Wasn't 3D Touch diferent to Force Touch? Everybody on the net seem to accept that 3D Touch is more advanced, allowing for different levels of force, while the former is just one force value. I really hope all Macs get the 3D Touch technology. If the…

Flash and Java will never die. There're a lot of guys who studied this stuff at university and will use it forever no matter their employer. There're even national government sites developed in Java. It's epidemic. No cure. I wish someday Flash and …

Will this apply to WC lines? If your watch knows your needs, and a server knows the lines status, you could follow your watch and behave as automatic as a sim! I just can't wait to see this, Tim! And then they say streetview is freaky. Ha!

[quote]Thanks to Apple's new era of openness surrounding WWDC [...][/quote] Yeah, sure, "openness"... changing the current Apple direction by abandoning standards and going proprietary APIs and languages is called "openness". Last year we were told …

I learnt a long time ago that it's always a bad idea to use custom non-standard APIs or languages, unless you encapsulate all the nonportable stuff into insulated code. In other words, I won't use swift nor metal, unless I really need it for some fe…

This article looks like "please don't get upset today if there isn't anything new"

While I dislike Office, I've tried several alternatives over the years, and Office is the only one that really guarantees total compatibility, and that everything works just like on the display of your colleagues and customers. So, even if this stud…

I find this article meaningful, and I share OWC views that the CPU is user upgradeable, because when you hear "user upgradeable" you don't expect to be able to upgrade to a next generation component which comes with a new interface incompatible with…

I don't see any substantial market for watches that have a battery time of one day or even in the case of the rumored Apple watch, 5 days. It's a joke that you have to charge your watch everyday or even every weekend. However, I see a good point in…

While I see differences in saturation, the example chosen isn't good, because it doesn't show loss of shades. A good example would be one that shows 16 shades of red in one display while the other just distinguishes -say- 12 shades. But if I need to…

The SGI Crimson was the SGI I always dreamt of having. This red Mac Pro remembers me of it (except for the size -the Crimson was deskside- and that it's metallic). But my favorite color for the new Mac Pro would be WHITE. For me, Apple means WHITE.…

This makes me think that a Haswell i7 Mac Mini would be great: even more silent than the current generation (ie: the fan would spin less)

One thing I'm really interested is to see a test of a new Mac Pro, running some task with all cores at 100% and both GPUs at 100% too (maybe some OpenCL task, like LuxRender, which can use all CPU cores and all GPUs as OpenCL devices), and running t…
