Forty -two years ago, today, in 1984, 00:00:19.920 --> 00:00:22.780 Apple introduced the original Macintosh personal 00:00:22.780 --> 00:00:26.000 computer, showcasing a graphical user interface 00:00:26.000 --> 00:00:28.760 and a mouse that made computing more approachable 00:00:28.760 --> 00:00:31.879 for everyday people. Its introduction marked 00:00:31.879 --> 00:00:35.060 a milestone in user -centered design, inspiring 00:00:35.060 --> 00:00:38.259 rapid innovation in personal computing and changing 00:00:38.259 --> 00:00:41.659 how people interacted with computers and software 00:00:41.659 --> 00:00:47.439 worldwide.

Looking ahead in the weather, 00:01:40.040 --> 00:01:42.500 Friday will be partly sunny with a high near 00:01:42.500 --> 00:01:46.519 31 and west winds near 10 miles per hour, gusting 00:01:46.519 --> 00:01:49.920 to around 25. then turning partly cloudy Friday 00:01:49.920 --> 00:01:53.120 night, with lows near 6 and gusty west winds. 00:01:54.159 --> 00:01:56.719 Saturday will be colder and mostly sunny, with 00:01:56.719 --> 00:02:00.000 highs near 14 and lighter northwest winds, then 00:02:00.000 --> 00:02:02.319 a slight chance of snow late Saturday night, 00:02:02.519 --> 00:02:06.159 with lows near 6.

This summer, Boston's 00:02:58.740 --> 00:03:02.340 Greenway will have a noticeable change, as Trillium's 00:03:02.340 --> 00:03:05.520 beloved Beer Garden will not return after nearly 00:03:05.520 --> 00:03:09.479 a decade. Mike Dyer, vice president of sales 00:03:09.479 --> 00:03:12.479 and marketing for Trillium Brewing Company, shared 00:03:12.479 --> 00:03:15.439 with the Boston Globe, Since opening as the first 00:03:15.439 --> 00:03:19.780 beer garden in Boston in 2017, the Greenway has 00:03:19.780 --> 00:03:22.900 been our summer home. Despite Trillium's bid, 00:03:23.319 --> 00:03:25.979 the Rose Kennedy Greenway Conservancy selected 00:03:25.979 --> 00:03:29.319 a new tenant for the space. While the Greenway 00:03:29.319 --> 00:03:32.020 location will be missed, Trillium continues to 00:03:32.020 --> 00:03:34.819 thrive with locations in Canton, Fort Point, 00:03:35.199 --> 00:03:38.479 and Fenway, along with a new indoor winter beer 00:03:38.479 --> 00:03:42.539 garden downtown. The Winter Beer Garden, located 00:03:42.539 --> 00:03:46.379 inside Winthrop Center at 115 Federal Street, 00:03:46.840 --> 00:03:55.099 offers a cozy atmosphere for patrons. Now onto 00:03:55.099 --> 00:03:59.900 sports. Gambler Timothy McCormack became the 00:03:59.900 --> 00:04:02.719 first person sentenced in the wide -ranging NBA 00:04:02.719 --> 00:04:06.560 gambling scheme on Wednesday in New York. He 00:04:06.560 --> 00:04:09.139 received a sentence of two years in prison for 00:04:09.139 --> 00:04:12.199 defrauding sports betting platforms, using non 00:04:12.199 --> 00:04:14.900 -public information to place significant wagers 00:04:14.900 --> 00:04:18.139 on prop bets related to players Jaunte Porter 00:04:18.139 --> 00:04:22.899 and Terry Rozier. Judge Lashen Deersee -Hall 00:04:22.899 --> 00:04:25.920 stated, There is no question that this is a serious 00:04:25.920 --> 00:04:28.980 crime, emphasizing the impact on the integrity 00:04:28.980 --> 00:04:32.959 of sports. Porter has been banned from the NBA, 00:04:33.269 --> 00:04:36.610 while Rozier awaits trial on multiple charges. 00:04:38.209 --> 00:04:42.449 In local sports, Celtic star Jalen Brown scored 00:04:42.449 --> 00:04:45.810 30 points and grabbed 10 rebounds, leading the 00:04:45.810 --> 00:04:49.910 team to a comfortable 1 -19 to 1 -0 -4 victory 00:04:49.910 --> 00:04:54.290 over the Indiana Pacers on Wednesday night. Sam 00:04:54.290 --> 00:04:57.329 Hauser contributed 17 points with five three 00:04:57.329 --> 00:05:00.529 -pointers, while Neneas Queda added 17 points 00:05:00.529 --> 00:05:04.350 and nine rebounds. This win was a strong response 00:05:04.350 --> 00:05:07.089 after a narrow loss to the Eastern Conference 00:05:07.089 --> 00:05:10.470 -leading Detroit Pistons. Next, the Celtics will 00:05:10.470 --> 00:05:15.290 visit Brooklyn on Friday night. In top news, 00:05:16.350 --> 00:05:19.050 the world's oldest rock art has been discovered 00:05:19.050 --> 00:05:22.430 in Indonesia, with a hand stencil dating back 00:05:22.430 --> 00:05:28.120 67 ,800 years, resembling a claw. This remarkable 00:05:28.120 --> 00:05:31.399 find offers new insights into early human cognition 00:05:31.399 --> 00:05:35.279 and migration to Australia. Located on Muna, 00:05:35.680 --> 00:05:38.319 a tropical island off southeastern Sulawesi, 00:05:38.720 --> 00:05:42.319 the cave called Leang Medinduno features prehistoric 00:05:42.319 --> 00:05:45.220 paintings, including flying human figures in 00:05:45.220 --> 00:05:48.680 boats. The claw -like stencil is the oldest rock 00:05:48.680 --> 00:05:52.180 art attributed to modern humans, revealing sophisticated 00:05:52.180 --> 00:05:55.279 cognition during the late Pleistocene epoch. 00:05:55.600 --> 00:05:58.519 Researchers used advanced dating techniques, 00:05:59.040 --> 00:06:01.360 confirming the ancient art's significance in 00:06:01.360 --> 00:06:04.019 understanding human intelligence and migration. 00:06:06.079 --> 00:06:10.079 In business news, the Supreme Court is likely 00:06:10.079 --> 00:06:13.040 to hand Trump a rare loss on the Federal Reserve. 00:06:13.839 --> 00:06:16.040 Trump's attempts to bully the Federal Reserve 00:06:16.040 --> 00:06:18.759 received an icy reception from the justices. 00:06:19.279 --> 00:06:22.279 The court's Republican majority typically believes 00:06:22.279 --> 00:06:25.620 that President Donald Trump can fire nearly anyone 00:06:25.620 --> 00:06:29.540 working for a federal agency. However, in Trump 00:06:29.540 --> 00:06:32.639 v. Wilcox, the court indicated that the Federal 00:06:32.639 --> 00:06:35.959 Reserve is a uniquely structured entity, preventing 00:06:35.959 --> 00:06:39.800 Trump from firing its leaders. During oral arguments 00:06:39.800 --> 00:06:43.279 in Trump v. Cook, justices appeared skeptical 00:06:43.279 --> 00:06:46.160 of Trump's claims against Fed Governor Lisa Cook. 00:06:46.509 --> 00:06:49.209 questioning the validity of alleged mortgage 00:06:49.209 --> 00:06:52.769 discrepancies. Most justices seem to agree that 00:06:52.769 --> 00:06:55.509 Trump should not be able to dictate Federal Reserve 00:06:55.509 --> 00:07:00.730 policy and crypto movement. Bitcoin is up 1 % 00:07:00.730 --> 00:07:06.029 to just over $90 ,000. Ethereum is up 2 % to 00:07:06.029 --> 00:07:13.829 $3 ,000. And XRP is up 3 % to $1 .96. Moving 00:07:13.829 --> 00:07:18.160 on to a more local vibe. In our community spotlight 00:07:18.160 --> 00:07:21.079 on health and wellness, we are working with a 00:07:21.079 --> 00:07:23.879 national Pilates studio to bring you some free 00:07:23.879 --> 00:07:28.199 classes, so listen up.

