  • Microsoft teases major Office for Mac updates, public version coming soon

    Thank God I don't use that crap anymore. However, I can look forward to another round of bloated, memory leaking, crashing problems for my clients.

  • Apple shares new Apple Pay, Apple Pay Cash tutorial videos

    technotechno
    Curious: Will these peer to peer transactions be considered cash advances that are charged interest from day 1? Or are they like purchases from a merchant? Will one of the parties involved have to pay a 3.25% transaction fee? Does the recipient get the money deposited into their credit card account or a checking/savings account? I want more details.

    Did anyone else read that headline has Apple defeating the market of contractors? I had no idea contractors were in competition with Apple. LOL.

    ... IMHO At the end of the day the only ones with a worry for the foreseeable future are those folks who who seem to be out to cause harm but not be discovered and suffer the consequences. Yes the law enforcement agencies may be protecting your rights to safety and security while depriving certain individuals of the chance to take it from you. I don't personally see the issue with that. If someone does I think they may suffer from a grandiose view of their own importance.
    Or perhaps some people place a higher value on our rights than you do.

  • High Sierra leaves Microsoft Office for Mac 2011 behind, 2016 edition needs updating

    I wonder how much of this because there are just plenty of bugs that need to be worked out of High Sierra versus it being a major change that will require developers to update their apps.  I hope it's the former.  I have plenty of old apps that still work fine on Sierra that I have no particular interest in upgrading.
    Here we go again. Apple is not allowed to update or upgrade its operating system unless it remains compatible with third party software? That’s not how it works.

    Don't put words in my mouth.  Should Apple obsess about ensuring every bit of legacy software works on every future version of Mac OS?  Of course not.  On the other hand, it is a bummer as a consumer when legacy software stops working.  If it's just my old copy of Office 2008 that stops working in High Sierra, I can live with that.  If half the programs I try to run give me errors after I upgrade to HS, that won't give me a very positive experience.  I think Apple does an excellent job on backwards compatibility myself, and I hope that history continues this time around.
    If half of your programs have errors after updating to HS then you have other problems on that computer.
