ROME — Celebrated Evangelical pastor Franklin Graham has defended Polish-Canadian pastor Artur Pawlowski, on trial for defying Coronavirus lockdowns to attend to the spiritual needs of the faithful. Calgary police arrested Pawlowski and his brother in 2021 for the crime of holding in-person Christian church services, contrary to the lockdown regulations in place in the province of Alberta. The pastor later ministered to truckers at the border blockade, which earned him another arrest and 51 days in prison. After multiple court appearances, Pawlowski was ordered by a federal judge in October 2021 to recite a script parroting Canadian health “experts” and publicly denouncing his own opinions on the coronavirus and vaccines. “I said, ‘I will not obey this court order,’” Pawlowski said at the time. “I refuse to obey a crooked judge’s order. He’s not a judge, he’s a political activist.” According to Rev. Graham, Pastor Pawlowski “has been attacked by the Canadian government … [Read more...] about Franklin Graham Defends Canadian Pastor Jailed over COVID Protocols

Amazon has done it. So have Google, Microsoft, Intel, Twitter, Meta, Spotify and many others. You name it and almost every big tech company has done it, except one: Apple . We are talking about layoffs across the world. Apple, so far, has shied from laying off employees, even though it reported quarterly results which weren’t that great. Apple CEO Tim Cook was asked about the company taking the hard decision of laying off employees. In an interview with The Wall Street Journal, Cook said, “I view layoffs as a last resort kind of thing,” before adding, “You can never say never.” Managing and cutting costs Cook further said that Apple wants to manage costs “other ways to the degree that we can.” He also said that Apple recognises that the current environment is tough and the company is cutting costs as well. “We’re cutting hiring, we’re being very prudent and deliberate on people that we hire,” Cook said.

Tech companies were already huge before the COVID-19 pandemic began upending lives around the world three years ago. And they continued to grow as we became ever more reliant on our smartphones, computers and videoconference calls. Now Apple is the latest tech giant to signal that this period of growth may be coming to an end. The company reported that sales of its most important product, the iPhone, fell more than 8%, to nearly $65.8 billion. The reason, Apple said, included several factors, such as the fluctuating price of the US dollar across the world and especially strong sales of its products in the prior year. But the real crunch came from COVID-19 shutdowns late last year across the Chinese manufacturing centers Apple relies on . The results led to protests in China , and supply shortages for Apple's iPhones, in particular its $999 iPhone 14 Pro series. Apple CEO Tim Cook said many of those manufacturing problems have been resolved, for now. All told, Apple … [Read more...] about Apple’s iPhone and Mac Sales Boom During the Pandemic Has Hit a Snag

What just happened? Bill Gates and Elon Musk are two of the wealthiest people in the world, but they certainly don't see eye to eye. The pair have had public spats in the past, and now the former Microsoft boss has taken a shot at Musk's ambitions for sending missions to and colonizing Mars, saying he would rather pay for vaccines than travel to the red planet. In an interview with the BBC , Gates was asked by journalist Amol Rajan if going to Mars is not a good use of money. "It's actually quite expensive to go to Mars. You can buy measles vaccines and save lives for $1,000 per life saved," he replied. "And so [that] just kind of grounds you, as in - don't go to Mars." Gates' reply seems aimed chiefly at Elon Musk, whom he's clashed with in the past, though fellow billionaires Jeff Bezos and Richard Branson both have space exploration companies in Blue Origin and Virgin Galactic, respectively. Gates has poured billions into vaccine research and delivery around the world … [Read more...] about Bill Gates takes aim at Elon Musk: I’d rather fund vaccines than go to Mars
