APPLE'S COOK SAYS HE ‘WILL MISS THIS WORK' IN FINAL MEMO AS CEO

Despite saying he'll miss the role of chief executive officer, Tim Cook has enormous comfort in the leadership of John Ternus, his replacement. Cook took over as Apple's CEO in August 2011. His 15-year tenure included the launch of the Apple Watch, AirPods, and major expansions to the iPhone, iPad, and Mac lines. Cook will remain as executive chairman, where his role will include working with governments around the world.

THE FUTURE TECH ROLE IS THE PRODUCT ARCHITECT

Coding is moving from humans to agents. The human role is moving towards what should be built, defining how systems should work, and verifying results. The person deciding what should exist also needs to understand the system in which it will run. The product architect role owns the whole loop - it involves understanding the problem, deciding on a solution, designing the system, setting constraints, directing agents, and verifying what gets built.

GOOGLE HAS REMOVED MANIFEST V2 EXTENSIONS FROM THE CHROME WEB STORE, INCLUDING UBLOCK ORIGIN

All remaining Manifest V2 extensions have been removed from the Chrome Web Store. Manifest V2 extensions installed on Chrome 138 or earlier will remain installed. However, they will be unable to receive any updates and cannot be reinstalled from the Chrome Web Store once removed from Chrome. Users will no longer be able to find or install Manifest V2 extensions through the Chrome Web Store even if the Chromium-based browser they use continues to support Manifest V2.

INVISIBLE COMPANIES

Invisible companies remain invisible primarily because no one is paying attention to them. There are several reasons this could happen: they could be unknown, data about their existence or profitability is private, missing, or obscure, they are misunderstood, or they are disdained. Over time, the market should make these invisible companies visible, but that's not what happens. Thinking about invisible companies means thinking about strategy in a new way.
