Apple aims to please China government Apple has removed the New York Times app from its app store in China, as a spokesperson said it was in "violation of local regulations". The Chinese government enforces vast censorship of any foreign website that may pose a threat to the communist government, which includes Google, Twitter, Facebook, YouTube and Instagram. The New York Times's website has been blocked since 2012 after the paper published an expose of the wealth of former prime minister Wen Jiabao and his family. Apple's compliance with the rule indicates how far the company will go to remain active in its third-largest market. In 2016 Apple publicly rebuked the US government for attempting to force the company to unlock an iPhone that belonged to a suspected terrorist. Apple CEO Tim Cook said at the time that complying with the government request would be "setting a dangerous precedent that threatens everyone's civil liberties".

New York Giants' young coach Ben McAdoo is far from a rookie – he has coached nine teams over the last two decades. But some were surprised by his lenient approach to star receiver Odell Beckham Jr flying to a party in Miami days before a playoff game; his predecessor Tom Coughlin, who won the Super Bowl twice, would not have tolerated such behavior, writes Dave Caldwell. But his laid-back approach seems to be working as the Giants enter the tie with the Green Bay Packers with a record of nine wins in their last eleven games.

In case you missed it ... A mysterious radio wave discovered a decade ago has been traced to its source, likely a dwarf galaxy some 3bn light years from Earth, astronomers said. The discovery could help solve questions that have plagued astronomers over what causes high energy surges of long waves at the far end of the electromagnetic spectrum.
