  • Apple wants to make an Apple Watch screen that wraps all the way around the wrist

    They don't "want" this, they just filed a patent, that's all.

    Freaking letdown. Wow. Total disrespect to the Mac Pro. There’s no reason to buy one over a Mac Studio unless you need specialized I/O. With the starting price, looks like Apple really doesn’t want to deal with the Mac Pro anymore. 

    It’s obvious they just want to get macs out of the way to get to what they really want to get to - a headset with a cable dangling down to a power pack your waist that doesn’t even look like an apple product. The 1980s Nintendo power glove was more integrated. Sheesh. And it wastes power with the outside screen. Get rid of that and you might not need to wear it all over your body. Looks like it was meant to be glasses, but apple wanted to rush. 
    You'd thought Apple would reinvent physics and come out with a monster machine that would beat what's on the PC market? There's a tiny set of people for this mac model, and even they are switching a lot of their workloads to the cloud. We used to be a mac pro shop,  but we're all on beefy Studio's now. Works just fine.

  • 'Death Stranding: Director's Cut' walking onto Mac

    It's a start I guess. But this game was a snoozefest on the PC. Hope it sells well enough to rekindle mac gaming.

    Apple knows very well that without the Trade-In program, most potential buyers would just wait for the M3 chips to be released by early 2024, hence the need for an incentive to buy with the Trade-In options.
    I'm curious to know how much you will get for your old Studio.
    At least 50% less than what you'd get on the open market. But this way you don't need to worry about trying to sell it.
    That would be weird for a less then 20% speedup.

    Microsoft (of DOS & Windows infamy) that has more bugs and malware than there are pebbles on the beach. They are so busy swatting their sheit, when do they have the time to debug others? 
    Maybe they are reverse-engineering macOS, in order to implement some of the security features while circumventing any relevant patents.
    This may surprise you, but Apple, MS, google and others regularly help check each other's systems to help prevent zero-days. This 'us vs them' is mostly in your head.
