Apple patent shows a Mac with a curved glass display

Apple has applied for a patent that shows a Mac with a curved glass display. The patent describes a wedge at the back of the desktop that houses its processing parts as well as props up the glass. Apple might also adjust the curved glass so you can fix the angle or fold the device shut. There's a slot at the bottom center of the device, which we presume is where you'll slide a keyboard in. There's a part in the patent that suggests this design could be used as a laptop dock instead of a computer.

If Apple pushes through with this design, we doubt this will be available anytime soon because, well, the tech isn't available yet. But it does give us a glimpse of some of the things the company might consider when it comes to designing its future products.

An online map tracks the Coronavirus outbreak in real-time

As the Coronavirus continues to spread in some parts of the world, researchers from John Hopkins University hope to make it easier to track the SARS-like virus. The map, which is accessible on the desktop or mobile, shows total confirmed cases, recoveries, and deaths. The researchers are using information gathered from the Centre for Disease Control and Prevention, the World Health Organization, and other global sources to keep the map updated. The Coronavirus originated in China, and it has made its way here in Toronto. Ontario's top medical officers confirmed one patient, while the second case, involving the man's wife, is considered "presumptive positive."
