  • Apple's new 27-inch iMac sports 10th gen Intel chips, Nano Texture option

    You can buy a TB3-certified, external case for an NVMe drive for $80 from OWC.  Put whatever SSD you want in it.  A much better proposition than cracking open an iMac.  The drive will run about as fast as what Apple supplies internally.  

    Exactly!. That's what I have, a small 1 TB ThunderBolt 3 drive mounted using velcro on the back of the iMac. No one can see it and it runs as fast as the internal drive. Sometimes I even forget that is there...

  • MCX hits pause on Apple Pay competitor CurrentC, fires 30 workers

    As happy as I am about this, I still think Current-C was a better option than every retailer having "_____ Pay". Walmart announces theirs and Target is following suit with a QR code system. It's just going to get so much worse before it gets better. 
    Really?! Better option? Have you ever used Apple Pay? Paying with Apple Watch (or iPhone) it takes a second to do a very very secure transaction where no tapping, no scanning, no waiting required.
