  • Apple promotes free month of upgraded iCloud storage to non-paying users

    As much money as they have, they can throw its users a bone and match Google in free storage!

    The new ones are very bad value for the money - and who are these for these days?

    - Too expensive/limited as media servers and smarthome hubs.
    - More expensive than iMacs when updated and total cost of ownership.
    - iPads and Laptops are better option for light computing.
    - Schools have fled the ecosystem.
    - Medical offices are dropping them for iMacs.
    - Students need mobile solutions.
    - No expandability

    I'm sure there are niche markets out there, people who just need the OS on a small form factor - but I think the time is coming to an end for this product range - unless Apple cuts the prices drastically. 

    I agree with most of what you said except for as a media server!  I still think it is the best solution!  If you have another mac, the ease of screen sharing to the mac mini and openness.  I have various things running like Kodi and stuff for Kodi and have my security cameras going to my mini and love it.  Updates are easy to install and it just runs and keeps on running!  Far more open and easier to update than Firestick devices, Roku, Apple tv's, etc.  Remote in and do what you gotta do and let it do its thing!

  • West Virginia school system gears up to switch from Chromebooks to iPads

    Both Chromebook's and iPads are garbage and too locked down and not as intuitive as macOS or Windows.  Get MacBook Air's or something.

  • 13-inch MacBook Pro with Touch Bar teardown shows difficult to repair computer

    It's sad to see these so difficult to repair when it could be made in one single layer of easily removable components. No reason for them to make it this hard to repair/upgrade. I strongly disagree with Apple on this front.  I have to work on these things and no reason for it.

    Why does anyone give this idiot (Jackson) time....who cares what he does or thinks!  Go away!
