<p style="margin-left:0px; margin-right:0px">A couple of news items for today, as well as an explanation of why the AWT News Update will be published irregularly during the next month:</p><ul><li>A Chinese state-run newspaper warns that if a trade war with the US is begun, it will take measures against the iPhone</li><li>Samsung purchases speaker and car infotainment system manufacturer Harman, picking up some plum brands in a quest to compete with CarPlay</li><li>AWT editor/publisher Steve Sande will be traveling and may not be able to publish the AWT News Update every weekday</li></ul>

<p>In the beginning, there was <a target="_blank" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IWeb" rel="noopener noreferrer">iWeb</a>. It was an Apple app for easily making websites and it was good. But alas, Apple decided to ignore iWeb. Fortunately, RAGE Software stepped in with EverWeb, a Mac website builder app that featured the same ease of use of iWeb. Now <a target="_blank" href="http://www.everwebapp.com" rel="noopener noreferrer">EverWeb 2.0</a> has been released, bringing powerful blogging tools to the app as well as a number of other new features and faster performance. </p>

<p>There's always good news in the world of Apple, and today we have three stories that should make you more productive...or at least make it easy for you to send money to a friend with PayPal:</p><ul><li>OWC announces that they're carrying the NewerTech NuPower 60W USB-C Power Adapter, a great replacement for the standard Apple MacBook or MacBook Pro charger</li><li>A professional video editor has given the new 15-inch MacBook Pro his seal of approval, saying it's fast enough to easily handle 5K ProRes footage in Final Cut Pro X</li><li>PayPal keeps improving its iOS app; you can now send or receive money with just a Siri command</li></ul>

<p>One of the big changes in iOS 10 was the addition of two tabs to Control Center -- one for controlling music playback and one for controlling your HomeKit accessories. While the HomeKit app is best for setting up HomeKit devices like light switches, thermostats, door locks and so on, once they're set up you can make controlling those devices just a few swipes and taps away by using Control Center.</p>

<p>Remember our sweatshirts and other logo gear from last fall? Some of the products reached their production goal, others didn't. But the most popular item is back again for the next week -- the <a target="_blank" href="https://teespring.com/awt-logo-sweatshirts" rel="noopener noreferrer">AWT Logo Sweatshirt</a> (US$24.99 + shipping).</p>

<p>Have you voted? Well, it's probably too late for some of you to get to the polls if you haven't made it there yet, but for those on the West Coast and in Alaska and Hawaii, there's still time.

<p>For those times where you want Siri (or Waze, or Google Maps) to give you directions, there's no better iPhone accessory than a car vent mount. The <a target="_blank" href="http://www.amazon.com/dp/B01GHV33KY/appwortod01-20/" rel="noopener noreferrer">Jelly-Grip Car Vent Mount from Square Jellyfish</a> (US$18.95, affiliate link) is a small vent mount that expands to hold even the iPhone 7 Plus, and it's perfect for those times when you want to use your iPhone in a rental car...or in your own car.</p>
