Business]> Toronto window installation company
Magic Window‘s libel lawsuit was thrown out and the couple was awarded $166,000 for costs over -

Ⅵ - [Hardware]> Apple held its October ‘Unleashed’ event and announced several things:
: A new Apple Music plan called “Voice Plan” for $4.99 USD a month that gives a mostly barebones Music experience.
: Third-generation
AirPods for $239.00 CDN (these are not the “Pro” models). Notable is the inclusion of Magsafe.
: New
Macbooks that include a return of the Magsafe charger, M1 Pro and M1 Max CPUs, Promotion, a new 16" screen, a notch, no touch bar, and lots and lots of ports. Apple seems to have learned several lessons in one single iteration of its product. Going to the highest model might set you back a cool $7,500.00+
: Android 12 is now available
