Left-handed users slam Apple's iPhone Duo over one-handed design

Apple unveils the $1,999 foldable iPhone Duo with a 7.6-inch inner display and side-mounted controls, prompting left-handed users to worry that one-handed use will be awkward or unusable since crucial functions (including Touch ID) sit on the side; no left-handed mode has been announced, though Apple touts accessibility tools. Preorders start Oct. 16 and the device goes on sale Oct. 23. Critics note the foldable market is small, but some expect Apple’s entry to spur interest.

Red Sox Add Veteran Lefty Coulombe to One-Year Bullpen Deal

Boston signed left-handed reliever Danny Coulombe to a one-year, $1 million deal, providing bullpen depth as Romy Gonzalez lands on the 60-day injured list with a shoulder issue. The 36-year-old posted a 2.30 ERA over 43 innings last season with the Twins and Rangers, with a 24.4% strikeout rate and 13.1% swinging-strike rate, continuing a string of sub-3.00 ERAs. He relies on a 90 mph fastball and a mid-80s cutter, offering a platoon-neutral profile that leans on command against lefties; he’ll slot into Boston’s middle-relief group behind Aroldis Chapman. The Sox still have other left-handed options in camp, including Morán and Samaniego, while Rule 5 pick Ryan Watson is a longer shot to break camp.

The Science Behind Mirror Writing.

Mirror-writing is a common phenomenon in childhood development, where children often reverse letters and numbers. This is because our brains evolved to "mirror generalise", meaning we automatically learn to recognise the mirror image of an object. However, as we learn to read and write, our brain gradually figures out that mirror generalisation applies to objects in nature, but not to words and letters. For right-handed people, and left-handed people who were forced to write with their right hand, mirror-writing may simply result from the way we move as we write.
