El Capitan is the new operating system, OS X 10 that Apple revealed in September with new improvements, which include a new Mission Control interface, Spotlight interactivity, pinned tabs for Safari and a split screen which allows you to use two apps simultaneously, side by side. El Capitan is 1.4 times faster than the other OS ‘Mavericks’.

But if you’ve stumbled upon some issues in the new operating system, don’t freak out. Apple just updated El Capitan with a number of bug fixes, compatibility with Office 2016 and 150 emoji characters.

The most important fix is to OS X 10.11.1, the enhanced installer reliability update. This update should remove some of the unpleasant issues, including restarts that happen without permission, automatically updates of the OS did not happen and the appearance of a blank screen that appeared and never went away.

Apple had also updated the Mail application that had an issue where messages and server information disappeared. Also the VoiceOver was a disaster when the new El Capitan OS was launched. It is good to know that the updated version will be cleaned up, won’t have any lags, delays or crashes within Safari, all this issues will be a thing of the past.

However now you don’t need to feel restricted by the English Language barrier, because Apple added 150 racially diverse emoji, to simply forget about the languages and use emoji to express our thoughts instead.

Other updates that Apple has released today are for iOS9, which also has a new set of emoji included and new wallpapers and for Watch 2.0.

Who doesn’t enjoy listening to a good story. Personally I love reading about the people who inspire me and what it took for them to achieve their success. As I am a bit of a self confessed tech geek I think there is no better way to discover these stories than by reading every day some articles or the newspaper . My bookcases are filled with good tech biographies, they remind me that anyone can be a success. So even if you come from an underprivileged part of society or you aren’t the smartest person in the room we all have a chance to reach the top. The same message shines in my beliefs. All it takes to succeed is a good idea, a little risk and a lot of hard work and any geek can become a success. VENI VIDI VICI .

One of Apple’s top mini-LED suppliers claims that while the company plans to switch to OLED displays for its iPad and MacBook line in the upcoming years, demand for displays in consumer products is declining while demand for mini-LED in other applications is increasing.

According to a recent report from DigiTimes, the demand for mini-LED displays for consumer electronics devices is declining, but it is anticipated that demand for mini-LED displays for dashboards and vehicle displays will increase in 2023. Epistar, which has been supplying mini-LED displays to Apple for some time, is one company that has made this claim.

The creation of particular kinds of OLED screens that Apple intends to utilize in next iPad Pro models, according to a report published last week, is now Samsung’s top priority. The first iPad Pro with an OLED panel, which Apple is rumored to introduce in 2024, has prompted mini-LED vendors to consider alternate applications for their screens, according to DigiTimes.

In 2024, Apple is also expected to release a 13-inch MacBook Air with an OLED display in addition to an OLED iPad Pro. According to reputable display analyst Ross Young, Apple is exploring adopting an OLED panel in a planned update to the iPhone SE but is torn between employing an LCD or OLED display.

Tim Cook, the CEO of Apple, is traveling to Washington, D.C., to meet with Republican lawmakers who will probably lead committees that regulate the tech sector.
Republican representatives Jim Jordan of Ohio, Darrel Issa of California, and Cathy McMorris Rogers of Washington are among those with whom Cook has booked meetings.

The meetings were probably planned several weeks, if not months, beforehand. Top conservatives have criticized Apple since the beginning, and many of them have joined with Twitter CEO Elon Musk in their recent dispute with Apple.

Jordan has publicly expressed his support for Elon Musk, as Bloomberg notes.

When the GOP wins over the House in 2023, Jordan is also set to serve as chair of the House Judiciary Committee. The House Energy and Commerce Committee’s chairman is most likely to be McMorris Rodgers.

They both will play a key role in developing the GOP’s technology policy agenda for 2023.

What is particularly on the agenda is unclear. Even when he is not called to testify about big tech, Cook travels to Washington, DC, on several occasions each year.
