Apple launches late AirPods into immediate ship slip

Apple today began selling the delayed AirPods, but the wireless headphones almost immediately skated to a 2017 ship date.

The Cupertino, Calif. company warned customers that the product would be available in “limited quantities at launch.”

Indeed.

The $159 headphones – which resemble enlarged ear buds sans wires – debuted on Apple’s online store earlier Tuesday. Within minutes, the estimated ship date shifted from Dec. 21 to mid-January 2017.

Apple introduced the AirPods in September, alongside the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus. At the time, executives said that the headphones would be available in October. Late in October, however, Apple confirmed that the AirPods were delayed, saying, “We need a little more time before AirPods are ready for our customers.”

3,000-Year-Old Cooking Mistake Revealed

Archaeologists in Denmark have found evidence of a 3,000 year-old cooking mistake that casts some light into the everyday life of Scandinavian Bronze Age people.

Clear evidence for one of the most common mistakes in the kitchen – burning food – lay in a clay pot that was excavated in central Jutland, Denmark.

The clay vessel was found, upturned and in near mint condition, at the bottom of what was once a waste pit.

“The pot is typical for cooking vessels in this region of Denmark. It was accompanied by several other objects fitting the dating,” archaeologist Kaj F. Rasmussen from Museum Silkeborg, Denmark, told Discovery News. Read more.

Update: The New Yahoo Finance

By Michael La Guardia, Senior Director of Product for Sports & Finance

A couple of weeks ago we introduced the world to our new Yahoo Finance page.  As we told you then, our goal is to provide the same quality content our users have come to expect, with cleaner, more modern designs and a focus on increased personalization and community engagement.

At launch, we asked our users to share their thoughts and feedback, so we can continue to iterate and improve our product.  We heard from many of you, and one thing is certain:  Yahoo Finance inspires deep passion and loyalty. We appreciate how vocal the community has been since the redesign - both with pats on the back, some great suggestions, and some frustrations - and we’ve been listening to all of it.  We’ve contacted many of you directly to let you know we’re addressing these concerns, and we’ve made real progress based on your feedback.   

To date we have closed a number of major issues, and dozens of smaller ones.  Here is a quick list of what’s been done so far:   

We’ve addressed many data availability and quality issues.

We added back options data for the S&P VIX ticker.

We added analyst 1 year price targets to the right side of the Key Stats module.

We’re now live updating all standard quote details on the Quote Summary Page.

We are once again showing “Get Quotes for Top 10 Holdings” link for ETF and MutualFund quotes.

We’ve restored our databases and should now have the same level of historical data that we used to have.  We also made it easier to manipulate date ranges for historical data.

All recent SEC filings are available for tickers again.

We’ve added “Yield” back to tables for bonds.

We have made adjustments to the way the site is laid out and how you interact with it.

You can now copy data out of our Historical Data pages and paste it correctly into a spreadsheet.

We increased the density of the data table on the Statistics tab.

When you navigate from one Quote Summary Page to another, we now keep you on the same tab.  For example, if you were looking at Yahoo’s financials and navigated to the Alibaba Quote page, the new page would open on the Financials tab.

We’ve made many headers clickable for direct access to deeper information.

Clicking on an option strike price now shows all options available at that price.

We restored the link to the Currency Converter tool.

We fixed bugs that you pointed out.

The Recently Viewed list no longer gets wiped out.

You can now select MAX time frame on historical data.

Adding a symbol to multi-quote now no longer wipes out the whole list.

Our products are constantly evolving, and we’ll continue to answer your questions and address your concerns.  There is still more to do, including some exciting new features that will be rolling out in the coming months.  You’ll be hearing from us regularly as it happens.  

In the meantime, keep your suggestions and feedback coming.
