 The best description of the HomePods that I’ve seen yet is this: “The original HomePod was a music player first and an intelligent assistant second. The HomePod Mini is an intelligent assistant first and secondarily a music player.” But make no mistake, the HomePod Mini still sounds great.
 Apple has turned the computing world upside down in under a month. The performance gains that they have achieved in their “low end” line of computers is nothing but astounding. It has set the blogosphere ablaze with pontificating on what the future holds.
 Since I primarily use the iPad Pro, I was keenly interested in Apple’s improvements in the Mac lineup for what might carry over to my device of choice. If you rank all of Apple’s devices in a pecking order of power, the iPad Air lies immediately below and the MacBook Air above the iPad Pro. Both of these devices have had big upgrades recently, making the iPad Pro look a little left out.
 Wow! Apple’s display of shock and awe yesterday as they unveiled their new Apple Silicon Macs was amazing. And I don’t even like Macs. But for Apple to more than double chip performance while simultaneously doubling battery life? In a world where chip performance increases in the double-digits are considered good, Apple crushed it.
 This may come as as surprise to most people, but neither the networks or social media decides who won the presidential race. They are simply “projecting” who will win the official final vote ratification on December 14th. So all the network pronouncements of a Biden/Harris win carry as much weight as a tweet from President Trump.
 Leave it to podcaster extraordinaire, Erfon Elijah of Cult of Mac fame, to bring the truly important issues to the forefront in this contentious season. That would be none other than AirPod design. Apple is on the cusp of either perfecting the AirPods or ruining them entirely. Which way will they go?
