Night Shift is now available on your Mac so you can finally get some damn sleep

Mashable

Thankfully, Night Shift is here to save the day (er, night). Spending long hours staring at a computer has its ill effects, one of which being that the blue light pouring out of the screen is thought to wreak havoc on people's circadian rhythms. This in turn makes it harder to fall asleep at night once that laptop is eventually put away. In other words, your beloved MacBook might be messing up your slumber time. MacOS' Sierra 10.12.4 update takes care of that inconvenience by making standard a feature that once required the third-party app f.lux.


Can Foxconn Unlock Sharp's True Potential?

#artificialintelligence

As I detailed back in November in Sharp: A Cautionary Tale, the former electronics giant Sharp (OTCPK:SHCAY; OTCPK:SHCAF) has seen better days. Over the past several years, Sharp's financial statements have been like a disaster zone of its own making. Predictably, Sharp's most recent and final full year performance statement was also disastrous. The strength of the yen1 and weakness of the global economy will continue to make sure of that. However, on March 30th, 2016, after state-sponsored Japan Display Inc. (OTC:JPDYY) of the Innovation Network Group failed to make a competing offering, Hon Hai/Foxconn Technology Group (OTC:HNHAF; OTC:HNHAY; OTC:FXCOF) finalized a much talked-about deal to acquire a 66% stake in Sharp - priced at 3.5 billion2, about 2.75 billion less than its original offer but 1.22 billion higher than Sharp's market cap at the time of the purchase.
