Why aren't the actual websites made public? That would at least give people information about them having been hacked before the fix.

Maybe someone can ask Apple's engineers if they're ever going to complete (as promised) the document that explains on how to migrate your macOS Server setup to open source versions (for me: mainly Mail Services). The https://developer.apple.com/supp…

I bought the USB-C HyperDrive for a Macbook a year ago. This is not a TB3 dock, but USB (but it's in the list). The dock doesn't come with its own power source, so you have to put the charger of your Mac in. But the charger of the MacBook or 2018 MB…

No Apple isn't doomed. But the lack of a decent update cycle, especially for non all-in-one systems (nothing with Thunderbolt 3 currently in mini or pro) really, really frustrates me. In fact, if my current hardware dies because I refuse to buy Thun…

I don't mind so much that they pre-announce, but these days they ship so little that I get the old Microsoft 'vapour' feeling. Take the Mac Pro, originally it was suggested it would 'not arrive before 2018', and while technically a release in 2019 f…

That's it then, no new Mac mini ("important for Apple" — right) in 2017. And it'll probably appear alongside the new Mac PRO (whenever that happens, might be a year from now, but probably planned for WWDC). Apple has left desktop users that do not …

redhanded said: Being pedantic, 0.005 isn't an actual tax rate, the EU judgement says it was the effective tax rate. So it seems that Apple have a mind numbingly complex set of corporate entities and the Irish tax authorities made a ruling t…

Apple says: "In Apple’s case, nearly all of our research and development takes place in California, so the vast majority of our profits are taxed in the United States. European companies doing business in the U.S. are taxed according to the same pri…

crowley said: I wonder if any of those USB ports are actually Thunderbolt 3 ports. It must be. They can't let their Pro model go backwards in bandwidth. USB3 is capped to 10Gbps, Thunderbolt 2 (current) is 20Gbps. Thunderbolt 3 does USB 3,…

The only one I would not definitely count out is Microsoft. They have a stranglehold on the business market in terms of desktop computing and a lot of server-side stuff (from Exchange to Office365). They're aggressively innovating there to the exten…

Still only a single USB-C of course. We have one, expecting that docks and such would be plenty soon after (within a few months). But no decent charging docks are yet out of the beta stage. Most projects suffer (or fail on) the lack of decent chips,…

In Europe the big US companies dodge taxes like hell. So, the big companies such as Amazon, Apple, Starbuck, etc. do hardly pay taxes in Europe. If they get taxed when they bring the money back, the practical and comical effect will be that EU citiz…

The fact that Ballmer needs to force them to use the Surface/WinPhone instead of iPad/iPhone only strengthens the message that Apple's products are superior in the eyes of users. What do you need to get people to use Surface over iPad? About $2 bi…

New Apple TV + little cam/mic that turns your TV into a full-sized video conference using Facetime. Let grandma&grandpa see the little ones full sized. And say a bit more... + Apple TV can be directed from the iWatch or iPhone or iPad so you g…
