I will wait for the 'non-pro' version but I fear this may go the same way as the Apple Newton. The use-cases are not at all compelling. Thank heavens Apple did not announce a car.

There is a huge difference between 'no longer supported' and not running the latest version of the OS. The latest versions of the OS are designed to exploit new hardware features not present in older machines, while older machines are still supporte…

The usual argument has played out between those who just want ports and power versus those to whom beauty and form matters. Jobs thought design so paramount that he gave Ive equal status to do anything he wished in the entirety of Apple. This is wha…

The Mac Studio is a design monstrosity and should never have been produced by Apple. I agree that it was probably an interim product before the Apple Silicon Mac Pro could be released. Even so, it was a terrible mistake, tarnishing the design creden…

'Basis points' is unnecessary jargon taken from the financial world to make us think that they have some intelligence. "110bps, or basis points" is best just put as 1.1%. No jargon please. We are not idiots.

I worked on LOLITA (Large-scale, Object-based, Linguistic Interactor, Translator, and Analyser) at the University of Durham (UK) in the 1990's. Half my undergraduate education was in AI. Then. I worked in artificial intelligence before anyone I kne…

"What is the point?" springs to mind. Canon will never catch up with Apple and Google on computational photography. They should concentrate on their strengths - lenses, sensors, system-photography and be authentic about it. This is a brand-destroyin…

This stunt appears to be self-publicity. Neural nets being trained on big data can only achieve mediocrity at best. Neural nets are never going to be the leap in AI - it is provably impossible. Perhaps this guy ditched out while his going was good a…

I wish people who write about technology would have a basic education in science. Watt is a unit of power, Watt-hours is a unit of energy. Power = energy/time. A battery's capacity may be stated in Watt-hours, e.g. here, 100Wh. The why bother writ…

Americans are always blind-sided by a desire to have everything bigger. The MBA is designed to be small, light and fit in an envelope. A "15-inch" MBA would be a similar crime against sensibilities as the Mac Studio. We don't need another monstrous …

Global figures would be more relevant.

This discussion demonstrates how well the right-wing media in the US is controlled. It is easy to be anti-Russia at the moment because it is waging a popular war against Ukraine. Should I mention Vietnam or Iraq or countless other US interventions…

Steve Jobs was a misfit, with good looks and the gift of the gab who wanted to get rich quick. Wozniak was his initial vehicle. So was born Apple Computer. His discerning tastes came, along his his arrogance and bad manners, later, with his extreme …

Most things that were once done on a 'personal computer' are now being done on a phone or a tablet. It is inevitable that sales move from PCs to 'mobile' devices. A truer stat would be obtained by added the sales of the two together.

Agreed Saarek. The most irritating thing to me is endless updates. A manufacturer should be able to prove that a product meets its specifications upon release and leave it at that, forever. I don't have Microsoft software on my Mac for this very r…
