Paul Stenhouse: Is Apple building a car?

Rumors are flying that Apple is building a car 
According to reports they've been talking to manufacturers about some kind of partnership. Bloomberg says Kia and Hyundai were in conversation with Apple, but those talks have now paused. These aren't new rumors - they apparently started working on a car in 2015 but have never confirmed or denied that. 
I don't see the upside for a car manufacturer. Apple is going to want epic control over every detail and you'll be stretched to the limit to produce enough cars to meet demand. Apple isn't known to be very good at sharing either so their partner isn't likely to get access to their tech.   Instagram is losing in its battle with Tiktok
They have a problem.. they desperately want to be TikTok - the product - but don't want to be featuring TikTok content. That's most of what Reels is right now.. recycled TikToks, complete with the TT watermark on it. Instagram now says that any TikTok watermarked content will be downgraded in their recommendation engine to promote people who are making content natively on Reels.  Miss going to a bar? There's an app for that 
In the USA bars have been closed for about 11 months now and they're dearly missed. People are getting creative in their social distancing time and made an app to transport you to your favourite spot. imissmybar.com allows you to control the sounds of people talking, the ambience of the room, the street noise, the clinks and stirring of the bartender working away.You can flick on some music too.LISTEN TO AUDIO ABOVE
