Why am I seeing this Ranked on pickup rate — 1 orgs
This is spreading. 1 org landed on it, and it is the RATE of pickup rather than the raw count that puts it this high.
Single-sourced. No second organisation has confirmed it yet.
Link-outLink-out, because only one organisation carries it and no first-party source is on it. Link-out means we point at the publisher and say nothing of our own.
| Factor | Weight | Score | Contribution | Where it came from |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Corroboration | 0.35 | 0.39 | +0.135 21% | 1 independent org on the story. Tier-3 aggregators never corroborate — they can show something is circulating, never that it is true. |
| Source trust | 0.25 | 0.44 | +0.110 17% | The Verge is the highest-trust source on this story. Trust is taken from the best source, not averaged. |
| Pickup rateleads | 0.20 | 1.00 | +0.200 31% | One counted organisation, so there is no spread to measure — nothing has picked this up to set a rate. |
| Freshness | 0.20 | 0.99 | +0.198 31% | Halves every 10 hours from the newest item on the story. This is the only factor that rewards a story for nothing more than being recent. |
Corroboration counts distinct organisations, once each, and only from tiers 1 and 2. Freshness halves every 10 hours, so this ranking is a snapshot and will differ at the next build.
What happened
Apple just announced its first touchscreen MacBook at its "Pro and tell" event on Wednesday. It showed off the long-awaited touchscreen in a video of the new MacBook Pro during the event that you can watch right here to see the new display in action. The new MacBook Pro's PROLED XDR touch display is a Steve Jobs famously called touchscreen laptops "ergonomically terrible," and for over a decade, Apple stridently refused to make one. Today that all changes with the MacBook Pro - the company's first laptop to embrace a touch interface. While it's unlikely that Apple can fix all the "terrible" ergonomics of having to lift your arm up
