Apple CEO Tim Cook comes out: ‘I’m proud to be gay’

Breaking his years of silence, Apple CEO Tim Cook wrote in an article that he is is “proud” to be gay.

Cook acknowledged in the essay published on Thursday that while his sexual orientation has not been a secret to many people at Apple (and has long been discussed and debated by outsiders, too), he has never before spoken publicly about the issue.

“While I have never denied my sexuality, I haven’t publicly acknowledged it either, until now,” Cook wrote for Bloomberg Businessweek. “So let me be clear: I’m proud to be gay, and I consider being gay among the greatest gifts God has given me.”

Cook took the helm of one of the world’s most successful companies after the death of its founder, Steve Jobs, in 2011.

Why It’s Harder To Sleep As We Get Older — Why We Sleep Less As We Age

Sleeping helps us process memories, learn new skills, and stabilize our mood. Yet as we get older, a good night’s sleep becomes a rare commodity.

Scientists have struggled for years to find out what makes sleep more elusive as we age. As it turns out, there are a number of factors that change how — and when — we sleep, from shifts in brain activity to a loss of special brain cells that tell us when it’s time to rest. And not getting enough shuteye, no matter our age, can have dangerous repercussions.

Here’s what happens to our bedtimes as we age.

Mysterious X-37B Space Plane Returns to Earth After Nearly Two Years

No one seems to know much about the Air Force’s X-37B secret space plane except that it appears to be working exactly as designed. The unmanned Boeing-built craft, which resembles a miniature space shuttle, returned to Earth on Friday after nearly two years — 674 days, to be exact — in space. It’s the X-37B program’s third mission to space and by far the longest.

The plane landed at 9:24 a.m. local time on Oct. 17 at Vandenberg Air Force Base in California, the Air Force’s 30th Space Wing announced.
