Apple's new Mac Pro is being manufactured in China
Apple will not need to build the new Mac Pro in mass quantities, because they are only going to sell 102 of them. Or some small number catering to a high-end niche. Given what is happening at the political level, that decision to produce a niche high-end product off-shore appears to be ill-considered, and will very likely soon be the subject of a tariff. That should come as no surprise.

Apple Studio Display review: How badly do you want an all-Apple experience?
" Going for the tilt- and height-adjustable version adds the ability to shift the height up and down"No - the so-called height adjustable stand ONLY allows the height to go upwards - it does not offer any settings that result in the monitor sitting lower than the fixed version. This is yet another major design flaw in the Studio Display ... along with:
* the 60Hz refresh rate,
* no HDR
* the hardwired rear cable
* the hole in the stand that is visible from the front (because they set the monitor too high)
* webcam quality problems
* monitor technology is years old
* only supports Thunderbolt 3 (when the accompanying Mac supports Thunderbolt 4)
* cannot change from Landscape to Portrait with standard stand.

No, '250 scientists' didn't warn that AirPods are a cancer risk
Anyone who sticks a Bluetooth radiating device INTO their head ... needs their head examined. Well done to Yahoo for pointing out the obvious.

First ARM-based MacBook coming by end of 2020, says Ming-Chi Kuo
If it is so powerful and wonderful, why not start by replacing the Mac Pro with this piece of wunder ARM supercomputing? Oh - they are not - apparently!?? Oh wait - It is for the lowest-end entry model. i.e. read it as pile of low end designed to save costs. Methinks a distraction, confusion and a waste of time.

Mac losing focus of Jony Ive, others in Apple management - report
You don't need a report to tell you this - it is obvious. They are too busy choosing the shade of gold on the next iPhone to worry about real computing. Sometimes I think they are losing the plot.

Safari to reject HTTPS certificates with over thirteen months validity
Alas, Safari is working with less and less web sites, especially important commercial ones ... such that I keep having to fire up Firefox. It's nice that Apple has desires to bolster this and that, but if it breaks the interwebs, it's not much use to anyone.

Inside Apple's fantastically fast new Mac Pro
I'd like to see the 2013 Mac Pro (cylinder) updated with Thunderbolt 3, USB-C, faster RAM, faster graphics cards ... not difficult to do - and in an amazingly compact and quiet form factor. It would be the Prosumer model. I just don't buy the line in the article that "While the design of previous 2013 Mac Pro wasn't physically large enough to accommodate the heat dissipation of increasingly hotter chips" ... have you seen how much bigger the cylinder is than a Pro notebook? Or compared to an iMac Pro? And how much better it is at dissipating heat? Apple has just been lazy in not updating the Pro cylinder.

Sonnet adapter brings 5Gb Ethernet to USB-C MacBook owners
That is very cool indeed: compact, silent and affordable! Now to find some affordable 10G switches, and achieve the move from 1G Ethernet to maybe 4 or 5 times faster!
