, I learned that sick is comfort; sick is to be cared for. When I stayed home with an earache in second grade, my dad didn’t double-check my homework or make me practice piano exercises twice on each hand. He brought me a bell so I could ring him and gave me three M&M’s for every dose of antibiotics that went down without a fuss. Undoubtedly, my penchant for minor ailments comes from a place of privilege. My physical body is healthy, which is why its occasional maladies have become phenomena that I get to relish. I recognise that chronic illness is another story, of course. But when I feel a cold coming on, I don’t stir Emergen-C and up my citrus intake, I lean in. My taste for illness solidified in high school, when I came down with mono. For two weeks, I lay in bed with a high fever while the kissing disease transformed my reputation. Along with the virus, I had contracted an air of mystery — the possibility that I was locking lips with someone my … [Read more...] about A celebration of the sick day: If you need that MC tomorrow, just take it

CUPERTINO: Apple unveiled three new iPhones on Wednesday (Sep 12) in a bid to maintain its position in the premium smartphone segment, along with new features for its smartwatch that allow users to take their own electrocardiogram or detect a fall. The California tech giant said it would begin selling its 5.8-inch iPhone XS and 6.5-inch iPhone XS Max later this month, keeping the starting price of the company's top-end model at US$999 but bumping the entry price for the version with the larger screen. Apple also announced a new iPhone XR starting at US$749, available in October, with a 6.1-inch display to broaden its pool of buyers. The new iPhones have more powerful processors and cameras, and a dual-SIM card feature for top-of-the-line devices. Home buttons were replaced with screen swipes, taps and facial recognition capabilities. "We are going to take iPhone X to the next level," chief executive Tim Cook said. The three phones are updates to last year's iPhone X … [Read more...] about Apple unveils new premium iPhone XS, health features for watch

It’s a Fancy Vivid Pink diamond. It weighs 18.96 carats. It has a name: The Pink Legacy. And no, that's not in reference to a girlie bar. Although, come to think of it, many of the top-grade, rosy-hued diamonds have somewhat louche monikers: The Pink Promise. The Sweet Josephine. Which makes you wonder if the industry is run by lonesome men. But in all seriousness, the world of coloured diamonds – especially pink diamonds – is big business, and increasingly so. The Pink Legacy is expected to fetch between US$30 million and US$50 million (S$41.3 million to S$68.8 million) at Christie's Magnificent Jewels sale in Geneva next week. READ: The Pink Legacy sells for US$50 million in Geneva And that’s not even broaching the record price. In April 2017, The Pink Star, a massive 59.60-carat rock, sold for US$71.2 million at a Sotheby’s sale in Hong Kong, becoming the most expensive gem to ever be auctioned. In Nov 2017, The Pink Promise sold for a lower absolute price at … [Read more...] about A pink diamond for S$69 million? Here’s why the stone is so valuable
