If you had to choose between reading Tabs today and reading Tabs tomorrow, you should probably wait 'til tomorrow.
Apple did that thing on Monday where it absorbs a couple industries and makes them features of the iPhone but no one cared that much because what's the alternative? Facebook? This time it was music and news, which will now be known as Apple Music and Apple News. Apple News murdered the old Newsstand, and probably also Flipboard, but the Wall St. Journal is jumping right in with a new app called What's News. Rumor has it that VICE is developing its own news app, called "Fuck News!" But don't worry! Whatever platform / mega-corporation / sentient algorithm selects our news for us in the future, we will still only want the garbage we have always wanted.
