Dailies Mac OS
Today's Above Avalon daily update includes the following stories:
Tesla Accepts Bitcoin as Payment
Tesla, Bitcoin, and the Environment
Mac OS X Turns 20
We kick off today’s update with my thoughts on Tesla accepting Bitcoin as a form of payment. In particular, we go over my observation on how something has changed in a big way when it comes to the way Elon Musk is viewed and thought about by his 50M Twitter followers. The update then revisits the bind Tesla finds itself in as it pertains to Bitcoin and the environment. We conclude with Mac OS X turning 20 years old. We take a giant step back to see the big picture.
MacOS (formerly 'Mac OS X' and later 'OS X') is a line of open core graphical operating systems developed, marketed, and sold by Apple Inc., the latest of which is pre-loaded on all currently shipping Macintosh computers. MacOS is the successor to the original classic Mac OS, which had been Apple's primary operating system since 1984.
