In Fey’s own words, 1P8 is a compromise, not “the best of both worlds”. I’ve been happily using 1PW for years. I’m waiting to see how 1P8 performs, but if it’s not up to snuff I’m sure I can find an adequate replacement.

What are you people carping about? Help, help, the sky is falling!!! AAPL’s down 2.3% today!!! C’mon, get a grip. Today's “shocking” closing price is 11% higher than one month ago. Apple just reported record earnings. You all believe Apple’s a bad …

For me, the most striking thing about this (if it’s true) is that Apple’s been hacked. Apple hacked?!?!?! WTF? I’d’ve thought Apple would be better at data security. If they can be hacked, can’t everyone?

For me, the most important aspect of these changes is that Apple is willing to admit to their mistakes and correct them. Butterfly keyboard, Touch Bar, and now I/O slots. Of course, they’ll never openly apologize, and instead tout the changes as som…

My first computer was a //c, in 1984. I loved it. It got better and better with stuff like AppleWorks, BeagleWorks, a ZipChip, a modem (remember BAUD rates?), a battery for portability. The OS and programming were so easy to understand that even I c…

With all due respect to the authors, I don’t understand the need for articles like this, explaining/defending the price of the Mac Pro. Sure, it’s interesting to see what’s in it and what it can do. But the price issue is pointless. Is a Rolls-Royce…

Sure, the Mac Pro’s a really great whiz-bang machine, and Apple and those who need and can afford it can celebrate. But if Apple can make that, why don’t they make great whiz-bang Macs for the rest of us - as they obviously could? The new MBP goes i…

Just want to add my voice in case anyone at Apple is taking any of this seriously. (Not holding my breath.) Seems to me Apple could save a lot of money by simply making Macs like they once used to be: robust, high-quality, easily-serviceable in the…

It seems as if the Mac fans here are unaware of how Apple computers (not their other stuff, I believe, and certainly not Apple’s “services”) are losing market share, and seriously irritating their user base. The reason: they’re no longer the top-tie…

Agree with Jdw. If these fibers make the screen better, more robust or whatever, good. But Apple's obsession with thinner has made MacBooks worse. Thicker = more space to fit all the hardware a serious Mac user needs, and top-tier Macs must have. To…

Just want to add one more voice of dismay. A 12" Mac is a good size for those of us who carry it around, enough screen and a useful keyboard; bigger is not better. I hope such a machine will be available again, perhaps with even more capability.

My read on this leads me to finally understand Apple’s neglect of most of their computer - laptops, at least - products. While surely a real computer, the MacPro is merely a showcase for what Apple can do, but it was never meant to generate high-vol…

Sorry, the triple post above wasn't my fault. Computer/website glitch? But I don't know how to delete the extras. Now I deleted 2

Just an addenda to my previous post: a $999 monitor stand?!?!?! Who shit into Apple's brains? Are they now proactively trying to turn people off? They'll next be selling suede condoms with a Siri connection.
