    Family, badge, fallen officer helped mold new police director
    It seemed like a dicey move at the time: Juan Perez yanked the badge from his shirt and placed it on a podium in support of a group of cadets who had just graduated. The mayor was threatening hundreds of layoffs during stalled contract negotiations. Perez, being groomed as the next police director, had taken a firm stance against the very person responsible for that promotion — the mayor of Miami-Dade County. “I’m coming to you as a citizen today,” said Perez, his voice on the verge of cracking..

    Apple's software is fine — people just notice bugs because they actually use it
    Getty The latest narrative in Apple land is that the company's online software and services "need work." It's wrong.  In fact, the recent batch of people noticing issues in Apple's software reveals much more about which products are actually being used on a daily basis than any decline in Apple's software quality.  That's what top Apple executives Eddy Cue, who is in charge of software services, and Craig Federighi, boss of software engineering, argued during a podcast with Daring Fireball's Jo..
