Tomorrow morning (Wednesday) is the Apple event you've been waiting for, because TIM COOK will be showing off the new iPhoneX's and let you know whether you wanna shell out the big bucks for a new phone. As you know, the last iPhoneX retailed for $999.
Early word is that Apple's updated model will be called the iPhone XS, with a faster processor and updated camera. There's also reportedly a 6.8-inch version which will be called the iPhone XS Max instead of the iPhoneX Plus.Speaking of Cook...ing (sorry for the pun), fans of Subways $5 footlong will be saddened to find out that it's going away --USA Today reports each franchisee will decide whether to continue to sell the sub, but it's unlikely because of the slim profit margin the sandwich brings.
US News & World Report is out with their 2019 list of Best Colleges, which rates 311 universities on a variety of factors. The top 20 in its ranking of National Universities:
19. (tie) UCLE (University of California-Los Angeles), Washington University in St. Louis.
18. University of Notre Dame
16. (tie) Cornell University, Rice University
14. (tie) Brown University, Vanderbilt University
12. (tie) California Institute of Technology, Dartmouth College
10. (tie) Johns Hopkins University, Northwestern University.
8. (tie) Duke University, University of Pennsylvania,
7. Stanford University
3. (tie) Columbia University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Yale University, University of Chicago,
2. Harvard University
1. Princeton University...but the biggest news tomorrow could be that Apple is finally putting out a phone with dual SIM cards. Foreign manufacturers have been doing this for years... and that way you could have a "business" number and a "personal" or "private" number on the same phone which would let you take the important calls first. Or, for that matter, ignore business calls after close of business.
Or, it could be two personal numbers... one for the spouse and kids... and another for the person you're having an affair with. Not that it ever happens outside of movies, of course.
