Pro musician/audio guy here - we are so far from the target market, it's comical to see anyone suggest that the pro market would be interested. Pretty sure any pros I know will stick with their AT50x or 7506s or Beyers. Fretting over the 1/8 jack …

My model falls in this range, was a customized order on purchase, had its battery replaced a while back before the known issue was well publicized, and later had its bottom/main board board replaced, so it's effectively a completely different comput…

The 3.5mm standard is more ubiquitous than the AC plug. Which means they're making more of these than they are the different power bricks that ship with the devices. $20/ea would be a good way to cash in on a widely unpopular attempt to destroy a un…

What if...they made Apple Music useable in the first place. I just had yet another conversation with a few friends the over the weekend about how they hated Apple Music and it messed up their playlists and so they went back to Spotify. I explained A…

Seriously ladies and/or gents, I came to appleinsider just now to get away from r/SandersForPresident and read something decidedly not political. Political Revolution aside, I just want to read some comments from people holding out hope for a 17" MB…

Well, I caught the last MBP line before the unibody update in 2008, looks like i'll be catching the last update before Skylake. Hopefully it will be as stable as my 4,1 was. Always tough missing out on the next 'big' update, but there's no way I can…

Something worth noting: There's already a service that provides HD service of local networks as well as top cable channels with on demand/DVR-in-the-cloud, even HBO is included. Only problem is you can't get it --unless you are a student at roughly …

Quote: I've been trying to come up with a good reason for cutting back the length and can't think of one. What's the perceived downside to longer previews? I like 'em. I suspect they'll revamp iTunes radio/Beats into a new streaming service, a…
