Even a year on, Apple’s AirPods (Best Buy, eBay) are largely unrivaled. They may look a bit funny to wear, and only come in one colour, but it’s hard to argue anyone else is close to matching Apple in the truly-wireless headphone space.

Jason Snell has raised an interesting possibility over at Macworld: that future ARM-powered Macs might mean an end to the level of custom-build options we get at present.

The nepotism of the industry knows no bounds. It’s no surprise that, with that kind of fervor for new famous faces born from old famous faces, there are frequent times when the children of actors become famous even though they have done little to no work to achieve their own fame....
