Now the question becomes --does anybody read magazines any more??? And why? There's your daily phone poll.Who's a PRINCE fan? BECK, for one. He just released a new EP which was recorded at Prince's legendary Paisley Park Studios and has some Beck tunes but also a medley of Prince covers, including "Kiss," "Raspberry Beret" and "1999."
What's next for the Apple folks? Bloomberg News reports the next iPad Pro may arrive in early 2020 with 3D sensors, and it'll have a pair of cameras and Apple's face-ID system to sign in and get access.
Big news as the folks at SpaceX launched 60 Starlink satellites Monday, as a precursor to putting a chain of satellites around the world so that people in poorer countries and ones with no real internet access can log on via satellite.
In fact, ELON MUSK reportedly has said he'd like to put as many as 30-thousand of his satellites in orbit --as well as the 12-thousand that have already been approved. Astronomers are pretty ticked off at all the additional points of light in the sky which they say will make it more difficult to do research of any kind. And nobody's questioned how they'll be able to launch spacecraft into Earth orbits with all the satellites as well.Finally, in Florida, a guy has filed suit against MADONNA, claiming that he bought three tickets to see her show at the Fillmore Miami Beach, which was supposed to begin at 8:30 pm. But, like most of Madonna's current series of concerts, it didn't begin until 10:30 pm, which NATE HOLLANDER said was too late a start for his early-bird schedule.
"Ticketholders [have] to work and go to school the next day, which prevent[s] them from attending a concert that would end at around 1:00 a.m.," the suit reportedly says, and Nate claims he can't re-sell the tickets he paid over a thousand dollars for because nobody will buy them when the concert begins that late. -