The two 00:08:08.819 --> 00:08:11.620 companies are planning to form a new joint venture 00:08:11.620 --> 00:08:14.660 that will carry the Sony and Bragia branding. 00:08:15.819 --> 00:08:18.800 Sony has announced plans to spin off its television 00:08:18.800 --> 00:08:21.779 hardware business, shifting it to a new joint 00:08:21.779 --> 00:08:25.139 venture with TCL. The companies have signed a 00:08:25.139 --> 00:08:28.620 non -binding agreement with TCL set to hold a 00:08:28.620 --> 00:08:34.159 51 % stake and Sony holding 49%. This partnership 00:08:34.159 --> 00:08:36.860 could mark the end of an era for Sony and may 00:08:36.860 --> 00:08:39.539 lead to more affordable Braggia televisions with 00:08:39.539 --> 00:08:43.330 superior technology. They aim to finalize binding 00:08:43.330 --> 00:08:50.549 agreements by the end of March 2027.

This project, 00:09:00.210 --> 00:09:03.090 which took two years to develop and carried a 00:09:03.090 --> 00:09:06.809 $100 million price tag, now serves as a template 00:09:06.809 --> 00:09:09.870 for Hollywood's adaptation of classic intellectual 00:09:09.870 --> 00:09:13.960 properties. Since its debut on August 28th of 00:09:13.960 --> 00:09:17.399 last year, the reimagined classic has sold 2 00:09:17.399 --> 00:09:21.240 million tickets. While ticket prices differ significantly, 00:09:21.740 --> 00:09:26.000 $260 million in sales ranks ninth domestically 00:09:26.000 --> 00:09:30.039 among theaters last year.
