50 Years of Apple

CNN Chief Climate Correspondent Bill Weir provides an illuminating look inside a company that has helped reshape modern life. Fifty years after its founding in a California garage, Apple has grown into one of the most influential, profitable, and iconic companies in history, with more than 2.5 billion users worldwide. Weir takes viewers inside Apple's past and present, from the breakthrough launch of the Macintosh to the cultural dominance of the iPod and iPhone, and the company's transition from the Steve Jobs era to the leadership of Tim Cook. Through interviews with Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak, former iPod division SVP Tony Fadell, and veteran tech journalists Kara Swisher, David Pogue, and Walt Mossberg, the episode offers a comprehensive look at the visionaries, decisions, and turning points that defined the company.

"When my college newspaper got a Macintosh in the 80's, I had no idea I'd eventually cover the launch of the iPhone, become the first reporter to see their products being made in China and see Apple screens come to dominate my family's waking hours. So this golden anniversary seems a fitting time to reflect both on what Apple has given the world AND the unintended consequences," said Weir.

Beyond the products themselves, "50 Years of Apple" examines the company's broader impact on culture and society, from how we document our lives to the role smartphones play in civic movements and revolutions worldwide. The episode also examines what may come next, as a real-time backlash against screen dependency gains momentum and a new wave of technologies begins to shape the future.

Dept. Q

DCI Carl Morck is a brilliant cop but a terrible colleague. His razor-sharp sarcasm has made him no friends in Edinburgh police. After a shooting that leaves a young PC dead, and his partner paralysed, he finds himself exiled to the basement and the sole member of Department Q; a newly formed cold case unit. The department is a PR stunt, there to distract the public from the failures of an under-resourced, failing police force that is glad to see the back of him. But more by accident than design, Carl starts to build a gang of waifs and strays who have everything to prove. So, when the stone-cold trail of a prominent civil servant who disappeared several years ago starts to heat up, Carl is back doing what he does best - rattling cages and refusing to take no for an answer.
