“the Mac Studio remains unparalleled in its performance and capabilities” for 3D rendering? I assume the context was “among Apple’s M-chip offerings,” because otherwise this is an absurd statement. 

It’s hilarious that Viacom thinks Paramount is a brand that people will find compelling. Another tone-deaf approach to modern media from old media.

In times like these you want Cook over Jobs as CEO.

But do you really?  They are apparently investing a lot in video... does Cook have the “vision” there, because it appears to be a major bet for the company.

Meh, considering that Netflix’s entire market cap is $153.24B and Apple brought in REVENUE of $266B in in 2018 alone, it’s not that big of a bet for the company. Amazon runs a video streaming platform on the side and gives it away for free. It mostly sucks, but it can’t be that big a bet if they can do that. Something like Apple Car would be a big bet, video is more along the lines of Music.

Just in time for the new Mac Pro launch. 🤔😉

Illustration/Digital Art probably points to Apple Pencil updates, though I’d expect an iPad Pro release for that.

Fast forward to 2020 keynote...

TIM COOK: (With hushed sincerity) We think the future of cars is ... apps.

(Collective groan)

;P

I'm starting to wonder if Apple is paralyzed by their obsession with perfection. With all of their money and staff and the opportunities in connected home, wearables, VR, auto and beyond—how is it possible that all we've gotten is an OK watch? I'm not saying I want them to release any old junk, but there is a threshold after which perfection in detail simply doesn't matter as much as having a real product in hand. A lot of artists and creator-driven companies get caught in an echo chamber of high expectations and lose site of just how good what they've already created is. Release, iterate, perfect over time so I can have more Apple, sooner!
