  • How to watch Apple announce the iPhone 17

    How to watch Apple announce the iPhone 17

    Apple is hosting its “Awe dropping” hardware event tomorrow at 10 a.m. PT. The company is expected to announce its iPhone 17 lineup, which could include a slimmer version, as well as updates for the Apple Watch and AirPods. 

    The keynote will take place at Apple Park in Cupertino. Viewers can tune in to the livestream here or watch it on Apple’s website. As usual, TechCrunch will be covering the event, so stay tuned for news.

    There have been numerous rumors surrounding the upcoming iPhone lineup. Taking center stage is the rumored iPhone 17 Air, which could replace the Plus model and would be thinner than any previous iPhone model.

    Additionally, the iPhone 17 is expected to feature a slightly larger 6.3-inch screen and a 120Hz display, a big boost from the existing 60Hz. It’s also speculated to include a 24-megapixel front camera.

    The Pro model may receive a significant redesign on the back of the device, too. Instead of a square-shaped camera bump on the left, there could be a rectangular camera bar extending across the width of the ‌iPhone‌, with the flash and lidar sensor on the right.

    Other product announcements include third generations of Apple Watch Ultra and SE, the Apple Watch Series 11, and enhanced active noise cancellation coming to the AirPods Pro 3.

    Apple may also provide more details about the public release of iOS 26, which introduces a Liquid Glass interface that offers a more transparent look.

  • MSNBC To Change Name And Rebrand After "Corporate Divorce" From NBC

    MSNBC To Change Name And Rebrand After "Corporate Divorce" From NBC

    When a news company is forced to completely rebrand to distance themselves politically from their parent company, you know they have hit rock bottom. 

    The MSNBC news network announced this week that they will be rebranding and will become My Source New Opinion World (MS NOW).  They will also be removing the NBC Peacock from their logo.  The network, which features a stable of personalities including Rachel Maddow, Ari Melber and Nicole Wallace is notorious for their far-left hot takes and extreme anti-Trump bias in their reporting.  This image has led to plunging ratings in recent months.

    Both MSNBC and CNN dealt with staggering losses in viewership over the past year while Fox News enjoyed viewership gains in the cable news ratings war.  The left-leaning networks suffered year-over-year declines in all major metrics for the second quarter of 2025 compared to the same period last year, according to the latest Nielsen data, which was reported by AdWeek. 

    Comcast-owned MSNBC drew an average 1.008 million primetime viewers from April to June, a year-over-year decline of 15%, Nielsen figures show.  In the the advertiser-covered 25-to-54 demographic, primetime viewership dropped 20%, to 91,000 compared to last year.  

    The news platform has become an embarrassment for parent companies NBC Universal and Comcast.  The name change was ordered by NBC Universal, which last November spun off cable networks USA, CNBC, MSNBC, E! Entertainment, Oxygen and the Golf Channel into its own company, called Versant. None of the other networks are changing their name.  

    MSNBC got its moniker upon its formation in 1996 as a partnership between Microsoft and NBC. The name remained, even after the NBC partnership with Microsoft that produced it ended.  Versant CEO Mark Lazarus said in the initial days of the spinoff that “MSNBC” would stay, which makes this week’s announcement a surprise.  A branding change of this nature will likely crush the company’s ratings even further, but it would appear that MSNBC has been deemed an acceptable loss for NBC and Comcast.

    It is also likely that pundits like Rachel Maddow (who has already taken a pay cut) will be out of a job in the near term.   

    The social distancing away from the sickly network is due to its terrible ratings, but also the ongoing political shift in the US towards moderate and conservative ideals.  The Democrats burned every possible bridge and every ounce of political capital they had during Joe Biden’s presidency.  MSNBC was a integral part of the Biden Administration’s propaganda blitz.

    The combination of covid fear mongering, their defense of the BLM riots, their defense of the transgender indoctrination of children, their incessant accusations of J6 “insurrection”, their dismissal of the Hunter Biden Laptop story, their open support for mass illegal immigration not to mention their delusional predictions for Kamala Harris during the 2024 election campaign has tainted MSNBC’s image beyond repair. 

    Some critics point out that MSNBC has been losing viewers (and money) for many years; why are they being retooled now?  We once again have to wonder if the shutdown of federal subsidies from agencies like USAID has anything to do with the accelerated extinction of leftist media.  When big names like Stephen Colbert get cut and MSNBC goes into witness protection, it’s as if the cash flow keeping leftist platforms afloat suddenly dried up.

    One positive result from MSNBC’s existence is that they unknowingly expedited the demise of the legacy media with their lunacy.  The public has increasingly turned to the alternative media and long form content for their information, which will ultimately lead to a better educated population.  Thanks, MSNBC!  We salute you!

