Apple's "Human Interface Guidelines" are seriously inconsistent lately. I never would have thought that clicking a tiny (i) button was the next step in the process.

I had much more luck installing WINE via MacPorts than using CrossOver. The Windows app just fired right up. Trying to figure out CrossOver was confusing and a time vampire. Not seeing the benefit.

Who's excited for the 50th year celebrations?!? Apple has a chance to make it BIG!

Happy birthday, Apple! We miss you, Steve.

Very confused about the mention of "Password Timers".... yet the article is talking about the Verification Code feature that rotates its code once a minute? That feature has been there all along.. it's not new to 15.4. (A verification code is n…

This is quite concerning. First, who in their right mind would implement using only http:// (non-secure)? Second, why was this not caught during basic testing and evaluation? This is basic stuff.

Does my 13 Pro have MagSafe? I have no idea because I don't have any chargers with magnets, and it doesn't really affect me at all. I toss my phone on one of several Qi chargers that I have scattered around my world and my phone charges. This defin…
