Mozilla Plans Ground-Up UI Redesign For Thunderbird Email Client
The Supernova release will include an overhaul of Thunderbird’s user interface. Castellani didn’t share screenshots, but he indicated that the new UI would be “simple and clean” and targeted mostly at new users. For “veteran users,” the interface will also be “flexible and adaptable” so that people who prefer the way Thunderbird looks now can “maintain that familiarity they love.” Supernova will also include several other big changes, including a redesigned calendar and support for Firefox Sync.

I almost ignored £90,000 winning lottery email because I thought it was a scam – winning feels incredible
A LUCKY woman almost missed out on a £90,000 lottery jackpot after believing an email telling her she had won was a scam.
The 47-year-old Michigan woman, who wishes to remain anonymous, thought it was impossible that she had scooped the eye-watering cash sum.

She thought the email telling her of her £90,000 ($110,689) winnings was fake, she told Michigan Lottery.
The winner said: “I knew that by playing the Monthly Jackpot game online, I was earning entries into a second chance giveaway.
“I never thought I would win the second chance drawing, so I was just hoping for an instant win while playing the games.”
After receiving the email, she was so sure it couldn’t be true that she left it until the next day to do anything about it.
Then, to her surprise, lottery officials called her up to confirm her prize.
She said: “I was so excited! Winning is such an unbelievable feeling.”
The woman hopes to use her new earnings to make some home improvements.
Elsewhere in the US, a hungry man recently headed out for some fried chicken and came home with £615,000.
The lucky Maryland man won the lottery, whilst playing on a whim during his late night chicken run.
He plans to use the money to go hiking and buy himself and his son a house.
Some less sensible lottery winners include a British man who took home £10million from the National Lottery, but lost it all to his ex-wife and local football team.
Meanwhile, one lotto winner who once raked in a £100,000 jackpot now fits windows alongside stealing trainers.

Apple Violated U.S. Labor Laws With Anti-Leak Email
Rules that Apple has established around leaks “tend to interfere with, restrain or coerce employees” from the exercise of their rights under the National Labor Relations Act, says the NLRB, as do statements from “high-level executives.”
The NLRB’s decision references an employee email that was sent out by Apple CEO Tim Cook in November 2021. Cook said that people who leak confidential information about Apple “do not belong” at the company, whether they were discussing “product IP or the details of a confidential meeting.” At the time, he threatened that Apple was doing “everything in [its] power to identify those who leaked.” From Cook’s email:
I’m writing today because I’ve heard from so many of you were incredibly frustrated to see the contents of the meeting leak to reporters. This comes after a product launch in which most of the details of our announcements were also leaked to the press.
I want you to know that I share your frustration. These opportunities to connect as a team are really important. But they only work if we can trust that the content will stay within Apple. I want to reassure you that we are doing everything in our power to identify those who leaked. As you know, we do not tolerate disclosures of confidential information, whether it’s product IP or the details of a confidential meeting. We know that the leakers constitute a small number of people. We also know that people who leak confidential information do not belong here.
Cook’s email wasn’t referencing a product leak, but was instead aimed at employees who had shared details about a meeting focused on pay equity, working from home, COVID vaccinations, and more.
According to the NLRB, Cook violated worker rights with his statements, and as a result, Apple will need to settle with the NLRB to avoid a complaint. The NLRB is not able to act on its own to punish companies for violations, but NLRB complaints are reviewed by administrative law judges and can head to federal court where policy changes can be enacted.
Last year, the NLRB also said that Apple violated federal law by holding mandatory anti-union meetings and interrogating and coercing employees at its Atlanta and New York store locations.
