The Mac, formerly the more austere Macintosh, turns 40 today, putting Apple’s longest-running product squarely in middle age. But like someone who sees the back half of their life approaching and gets in marathon-runner shape, the Mac is in the strongest place it’s been for decades. From a revenue perspective, Mac sales declined precipitously in 2023, but that came on the heels of four years of growth that was likely the product of pent-up demand for an improved Mac lineup.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ErwS24cBZPcIn…

Andrew Garfield has been in the entertainment industry for a while now and, from a physical standpoint, he doesn’t seem to have changed a bit. The fan-favorite seems just as spry as he was when he starred in The Social Network (which should’ve earned him an Oscar nod), Never Let Me Go and more. However, Father Time does come for everyone, and it seems Garfield is feeling his wrath in some respects. I was totally unaware of this, but the British performer turned 40 this year. It seems to understand that the number…

Bewildered, I asked, “You mean, how old am I?”“Yes,” she said.“50.”“You would be joining a young, progressive team, but you look much younger, so I think you’d fit in just fine,” she said.My excitement turned to apprehension as we wrapped up the interview.Driving home, her unsettling words playing in my head, I remembered the résumé feedback I’d received from an employment agency a month earlier. “Remove the dates to avoid age bias,” they’d said. Anxiety welled up in me. Was it possible that my age could hinder me from…

Michelangelo Antonioni’s long slide from critical favour may or may not be reversed by the re-release of this late work from 1982, a midlife or latelife crisis of a movie that Antonioni made at the age of 70 and was his last serious solo directorial work. (I would much prefer to see a revival of his tremendous and neglected film The Lady Without Camelias from 1953.)Anyway, this revives his signature themes – metaphysical mystery, existential anxiety, sexual obsession – and there are some definite, pleasing flourishes. But…

Soon after European astronomers developed the first telescopes at the start of the 17th century, they observed dark spots speckling the Sun’s surface. They also handed their modern successors a mystery. From about 1645 to 1715, the spots, now known to be indicators of solar activity, all but disappeared. Gathering sunspot counts and other historical observations, astronomer John Eddy concluded nearly 50 years ago that the Sun had essentially taken a 70-year nap, which he called…
