But soon after Mr Xi secured a third term, Apple released a new version of the feature in China, limiting its scope. Now Chinese users of iPhones and other Apple devices are restricted to a 10-minute window when receiving files from people who are not listed as a contact. After 10 minutes, users can only receive files from contacts.
Apple did not explain why the update was first introduced in China, but over the years, the tech giant has been criticised for appeasing Beijing.

RIP Neil Armstrong
A real hero, in my opinion. I wish I were alive when the moon landing happened, but even in YouTube recordings, I still get chills when he utters those famous words.

RIP
I have a huge amount of admiration for Neil Armstrong. He was a living symbol of what humanity is capable of when we allow ourselves to dream big.Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo.

I heard about this. So sad! He is quite the guy. Sad he's gone. But people will be inspired by him for a long long time.

RIP Neil, will probably go down as one of the most famous men in the history of mankind. Even if he did mess up his words :P

One giant loss for mankind.... I'm glad that the first man on the moon was around to see us take to Mars.

I agree. Buzz Lightyear did a lot for space exploration.

Part of the speech William Safire prepared in case Apollo 11 didn't make it back from the moon. I think it is now quit apt.
"He will be mourned by his families and friends; he will be mourned by his nation; he will be mourned by the people of the world; he will be mourned by a Mother Earth that dared send one of her sons into the unknown.
In their exploration, they stirred the people of the world to feel as one; in his death, he binds more tightly the brotherhood of man.
In ancient days, men looked at stars and saw their heroes in the constellations. In modern times, we do much the same, but our heroes are epic men of flesh and blood.
Others will follow, and surely find their way home. Man’s search will not be denied. But he was the first, and he will remain the foremost in our hearts.
For every human being who looks up at the moon in the nights to come will know that there is some corner of another world that is forever mankind."

Was he also the one who knocked out the conspiracy theorist on camera after being accused of being a liar?

Aye, i'd like to think history will remember the achievement. I'd also like to think Buzz will be equally remembered (although i know he wont be) since whether it was him or Neil who first took a step for mankind is a symbolic thing. Originally Posted by Xanjori
