When I bought my 2017 MacBook Pro, the reports of keyboard issues was enough to cause pause for thought on it. I have the bad habit of eating lunch at my desk, and know that even my old 2012 machine got crumbs stuck which needed to be manually re…

So, Spotify has evidence that Apple doesn’t perform an inter-department transfer @ 30% for it’s own apps? I know that the company I work for uses inter-department transfers for this sort of thing and that each department operates much like a busi…

Aahhh... Apple Watch versus Fitibit a discussion I have been having within my family recently.... My path to Fitibit came from pretty humble requirements. If I roll back the years for a number of years prior to getting a Fitbit, I had an old style …

I don’t know, I actually liked Ping. It did all I was actually after. It allowed me to follow artists I was interested in and get updates on what they were up to so I knew about new albums, concerts etc. The “social” aspect with friends was never…

I wanted a Newton for a long time and managed to buy an OMP second-hand not long after the Newton was discontinued. I played with it for 2 weeks before buying a MessagePad 2000 second-hand. I used it continually through to 2010 making it the longest…

Like Adyb my 2012 rMBP was my favourite computer to use. It still has the ghosting screen issue, as it never bothered me enough to get it replaced under the repair program. And after upgrading the drive to a 1TB drive it was a tremendously great mac…

Nice review. My thoughts after a number of months with my 2017 MBP, are very similar I decided to be proactive about the keyboard and installed a keyboard cover the day I got it. Whether it will save me from issue I cannot be sure but it has highl…

Given the prevalence of Wireless Earphones and Charging, if I was truly up to something I would simply fill the Lightning Port with glue and remove the ability to use USB Mode for anything with the phone. Of course that wouldn't stop them cracking …

Omnifocus has been a Universal App for some time now. I look forward to reworking my current database of tasks for this change and seeing if I can leverage it more than I have.

I haven't used FaceID yet. But, I would love for TouchID to make it to the Desktop Macs. Having two user accounts (one for Work and one for Non-Work) on the same machine it's nice to simply log in or switch users by using one finger or the other wh…

I believe that if people think there is an issue then they are free to lobby the manufacturer, no matter who they are, to fix the problem. In my case, I held off my purchase as long as I could as I was concerned about the keyboard based on what I w…

Hmmm, well I have the Apple Pencil and while I still haven't worked it into my routine and process flow as much as I would have liked it's a mater of small steps. Notes Plus has been good fro bridging the Hand-writing to Text for myself but there ar…

I travel a lot for work so I build a workflow to automate sending my Travel Status Updates so rather than typing the message out it takes about 4 taps to do the same. I build a workflow for my niece to use as she looks after my aviary when I am …

To quote Roger Murtaugh - "That's pretty f***ing thin." Given a "Mesa" is defined as "an isolated flat-topped hill with steep sides, found in landscapes with horizontal strata." How do we know they aren't just talking about changes to the Lens…

Ah yes, the 14th July 2017will be remembered as the day you realised Australian Politicians are so stupid that they believe that they can make something true just by saying it is. Actual Quote from our Prime Minister: "The laws of Australia prevail…

I've been using a Drobo since their first unit was released, and in all that time I have learned that Drobo seems to be a polarising experience. There are users like myself, where the units have operated as expected, protected their data through dr…
