After years of seemingly neglecting Apple’s most hardcore, highest-paying users, a 2012 email from Tim Cook finally gave people hope.

Could Xbox Survive without Microsoft?
After less than a week as the new CEO of Microsoft, The Washington Post reports Satya Nadella is reportedly under significant pressure to “abandon… non-essential product lines” and refocus on Microsoft’s bread and butter—Office, Server, and other things their business customers buy in droves.

Intel’s 800Gbps cables headed to cloud data centers and supercomputers
The new cables are based on Intel's Silicon Photonics technology that pushes 25Gbps across each fiber. Last year, Intel demonstrated speeds of 100Gbps in each direction, using eight fibers. A new connector that goes by the name "MXC" holds up to 64 fibers (32 for transmitting and 32 for receiving), enabling a jump to 800Gbps in one direction and 800Gbps in the other, or an aggregate of "1.6Tbps" as Intel prefers to call it. (In case you're wondering, MXC is not an acronym for anything.)

Don't Type! Pinch and Swipe the Air Instead
Tech firms are racing to come up with new “gesture-swipe” keyboards that let you wave your hands and around in the air to control your keyboard, type messages and manipulate data without sitting down and typing in one letter at a time.