    Brevard County High School Football Week 3 Scoreboard, Watch Replays and See Game Recaps – Space Coast Daily

    SPACE COAST DAILY IS YOUR NO.1 SOURCE FOR LOCAL HIGH SCHOOL SPORTS

    Week 3 of the high school football season in Brevard County saw nearly every team go on the road and play an out-of-county team, with some games being nail-bitters and others not.
    BREVARD COUNTY, FLORIDA – Week 3 of the high school football season in Brevard County saw nearly every team go on the road and play an out-of-county team, while some were nail-biters, others were not.
    This is the 31st season of high school football coverage for the principals of Space Coast Daily and the Friday Night Locker Room – brought to you by Erdman Automotive, Health First, 4Ever Young of Merritt Island, and All Points.

    Vero Beach 38 – Cocoa 3: WATCH REPLY HERE
    Vero Beach came out ready to play from the start, and it was evident that they were looking to make a statement hosting the back-to-back-to-back state champions. Cocoa was stunned right away when Vero Beach recovered the opening kickoff, the Indians put points on the board in a hurry, and never looked back.

    ■ Eau Gallie 16 – Heritage 12: WATCH REPLAY HERE
    This game lived up to the hype of what it would be: a defensive duel. The top two to four teams in Brevard County are both trying to show their dominance and come to play. Eau Gallie was able to get on the scoreboard first, but Heritage would have an answer. By the end, the Panthers could not do enough to pull off the big upset, although they did give the Commodores a scare.
    ■ DeLand 57 – Merritt Island 51
    An absolute shootout, if you are a fan of offense, this was the game to watch Friday night. The Mustangs were fresh off a 42-21 win over Melbourne, but on the road at DeLand, it was poised to be a bigger matchup. Going back and forth all the way till then, the DeLand Bulldogs were able to finish this off, but not before both teams would combine for 108 points.
    ■ Melbourne 34 – University 16
    There is always a question mark about how a team will respond after a loss, and Melbourne was prepared. University will not be a big-time win for the Bulldogs, but surely a momentum builder as they look to improve upon this win with a few winnable games in the coming weeks.
    ■ Viera 40 – Astronaut 14
    This could not have been a more defining matchup for both teams. Viera was looking to show they are not the same team from a year ago after a less-than-stellar showing against Deltona last week. Astronaut, after their 2-0 start, was looking for a true statement win to catapult themselves. Viera came out to win, not just to play, and it showed.
    ■ West Orange 54 – Titusville 21
    Titusville had a very challenging game in traveling to West Orange. The Terriers’ defense struggled to contain the Warriors, and as a result, they could not get into a proper rhythm on offense. Titusville will put this one behind them as they host Viera next week, which is expected to be another tough test.
    ■ Cardinal Mooney 39 – Rockledge 3
    Cardinal Mooney has built a reputation for being one of the better football programs in the state of Florida. For the Raiders, this game was a test to gauge how good they are at this point in the season. While this one may not be one to remember, it will give the Raiders some experience against an outstanding team.
    ■ Palm Bay 34 – Cocoa Beach 18
    The Pirates have now won their last two, which does not indicate they have figured everything out, but that the team is starting to buy into what new head coach Kevin Mays is trying to sell. Palm Bay will now head to Merritt Island and try to pull off a major upset.
    ■ Holy Trinity 47 – Port St. Lucie 0
    Holy Trinity lost a heartbreaker a week ago at Titusville and could not have been more ready to take the field this week. They dominated from start to finish, pitching a shutout over Port St. Lucie. The Tigers will now head to Bayside for their third of four straight away games to begin this season.
    ■ Saint Andrew’s 21 – MCC 9
    After having a game cancellation a week ago, the Hustlers were eager to take the field, but they just never found their groove. Although it is a tough loss for MCC, the season is still young, and they can turn it around. The Hustlers will head to Riverview Sarasota next week, which will be another test for them.
    ■ Bayside 22 – Tradition Prep 6
    Solid win for a Bayside team that was shut out a week ago by Palm Bay. They will have to let this win motivate them, however, as Holy Trinity comes to town, and that game will not be any easier. On the bright side, the Bears are now 2-2 on the season and have an opportunity at a couple of upset wins ahead of them.
    ■ Merritt Island Christian 55 – Countryside Christian 16
    This game for Merritt Island Christian was personal; just a season ago, Countryside Christian bounced the Cougars out of the playoffs. Merritt Island Christian dominated and now moves to 4-0 on the season, as they are in the hunt for their second state championship in the past three seasons.HOT OFF THE PRESS!
