Pokémon Go Player Says He Put A Magikarp In The White House
Magikarp may be one of the weakest monsters in Pokémon Go, but he still managed to briefly control one of the most sought-after gyms in the entire country: the White House. Its amazing.
Yes, its named after Donald Trump. This is the world we live in now.
As you may already know, it has become a trend within Pokémon Go to defeat gyms, only to crown them with Magikarp defenders for shits and giggles. Karping has become so popular, that it was only a matter of time before someone did it to the White House, whoch has been one of the most hotly contested gyms in the entire country.
While The Donald only lasted two minutes at the White House, his owner, Joshua Shull, says that some people rallied to try to keep the Magikarp positioned by elevating the level of the gym. The fish was actually somehow supported briefly by his party, Shull said. Alas, it was not enough.
Magikarp didnt get dethroned for being useless in battle, however. Any Pokémon whatsoever is defeated quickly at a high-profile gym like the White House.

Ikväll kommer Apples kvartalsrapport
Sent ikväll kommer Apples kvartalsrapport för det tredje kvartalet och det är en rapport som finansanalytikerna inte tror kommer att vara en räskilt stark rapport för att vara Apple.
Förväntningarna är rätt låga mot bakgrund av att Appl inte kommer visa upp sina nya iPhone förrän om 1-2 månader och det gångna kvartalet har inte innehållit några stora produktlanseringar. Det är också ett kvartal som inte brukar innehålla några stora överraskningar.

Mansfield tar över Apples bilprojekt
Bob Mansfield hade egentligen delvis gått i pension och han besökte Apple mer sporadiskt fram till rätt nyligen då han var på plats dagligen och alla chefer inom ett visst projekt rapporterade direkt till honom.
Projektet i fråga är Apple hemliga bilprojekt och det faktum att veteranen Bob Manfield kallats in tyder på en enda sak – Apple menar verkligen allvar med projektet.
Bob Mansfield had stepped back from a day-to-day role at the company a few years ago, after leading the hardware engineering development of products including the MacBook Air laptop computer, the iMac desktop computer, and the iPad tablet. Apple now has Mr. Mansfield running the companys secret autonomous, electric-vehicle initiative, code-named Project Titan, the people said.
Wall Street Journal
Tidningen har dokumenterat goda kontakter inom Apple och har inte för vana att publicera uppgifter som de inte har täckning för. Finns nu Bob Manfield på plats, igen.
