Here are some stories that I found interesting and will be worth reading.

The first modern pandemic and the scientific advances we need to stop COVID-19: Bill Gates lays out the strategy and makes an excellent case for listening to science and logic. Of course, we all have to live with the irrationality of politics and presidential elections.

The Big WiFI Upgrade: 6GHz WiFi is coming soon and it will be the first real big upgrade in two decades. It could be a reason to be cheerful about the addition of the 6GHz wireless band to the current 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands.

Will the Internet Economy crash with the real economy in the 2020s?Good question. What do you folks think?

The Kind of iPad Keyboard Mountain: Craig Mod writes a definitive first impression of the new keyboard for the iPad. It is the only one you should read – hell it is so long it is the only one you can read – but like most reviewers, iPad is not part of his permanent daily workflow, and like many of the regular Apple reviewers, he is primarily a laptop guy.

The Apple Watch, Five Years Later: The team from Hodinkee takes a look at the Apple Watch and its impact. I am a big fan of the watch – if you don’t think of it as a watch. Bonus link: A conversation with Jony Ive. (PS: I have a special episode of Stuck@Om coming soon on Apple Watch soon. Stay tuned.)

PS: My friends at Dispatch have made a face-mask and all proceeds are being donated to Bay Area non-profits. Let’s support them.
