Whilst in the main I use an IDE for my work programming, I keep TextWrangler around for various text file analyses. I also use Atom sometimes these days - the interface is more modern but it has its quirks, and the 'learning issue' whereby I can't …

Another Tory saying something is happening, that appears to lack evidence that this is happening. Key phrase "we sadly know" == "I have no clue, but I guess it's happening", for example. This is Tory modus operandi. And without an opposition party …

I suspect that TSMC 10nm will be used for the A10X in the Spring iPad refreshes. I cannot speculate what will be within, as Apple usually surprises. It's an ideal time to switch - iPads sell an order of magnitude less than iPhones, and if there are …

It appears that this T1 chip communicates with the rest of the system via USB. It is trivial therefore to see that it can be included on an external USB keyboard as shipped with new iMacs and Mac Pros. But how that would work on multiple computers i…

My only opinion is that this first generation of USB-C only MacBook Pros should have come with a free USB C-A adaptor in the box. On the other hand, a USB C to USB A hub is a tenner, in various formats (quad USB 3, USB C/3/2/2, etc). So maybe it'…

The price is too high, although at least the components - CPU aside - are good. And at least you are guaranteed a real GPU on the 15" now. I can't see Apple wanting to stay beholden to Intel's crappy expensive line of mobile processors for much lon…

longpath said: Why does AMD's graphic say 13 inch when only the 15 inch version gets the AMD GPUs? I think that's Apple's graphic, that AppleInsider has used incorrectly - there's another slide for the 15".

"In the PPC processor days of the Mac the PPC processor had some Intel code in it. " Whoa, whoa, what? That is absolutely not true. Actually, most of that is completely irrelevant or incorrect or just so confusing it shows the writer doesn't unders…

IMO a Mac runs macOS. I'm certain that macOS itself runs fine on Apple's Ax series of chips. The problem is the software, which is currently all AMD64. However on a cheaper, consumer device it should be possible to quite worrying about all the sof…

Apple aren't going to be telling the IT department at Best Buy or anywhere else the technical specifications of unannounced products. So at best it's a guessed-at placeholder, probably using previous details but changed enough to be unique.

Modern foundry processes are mostly marketing names, not exact matches to transistor size. For example, TSMC's 16FF is actually a 20nm BEOL, with Finfets underneath, at the density of 20nm. Hence TSMC's A9 was larger than Samsung's. Not that Samsu…

Wow, such massive news. Really, a naff pizza chain and a sugar-purveyor accept a new means of payment, and it's worth an article?

He's right, but mainly because the PC OEMs are simply really really bad at PC/Notebook/Tablet design. Microsoft at least appears to have a clue with the Surface Pro and Surface Book. And let's remember that this upturn in their skills came since Ba…

This strikes me as Intel Apple fetishism, that pops up often in analyst circles but never pans out. Massive leaps in logic occur based upon a idea - the idea being that Apple will use Intel's LTE modem instead of Qualcomm. And the only reason they …

I've personally found the 21.5" screen size to just be a little on the small side in this day and age. However a 4K display would make it more compelling. I still think there's a missing product at 24" but maybe it's just not worthwhile with the 27"…

Carrot Fantasy? Also amazing that developers of all people downloaded their dev tools from any old supplier online of the software, instead of the official source, even though the software is free. Infecting the dev tools has long been known as a …
