<p>Seasoned world travelers know that although it's great to keep friends and relatives up to date on what you're doing by sending emails and using social networks, unsecured networks can put personal information at risk. Any time you use an unsecured Wi-Fi network at a hotel, coffee shop, or internet cafe anywhere in the world, you're opening yourself to having your personal data or identity stolen. That's why you should seriously consider using a VPN (virtual private network) whenever you're on an open network and take advantage of our <a href="https://deals.appleworld.today/sales/vpnsecure-lifetime-2?utm_source=appleworld.today&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=vpnsecure-lifetime-2_101716"><strong>limited-time offer for a $39 lifetime subscription to VPNSecure</strong></a>. </p>

<p style="margin-left:0px; margin-right:0px">Ending up the week with news of a product launch, Tim Cook on AR, and an Apple Store in the Herald Square flagship Macy's Store in New York:</p><ul><li>The Apple Watch Nike+ edition will arrive at your local Apple Store on October 28, unless you live in NYC...</li><li>Tim Cook is bullish on augmented reality, not virtual reality</li><li>There's an Apple "store within a store" in an iconic Macy's store in NYC</li></ul>

<p>Apple CEO Tim Cook gets around, and this past week he was visiting Japan. As head of the most valuable company in the world, Cook gets the diplomatic treatment, and spent part of his time with Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe. The <a target="_blank" href="http://www.macotakara.jp/blog/news/entry-30961.html" rel="noopener noreferrer">Prime Minister chronicled the visit on his official Facebook page</a>, noting that it was Cook's first trip to Japan since becoming CEO and that Apple's new R&D center in Yokohama (Tsunashima Technical Development Center) will open in December of 2016.</p>

<p>For a company that prides itself on helping people easily create media, Apple has really dropped the ball when it comes to making and archiving video. In the past, it was fast and easy to edit video into excellent movies, then burn those to DVD or Blu-ray for distribution and safekeeping. Not any more! Fortunately, <a href="https://deals.appleworld.today/sales/roxio-toast-15-titanium?utm_source=appleworld.today&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=roxio-toast-15-titanium_101416"><strong>Roxio Toast 15 Titanium</strong></a> is bigger and better than before, and we have it available for Apple World Today readers for just $49 -- that's half-off the regular price.  </p>

<p>Although some of us are thrilled with our iPhone 7 purchases and are using Bluetooth headphones or the included Lightning to 3.5mm adapter to listen to music, others aren't happy with the fact that they can't charge their iPhone while using that adapter. The $10 <a target="_blank" href="https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/291423994/ildock-charge-and-listen-to-iphone-7-at-the-same-t" rel="noopener noreferrer">ILDOCK</a> is a very popular ($115,953 pledged towards a $5,000 goal) Kickstarter project for a small dock that plugs into the Lightning port of your iPhone 7 and gives you both a 3.5mm headphone jack and a Lightning port for charging at the same time. We got our hands on a pre-production version of this device for review, and we're happy to say that ILDOCK does its job very well.</p>

<p>There's a difference between photos that are "OK" and those that really pop. Usually, the ones that are most impressive have been enhanced somehow behind the scenes to make them more vivid, get rid of haze, straighten the horizon, and so on -- all by someone who has spent a lot of time learning how to make those enhancements. <a target="_blank" href="http://photolemur.com" rel="noopener noreferrer">Photolemur</a> is a new Mac app that will be arriving in beta next week, and from a short hands-on session with the app, all I can say is "Wow!"</p>

<p>iOS 10 has a feature that most people aren't aware of: Limit Ad Tracking (LAT). This feature allows people to opt out of having advertisers track their personal information in order to provide targeted advertising. <a target="_blank" href="http://adjust.com" rel="noopener noreferrer">adjust</a> released research this morning on the adoption rate of this technology by users, and their numbers show that so far a total of 18% of users worldwide and 20% in the US have turned on the feature.</p>

<p>One of the first Internet of Things / Home Automation devices I reviewed years ago was a first-generation indoor/outdoor weather monitor from Netatmo. The company has been spectacularly successful with its reasonably-priced, durable and easy-to-use devices, and now has a complete line of products. Today, Netatmo announced the new <a target="_blank" href="https://www.netatmo.com/product/aircare/homecoach" rel="noopener noreferrer">Healthy Home Coach</a> ($99), billed as a smart indoor climate monitor that's compatible with Apple's HomeKit framework.</p>

<p>Another Friday, another Fashion Friday feature! Each week I'll be providing you with a photo (hopefully not TOO scary) of a lovely piece of Apple-related couture. This week, it's a khaki Apple Logo Hat that was purchased at the Company Store at 1 Infinite Loop. </p>
