七宗罪

一 | RIVERSIDE, Calif. -- A jury has delivered a $135 million verdict in a molestation case involving a middle school teacher, determining that negligence by a Southern California school district allowed the abuse of two students during the 1990s. Jurors in Riverside County Superior Court decided Tuesday that the Moreno Valley Unified School District is 90% responsible for the damages, while former teacher Thomas Lee West is 10% responsible, according to plaintiffs' lawyers. The ruling means the district will pay $121.5 million in damages.District officials didn't immediately respond to an email Wednesday seeking comment on the verdict. During a criminal trial, West was convicted of committing lewd or lascivious acts with minors. He is currently serving a 52 years-to-life sentence in Mule Creek State Prison.The two former students said in their civil lawsuit that they were repeatedly abused by West during 1996 and 1997 when they were sixth graders at Vista Heights Middle School east of Los Angeles. The lawsuit said district officials should have known that West posed a threat to students.As a result of the abuse, the victims have suffered “life-long mental and emotional distress,” their lawyers said in a statement. “The psychological effects of the severe and pervasive abuse have left both men shells of who they would have been but for the abuse made possible by the District,” the statement said.。 8月25日消息，据知情人士透露，苹果正加紧筹备新一代Mac mini台式电脑的发布，这将是该产品线近两年来的首次重大更新。 在核心配置上，新款Mac mini可能直接搭载尚未公开的M6芯片，而非此前外界预期的M5。 目前现款机型仍采用M4系列芯片，这意味着此次升级将跨越整整一代，直接跃升至M6平台。

二 | 从发布时间看，这款新Mac mini属于苹果今年下半年新品矩阵的重要一环，同期还将推出新款Apple Watch、AirPods，以及一款配备屏幕并支持人脸识别的智能家居设备。整体发布时间大概率早于9月的iPhone新品发布会。此外，OLED版iPad mini仍有望在10月面世，新款iMac和MacBook Pro等Mac产品升级也将陆续跟进。更长远地，苹果计划在2026年推出Home Hub平板电脑、升级版Apple TV 4K以及新款HomePod mini。
