Apple's Worldwide Developer's Conference wasn't only about a virtual reality headset. The Cupertino tech giant also showed off new features coming soon to their products including the iPhone, Apple Watch and more.iOS 17 is expected to arrive in the fall and it's focused on making the iPhone more personalized and even easier to communicate.For starters, you'll be able to create a customized "Contact Poster." This is basically a personalized contact card that will be shown on the lock screen when you call someone else's phone. Think of it as an expanded version of the little profile picture and name that you can see when someone sends you an iMessage.A new AirDrop feature called NameDrop will make exchanging phone numbers and contact information easier. All you have to do is bring an iPhone or Apple Watch near someone else's and you can swap info. It's reminiscent of an app called Bump which was popular back when the iPhone first launched.Live Voicemail is a new feature that will help...Anaheim homeowner wounded in armed home invasion

Francis Mercier Prepares for Sound: NY based, Haitian producer/DJ Francis Mercier plays a headline show at Sound Nightclub on Friday, having recently performed both weekends of Coachella. It’s fair to say this has been a good year so far for the artist.Mercier started DJing during his freshman year in college after his friends took him to a Tiesto & Armin van Buuren show.“After hearing them play, I fell in love with electronic music and wanted to play on a stage like that one day,” he says. “During my latter years of college, I began DJing in New York which is when things began to get serious for me.”He describes his sound today as, “culturally and ethnically rich sound that comprises deep, melodic, and worldly elements.” Meanwhile, he feels that the current state of electronic music is “leaning towards mainstream adoption of underground music.”“The genres that I especially love – Afro/Ethnic/Middle Eastern house ...San Francisco homicide: Man shot in Lower Haight

LOS GATOS — Steve Mariucci’s analysis on the 49ers’ quarterback predicament? Options abound, starting with Brock Purdy.‘If everyone were healthy, and I hope that it will be that way soon, then to me, it’s Brock Purdy’s job,” said Mariucci, an NFL Network analyst who served as the 49ers’ coach from 1997-2002.This offseason’s No. 1 question, unanswerable for now, is precisely when Purdy will be healthy, after March 10 surgery to repair his elbow’s ulnar collateral ligament that got torn in the NFC Championship Game loss at Philadelphia.So, as a coach, when do you make that call?“I would wait until he shows that he’s healthy,” Mariucci said Tuesday, at his 25th annual charity bocce tournament at Campo di Bocce.“You’ve gotta watch practice,” Mariucci added. “You gotta gauge his pain threshold. You gotta gauge his accuracy and arm strength on the practice field. You gotta evaluate that arm.”The 49er...More scam calls and one reader’s way of handling them: Roadshow

Q: Like many other people, I am irritated with multiple unwanted calls about auto and other warranties, even after multiple attempts to place myself on the Do Not Call List. I take a page out of Jerry Seinfeld’s comedy show. I choose prompt #1 to speak to a representative. When the person answers the call, I ask for their home phone # so I can call them multiple times a day. I ask when they eat dinner and go to sleep. I explain that it seems like those would be great times to call them.They usually hang up. A few get upset. I know it does not stop the next call to my phone, but I tie up their phone lines for a few minutes and it gives me a little smile.Tim Pasqua, MilpitasA: Scam calls are very frustrating. Ignore them.Q: I vehemently disagree with recent comments regarding closure of the downtown ramp to Highway 17 to avoid congestion in Los Gatos. As a tax-paying Los Gatos resident who lives on Black Road, my family and I rely on that ramp to get into town and home every day...California puts a price on slavery’s legacy and draws a blueprint for reparations
Published Mon, 23 Dec 2024 13:37:30 GMT
By Karen Breslau | BloombergThe numbers are striking in their precision. The statistical value of each year of human life, accounting for racial differences in life expectancy: $13,619. Wealth missing due to lower rates of Black home ownership: $148,099. Average devaluation of Black-owned businesses: $77,000. Each year of disproportionate incarceration factored by race, combining lost wages and freedom: $159,792.These calculations by California’s Task Force to Study and Develop Reparation Proposals for African Americans, buried in the nearly 500-page draft of a report that will go to the state legislature in late June, belie the complexity and raw emotion underlying the first state-level effort to provide compensation for the legacy of slavery and discrimination in the US. By even considering reparations for harms that have compounded for centuries, California is transforming what has been a largely theoretical concept into a detailed model that may be adopted elsewhere as others al...Juvenile dies in fatal pedestrian collision in San Jose
