I hope that the new Mac Pro is still modular. We don't need another cylinder Mac Pro or G4 Cube. I could argue for a larger version of the current Mac Pro for more expandability.

I really hope Apple leverages PCI Express 6.0 to tackle bottlenecks. PCI Express 5.0 has CLX and CCIX but PCI Express 6.0 will go beyond that.

If Apple's smart they will use this for more than just "decoration". Light communication comes to mind:

So a the supplier has the right to build another brick and mortar store inside the store owners brick and mortar store to sell other products without permission?

Some logic you have there!

So they are basically saying that if I want to sell my product in a brick and mortar store I as the supplier can impose on the merchant/store owner what POS system they must use and what forms of payments they must accept in addition to what they already have.  

Nope.  In-App Purchases are not within Apple's store.  They're in the app, the clue is in the name.

"Users who are a fan of the Monterey-style search bar can still enable the user interface design in the View menu."

Is there any such person, not counting Apple employees?

Its the same thing with the unified title bar and navigation bar in the finder and other apps (the expanded sidebar is also bad design). Previously everything had its distinct area which lead to better usability. Now its a unified inconsistent mess that doesn't improve usability and presents new problems as user interface elements move/grow/shrink all nilly willy.

Forget developing any kind of motor skills. 

Great Design:

BAD Design:

"Hey look, Apple has a crap ton of money, there's no way they could have accumulated that much without engaging in some unfair practice!  And if we can't find one, we'll just something they are doing 'unfair' and blast them over that!"

 Quick lets' make it look like they are engaging in some illegal practice that we just made up and put into law to explicitly target them so we can cash in on their reserves!

Wait... Wait... You mean to tell me that Safari, Google Chrome, Opera and Microsoft Edge (with FireFox being the hold out) all use Webkit as their engine?
