Hey, good morning! You look fabulous.

We're bracing for a big update from Apple and digging into a 'maclunkey' first day for Disney+ streaming. Minecraft Earth is available for you to play, and Goldman Sachs is looking into how credit scores are being interpreted for Apple Card offers.

It is inevitable.Apple may reveal its 16-inch MacBook Pro today

Keep an eye peeled for news out of Apple today. According to Bloomberg's sources, media previews are occurring for a new MacBook Pro that squeezes a 16-inch screen into the laptop's 15-inch frame and features a new keyboard design to replace the current model's notoriously unreliable butterfly switches. They're also expecting a release date in December for the Mac Pro, which is important news if you're not Calvin Harris.

It's more 'Pokemon Go' than 'Dennou Coil' at this point.'Minecraft Earth' early access arrives in the US

If that's not enough, there's also the 4K remasters of older Star Wars movies, even if A New Hope has arrived with a never-before-seen 'maclunkey' edit tagged on to the Han vs. Greedo scene.

Other issues included many viewers on their snow day who were unable to connect as the Disney+ servers struggled to serve everyone at once. While we expect that situation to improve, a trickier issue involves The Simpsons, where a decision to post all of the episodes zoomed and cropped for widescreen is cutting out some visual gags that were in earlier episodes formatted for 4x3.
