Thanks for the vid, was wondering that in the back of my mind, but I put them in trust with just that, but they never used like automatic shut off devices like a keyboard or mouse though.

Its been like a few dozen days or so since I had to change my keyboard and mouse - They seem pretty durable for "expensive big boys".

I've read a few articles, but only found a date reference in this one. According to it, the first tweet about it was on January 20.

Call me a cynic, but I would think if it was a bug recently introduced Apple would have made sure to declare that loudly. Seems like they are taking the tact that they hope no one asks because maybe it's been around for a bit. I'll be honest though, I haven't dug through a bunch of articles to get past the FUD and hype to see whats really true either.

Well, I'm mighty cynical, too, and I've had the same thoughts.

Apparently, it took some random teen in cyberspace to uncover this bug. Hmmm...
 
As someone who loved skateboarding.. Lol.

The Marine Corps tested a skateboard unit in the 1990s

Before the days of the Iraq War made training to fight in urban centers a necessity, the Marine Corps was being proactive with the idea that the U.S. Military might have to capture some cities during a war. Urban combat exercises became a focal point after the Battle of Mogadishu, culminating in the large-scale Urban Warrior exercises in 1999.

One of the innovations tested in Urban Warrior was the development of the combat skateboard.

Little Red App
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/blogs-china-blog-47236902

China's most popular app over the last few days has been one that's red in face and at heart.

With a scarlet logo reading "study" in Chinese, or "study Xi" as an ingenious pun, the app aims at shaping the nation's minds under Xi Jinping's presidency.

During China's Cultural Revolution, it was virtually mandatory to own and carry the "little red book." In the Xi era, the modes are smarter, and this will doubtless be seen as a "little red app".


BTW it's not in the Google Play Store, but it is in the Apple App Store for iOS.
