History tonight on Apple’s Friday night baseball?
Would be great if New York Yankee Aaron Judge tied and broke Roger Maris’s homer record tonight. Love to see Apple part of that history.

Message Pad 120 in Apple TV+ For All Mankind
The Apple Newton Message Pad 120 appears in season 3 episode 2 of For All Mankind. I paused it and was pleasantly surprised to see it being used for a video call, the FaceTime of the 90’s.
Just a little Apple history nostalgia the Newton Message pad was released in Germany in October 1994 and then in the United States in January of 1995.

Apple TV+ For All Mankind Season 3 Episode 2 “Game Changer”
Apple & MLS announce deal
Apple and Major League Soccer announce exclusive partnership to air all matches for 10 years starting in 2023. This sounds great, I think this is an entirely new format where apple is streaming all matches without the need for any type of local TV add on. Seems like no blackout restrictions. I love soccer but don’t really follow the MLS. Its a start but I would love Serie A, Premiership, La Liga or Bundesliga. Throw in the Euro and World Cup and now we are talking.
“For the first time in the history of sports, fans will be able to access everything from a major professional sports league in one place,” said Eddy Cue, Apple’s senior vice president of Services. “It’s a dream come true for MLS fans, soccer fans, and anyone who loves sports. No fragmentation, no frustration — just the flexibility to sign up for one convenient service that gives you everything MLS, anywhere and anytime you want to watch. We can’t wait to make it easy for even more people to fall in love with MLS and root for their favorite club.”
