And no matter what form it takes: another time, another universe, or just some loan random ship in the middle of the universe just give me good characters and story. The rest I can deal with. I was pretty skeptical about JJ-Trek. The quality won me over and ironically also led to Picard.

I'm going to reserve judgment until I know more. A completely stand alone trek could have advantages and stakes like we've never seen before if done right. A crew and ship without plot armor.

I'd love to see JFD act in a Star Trek project too. He just gets Sci-fi and fantasy

I don't know when Fedica gained cross platform threads capability, but I like it.

(Cont.) For the UK and other commonwealth countries, it became Remembrance Day which is more similar to Memorial Day. The poppy flower is worn in Remembrance to the fallen.

If you see flowers today, here's why: November 11th is the day WWI ended. In most countries there came a holiday called Armistice Day. In the United States this eventually evolved into Veterans Day, a day to honor those who fought in uniform. (Cont.)

- YouTube Enjoy the videos and music you love, upload original content, and share it all with friends, family, and the world on YouTube.

Really interesting that #Apple held a 5+ hour streamed workshop on game development at Apple Park today.

Also he's retired too. Just takes the right role.

I agree there. The Kelvin universe I think ended in a great spot if that's the last we see. I don't trust the new Paramount.

I've seen proof that you can do it very well... And act too.

The Galaxy XR isn't a competitor to The Vision Pro. It's a competitor to the Vision that Apple is apparently not going to make.

I'm really starting to really feel like Apple is far more focused on getting commissions than creating creating great user experiences. The business side is wasting what hardware teams are making. They absolutely do not understand or have urgency been with AI either.

I would, but it'd take a few days and I don't have a passport.

Plus I have the norovirus.

Research in motion had a sizable lead and then everything changed. They were too full of themselves and not flexible enough to adapt to the changing market conditions the iphone and Android brought and the Blackberry faded away.

I'm worried whether Apple's leadership can adapt.

This is easily Jenna's best role and for her that's saying something.
