If you love the iPad, MacBook Air or iMac, you're probably going to love the Apple Car.

Senior Apple executive Bob Mansfield, the man who led the engineering development for those wildly popular products, has been tapped to lead the tech giant's car-making efforts, according to the Wall Street Journal, citing people close to the matter.

Even as it offers refunds to early ticket buyers, considers layoffs and other belt-tightening measures, and can't even commit to a physical event in 2021, the Borg is making lemonade by focusing on an online-only version of Black Rock City this coming August.    Read more...
