The latest tune: Apple is parting ways with the iPod

It's official: after 21 years, Apple is parting ways with the iPod - the product that revolutionized the music industry and made Apple one of the largest companies in the world.

A post published on the company's official website states that production of the latest model in the series, launched in 2019, the seventh-generation iPod Touch - will be discontinued, and it will continue to be sold in stores until stocks run out.

The first iPod was created in 2001 and was discontinued in 2014.

It included 5GB of storage, included a FireWire data entry and a rotating physical control wheel (which was revolutionary and incredibly convenient in its day) and sold for $ 399.

In 2017, Apple stopped production of the other iPod models - the iPod Nano and the iPod iPod, while the Touch model was adopted by amateurs, and as mentioned, is now ending its life.

So what is the next product that will end its life?

Feel free to guess.

Look at the sky: Next week - a lunar eclipse in Israel

The first significant astronomical event of 2022 F. Whoever looks west on May 16 at 5:28 a.m., just above the horizon, will be able to predict a partial lunar eclipse - a condition in which the earth casts a shadow on the moon and hides it from our eyes.

Unfortunately, the lunar eclipse in Israel will last only about a quarter of an hour, and will end at 05:42.

If you miss the upcoming eclipse due to the early morning, you should know that on October 28, 2023, a partial lunar eclipse will be seen in Israel, while the next full lunar eclipse that we can predict will only be on September 7, 2025.

SpaceX wants to reach Mars

Is humanity close to Mars?

According to the president of Spice X, Elon Musk's space company, this will happen before the end of the decade - and astronauts will land on the land of our red neighbor.

In order to achieve the lofty goal of reaching Mars, Spice X has developed a special spacecraft designed for a long journey in space, which has been named Starship.

"I think we need to fly a large shipment to Mars, and then people will start thinking about it seriously. Then in five or six years, humanity will see Mars as a destination and a real place to go," said the President and CEO of SpaceX.

At the same time, NASA is developing its own similar system, called Artemis, whose original purpose is to reach the moon, but NASA certainly sees Artemis as the spacecraft that will also take humans to Mars.

The commercials are on their way to Netflix

The ads will reach Netflix earlier than expected: According to a report published in the New York Times, an update sent to the company's employees states that the goal is to launch a service with advertisements in the last three months of 2022 - which will reduce the monthly subscription fee.

Netflix surprised the industry last month when it unveiled an intention to introduce a new type of subscription, including commercials - after years of declaring that it would never put commercials on the platform.

But the company's financial results, which are not alarming, are likely to force them to break promises: In announcing the first quarter results of 2022, Netflix noted that it lost 200,000 subscribers, for the first time in a decade.
