Your country might be great but does it follow Australia’s lead by colour-coordinating its currency with the nation’s favourite snack foods?

Tony Fadell is known as the “Father of the iPod”
He had spent years trying to build up a small digital music startup called Fuse.
But by 2001 his company was out of money.
By stroke of luck, while on vacation in January 2001, he revived a phone call by no other than Jon Rubinstein!
Apple wanted his help building a new mp3 player.
He accepted a 6 week consulting roll within Apple and got to work.
In that time, he built 3 prototypes which lead up to a big presentation directly to Steve Jobs.
He pitched the iPod using styrofoam blocks & fishing weights to simulate its physical weight and feel
Jobs immediately rejected the first two larger hard drive or bulky options…
Fadell then pulled a hidden 3rd prototype from his coat and handed it to Steve.
The 3rd version was a perfect balance of shape and size. Jobs picked up the weighted block, turned it over in his hands to feel its weight and form factor, thought about it for a moment and said:
“Let's do this"
A month later Tony was officially hired by Apple and named Senior Director of the iPod & Special Projects engineering group.
The rest was history.
25 years ago today, we introduced the iPod. 1,000 songs in your pocket.
A small team. An unforgiving deadline. We had months to bring the hardware, software, and music experience together. Proud of what we built and that it means so much to people still today. A device that has been woven in many ways into our lives. People have filled their iPods with road trips, breakups, workouts, special occasions with family and friends.
How cool that the iPod has become part of culture and our stories. 25 years, it’s hard to believe! Celebrating the team that made it happen today 👏

This week on @hyperfixedpod — Sanderson stopped making his podcast years ago, but a few months ago it started up again. But this time it was being made by stealing sanderson’s voice with AI, making him say the exact opposite of what he believes. hyperfixedpod.com/listen/hyp…

16 October 1984. 1st regular episode of ITV police drama The Bill was broadcast. The series focused on the lives and work of one shift of police work. There were 26 series and 2,425 episodes until 31 August 2010.
If TAbbott and the like are concerned it probably means it is effective at protecting people. Apparently there is concern about the word causing harm. But I’m sure by now there is a lot of cases that help define that. Calling it censorship is emotive and misleading.
Today Anika Wells introduced the Digital Duty of Care bill to Parliament. @shellenberger explains why we should be very concerned.
