What about this is Mac-specific?

Two hundred million dollars as a signing bonus is not something I’ve seen before. That’s crazy. But I guess there’s a compensating differential for working for pure evil

I’m very much not a fan of the current administration. I’m also very much not a fan of people who assert that it’s “impossible” to manufacture this or that in the US. This story shows the CHIPS act worked, so a win for Biden. It also shows that the…

Becoming chair could be part of a sensible transition plan. As chair, cook can oversee the new guy to make sure they picked the right person and provide guidance/mentorship for the new CEO.

For any successful CEO close to retirement, their most important remaining job is working with the board to find successor candidates. Steve Jobs did his job well — he picked Cook. One thing that is especially remarkable about Jobs’ pick is that Coo…

ACDC makes a lot of sense to me, especially if the new packaging technology for M5 makes a wider range of CPU/GPU combinations available. I think it would be great if it wasn't just developers, but any users who sometimes need to access a lot more…

Though not new info, this is the part that excites me the most: One report says the M5 Pro and M5 Max "will use 2.5D packaging" that has "separate CPU and GPU designs," and which will "improve production yields and thermal performance." TSMC's lat…

The A18 pro would be plenty fast. The big question is RAM. Is the idea here to sneak an 8GB model back into the Mac lineup? That’s the thing that would really keep “pro” users away.

Laugh it up, fuzzballs. Gruber is right. Apple's core values are eroding.

Sounds like it will be the Ultimate Computer. Hopefully it doesn't start drawing more power than expected.

When the M1 came out, intel was two full nodes behind TSMC — a huge and embarrassing gap. today Intel is maybe a half node behind, so they made progress. But with Gelsinger fired and the new management slashing spending, it seems unlikely that Inte…

This is a really nice illustration that Apple's claim about not building a chat bot is just a distraction based on semantics. The "chatbot" is just a product that provides a light-weight interface for using a combination of integrated tools, the m…
