  • Inside the 2016 MacBook Pro -- CPU choices

    I am a pro user since 2000 and i believe Apple's story became unbelievably self centered, egostistical, no longer "havin a dream" to create greatest products but continuing the milking process of people who wants to show off. Well, i can not believe that i say this (even to my self) but with this non-professional attitude, i am out of Apple's citizenship. 
    What is this?
    Compare Dell or HP to a Mac Pro? I mean is this a joke?
    Compare Alienware to Mac Book Pro?

    I am missing the days we had Final Cut and FC Library, Shake.. even QT Pro, even Pages 9.
    Now we have bunch of non sense crApple. They are supposedly updated but for any pro user they were seriously downgraded.
    And the sad part is Adobe CS not great either for Professional updates.
    What, microsoft? God no. Google? Nope, definitely not.
    God help us. 

    And we pros loved Apple, we made Apple what it is.
    Now, Apple lost us!

  • Turkey's president calls for boycott of Apple products

    Wages are down? Really? Everywhere I go it says they are hiring. The economy grew quite a bit better for the last two years. UNemployment is really low.
    Anton, please. Don’t fall for bubbles and false normalcy. Never mind outright lies. We’re a few years away from the Second Great Depression. When the market corrects, it will correct to roughly 60% of what it is today. If it was allowed to correct fully (which it won’t be without mass executions), it would correct to just above 30%, BUT the purchasing power of the dollar would be 50x greater.

    U.S. nixed Turkey getting F-35's as they are now considered within sphere of influence of Russia
    What... officially? Sounds like someone needs to be kicked the fuck out of NATO, then.

    ...if he pulls Turkey out of NATO we will be in a world of hurt as Turkey is crucial to our ability to retain what little influence we have these days in the Middle East.
    Good. Do it.

    Turkeys not the only country within the "sphere of Russia's influence" I can think of one much closer, no, not Canada. 
    Closer to the US? Or closer to the US?
    Political saber rattling. Nothing more.
    When Assad takes his country back and Turkish forces are staring down the barrels of Syrians guns after being pushed back to their OWN border, something tells me it won’t just be political.

    And that’s assuming Turkey lasts that long, anyway.
    bunch of sad wannabe bullies (or wannabes) spreading their nonsense ... Is Internet people really this dumb?
    "Eveyone is entitled to have their opinion but no one is entitled to have their own facts."  
    from a lesson on Decision Theory, Harvard Business School

    * Parts of F-35 are made by Turkey, hence the Turkish flag on the side. (google it)
    * Turkish people love Apple and its products. So i know it looks silly but childlishly they say: "you started it!" 
    * Turkey has one of the biggest armies in the world. US of A has the biggest.
    * Turkey was Ottoman Empire for 600 years.
    * For Muslim Turks (as for all the true Jews and Christians) this world is nothing but a field to sow the good deeds. Remember what Yeshua (iesus), Moshe (Moses) and Mohammad thought. 
    * Check the history of  the collapsed nations.
    * "must read: Amy Chua and Jared Diamond".
    * So, let US not be cocky.

    Thank you for reading.

  • The Touch Bar on the MacBook Pro is well implemented, but serves no useful purpose

    Why not convert the whole keyboard into an OLED DISPLAY which could also be used as a keyboard and touchpad and rid the touchpad all together. So the Macbook Pro will essentially be tow OLED displays one with touch features. Why not?

  • Kuo: Demand for new MacBook Pro models tepid due to high prices, disappointing specs

    I for one am very dissapointed with the specs. I have a MacBook Pro 2012 with almost the same specs. Why would i want to buy this? Does it have OLED 4K true tone display? No. Does it have fast storage. Yes. Ok. Does it have 32 GB ram option? No. How? Again - 2012 MacBook Pro - same spec. Does it have TB3? Yes. Do Apple Stores have PRO TB3 devices? No? Are you kidding Apple? Seriously, i don't know? New MacBook Pro? Drop that "Pro" Apple! since your user portfolio with these type of devices are not Professionals any more. SAD. We made Apple what it is.

  • Apple cuts prices on USB-C & Thunderbolt 3 gear in response to MacBook Pro backlash

    I customised a Dell laptop just for the fun of it.
    It looked more pro than macbook pro.
    But still, "windows" is a deal breaker.

    Nowadays Apple reminds me of Sony where you can never find ONE great product that has it all.
    Apple was not like this.
    I remember 15000RPM harddisks back in the 90s.
    SAD.
