The biggest hope I had from macOS Sierra was Picture in Picture, but sadly, iTunes is basically the only thing supporting it. Till, then, I'm stuck using Helium. Helium : http://heliumfloats.com

I'm curious, what advantage should Picture in Picture have over Helium?

I had to restart my mac for a browser update? (may have missed something else in there)

You probably have to restart because the web rendering engine (WebKit) used by your browser (Safari) is used all over the rest of the system as well (in webviews). Just a guess though.

Safari 10 seems to choke while I'm reading this page: http://www.seas.upenn.edu/~cis194/fall16/lectures/01-intro.h... Usually about the time I get to the section on Animations.

same here!

I wish OSX had "picture in picture" in a more literal sense: the ability to make a Space (including a Desktop space) into a window, and then move/resize it around on another Desktop space as if it were a Screen Sharing client window.

Though, really, they could go even further: I use Fast User Switching to basically be two people: "home" me, and "work" me, who each use the same apps but logged into different accounts. (The OS manages this far better than the one-off multi-account features of apps do, I find.) But Fast User Switching isn't very convenient when you "are" both users. How about letting me intermingle the Spaces from two login sessions, so I can have a "Picture In Picture" Space from my own other account open on my desktop?

(If you're wondering, Screen Sharing doesn't allow you to connect to localhost. Even if you hack around that [which requires patching some bytes in a private framework], it's still a cruddy experience, especially concerning screen locking and display resolution. And, obviously, slow.)

Notably, the ApplePay API is entering general availability (GA)[1]. The following networks are supported[2]: amex, discover, interac, masterCard, privateLabel, or visa. The following products are prohibited[3] as well as many other services: * cigarettes or tobacco products; * firearms, weapons, and ammunition; * illegal drugs, non-legally prescribed controlled substances; * items that create consumer safety risks; *…

A pretty standard laundry list of no-go items and then...

> * collection of charitable donations;

!! This seems really different from all the other prohibitions. What's the idea behind that?

Works fine here.

Rings a bell.

I seem to remember that someone sometime got into some trouble for something like that.

Just a fading memory.
