  • Apple rumored to be testing macOS for M2 iPad Pro

    Almost a dozen years, when the Mac App Store was introduced, there was a lot of teeth-gnashing that Apple was aiming towards a MAS-only version of macOS that would lock out outside purchases. Apple shot that down that concern, but I wouldn't actually be too surprised if an Apple-regulated version of macOS was being reconsidered.

    As long as 'regular' macOS for Mac machines continued (and there's no reason why not), Apple could offer App Store-only A-series dual-OS iPads as a more easily-managed, updated, and security/privacy-oriented alternative in the vein of iOS. You wouldn't have to buy it if you didn't want it, but maybe a lot of people would go for it. I don't know. 

    As someone who loves his iMac and iPad mini, I'd personally consider going for a (large) iPad Pro if I could run Mac apps and have iPad apps too.

    But I think that the Surface machines show how grafting touch onto Windows is sometimes good but usually a kludge, so I'd hope that if this was true then touch/Pencil support would be intelligently but very lightly integrated into macOS itself.

  • Don't toss your Apple Watch away if you get a hard fall warning, like Steven Spielberg did...

    Once when I nearly fell I swiftly moved my arm to grab a railing to stop myself, and my Watch asked me if I'd fallen.

    Then a week later I slipped and fell on some black ice in the park... and the Watch did nothing. 

    It's good, but not perfect. I'd rather it err on the side of a possible accident, and be able to cancel the alert.

  • Apple TV+'s 'Frog and Toad' not viewable in the U.S.

    Must've been a temporary issue. Plays fine in the US (on East Coast, using a VPN saying I'm in New Jersey).
