To my surprise, my 21.5" LG UltraFine 4K display (the one that Apple has just launched) arrived today. Its delivery was forecast for the last week of December right up to yesterday. Whilst this is great news, my MBP is not due until the second week …

There have been bad vibes for AppleScript for a little while (e.g. the last feature to be added to the 'new' iWork apps) and this seems like another sign. I don't use it personally but the idea of standard interfaces into each app, accessible from a…

Nice review, thanks. I'm hoping for a performance boost despite Intel's priorities being elsewhere: surely that 25% faster RAM and faster SSD will improve real-world performance even if it does less for benchmarks. The Touchbar I'm reserving judge…

Nice gesture on Armistice Day (end of WW1). We need to remember that these are ordinary people that put their lives on the line to protect our nations' interests. In UK, this Sunday is Remembrance Sunday and you'll see lots of Brits wearing paper P…

Apple has lost it's way regarding usability - criticism is warranted. Ive may or may not be a good industrial designer but he clearly doesn't know much about the main concepts of usability - the "look, feel & flow" of a hardware/software pr…

I fear it's getting a little late for a new MacBook Pro this year. There's been no announcement so any launch would seem to be November at the earliest. That's probably too close to Christmas to be practical. Can anyone remember a previous new devic…

"Misplaced concerns"? Really? We are talking about Cabinet meetings (not Parliamentary debates - they're on TV) where the most sensitive issues are discussed. Would you allow a computing device, with a microphone, storage and radio comms to be just …

The second and third patents are interesting, I like the laser/LED wireless connector though I'm surprised that it is novel (the novelty might be the miniaturisation of an established technique). I'm surprised that the first patent was accepted. Un…

ireland said: Guys, what if the existence of this survey is in itself a way for Apple to leak they are getting rid of the port to get people accustomed to the idea before launch? It's either that or no new MBP this year. Even if it's just …

Looks good here too. Seems a better quality release than some we've seen recently and there are some nice ergonomic tweaks too. I never did understand why you had to scroll to the bottom of an E-mail to load its images, only to go back to the top t…
